Wow! He’s singing about how I sometimes feel now that I’m older. I have never heard of him and thank you for introducing me to his talent and wit. The song is excellent and I want to play it over a few more times to remind me that old or not I should stay involved and make the world a better place.
Tim is highly intelligent and super talented. He wrote the music to Matilda the musical. He started out doing musical comedy but even then it was kind of hard to fit him in that box because a lot of his songs include lessons like this. He is also an actor, writer, poet and director and has an album of more "normal" songs.
You should really go into you tube to Tim Minchin’s channel try it’s not perfect, white wine in the sun, you grew on me, lullaby, thank you god, storm and all the others he is just awesome happy listening ❤
@@ensorceler_x To simply put it, the roof structures of the Opera House are called ‘shells’. Considered as the most difficult part of the construction, Jorn Utzon claimed that the final design of the shells, was inspired by peeling an orange. It is said that the shells of the 14 separate roofs, form a sphere if combined.
This thing makes me tear up every time. For all the evil of which humanity is capable, there is still the unfathomably beauty of the human spirit that makes life worth it.
I'm glad to be one of those crazy Danes with weird ideas like the Danish architect behind the Sidney Opera house, Jørn Utzon (well maybe my ideas aren't as crazy but maybe I'll get there one day 🙂 ).
Hi Nick. As a Sydney sider who sees the Opera House nearly daily, this always brings tears to my eyes. The moment when he adds the little black figurine to the original model which contained all white people is incredibly symbolic in this country as no doubt you’re aware. The Opera House trust chose the right man for this job, I’m sure Tim would have changed heck to the f word if they’d let him though 😂❤ oh PS the design was a global competition and the winning architect was Danish..
@@CraigShifflet yes i think the Opera House trust would have had some guidelines for sure lol but that “heck” he would have loved to change that one if it wasn’t commissioned 😂
@@Dr_KAP He said he wanted to say "How do you explain Fuck Boy Island if the universe wanted you out and about' but they wouldn't let him. Lol. Apparently it's a TV show.
I live in Australia, big Tim Minchin admirer. I do ten pin bowling, and when I have to get up at sparrow fart to go to a comp, I listen to this amazing Ode to the Opera house. I also have family and a son who are in the Arts, so it speaks to me, but mainly it is just inspirational, and so Aussie. Thanks for reacting to this!
I love this song. Funny how emotional i get about a building in a country i've never visited. Love Tim and look forward to everything he creates. Notice the orange peel making the shadow of the opera house? The Aeroplane by Tim is an incredible, emotional song that is recent, as well.
As great as Tim's more comedic work from over a decade ago was, his more recent songs are just brilliant. I'd recommend next either The Aeroplane or I'll Take Lonely Tonight, two of my personal favorites.
@@jemxs she said she likes to joke about it but it's the perfect Tim song, Tim mentioned other women being upset and asking if he wants a medal for not cheating.
Thanks for reacting to this! The irony is so pointed, even at the beginning ... don't be a showoff, go with the flow, don't be a clown ... when all the while they're doing precisely the opposite. That's Tim for ya! Appreciate your take!!
You all should see 'The Ship Song project' from about 15 years ago. Done by the Sydney Opera House covering Nick Cave's 'The Ship Song' it is incredible.
WOW! You dont even know how you nailed this. Please review this REVIEW of the making of TIM MINCHIN 50th Ann song. TYou earned the moment and you should take it. TAKE THAT BOW!- ua-cam.com/video/Izu7bGJn23w/v-deo.htmlsi=uSaA-zuZxu2hAyfm There are a couple more clips if you wish to add to it-- BUT, Massive fan in Portland Oregon- going to Tims 1st show in the USA on AUG 6th and sitting front row. cant wait to see his feet so up close! and you nailed the line- much respect

I wish I was hearing Tim Minchin for the first time. He is a brilliant man

He also starred as Judas in the west end show Jesus Christ superstar
As a fellow Australian 🇦🇺 Tim Minchin is a living legend
I live in Australia.. I have never heard this before. This was so wonderful. Thank you for letting me watch this with you.
The significance of the orange peel at the start was brilliant!
Can you explain this??

I heard Tim in an interview talking about keeping it clean. He said he did slip one in by mispronouncing content.

@@PianoDiary85 oh no way??!! That’s hilarious 🤣
@@Dr_KAP Yes way. This is Tim we're talking about 😅.

I cried when I listened to I'll take lonely tonight for the firts time. Its also Tim's wife favourite.
@susannariera I can certainly understand that. It's sort of the flip side to Tim's more satirical ode to her, If I Didn't Have You.
@@timpwhit she said is the song that better shows Tim's personality, the most honest.
LoL I saw in an interview on ABC, his wife laughing about that song..as if Tim was looking for admiration for not cheating on her!
@@jemxs she said she likes to joke about it but it's the perfect Tim song, Tim mentioned other women being upset and asking if he wants a medal for not cheating.
Great reaction to a brilliant song about such an iconic place.

So many “tribute” songs are terrible. This is spectacular! Gives me chills.
The line you said was fire is also Tim’s favourite in the song 😂
❤
👍thanks for playing this song !
Tim is an amazing man and accomplished in so many different areas.
Btw this is not included with the other Tim Minchin content you have on a playlist.
