One of my favorite live performance ever.
It's absolutely brutal. When you know what the song is about.... and the terrible thing he did, it's absolutely heart-wrenching. You can feel, hear, AND literally see the genuine pain he's experiencing when singing this song and reliving the awful way he betrayed his "brother".
100% agree. I have genuinely lost count of how many times I have watched it and still get choked up by the raw emotion he shows at the end. Just incredible, incredible talent
reminds me of Elvis Presley at his final performance. Leaving everything on stage. ruclips.net/video/4svkR46CesI/видео.html
the Matt Corby - Brother (BalconyTV) version is even better fully raw
Same here brother....fucking old school Sia dropped my jaw too. And I ain't even Australian
Everyone who comes to Australia all agree Australia has crazy talented artists and groups but trying to break overseas is extremely difficult unless they are willing to move to America or UK. American record companies don't want to sign Aussie artists because they are so diverse and can't be labelled as a single genre. At least Aussie artists get the love they deserve by Australian audiences and by reactors like this.
I agree, we have some of the most talented and most beautifully unique artists here
the mainstream is coming around to aussies artists, but the issue is the industry isn't really about music anymore, its about pushing a product its pure business . Alot of aussies feel uncomfortable with being an actor in Hollywood, navigating through the music industry. its the reality of the situation and why alot of australian artist stop at the door
Hundred percent… From NZ lived in oz for 6.5 years and i still think oz music is another level of amazing. Specially them buskers.
Tash sultana, sticky fingers and this guy being my top 3
1 man, 1 guitar, It really cannot get better than that.
He's criminally unrecognised, he should be someone any music lover knows of. There are two other performances I can think of he did on the same radio show here in Aus: a cover of The Black Keys' "Lonely Boy" and TLC's "No Scrubs". Then his performances on his Resolution Tour are great too, with "Trick Of The Light" and "Song For Interlude" being my faves, with those two you'll get to see him with his band, they have a very cool vibe.
I agree 100%. He’s so incredible and undervalued, even here in Australia. He’s amazing.
Insanely under appreciated and unknown. I agree completely.
Incredible performance which clearly comes from alot of pain. For anyone unaware, the song is about an incident between him and a friend. He had slept with his friends girlfriend and couldn't handle the guilt and pain he caused. Obviously what he did was truly horrendous but him using the pain is just mesmerising. Especially that final 90 second flurry where he seemingly let's all the anguish take him.
The sound he makes in the beginning is similar to the call a bird makes here in QLD, Australia that we nicknamed the storm bird. It makes that call generally a few days before a massive storm comes; which seems appropriate for the song.
That build up into him going crazy UGHHH it is so so so good
The mixing around in a Yodel and transitioning around the different voices are super unique and I can't comprehend how easy it sounds for him. He's sitting in the pocket of something that takes effort.
Matt and guy sebastian are the two standout singers in world music currently in my mind today. Both amazing range and diverse styles.
Thanks for reacting to this Bethany. Really glad you got around to this track. It was what launched him at least here in Australia.
For me it would be hard to go past his performance of "Song for Interlude" - Live on the Resolution Tour if you are looking for another example of the breadth of his musicianship.
💯
He's so amazing. Soooo much dynamics, solid guitar, great song writing and a good voice. He has a live video of him looping with just his voice that I thought was amazing too, I think it's called Monday.
Monday at Paste Studios.
This song is full to overflowing with emotion.. it catches me in my throat everytime ❤
One man, a guitar and absurd talent….outstanding!
I first heard Matt Corby from Kygo, when he started his career making remixes. It's actually one of his best ones.
Have been privileged enough to see him live. Just phenomenal and this is my favourite version of this track. He is a chronically underexposed musical genius 🤩
@@ScottBateI’m kinda glad he didn’t tbh, most other winners haven’t had the stellar careers over here that were anticipated, with the exception of a few.. Matt chose his own route with his own label and is recording his own music the way it was intended to sound, with no input from industry hangers-on. And I for one am eternally grateful he decided to do it his way. A truly independent artist producing top quality independent music with a bunch of brilliant musicians. Massive respect 🙌🏻👊🏻💕
Thank you for doing this. This song is one of the most emotional, profound, and captivating songs I've ever heard. It moves me deeply...it was shared with me by someone who I loved very much, that ended up taking his life.
