It’s brilliant. He’s a genius and needs even more recognition. If you live in a world where you might be killed by saying anything about subjective religious things - things went wrong.
The lights are brightened by the arrival of Tim Minchin on stage, his surrealist ( almost Dali) comedy is a refreshing treat beyond the usual trite hors d'oeuvres passed around the audience so keen to laugh. His mindful wanderings are almost ethereal which wildly contradicts his rapid fire multifaceted use of the Australian English language. His subject matter challenges even the brightest of minds.
Came back for comments. I didnt laugh this time either but i also noticed he was not wearing shoes was unnoticed before. Dude clearly has musical talent though.
@@Ahmad-iu8dq I honestly think Tim is someone whose literary work will be quoted long after he's gone (not that he cares about that at all). He is already quoted now. I would love for him to release a book of poetry or something.
🤔 What is the problem with using poetic licence to create words to aid with the rhyming, rhythm, sentiment, intent, mood and meaning of the song? Besides which, you will find nearly all of the words Minchin uses, in a dictionary.
Oh! I think I understand you now. You don't like the way Minchen crudely spelled out the meaning of those religious messages in modern form. Can you dispute anything he said, other than his stray into fantasy (highlighting some Christian's obsession with sexuality) at the end?
He uses his eyes expressively as part of his comedy. He is often being ironic so his eyes help to convey meaning. The eyeliner helps people see his eyes, especially as he has ginger features. Would not be the same without it.
@@PianoDiary85True. But Tim Minchen started on T.V. as an expressive eyed, bemused, fearful alien Goth-like character with his hair dyed black and more mussed up, with thicker make-up. Over the years, Minchin has gradually transitioned to tone that look down, and become more himself on stage. These are the residuals of that character look. But yes, for a purpose. Initially, on his early T.V. performances (The Big Gig), as one of several very quirky returning guests, Tim barely said a word, if any words at all, when addressed. It was all physical performance. His eyes were an important part of the character and comedy. Then he would sit down at the piano and sing with surprising verbal virtuosity, by contrast, with bemusement about the world.
@@daniellamcgee4251 I have not seen this before, I'll have to look it up. He also likes mocking rock cliches, and I think that was part of the reason for his hair and make-up. He also said he struggled to get noticed without it. He actually has really tight curly hair. As soon as he decided to grow his hair long and straighten it and wear eyeliner he started getting noticed because he looked more interesting. That's the industry, I guess. Then it just became a look that people expected - part of his brand.
Lol. Tim is one of the greatest musicians around. He wrote the music to Groundhog Day and Matilda the Musical and won Tonies and Olivier awards - and he also wrote this song 😆. He is also a poet, writer, actor and producer. He is very smart and very talented.
Check this performance out 🙂. Bit of context: this song is about his struggle to enter the music in the 90s when grunge music was popular and everyone wanted to sound like eddie vedder. Tim considers himself super lucky and happy so struggled to fit this genre that was popular with teens. This song is his attempt to evoke his basically non-existent Dark Side. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3xQmJ_vxHB4.html and here he is being normal just playing one of his songs from Groundhog Day ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dep2fW-mGXs.html. There are so many different Tim Minchins.
Tim Minchin initially started on T.V. as a quirky alien Goth-like character, and gradually became more himself on stage, although still performing in character. The mussed up hair and eye make-up are residual elements of his former character. His expressive eyes were/ are highlighted for a reason. Tim doesn't wear eye make-up or tease his hair in his daily life. But I don't see why it would be an issue if he did.
@@dottester3039 Criticising religion doesn't reduce morality. Morality exists regardless of religion. Tim criticises religion where it gets in the way of treating people like equal human beings, or where people hold it too sacred to call out evildoing by leaders of the church - eg In Australia (where Tim is from) our highest priest Cardinal George Pell knew about sexual abuse by one of his fellow priests and did nothing about it because he didn't want bad press for the church. It's right to criticise religion sometimes. Tim also raised a lot of money to help those victims.
