Thirsty Merc's lead singer Rai Thistlethwayte performs the band's new single "Mousetrap Heart".
Recorded at Albert Studios in Sydney, on a Stuart & Sons piano.
Just staggeringly talented musician, performer, song writer, jazz groover...OMG he should have superstar status!
This right here is the most underrated Australian virtuoso musicians on the plant, & we all need to RECOGNISE!!! 🙏🙏🙏
The most
This guy's groove is spectacular.
Such an underrated Australian vocalist/musician. Love it!!
I've discoverd TM yesterday. Now I'm your fan. I'm from Poland - love the band, love the groove, and now I love Australia. Thank you.
rai should release an entire album of acoustic merc songs
For anyone seeing this some years later, we have this album and it's called Acoustic Anniversary Album
So humble 😌, what a voice. What a band. What a collection of good vibes, 👌 mintox
This has to be one of the best songs i've heard on the radio all year. Finally, finally, finally a commercial artist with a great ear for music and a band that isn't just putting out records at the label's behest. You're renewing my faith for future pop music!
Rai is amazing live :) He performed last night at the Kids Choice Awards and my brother and I were right up infront of him on the stage. He was just the best :)
I'm calling it. This is the best video on the internet.
The fact that Rai has the capability to not only write such amazing music, but improvise his trills and whatnot, is proof that he is actually one of the country's greatest musicians.
Been on repeat the past week. I've gotten a lot of my friends hooked to this song. :D
This is freakin' WOW. Best acoustic I've heard in a long time. Totally seeing Thirsty Merc when they come to Melbourne in a few weeks!
Excuse me but how have I only just heard this now!
this is really great. Love the piano style.
Always AWESOME live/acoustic - what a talent!!! Thanks Rai - Look forward to seeing you in Perth... Can't wait.
Saw you live last night in bingara you and your band are amazing 🥰so entertaining
Damn I wish I could play piano like that.
You are outstanding Rai....Thank you, loved your concert in Perth last week. Please come back soon x
Bloody amazing & so talented. Love this version

He is absolutely out of control! he is ridiculously good. His vocals are perfect and his piano skills are superior to most!

BAHH your voice is beautiful...love the song!
yes. yes to this.
Yes this band is super under rated .. go over seas for a decade and come back famous .. then they "the rest of the Muppets ) might see what we already see
AMEN
this is sooo awesome! best band out there atm
yeh , great song. real deal. thankyou Thirsty Merc.
This version is so much better than the one that came out on radio. Goes to show that Rai truly is the talent behind the band. Amazing!
Most underrated Australian musician EVER.
sooooooooooo good
WOW!!!! SO SO SO underrated!
Oh my god!
that felt so good to listen to!
it was like someone punched me in the friggin sternum!
dammmn!
WOW.
That was just fucken incredible
fucking brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish you guys would play an all ages gig :(
this is eargasmic
200 times better than the pop release. This has the groove! Manufacturing process removed all the organic nature of this performance which makes the song so good.
my mind is absofuckinlutely blown!!!! im sure that "dislike" was just an accidental slip of the hand/mouse...
Some of the sounds he comes up with reminds me of Jamiriquai... my highest complements
i wish i could go to a performance ): if only age really were a state of mind.
@lLukus listen to it!! turn up the bass if you have to and work that out first, then build chords over that. it starts on Bb Ab Bb, works up to Eb Db Eb. The chords sound mostly dominant (1 3 5 b7) until the prechorus, which starts on F (maj7 if you want) Fm7, Bb Ab Bb, Eb, Db, Eb, Fm Gb, Gb11... Try to think from the perspective of writing it - the Bb Ab Bb thing is really just embellishing the Bb, as is the same play on the Eb.. use your ears dude, you'll get so much more out of it.
Hey man I literally LOVE this song, I was instantly hooked as soon as I heard it! Nice work brother! If you're ever around Melbourne I'd definitely love to jam with you on this song, especially this version. I've been playing guitar for about 10-11 years now and I can honestly say I'd be honored to jam with you. Let me know if you're ever around, we'll jam out some sweet tunes haha. Anyway, take care brother, keep it up!
is it possible to get the sheet music for this???
@thelovelypiano I heard somewhere that he was originally a Jazz Musician, so I'd say very early on before he got into Alternative music.
Love Woo Young-ie taste of music >
rai's got SOUULLL! ;)
Cam someone help me find the video where he is playing "Homesick" on
this keyboard, while Phill is playing the double bass with him?
I can't find it anywhere!
check out the band callled "mozaik"- there single is called "pieces of you."
mozaik is another australian that are awesome also.
fuck the other version, put this on the album and i'm sold. Amazing stuff.
i feel blessed to be inside 10,000 subscribers for this band. Add three more 0's to that sub and that's realistic for the talent displayed.
Genuinely incredible that there's people producing this level of music and aren't known at all (at least where I live). Makes me think of all the other great bands/artists i'm probably missing out on simply because I didn't know they existed
If I could be anyone it’d be you
Awesome as usual. Not much more to say.
Is this what the album sounds like? Rai is fantastic with the jazz piano.
It sounds like, "This girl's got an abstract heart"
🤣🤣
his voice is the vocal equivalent of god .
Absolutely awesome what a great voice this guy has talent unlike lady gaga, justin bieber and katy perry who suck please come to nz for a tour we would love you to come back over here your music is an inspiration and sounds incredible please release mousetrap heart in nz soon thirsty merc
my dad showed me how to play this last night the funny thing is hes not just playing blues he is all over the place!..........................in a good way
I agree 100%. Very underrated!!! Nothing irritates me more then when they're compared to Maroon 5, when they have a more original Jazzy style that feels almost Tom Waits inspired.
How do we go about getting sheet music/ chords for this! IT's AMAZING! Please Please Please give us the chords!!!!!
Any luck on sheets?
shit this is tooo good wtf?!?
Much better this way 😉
As much as I absolutely heart Muse, who agrees that Rai could kick Bellamy's ass in a key- off (my word for a battle of piano skills and general piano related awesomeness.. haha). It's a shame T/M aren't better known around the globe- they'd be the "new" geniuses rockin' Glastonbury, Rock am Ring or something!
Just as good as the original!
I prefer this version to the studio release. Both are awesome though
rai your vox is the bomb say it again mate you have me singing yout tunes mayday this girl has a mousetrap heart
@gregs2277 hahahaha thanks ALOT for scarring that for me!! ;)
..hilarious!
Adam Morrison!
isnt he Sun Rai? Is he using multiple names??
So much better than the original.
@brodogs1 i mean honestly... rai's piano theory is amazing, and his voice is really pure. coming from a musical standpoint there is a lot of technique in this video in his piano styling and his voice.
Woo Young of 2PM? He likes Thirsty Merc?
@explode90 Yeah thanks man! I ended up actually working it out that day, and it sounded pretty spot on. I'm just a lazy bitch haha.
@MultiTank666 Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. His hair is awesome.
Dude sounds even better live than he does from the studio albums.
Piss off the piano and vocals from the album version, add the acoustic version in and you got a better track than the original album version.
I prefer this version much more than the official released one - they simplified the piano too much in the official one, and sped it up too much I think.
and ill listen to gangnam style :3
@0430yes Bring me here kiki = ]
Have some " Hottest " here? ^^
uhm... who disliked this video?
