- Do you have a dark side like Tim? How much does brooding and being edgy really help an artist's career? Interesting questions to consider while listening to this song from Tim! The message is interesting, but what really stood out to me is how talented a piano player he is. When we went on that freestyle run for like 5 minutes, I was absolutely blown away!
Let me know what I can check out next!

There's another version of the song which I love, where he starts the solo and the audience also starts clapping offbeat, and he says: "Everyone starts clapping here, but now I'm gonna play a solo and I can't keep time... so shut the fuck up."
I absolutely LOVE how he just sorta mutters "Oh yeah, you're offbeat. Wicked".
The crowd laughs, but they also STOP CLAPPING. Now THAT'S some powerful crowdwork.
When he made that different voice, at 5:11 and at 11:00, it's a parody of the singer Eddie Vedder, of the grunge band Pearl Jam. He even references it with the line "Jeremy spoken", as the song "Jeremy" by them talks about a real bullied boy that killed his classmates in that era. Grunge rock in general has songs with a lot of emotion in a deep and personal level, so yeah, Tim did that with a clear purpose.
Thank you for that insight, I am not familiar with Pearl Jam (although I have heard of them) so that is very useful context!
@@JustJmax omg, dude, that is your next rabbit hole.....Pearl Jam !!!.......Eddie Vedder is a GOAT !!!!
Yes, except Jeremy shot himself, not his classmates. Was based on the true story of Jeremy Wade Delle.
@@jemxs Oh yeah, my bad, I mixed it up. Still very depressing and dark.
@@HeadCrusherBR all good, wasn't criticising, I get things jumbled all the time 👍
I think iam addicted to tim minchin reaction videos . 😂
That was the end of the show, but he did at least one encore. He's referring to the popularity of the romantic, dark brooding musician trope. He's a happy guy, but he can pretend to have a dark side - to keep his girlfriend, to write music Sony will publish, etc. At the end, he descends into madness and is nearly absorbed by the grim character he plays, but his naturally cheery self triumphs at last.
His Eddie Vedder impersonation had me rolling! I can NEVER understand a thing that guy sings! :-D
No matter how many times I watch this, I’m still blown away by his humungous talent. I suffered through several years of piano lessons as an ankle-biter, but despite encouragement from my parents and teacher (the beatings will continue until performance improves) I never got past the first few bars of Für Elise.
To watch such a virtuoso performance along with someone who appreciates it as much as I do makes it even more enjoyable. And he can sing a bit as well.
Thanks for your great reaction.
Apparently Australian audiences clap on the off beat, it’s a thing 😂 This was a great reaction, yes Tim sticking his finger up to the record industry for their lack of interest in his kind of music as it lacks the depth of, say, Pearl Jam’s Jeremy and other songs that appeal to the “teenage market”! Thanks so much!
Ironically Tim is now with one of the biggest record labels on the planet 😂. Hard luck Sony lmao
To be fair, most of the time we clap off-beat because we think it's funny. When people are doing more complex songs (like this), we usually don't. This time I think the audience just started at the wrong time and carried on.
(Personally, I hate when people clap along at all, but that's me)
Is this sarcasm? The off beat is because of the echo in the hall.
Clapping *on* the off-beat is a normal thing. The way I've always heard it, clapping on 1-3 is the lame way to clap for stuck-up sheltered people and 2-4 is for people who have fun lol. But that's not what this crowd did. Over 16 beats they clapped 15 times. It drifted across beats and was awful.
alot of people clap off beat, it's a thing people do when they don't know alot of music stuff
Ramble away, love your reactions to Tim! This song is amazing especially the piano work. The line 'He is only sleeping' gets me every time 🤣 Oh yes The Pope Song is a must!
Absolute masterpiece! There are even jokes written into the music, the lights are STUNNING and Tim absolutely destroys that poor Yamaha 😭😭😂😂😍😍💜💜💜
I think it is quite amazing that he can keep the audience captivated and listing to see where it is going in his long piano solo. A good quick video of Tims is F# He played this one at the Promes in London
Down the Tim Minchin rabbit hole…. This is one of his best performances ever! ❤ Always so deadpan and dry… hilarious 😂 Seriously though, Tim is an amazing composer, singer, actor and comedian. The ad lib keys in this particular version are beyond fantastic! The ad lib is different in every single performance. His portrayal of Judas in JCSS was phenomenal.
Yeah that guy's really deep...
nice:)
Shit yeah
Yeah, I noticed that...
Deep as bro...
I continue to love watching these with you. You're so thoughtful and so much fun. Keep being awesome.
Whenever I hear Tim go up to those high notes, I'm reminded of Dimash Kudaibergen. Dimash is the most technically proficient singer on the planet. He can make his voice do just about anything. A great intro to Dimash is "S.O.S. d'un terrien en de'tresse." I love his performance in the Chinese reality show "I Am a Singer" (ua-cam.com/video/JEz1qGS0T1Q/v-deo.html), but in his performance at the Slavic Bazaar he's a bit more polished and his French is better. Both are simply beyond words. He has an epic catalog you can dive into while you're at it, as well, to fuel content for the channel.
You should take a look at "not perfect." In many ways it's one of Tim's more unique and thought provoking songs. There is also a performance where Tim and his drummer have a music duel which is hilarious but I can't for the life of me remember which. If I remember I'll post it here, if someone doesn't beat me to it.
The drum off is actually another version of Dark Side. Possibly with the Sidney Symphony Orchestra, not completely sure but it is definitely dark side with an orchestra
@@jackwhitbread4583 it is the Sydney Symphony Orchestra version. For first reactions, I definitely think the awesome version is better, but the SSO version takes it up a level with the full orchestra behind him.
Tim could tickle my ivories any time !!!.....LOL....in a dream, of course.
Tim is a genius! A cross between Voltaire, Beethoven, Shakespeare and Tom Lehrer??
❤
*crowd starts clapping* "Ah, you're off beat. Wicked." *crowd promptly stops clapping*
mitabishi cult is great, he free styles the entire thing each time its amazinbg
Offbeat means clapping on the 2 and the 4 rather than the 1 and the 3. The audience did it by accident because they were lagging behind. It's also referred to as the backbeat. It's where you would expect a snare drum in most rock/pop music.
I just saw the orchestra version of this...was worried I wouldn't like it as much as this version...but its even better.
Check it out
😊
And now you know why they wanted you to specifically play the awesome version 🙂 Glad you enjoyed the improv session.
I recommend a newer Tim song Briggs and he did for Australian quarantine. Housefyre (Lockdown video)
Another Music suggestion. Homefree's Ring of Fire ft Avi Kaplan. Avi is the second of the 3 big American acapella basses - Geoff Castellucci is the third in Voiceplay. Avi was with Pentatonix but left to play his own music and now lives in the Nashville area where Justin and Tim Foust live.
Avi's is a singer-songwriter and his most popular song is Change On the Rise which I recommend you do but he writes a broad range of other music. I just saw him in Denver a few days ago and am very stoked about him and his band. Another good one of his is First Place I Go.
Thanks for the fun reaction as always.
I meeean, this version is great but it's not objectively better. I might prefer the symphony version. Both great versions and it's a bit unfair how this is assumed to be the better one.
@@blossom357 look it's the piano playing on this that got it that name. Nothing "unfair" about it at all. Tim has stated many times that he never plays the piano the same way twice in these comedy bits. Alot of people really consider this one epic.
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra version is just as good because it has the orchestra, you should check it out too,
Come Home should be listened to before The Pope Song, they are a song and it's sequel.
This song was Tim mocking the music industry and the powers that be not believing that there are music lovers out there who would appreciate and pay to listen to his clear talent if he doesn't have dark, broody lyrics to go with it.
Tim has come a long way, he's now signed to one of the biggest record labels in the world so I think it's safe to say Tim had the last laugh. Also can't wait for season 2 of his hit show Upright and the new Matilda musical to hit the big screen
Love your channel. You give very insightful commentary. Subscribe and support this channel! Also, Tim minchin deserves the most exposure
Thank you so much!
Yes....where Tim has written the music...he tends to adlib on stage when he gets his piano talking. This song is actually Tim letting out his frustrations to Sony Music for saying he wasn't deep enough to appeal to the Teenage Market enough to sell his music. Stuff you Sony Music.
If you want to hear a beautiful, serious Christmas song done by Australia's wonderful Atheist, Tim Minchin....try "Dinking White Wine in The Sun" (and yes, Christmas is in Summer in Australia, so it is very hot). ua-cam.com/video/fCNvZqpa-7Q/v-deo.html
i like in 9:44 he spread his legs and start kicking to make the audience clap on beat XD
👌
Tim can't read music despite being an awesome composer. Not that it seems to have held him back in the least. He's composed the music and lyrics to 2 Broadway musicals so it obviously works for him
Same for Vangelis (who recently passed, RIP). Never learned to read music. Worked out fine for him too.
@@vinsgraphics yeah I personally don't think it matters that much if you can or can't read music. Even in the Opera world its frowned upon if you can't read music but it didn't hold Luciano Pavarotti or Mario Lanza back , and in Pavarotti's case his pitch was absolutely perfect and he could spot an out of tune instrument from a mile away and he often did point it out when others failed to notice. If you have perfect pitch or real musicality I don't believe it matters much whether you can read or write music
@@jackwhitbread4583 I can tell you from experience that us mere mortals are greatly set back trying to perform and learn music if you can't read sheet music. luckily for Minchin here, he isn't mortal.
As he is also a well known composer if it was scripted it was scripted by him. This was a dig at Sony records who didn't think he was marketable.
13:16 without context is so funny
Change of pace....but you gotta check out his song "The Abscence of You"
Have you heard I LOVE JESUS?
I don't think I have, I'll have to check that one out

PLUS A BONUS CUSTOM MOVIE OPENING FOR TIM!
Promise people will freak at this- it’s obscure. Like his other intro
Lions gate-ua-cam.com/video/dT4uf_681-c/v-deo.html
As always yet again
You nailed it!!
YES THAT WAS 3:20 of straight piano solo like no one else could do.
What DOESNT get recognized is he is just sitting. Stuck. So it’s body facial, tone and tempo. That’s all he has to keep 10k audience entertained!
Side note- He prefers Yamaha ALWAYS because the keys are faster. A Steinway has more depth of tones. He also almost always sits facing right
Here’s the opening to his show with a full orchestra. This isn’t usually found “ down the rabbit hole” but it’s good. And this is how he opened the show
