He didn't just write the song, he's also a writer of the TV show Upright itself as well as the star. Well worth watching if you get the chance, it's so well written and Tim is a talented actor.
Great reaction. This is sort of my life now. Separated (after 11 years), but living together, and still plan to retire on the plot of land we bought years ago, but in separate dwellings. Living together, but not being together. It's quite bittersweet. xxooxx
Nice to see a bit of Missy Higgins on the channel. She’s a great Aussie songwriter herself. I discovered her music back in 2004 whilst on a working holiday in London. Her song The Special Two always reminds me of that time.
Wow! It was like watching a candle flickering in the core of someone's soul and remembering how I would have once said that about someone I loved in the past while simultaneously resolving that I no longer feel that way about them. This was beautiful! 🩷
As you say this song was written for Upright - a story in which Tim's character is trying to make his way back to Perth to see his sick mother. Tim's mum (who lives in Perth) ended up actually getting sick around that time and passed away a few months ago while he was on tour around Australia. Can't imagine what performing this song every night would have been like for him 💔.
I was in the audience for Tim’s show in Adelaide just after his mother died. At the end of the show he asked the audience to join in the chorus of Hallelujah with him in memory of his mother. Tim turned down the lights and we sang the song in the dark. After the song the lights went up and Tim was in tears. He said “you MFckers you got me” The most beautiful and unifying moment. Love our Tim. ❤❤👏🏻👏🏻
This is a reflection into something every person goes through sooner or later, a loss that you carry forever in your heart. These precious moments we get with someone we love beyond all others must be woven into us safe and deep to be carried with us through our life. Love is the most powerful of all things with it we soar without it we crash. Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘❤❤❤❤🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎵
Beautiful, and 'Upright' is a gorgeous series, if you ever get the chance to see it, I highly recommend it Tim wrote and starred in it, and it is just so 'him'. 😊✌❤
His mother passed away this year and Tim released this four years ago. In “Upright” his character’s mother was dying of cancer, so this song was very poignant when he sang it then.
Beautiful song. If you haven't seen it - would highly recommend 'Play It Safe' also by Tim Minchin for a very recent song of his. Yet another in a long line of songs that it seems only Tim could have written.
Upright is a wonderful TV series. The final song in the 2nd series is called "Aeroplane" and is even more beautiful than this one (didn't think that'd be possible, but...Tim Minchin...). There are a few videos of it on the Tube - "Billie's Song" is my favourite. Would love to see your reaction Charlie. Keep up the great reactions.
I have 5 adult children (aged 40 - 26) and only get contact with my youngest occasionally ... This song sings my heart pain ... KILLS ME every word ... every single note! 💗 And reflected in your eyes is all my love and my lies, is all my promise and my pride, is all fear and all my fight, is all my dread and my denial ... and though we cannot be together I know that I will carry you wherever I go! (Like I did for the first 9 months of each of your existences) 💞💕💕💕💕
Tim wrote possibly one of the greatest love songs. It's funny, but so damn beautiful at the same time. It's called "You Grew On Me". The final line he refers to a mole - dunno about the UK but here in Aus it's a derogatory term meaning a prostitute or someone with zero morals. His double meaning lyrics throughout the song are nothing but pure genius.
NOW Do the pair from the show: ruclips.net/video/VCYzau2xato/видео.html SHE IS 12YO !!!!!! (and did it as 9yo in the show) Apart from her stunning ability this song kills too!!!!
I hope one day you get to see the show!!! Tim WROTE it - the show - it's called "Upright" (ABC Australia) and it is the truest take on Australia & Australians I have ever seen!
Beautiful. Missy Higgins was definitely the right choice for this song.
Missy is so seriously under rated.
Tim wrote this in memoriam of a good friend of his who passed away.
He didn't just write the song, he's also a writer of the TV show Upright itself as well as the star. Well worth watching if you get the chance, it's so well written and Tim is a talented actor.
Tim's a master tunesmith, and I love that Missy sings with an unabashed Aussie accent.
The stunning vocals of Missy Higgins with the equally stunning piano playing of Tim Minchin. Great combination. 🎉🎉
Agh our Missy Higgins, another deep, unique and insightful song writer too! Wow, this is a great new version! Thanks! 🙋♥️
Tim Minchin is such a star. A wonderful composer. And missy Higgins, such an interpretive singer. A gourgeous thing.
Cottesloe is a beautiful beach near Perth, Western Australia, where Tim grew up.
Tim is incredibly deep. Much deeper than a lot of people give him credit for. even his comedy stuff can be quite deep, just in a twisted way.
This is one of my all time favourite songs. Tim's ability to blend heart felt lyrics with beautiful music is truly mesmerising.
Great reaction. This is sort of my life now. Separated (after 11 years), but living together, and still plan to retire on the plot of land we bought years ago, but in separate dwellings. Living together, but not being together. It's quite bittersweet. xxooxx

Cottesloe is a beach suburb in Western Australia and we have the sun setting over the ocean.

Bawling my eyes out. Beautiful.
Both outstanding Aussie performers...a stellar song from Tim and beautifully performed by Missy.
This is beautiful, I wonder if he wrote this after his mother passed away ….
His mother passed away this year and Tim released this four years ago. In “Upright” his character’s mother was dying of cancer, so this song was very poignant when he sang it then.
Before, but he sing it at her funeral.
My goodness, what a stunning song.
That was mesmerizing
Beautiful song!

So beautiful .🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🌹🌹

I highly recommend The Aeroplane featuring Asmara Feik with Tim which is also from Upright. Beautiful song.
OH LORD! If you thought "Not Perfect" was cry factor 100% ........... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I have 5 adult children (aged 40 - 26) and only get contact with my youngest occasionally ...

Agree, this is my favourite from TM
Absolutely adore Tim but have never appreciated Missy. The song is beautiful but would much rather a different vocalist for this one
I really love her voice but I know where you're coming from. There are a bunch of other artists I would LOVE to hear sing this
Tim hasnt written a funny song since 2009. The comedy made the money to give him the freedom to write seriously