This song reminds me of him always.
I remember sitting in my car listening to this live on the radio. Ended up starting as I pulled up to my destination and just had to sit and listen in awe
I remember hearing it for the first time on the afternoon drive show driving home and was 100% blown away....
This is one of my all time favourite songs. The emotion just pours out and washes over you and towards the end I feel like you can hear agitation in his music as he speeds up . He's such a phenomenal talent
Aussie legend that unfortunately hasn’t reached the heights his ability deserves
It’s because of people like some in these comments being afraid to embrace musicians that push the boundaries. I’m glad they weren’t around when Elvis or the Beatles started out.. what would they have said then?
@@Dr_KAP yeah imagine that we would still be listening to Mozart or some renaissance artist
It's just his style of music isn't very mainstream. I loved his original ep, but using first full length album was just not enjoyable to me at all.
Love the song, very intense near the end... Beautifully sang
Great video - Matt is an incredible talent. Really gives me chills that performance. And thanks for the fabulous breakdown too!
If you want to see how talenred and versatile Matt Corby is have a look at Trick of The Light.
best song
The performance you listened to is called Like A Version which is hosted by Triple J, a radio station here in Australia. The artists perform one of their own songs, and also a cover of another artists song. You should check out some more Like A Version songs, there are some awesome ones! Us Aussies sometimes get a bit forgotten about but there is some great musical talent here
Corby has an amazing voice. He was on Australian Idol years ago
Love your reaction - good technical analysis without missing the emotional impact of the song 👏
Totally forgotten about this performance, amazing vocalist. Glad that you reacted to it so that i got re-experience it! ^^
Been waiting for this! He's brilliant and this is a masterclass. Enjoyed hearing your take. Thanks.
Another great vocalist from Australia. Matt is so unique and very soulful.
Favourite vocal reactor + favourite artist = beautiful day ❤
Same. Loved this so much!
Great reaction! I’m always biased when I watch your Australian artist reactions. It was a joy! Also, very interesting when you highlighted the movement between falsetto and chest voice because for me, I didn’t really know what chest voice was until it was highlighted here!
Matt is like a vocal coach's wet dream. He is so good and versatile and can do anything with ease and technique. I cannot believe his music doesnt resonate with more people. Or they just never heard it. Its almost like Australian Jacob Collier, he's a musical savant. Extremely gifted in musical theory and ability and artistic vision. Yet we all know who Jacob is.
@BethanyHickman watching you react to @MattCorby was like being at one of his concerts and watching all the women slowly fall in love with him and his voice…😊😂
When you used the word primal at the beginning of your reaction, I thought, "Oh God, you ain't heard nothing yet" when it comes to primal. Matt is an outstanding, lyricist, songwriter, performer, musician and all round star. We have been blessed in Australia to have him and so many other truly uniquely talented performers that the world has missed out on. Check out more of Matt and also Tash Sultana, an Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with "Jungle" (live bedroom recording).
Song For Interlude (Live on the Resolution Tour) is one of my personal favs. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves here in Oz. He's definitely earned it, but a middle finger to the industry pigs following Australian Idol has "you'll never make it in this town" written all over it. Good on him
Cant believe you did this one,my first night watching you.
And soo much connect,my old friends sister knew this guy from church and a very important song to this guy a friend and he fell out used to listen to this one when i was at one of my lowest times.
Hello. I love you and your reactions. You really make my day. God bless
love this song
Your eyes and facial expressions tells us how good this song is, you can tell how much you struggle to stop listening so you could comment on his performance. Beautiful song and a wonderful reaction thank you.❤
Water and Wine - Daytrotter session is my all time favorite Matt Corby performance so far.
He’s the ultimate all rounder, insane singer and he can handle a guitar
Miracle Love @ Manchester Cathedral is amazing as well! Awesome vid. Matt is amazing!
