Written in 1849, so of course it bears no resemblance to anything modern. Just sit back and enjoy the heart-warming ending!</p><p><br></p><p>After that spectacle, Tim's nibbling at the remains of the smoldering barbecue and considering his choices in life and how they've been reflected in his music, as he walks us back indoors to the House of Primal Fear.
