To the ones who say, "I didn't know he could sing?" You're not being serious, are you? When Tim sings some of his songs like Carry You, I Can't Save You, Apart Together, I'll Take Lonely Tonight, Absence of You just to name more than a few you will see he can not only sing, his lyrics and music touch your inner being, your mind, heart, body, and soul. Tim is a creative genius who makes you want to be a songwriter, poet, novelist, singer, musician, dancer, or anything else you want or did want to be.
This song was written by Charlie Rich, a Jewish-american who converted to Catholicism when he was depressed. Strange but true. Love Tim Minchin's version, as an atheist myself. Beautiful.
i am very proud of being atheist but i'll admit any spiritual song, that isn't a worship song, always makes me feel so at peace with everything i think people of all religions (or non religions) should be able to enjoy this music
This was written by the late Charlie Rich who came to Sun Records in Memphis soon after Elvis left. Charlie struggled for success until 1973. He was a master of too many genres and was a blues, jazz, soul, Gospel, pop, Rockabilly and country master. He wrote many great songs. Probably his greatest song was this and his demo version is the greatest version. In 1973 they hung a label on Charlie as a country singer. And he became best known (not for his greatest songs and performances) justt for some OK country songs written by others. To check him out, look on UA-cam for his album "Feel Like Going Home: Essential Charlie Rich." You will hear his song "Who Will the Next Fool Be?" Even more great performances follow thereafter.
Though I love his humor, I prefer Tim when he's serious. He's got so much to offer, and there is so much pain all around, I feel we're missing out on something when he sticks to comedy. That is the first reason this is probably my favorite performance of his. The second is less cheerful. This song gets to me because I feel this way myself most of the time. However, I no longer have any home. Everyone in my family is dead - no parents, siblings, wife, kids, uncles, aunts. No one. And even though I'm not especially poor or in need of any material goods, I've got nowhere on Earth I can call home. To me, "home" is death. That's all that's left.
Lorraine Hepburn what do you mean "never knew he could sing". It's what he does. Among other things, he's a musical comedian and the vast majority of his performances involve singing.

So is God and what a shame that Minchin rejects so vociferously the One who gifted him with such talent. Wonder how clever he'll be when he stands before his Creator to give an account of himself. At that precise moment he'll realize how very wrong he was. I hope before that time he comes to know the real Jesus...not the one he mocks.
To say it came from "some American dude" without giving due respect and homage to the composer singer and brilliant pianist who wrote this amazing song. the late great Charlie Rich. You couldn't even begin to lace his boots. Hope you paid your dues to the Performing Rights Society
Minchin... That "American dude" is Charlie Rich and you shouldn't let his name spill out of your mouth until you've researched him. And your performance pales in comparison.
it’s funny how you addressed him personally, “Minchin...”, like he’d scroll through the abomination that is youtube comment sections, and this performance shines so fuck off back to the american dude.

With a reassuring "It'll be fine", proceeds to give us the most beautiful, heart-shattering rendition of a spiritual song that has ever been sung.❤

Proud of being Atheist, mm , my friend you don’t understand what Jesus is about , he loves everyone ,he took the sword from my hand , 🙏x

@@kanesanders6669 I've seen him do musical comedy but nothing like this.
Minchin is better than religion, because he's real.
So is God and what a shame that Minchin rejects so vociferously the One who gifted him with such talent. Wonder how clever he'll be when he stands before his Creator to give an account of himself.

God made him real
Notting Hill and Charlie Rich are way better versions

i feel opposite of this song. i want more punchlines lol

oh fuck off, mate.
If you researched Mr Minchin, you'd realise he's a comedian, and he probably knows more about "some American dude" than you appear to have concluded.
it’s funny how you addressed him personally, “Minchin...”, like he’d scroll through the abomination that is youtube comment sections, and this performance shines so fuck off back to the american dude.
As an American I can assure you that this is an awesome performance. Even if it is basically a gospel song.... It has a lot of meaning.
"Don't let his name spill out of your mouth"?.....he literally didn't say his name. Idiot
Ordinary vocal and piano. Doesn’t compare with Brendan Cromer or Sir Tom.
Agree,,,Second comment ,,, GREAT song n ,Te amo ,,C