The song is great. Greatly interpreted by Matt Corby. His words are as if taken from a true story.
He wrote it, it is a true story. He slept with a good friends girlfriend.
@@stambo1983 Thank you for your additional explanation.
No “interpretation”. His song, his story
@@UOTDF that's why waybee sings it so sincerely
Pretty sure at about 8:30 when he let out his first growl Bethany fell in love. :D
It's funny you say you could listen to this many times as there is so much to hear. I've not only listened to it at least 75 times, I've watched every reaction video (as I'm sure others commenting here have) numerous times as there is nothing reactions to the last stanza of the song when he goes full raw emotion. Even the most avid video pauser cannot bear to pause that last section.
Try Matt Corby Resolution Live at the Enmore. It's pretty awesome. He has a lot of amazing original work.
This isn't even music any more...This is art
💯
You have to react to more Matt. He is the most singular vocalist on the planet in my opinion. He can do it all. Please check out; Monday, Made of Stone, Miracle Love, you really cannot go wrong. His gift deserves to be shared. 25k views, I hope some of them have never heard of Matt before and are now experts in his discography. His voice is a gift everyone should enjoy. Why isn't he top 40 on the radio? Thank you for sharing his voice with us all.
Thanks for your analysis of “Brother” I just loved your thoughts. I have to let you know that Matt is a “Live” player, and by that I mean there is so much more to him playing live over studio renditions. It almost seems like they are done as a contractual obligation. Matt really is his own man and described as the “Reluctant Superstar”. A brilliant track you must see is just him solo at Paste studios producing live while looping. The track is just called “Monday”, its just stunning.
Very VERY unique!! If I had to attempt to describe him to someone I would say if Dave Matthew had a son who took great notes or guidance and took it to the next level with just an acoustic. Very Nice! Thanks Bethany and all who recommended!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
One our great Aussie artists.....Matt has toured the US a few time and has a big following over there. But like a lot of Aussie artists the world is too far away lol. Appreciate your reaction and analysis ....love from Australia
One of the greats in the making ❤❤
Been a fan since idol, I'm sure he's done well for himself. He's stayed true to himself puts out what he wants. Super talented
This man is referred to as “The Reluctant Superstar” he really is the complete package, scary good.
NZer here. Love this guy's voice. This song takes you into the mystic
I would truly love to see you react to his live performance of trick of the light.
Like a Version, Sense by Wolf Alice also good. Can’t think of a vocal reaction channel that has done them. Loving this channel💙
Stunning performance
Matt is amazing with so many hits, Lonely Boy, Miracle Love, Made of Stone, Belly side up, to name a few...I'm sure you will enjoy more of what Matt has to offer
The way he sings the intro reminds me of how Aussie say "coo-ee"
I think it's a whip bird morning call
OMG! I have not heard this song in a long time and have never seen this live version. Totally amazing singer and musician. Is he still recording as not heard from him in a while?
This is the only performance of any song, live or recording, that makes me tear up.
He's a world class talent
Vocal chords from heaven
Nothing else matters ,metallica.
I like to see your reaction on it .
Your doing great 👍🏻
Thanks for appreciating a fellow australian.
I love this song its peuteful song
Oliver Anthony - Richmen North of Richmond 🙏
Love and respect from New Zealand 🇳🇿
...not to mention his beautiful guitar work
For those wondering, the reason the emotion in this performance is so real.... is because it *IS* real. Unfortunately the true story behind the lyrics doesn't paint him in a very good light.
He slept with his friend's girlfriend. That's why he's "fucked up by the blame". The "brother" in this song is not his literal brother, but his close friend. He betrayed his friend in the worst way anyone could possibly betray their "brother".
The emotion is raw as hell. As terrible as the story is, I think it makes this performance even more powerful, when you know the context and meaning. 😢😢
You got a source to back up this story?
@@ilikefuntoohe’s said it in a few interviews, can be found on RUclips but yeah that’s what he’s said
I have a lot less respect for him now. I know this is the reality of the situation and there's nothing he can do about it.
To think that he found fame from this single because of how he felt, even though he wasn't the victim, and he profited off it. It makes me a bit sick for his friend.
@Garbowhat honestly if this was the worst we had seen from someone famous... the world would be a lot better place. Remember let he without sin cast the first stone. I am not religious but it does apply here. People are too judge for non crimes.
@Garbowhat I had to come back past to reply to you. I kind of agree but also not at all. I.agone being so full of shame and self hatred for what you did that you make a song about it that is such a chart topper (here in aus anyway) that you have to repeatedly sing it. You have to live that all over again every time. I personally think that takes a special kind of man.
The Triple J like a version have some BRILLIANT live versions of some songs. Aurora does some excellent stuff with them. Great for some nice quality live music.
Please do “St Paul and the broken bonzes” I’ve been loving you
Miracle Love (live in manchester) its a Gem too
The craziest thing about Matt is he perfect live
Would love to hear your breakdown of "face down" by red jumpsuit apparatus.
Ol corby he's pretty good glad you liked it.
@TheVocalyst The story behind the song: When asked by a Triple J radio station to describe the meaning behind this song, Corby replied: "It came from a little sort of quarrel I had with a really close friend this year. It's a pretty dark time for me, I think I really just wasn't being myself. Me and one of my really good mates fell out, and it was because of something really stupid I did." The friend was like a brother to him. I came back to add, Matt has other releases of this song - one in particular, available on this platform where he's playing outside in a garden. Passionate, beautiful, also incredible.
Matt is from Cronulla, a beach side suburb of Sydney, Australia. He's a GEM!
Man he has those eyes like elvis wow ❤
Miracle love live is his best vocal performance in my opinion, but regardless, he's a true gem!
Wow yeah.
This is from Like a Version. Live on Australian radio each week. An artist does an original and a cover. Take a look at Denzel Curry's cover of Bulls on Parade. Ridiculous energy!!
If this performance doesn’t touch you somewhere special, you are not human.
Matt Corby - Trick of the Light (Live on The Resolution Tour) is must for you to critique, but mainly to just enjoy the ride.
Hello! I always watch your satisfying reactions to my fellow filipino artist and it really made me more proud as a filipino being recognized by great artist and vocal coach like you.. please please please please 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 make a video reaction to gigi de lana's fly me to the moon.. please please please ☺️☺️☺️ THANK YOU!
please view "better then that" you will be blown away by Matt. it's live at the Fonda, I think it was 2023
Agree
I recommend you give The Cranberries a listen! Dreams or Linger would be a great start! Dolores had wings in every note she sang! Blessings!
She has done zombie
@@bradyhudgson7749 sweet!
Thank you💙 have you reacted to any Sleep token?
Would you do a critique on “ To my best friend “ by Merc & The Semiautos.
A brilliant song with such a deep emotional voice .
You should listen to ''Monday'' his vocal control is insane.
I would love one of these on Black Francis of the Pixies I think his voice is insane and insanely overlooked. I know she gets a lot of request but I got some arguments to settle. Debaser!
Please check out some of this stuff:
Improver&Taras Stanin - Faded (beatbox cover)
Improver - Feeling good
Improver - Breathe
I bet you'd love it 🤩
For real live at karma studios. Amazing ending
Love stumbling across your channel. Do you take suggestions? I'd love to hear your reaction to First Aid Kit's song Emmylou. Or Christopher Cross maybe Sailing or Arthur.
deep brother
Please do the band called 10 Years- Lead singer Jesse Hasek. You will not be disappointed. He has a beautiful voice! Ten Years- Through the Iris (acoustic) is one example.
Do you have a reaction to Matt doing chains ? I can't find it
Leading from this i recommend you look into Tash Saltana another incredible aussie artist that will blow your mind.
If you haven't already, please do a video on Manchester Orchestra. Please.
Check out Heart of Stone (Studio 101 version). Simple put, he is a musical genius.
This was his first time performing this song and was under sooooo much pressure
Love you loved this. If youve got a min guy sebastian doing an ldru cover from like a version will be amazing too
Where’s the chains reactions by Matt? Can’t find it
Chains reaction??? I can't find it
