Matt Corby - Brother (Live for Like A Version) | Vocalist From The UK Reacts

[@markymark3052]

The song was written after he betrayed his best friend “brother” by sleeping with his girl. It’s about the loss of the friendship. He touches on the subject briefly before the performance, if you can find a longer version of this video he talks about it.

[@Dr_KAP]

I mean he’s never confirmed that but that is our best guess based on the comments he’s provided. All we know is that he did something messed up to a good mate of his- when he was 16. He didn’t lose the friendship though.

[@Dr_KAP]

@@Flashblackyc4 as far as I’m aware he’s not confirmed it, only that he betrayed a mate when he was 16. Are you able to provide a direct quote or link?

[@Dr_KAP]

@@Flashblackyc4 yes I think it’s kinda been implied but not really explicitly stated - you may have inside info but I’m referring to public statements. Anyway it isn’t that important, he was a kid and everyone makes mistakes at that age. All the best x

You would love his Like a Version “Chains”Tina Arena cover. Incredible❣️

[@mikelombard21]

Matt Corby "Chains" is so special. Please take this advice and check it out. Truly amazing.

[@annashort4409]

💯 incredible!

[@lindylufromoz5111]

So far, you've loved a lot of great Aussie singers: John Farnham, Guy Sebastian, Matt Corby, and I adore that you do, so now it's time to do some more Aussie greats like Tina Arena, Jess Mauboy, Vanessa Amorosi and of course our darling Sia. They're chilling too. Oh wait... do Kasey Chambers covering Eminem's Lose Yourself. How could I forget that one. It'll blow your fucken socks off! Have fun! xx Linda

[@carolcarol3938]

Matt Corby is an Australian treasure.

[@watfordman4639]

the other must watch with matt corby is trick of the light in which he skats, beat boxers and loops, all with a live band amazing

[@auzziePRlDE]

Oh Charlie I am so glad you get to hear this masterpiece. I play it over and over. EPIC

[@deborhaseeley6642]

Love love Matt Corby. Amazing singer.❤

[@impishmiss]

Charlie you have to watch him do "Chains", phenomenal!!

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

A unique talent, brilliant singer and songwriter. Another Aussie rabbit hole. One of my favourite singers of all time.

[@kazwilson425]

He got the idea for the opening sound from listening to our local birds, currawong or magpie I think.

[@debmccudden242]

I think it's the whipbird

[@soundzrinmygarden3833]

I also like how the sound comes out of his jaw. How good is he to be able to do that, bloody amazing singer.

[@jazzamac3796]

Kasey chambers - rendition of eminems lose yourself is pretty mind blowing

[@barbarahoad1450]

Please also check out pinned next like a version at the end there - Lonely Boy from the Black Keys that Matt does a fantastic job of.

[@nikkil2580]

Thought you'd like this Charlie. Matt is kind of the Aussie Ren (or, more accurately, Ren is like the British Matt 😜). Matt loves contrast and to BUILD. It's emotionally draining to listen to sometimes because you get so invested and don't realise it until the song's over. This guy is a genius and always watch him live. He plays, writes, arranges and produces everything. I saw him live last month and he's still magical. Great reaction Charlie and hope you're well ❤

[@drunkpaulocosta]

I was lucky enough to be a regular Patron at the cove after Matt left idol. He was basically the house band. Its one of my fave memories was the few times I got to see him live before he blew up

[@melanieslack8645]

I learnt the other day that when he say “you”, he means himself. Made a lot more sense to me after that.

[@AlisonReacts]

I am so stoked you’re seeing this ❤

[@AlisonReacts]

Watching people react to this, were my first reaction videos I ever watched so it’s awesome to see you appreciate it!

[@scottwatson9453]

Yet you knew it was about "Blame " and guilt from your initial analysis without actually knowing what the words meant. ..I loved your reaction to this absolutely legendary performance! Another hidden Ozzie Gem is "Missy Higgins" doing "You're heart's a mess" in the same studio ( Triple J) it's absolutely stunning .

[@jemxs]

Great performance and reaction. I live Trick of the Light from his Resolution tour. Amazing!

[@JennieSaunders-py8bk]

Made of Stone by Matt is stunning.

[@squeaky1374]

💯!!

[@JohnSmith-sj2dk]

Great review of a great artist.

[@natalieharris1696]

Strap yourselves in, everyone!

[@annashort4409]

Such a masterpiece.

[@JontyBlue67]

Great reaction, love this song, especially this live version.

[@kiwibronnie]

If you want to see another real raw, heartfelt, emotional Aussie singer at her best then you have to watch Kasey Chambers doing her own version of Enimens "Loose Yourself" live. It is insanely good, she's magnificent. Our sweet little country singer Kasey does a master class of pure emotion.

[@Flashblackyc4]

Don’t worry, it’s very hard catching some Matt Corby lyrics because of the way he phrases lyrics and closes his mouth.

[@julzhunt7790]

Aussie music ROCKS😊❤️🇦🇺👍🏼

[@lukelynch5611]

There’s nothing better than a person who admits they can’t interpret lyrics…… and reviews music haha.

[@deanwimbridge9318]

If you started from the beginning he tells us what it’s about 👍

[@Dr_KAP]

Hi Charlie. I believe this calling sound may have been influenced by the time Matt spent in outback Australia - he has a strong interest in indigenous music and sounds, which often derive from sounds in nature. As for the lyrics all we know is that Matt did something “really stupid” to a friend when he was 16 and he experienced a lot of shame and guilt afterwards. Many have interpreted this as cheating in the sexual sense of the word, but this is just conjecture. Possibly did happen but not confirmed.

[@Reneesillycar74]

That calling sound also reminds me of the “coooeee” we used to use on our property to find each other while moving stock. Although Matt’s sounds a lot better 😂✌🏼

[@Dr_KAP]

@@Reneesillycar74 yes indeed and cooee is from the Aboriginal Dharug language (Sydney area).

[@blairdenholm4167]

You gotta bleed a little while you sing - Ian Astbury (The Cult), "Heart of Soul"

[@SomeGuy-cw9rw]

Matt Corby has great control.

[@rebelarcher5450]

Song is about sleeping with his best mates girlfriend and the guilt he felt afterwards.

[@SuzyTrippa]

Whenever l hear this l often wonder how much shame he actually has for his actions! 😢

[@lesliedavis2185]

People often do very dumb things for love and sex

[@nnoddy8161]

That is what sleeping with your best mate's girlfriend will do to you!!!

[@murraygosling2375]

He had an affair with his mates girl

[@karenhp2922]

Doesn't appeal to me at all. I saw him live last weekend at the gold coast and it didn't appeal to me. The huge crowd obviously enjoyed the free show. Not on my playlists.

[@GrumpySoth]

Nice spot that the start is "tribalistic" It's a cooee. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooee
