For a time, when he and Sebastian were low on money during their escape and during his own escape through Europe, Tyson busked for money. He can sing and play the piano, and when in need of booze money, Moran was willing to play the guitar.
Though Tyson is an excellent singer, he rarely elects to do so when he’s on his own. He spent the majority of his childhood being taught to stay quiet unless addressed directly. He doesn’t tend to make any noise unless he has to. On a good day, he’ll hum - very quietly - to himself, but singing is rare.
When Sebastian’s beating were particularly vicious, Tyson would sing Oh Danny boy to himself, because it is what Jethro sang to Tyson when he was young. The advantage of that was that, no matter how much his voice shook through the pain, it was enough to appease Sebastian that Tyson wasn’t going anywhere, so he wouldn’t return for another beating.
When Tyson babysits his currently seven year old nephew James - born March 20th 2006 - they sing this song together, and because of this it is one of Tyson’s favourite songs.Tyson was a great singing voice and James likes listening to his uncle sing. James used to request that Tyson sung this song a lot and eventually it became their song to sing when going on a road trip (to the zoo, aquarium, beach, et cetera) or when just in Tyson’s apartment.Tyson is very close to his nephew, even though they only see each other a few times a month.Tyson would like to see his nephew, and brother (Jethro) and sister-in-law (Rosie), more often, but Tyson and his brother came to the agreement not to because of Tyson’s work for his owners and Jethro’s work as a police officer.
