Tim Minchin - Dark Side (Reaction!) : Behind the Curve Reacts

[@trevorcoultart]

Seen quite a few reactions to this and pretty sure you're the first person to call out the "Oh, yeah, off beat, wicked" line - which is one of my favourite bits.

[@leelee2350]

I love watching your face while you watch this, I can tell you are a joyous person, go you. Tim is just brilliant.

[@AndyB80808]

Thank you for your reaction It was great, not many people get the references he makes, really enjoyed this 👍

[@zoebell7601]

I love how you talk about individual points of the performance and analyse it from a more musical perspective too. I am a moron when it comes to that stuff so I really appreciate it!

[@ManlyStump]

I love on the original Dark Side live album, right before the solo Tim says: "Everyone starts clapping there, but then I'm gonna play a solo and I can't keep time - so shut the f*** up!"

[@steviegreenthumb4720]

The OG og 😂😂😂

[@AndrewCBateman]

Wait til you see his songs WITH a full orchestra! Look up his concert at the Royal Albert Hall. It's several hours and includes a lot of the same songs you already have watched, and it's AMAZING.

[@BrittanySmith-nm3yl]

Loved this reaction! I love this song, it definitely shows his genius on the piano and his energy. Tim does indeed have a dark side, if you listen to his newer album. He released an album called "Apart Together" last year. Some of the songs on the album are so sad and real, and honest. The album really floored me. As a fan of his, I highly recommend listening to the album to hear how different his music is compared to his comedy. So incredibly talented. Thank you so much for the reaction!

[@qwertyTRiG]

"Apart Together" is stunning.

[@Emilaria]

That album is so good

[@andrewcarter3419]

I'm loving all the Tim lately!

[@MariuszWelna]

"I can't think of any other creatures around Who are forced to share their name with a sin There's a pride of lions, sure But that's a collective noun They don't have a "greed" or a "lust" at the Singapore Zoo" -Tim Minchin "The lament of the three toed sloth"

[@qwertyTRiG]

My favourite from his seven deadly sins was "balsa wood and glue".

[@MariuszWelna]

@@qwertyTRiG Mine are Sloth and Lust, but I love all of them. It's weird they are not popular at all

[@qwertyTRiG]

@@MariuszWelna I can't actually think of all of them. Must try to track down the entire collection. They were done for some comedy radio show, weren't they?

[@MariuszWelna]

@@qwertyTRiGthe show was called "Mark Watson makes the world substantialy better" The songs were: "Neighbour's ass" "Lust" "Sloth" "Balsa wood and glue"

[@qwertyTRiG]

@@MariuszWelna Ah, so there were only four, not seven. I do know them all, then.

[@sonjalynnnelson7487]

Oh yeah, Every time I hear this song and he starts speeding up on his way down I let out an involuntary “Ooo!!”

[@BladeCPL]

You should watch and/or review the "Rock and Roll Nerd" documentary about Tim. It is brilliant and also very moving in places. The last time I checked it was here on YT. It shows his humble beginnings of having no money and playing in empty bars to the start of his success with his wife by his side.

[@deanwimbridge9318]

He’s brilliant 👏

[@markparker4536]

Would love to see your reaction to lullaby

[@dannyallen2894]

Yes

[@thebigeasy87]

Great suggestion

[@MartinArscott1]

me too, funniest song EVER!!!

[@partially_discombobulated9818]

I LOVE the fact that you are the only reactor that seemed to get the Eddie Vedder reference ❤😂

[@MyPaddy2011]

Fabulous, thorough review.👍😂

[@HermanVonPetri]

I've gotten hooked on your reactions recently since I found you through these Tim Minchin songs. He's one of my favorite artists and it's been great listening to your thoughts. Subbed. I also never really liked grunge much either, having been in high school during that period. My real first name is "Jeremy" so you can imagine how annoyed I got at the constant references to that Pearl Jam song.

[@thebigeasy87]

Love that you called the pearl jam early

[@Sintakhra]

His piano parts really gets me nostalgic for his opening of the Comedy Proms

[@therealdutchidiot]

Why is it the first time I saw the toe hit a high note on a reaction video first instead of on the "Ready for this" DVD?

[@fairwayray]

Tim is great!

[@griffbloodax1005]

Great reaction, this is one of my absolute fav Minchin tracks. If you haven't done it yet, you should give 'If I Didn't Have You' a go - it ruined love songs for my wife forever xD

[@jemxs]

Out of all the reactors that have done this song you are the only one to pic the Eddie Vedder impersonation so early. Some never get it! Btw my name is Jeremy so have always had an affinity with that song..and yes even though the subject is dark.

[@crazyratlady3026]

I just love how he brilliantly trolls EVERY other pop-artist Lol

[@mr.tskywalker8321]

you should do 'Thank you god' and 'the pope song'

[@rocketfishstudios-facebook4758]

Brilliance!!!!!!!!!!

[@methodkid93]

14:00 that's the sound of a satisfied audience

[@KingVasuki]

But the question is: are they saying "yeah, that guy is really deep... shit, yeah"?

[@Mewvision]

That has to be in New Zealand. The “deep as bro’ “ comment.

[@joeb588]

You should listen to Not Perfect and White Wine in the Sun for his best serious songs. But Thank You God might be the best overall.

[@BastiXIII]

Fur elise got blues-ed

[@carolinejanssen9034]

He self taught as well he is so smart. I’m proud his back home in Australia. He made it everywhere but the US I think. Cardinal pell is a good song about a pope that covered up wrong actions and now in jail. He wouldn’t come back foe trail. The Vatican didn’t appreciate the song but it’s true the Catholic Church covered it up.

[@scubamandan]

Would love to see a Tim Minchin / Tenacious D mash up.

[@crazyratlady3026]

Throw Weird Al in there too

[@eugenegrewing2587]

C sharp minor if you don’t know in my opinion is the most difficult key. It has all the sharps and all the flats.

[@tesseract5421]

That's not true. It has 4 sharps

[@qwertyTRiG]

I'm not sure how the piano solo was as funny as it was. Another song in which he's musically funny is "F Sharp".

[@amandas.6500]

4:44 Eddie Vedder or Cher?

[@behindthecurvereacts]

😂😂

[@thememeslinger7506]

Yes

[@andyb1653]

This song is silly and serious at the same time. There's no way in hell you can play a piano like THAT if there isn't something genuine, some REAL emotions, behind it. Even if it's presented as a joke. And it IS a joke. But it also isn't.

[@mollyhateshate]

YAS, THANK YOU ♥️ Maade my day
