Matt Corby Covers Tina Arena | Chains | Like A Version | Reaction 

I feel like a lot of Aussie musicians are better than others around the world we here regularly. Because if they aren’t better they don’t get any exposure.

So true!

Why are you guys talking like different countries have different kind of quality regarding musicians? We are all people, and perhaps culture change performance but not talent. Ausie talent is neither better nor worse than other countries, cause talent doesnt work that way. Only reason you hear more about american and british musicians is because its a machine churning out artist after artist. And Matt Corby is appreciated all over the world. Not because he is Australian, but because of his raw talent.

@@sirikalvik I won’t speak for others. But I was trying to articulate that USA and UK musicians are played so much around the world and here in Australia and unfortunately a lot of Aussie artists struggle to break into international audiences. So the few that do (like Matt Corby) are often extremely talented.

But Matt is to blame here. He chose to be an anti-big time artist and slink underground. He doesn't seem to want international fame and touring an that stuff

Love Matt! He come second on season 5 of Idol. Brother was huge on all main stations. #3 on ARIA charts and won ARIA song of the year 2012. Resolution was his other song that made its way onto mainstream radio in a big way. Also a great song!

Triple J (JJJ FM)…👍🏼

well said.

Just to put it out there, Matt released 3 EPs (I think it was) independently in the Christian music scene before traveling to London and writing Brother after learning some heavy news about someone he trusted as a musical & spiritual mentor. Their relationship wasn’t repaired for a long time and hence the heaviness in songs like Brother (written about the situation) which literally broke his heart & why he writes to such an extent about his spiritual journey - the highs and lows/ups & downs. You can literally see how well he is mentally in the music he chooses to cover or put out & how he is running to God/community or away from it, denouncing it or openly engaging in its reality. He is a fascinating case study in many ways to see the effects of traumatic experiences and how they push the human psyche to its limits and what holds it all together. I have never been more convinced of anyone’s anointing. I went to one of his rainbow valley tour shows and during the song miracle love, unprompted the entire seated audience stood to their feet and ran to the front like an altar call. I just stood their weeping coz I’ve been praying for him for years knowing and seeing his pain play out and the turn around he has had since having his child is absolutely wild. All that to say, I appreciate these videos! Keep them coming. You should do a reaction to miracle love at Manchester cathedral.

Feel like it’s worth pointing out that this video literally comes from Triple J haha

I've been waiting for someone to suggest her while he seems to be on an Australian phase. After 'grandma's hands' I'd suggest 'Never be' but all her songs are amazing! 😍

Meg Mac yes!!!!!

I second this.

Love Meg Mac, another suggestion I'd make is Vera Blue

Qhh God Meg Mac! Another great

Totally Agree he is a Aussie now

Thank you :)

@@rebbrown72 Thank you so much, now I understand her full message lol. I’ve watched Tina since YTT and today I still think she’s one of our best music treasures and was treated poorly because she was on YTT so she goes overseas where a lot of her family is and blows them all away. Then the Aussies are like we want her back…..I saw her in pubs, in clubs and she fought to where she is today and I finally got a great seat at the opera House And watched her live with the full Sydney Symphony Orchestra I cried. And my gf was taping it and I yelled out “ I love you Tina always! “ & and she laughed ( cos I’m a loud bitch lol) and she said “ I know that voice I love you too” and my gf gave me the tape for my birthday lol. I do it to Marcia Hines as well lol. When I saw her up the coast and her new CD had just come out. My sister had said how me and hubby broke up and after the concert she raced out gave me her CD with a message inside of it. I bawled “ I wrote track 2 for you” gettin teary thinking about it lol. Thanks again for the link. That was sweet of you. 🙏🏻🇦🇺🙏🏻🥰 God Bless!

He was 16yrs old when he was runner up on Australian Idol back in the day.

She did hear it and performed with him on stage at "Splendour in the Grass" in 2019 I think ...

My favourite like a version of all time!

Resolution was the first time I heard Matt. I was transported

Resolution is one of my all time fave songs, it's amazing

Add "Monday" to that list 👌

Lmao

Lmao

Matt doesn’t want to be involved with idol anymore. That’s why he took time off so ppl would forget it. He came 5th someone on here said ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kXOKmp5r10k.html. This was sent to me by a lovely Aussie fan

Thanks brother

Another Aussie (Canadian/Aussie) worth having a listen to - Wendy Matthews
