- This is the world's longest - and perhaps prettiest - life insurance commercial. (IYKYK)
I'm quite enjoying making a few home vids of Groundhog Day songs, as I dive back into this bonkers score.
Groundhog Day is the Best Musical Olivier Award-winning show I made with Danny Rubin (who wrote the original screenplay!) and the creative team behind Matilda the Musical.
It re-opens in London in May 2023, and in time will tour the UK and beyond. Go see it if you possibly can because it's very fkn cool. Funny and intricate and sad and romantic and joyous. If I do say so myself.

LYRICS
On and on and on, you stumble on
Towards the evening sun
She waits for you with open arms
You stare right through her
On and on, you fall towards her
Cold embrace in shadowed doorway
Offers nothing, still she draws you
Ever to her
On and on and on, you stumble on
Towards the sinking sun
Turn a blind eye, fight or run
Rest assured, the night will come
On and on you grasp and guess
And search for patterns in the mess
Of what has been, and what is left
To yet endure
The jester shrugs and plays his part
The fearful see only dark
The pious with their hope-filled hearts
Sing Hallelujah
On and on and on, you stumble on
Towards the cooling sun
Turn a blind eye, fight or run
Rest assured, the night will come
All the love, and all the gold
All you've built and all you've sold
All the power you may hold
You won't evade her
All the steel, all the bricks
All the math and magic tricks
All the carrots, all the sticks
Will not dissuade her
On and on and on, you stumble on
Towards the fading sun
Turn a blind eye, fight or run
Rest assured, the night will come
As for that, the rest is just a test of your endurance
You gotta love life
You gotta love life
You gotta love life

Weird and chilling. An ode to death and the importance of life insurance.
I'm all weepy & sleepy now...
The world needs more Tim Minchin!
Agreed!!!!
You sir are pure genius. I thank you for writing cardinal pell for us survirors of church abuse.
This song is so beautiful and I love hearing Tim sing it.
We went to see the show in the Old Vic on the 9th of August. Groundhog day was already one of my favorite stories but this musical is, to quote someone, very fkn cool. What clearly separates this from the movie is how superb the powerlessness of Phil to avoid the inevitable is given life. And then this song hits you straight in the soul when song by the widower Ned, the life insurance salesman.
Very happy Groundhog Day has been getting the recognition it deserves
I saw Groundhog Day twice on Broadway. It was amazing. Please tell me one of these performances will be taped for people who can't get to see it??? 💙💙💙
I wish Matilda had been taped. The movie doesn’t hit the same notes for we theater 🎭 nerds 😇
This speaks to my soul.
Beautiful
As usual
Lol the “insurance” I wasn’t prepared
I'd love these covers of just you and a piano on Spotify.
Whatever insurance you’re selling, I’m buying it. ❤
GHD is the best. I love how you wove the melodies throughout the show, it's my favourite cast album to listen to in order because the musicality is so clever and complex. I'm desperate for the show to come to Australia
I love your songs. They require me to use my brain.
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.
I'm quite enjoying it too. Thank you very much.
Aww what a beautiful treat to have this morning. Thank you Tim.
Your piano playing has become an inspiration for me, one day i will be as good as you, this song reminded me of a bit of a Bowie/Elton mix
This American can't believe she stumbled on you 4 years ago.
Adored your series too
Thank you, Tim. I was missing this in your voice. The Groundhog CD is great, but I prefer hearing your voice singing all these. Particularly this one and Seeing You.
This musical...
End to end its perfect
Saw the show in Melbourne 16th March. Thank you!
This song is haunting me and I can't get enough of it; am so happy to have the opportunity to hear you sing it.
I wish someone would do this musical where I live in any way. College, community theatre, national tours. Anything.
My city has a small professional theater and they're doing Matilda this year, much excite.
This song hits me way harder than it has any right to. As far as insurance songs go, it has the same level of emotional impact on me as that time our TV bugged out and played Liberty Mutual's 3 second jingle for 3 minutes straight. Thankfully this does not have a torturous and maddening kind of impact.
Can't believe Liberty Mutual got away with that, genius
Hauntingly beautiful 😢
After the Groundhog day show on a hunt through UA-cam to find all songs sang by Tim. Amazing show, and fantastic music+lyrics that have so much Tim talent in them, had to find how it would sound in 'original' 💌
Thanks Tim... I needed this
Your usual superb trademark melodic choices. So beautiful.
i love you!
What a pleasant surprise to find on my recommended!
It’s exquisite
Tim Minchin is my favorite video
So sweet see & hear talent! ☺
You are truly a Musical Genius
TIM MINCHIN
Thanks
Real music
Light 🕯️🚨 on comedy
But real
Wonderful!❤
Great song
Man, I wish I had a quarter of your musical genius!!!!
Amazing, half listened until the last 20 seconds and that made me listen to the whole song again and yes, why do we do it, need to find a reason , I watched another video tonight and it was a child ringing their father to say they loved them. Might have to rethink things.
Magnifique.
Wish I could super like this
_The Nightman Cometh..!!_
(evillaugh)
Tim, I'm sure you're not a comment reader but I would love a release of your GHD/Matilda demos. Love this!
I really hope you do the music for more musicals sooner or later. I'm a big ol' showtunes nerd, and your two musicals so far are both packed full of some of my favorites.
this song feels like the perfect metaphor of having depression
My cousin recently lost his battle of depression. I listened to this song a lot. The ending "you gotta love life" has really helped me through.
I don't know the background to the song but I listen to speaking videos at 1.5 or 2 speed and I was just listening to one when I realised (half way through this song) that my playback might still be on 1.5 speed. Normally it's obvious that a song is too fast.. this time it sounded really good .. sounds very different at normal speed, though!
how is no one talking about how he made a hilarious joke at the end with saying "insurance"....?!?!?!
I really hope someone does Groundhog Day in Aus sometime
... insurance.
Fuckin brilliance.
Apt title.
Are you going to tour the rest of the EU? I'd love it if you come to the Netherlands.

My dream is to meet Tim Minchin !! He is such a mentally ill person with an audience !
Beautiful… as I knew it would be in Tim’s voice. I really appreciate the wisdom of Ned. I quietly wish a happy turn for him. Hold on Ned. 😉

Need a Catholic church specific tune.
Tim Minchin

Made my day! Thank you Tim Minchin! Once again your music and lyrics sooth the spirit!
Tim Minchin Just ...amazing! As always. Only a Rock and Roll Nerd could be so! 👍💙💖🥰✌
Beautiful. Tim's a real treasure.
Hauntingly beautiful. 💜
Спасибо ❤
We’re all pretty much bumbling through- the only thing that makes a difference is who, what, why you do.
Be kind to the people you meet, even if they’re challenging.
You gotta love life. You gotta love life. You gotta love life…..
Insurance.
Haven't had the opportunity to see it, but I LOVE the cast album and have listened to it a lot.
Groundhog Day is easily my favourite musical, I still regularly listen to the soundtrack, so many great songs. It's so disheartening that it didn't have more success in NYC.
For those wondering about the insurance reference, this song is sung by a character who is a life insurance salesman, who has a catchphrase "you gotta love life insurance".
they have to make a film version of the stage show if they can keep the whimsy, magic and darkness
This is much more soothing than reading LNP tweets attempting to gotcha the government, on and on they stumble on hoping we’ll forgot them being in power
Ugh… this song rips me up every. Single. Time. Here’s to GHD! ❤
hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.
Beautiful bittersweet song.
Omg never have heard you before the one with your daughter made me cry in bliss and love and wow what incredible story teller you are of course can sing as well what beautiful music going to keep looking ! Listening , so exciting to find 💜
Another excellent song from a musical genius. Loved it. Thanks Tim. 🎉
So excited to see the melancholic beauty of this song in person again!
This was real chill and sweet to listen too. Then I realised I got so into the melodic voice that I forgot to pay attention to the lyrics. Guess I'll just have to listen again... what a shame ^^
The lyrics are great as well :)
I can totally visualise some videos/movie scenes/game trailers with this as backing, and it feels very powerful.
Some voices do that to me too, and Tim's is one of them. If I put his album on, I have to decide if I'm listening to it for the lyrics or the sound this time.
I love this side of Tim. It's quite somber, but yet soothing to me. His voice cuts deep into the soul with these meaningful lyrics. And even though I'm aware of the musical theater background, I've never seen any of them.I would love to, but it isn't possible for me at this point in time. I'm thankful I subscribe and can see him here. Thank you, Tim. This was beautiful ❤
I loved this musical so much!
Hi Tim!
Always a Fan!
Fiiiirst
This is possibly my favourite GHD song. When I heard it on Broadway I knew it was important though I didn’t know the score at all.
Have listened many many times since then.
🎼🎹🎶
You're amazing! Absolutely incomparable!
Let's all soak up the Luv;)
The local Magistrate was oft to say that, "they grow up rather young here, don't they Constable(?)"
Did you notice how they all went rather quiet after the train hooted its' horn at Wacol Station circa last night? I wonder what the sound of the horn meant? Let's hope they don't do it at peak/peek hour and ruin the defloreation of the local kiddies, excuse the pun;)
The usual emergency service nightly wake up siren for the residence of Inala had stopped for some reason. Goodness me, I hope they're all okay(?) Oh Deer! What on Earth could the matter be? To be? Was the persons eyes dazzled by the train light like a deer in the headlights joke?
It means you are all worth it, doesn't it! That's a compliment when they turn the power back on;)
Don't be disappointed though. It must be very exciting for you all and give you a wet set of undies to contend with sometimes. It's exciting, isn't it! You find it all erotic just like the people in Le Flores, Oklahoma. No, not Flores Island, Indonesia:) Gee, how did He know that one you think(?)
Here's the Albanese to Napoleon Bonaparte Surname Joke as a nexus in the 'Why did the Chicken cross the road' (?) Joke of the World Joke per April, 2023 .A.D.,
P.S., Nobody can stop those large infantry movements unless you're Jesu;)

I love all your work, Mr. Minchin!!!! You fill my heart with happiness and my mind with things i wish i could say!!!
Love this song and Tim sings it brilliantly.
You've gotta love life ❤
Any chance that Groundhog Day will be coming to Australia?
Insurance... damnit.
Aww, I've been really enjoying these home studio sessions from you. I'll find them in the morning, sit in the sun with a cuppa and listen to your work. It really makes my day. ❤
I hope to see the musical one day, I watch the original film every year.
Stupid adverts...
Had me fooled it would be Howl's Moving Castle!
The many facets of Tim Minchin.
