I have seen many of Matt Corby's performances of this song. They just don't hit the same way as this version. EVERY time i get chills at the end. This is probably my favourite live performance of anyone I have ever seen. This will always hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my days.

[@Butterz___]

One of Australia’s most underrated treasures.

[@Ben-616]

Matt Corby is underrated... so underrated...

[@misdemeanours]

I wouldn't say underrated, the people that know him know how great he is, the issue is not enough people know of him!

[@scyphion]

Yeah he’s a big musician in Australia but that’s really all

[@akumamatataaa]

Just underexposed mate :)

[@christianfernandez6847]

Well here we go... I've listened and watched this astonishing recording maybe 50 times. I cry every time. But not before minutes of goosebumps. This is perfection. Truly. Not a single thing I can fault. I've showed it to a few mates. Same result. Moves the soul. Painfully beautiful

[@benryan8713]

same here. its probably the greatest vocal range ive ever seen in one song. it goes from church to grunge.

[@rileyswindells7531]

THE best live performance. No one comes close to Matt Corby in terms of vocals

[@rileyswindells7531]

My mistake... Pearl Jam - Black (unplugged) comes close/just as good 😂

[@calnorman5370]

He’s obviously good but Conor mason is better

[@rileyswindells7531]

I agree he’s quality but I don’t think he has that growl like Matt does

[@EldongDaddyvic]

Give a listen to Jeff Buckley singing live at sin-é. Matt’s actually a Buckley fan and covered his songs once or twice :)

[@NorthernSpartan]

@@calnorman5370 Didn't expect to see Conor mentioned here. He's my favourite vocalist of all time. But I don't think we can compare the two. Matt is equally amazing in different ways.

[@keaniebro1776]

This is hands down the best like a version ever.

[@katebushka6948]

It’s not a LAV cover though, it’s his performance of his own song before doing the cover

[@scyphion]

Still better than the other version

[@timhill6758]

2021 and this still the best version of a great song by a timeless artist.

[@LEVRAN]

!!!😭

[@bajopaul]

Hallelujah. I completely agree. Didn't like the radio version at all but this stripped down absolutely rocks. And to think he sang it at 8 in the morning.

[@lukepeterriley]

This is one of those songs that no one else should cover. The performance, lyrics and emotions are his. More than just a song

[@robbiebouchart1551]

Probably the greatest performance of a song I've ever seen.

One of the rare moments where the sacred can be felt. I'll never forget listening to this whilst driving in my car almost a decade ago. It's absolute perfection for me.

That was the most mesmerising live performance I have ever witnessed. I have tears

[@Mooodzone]

I was 18years old when I found his live version for the radio. This song gave me so much chills! This and Ben Howard at the time where so soothing to listen to and a relief at times. English is not my native language but I was amazed in how some words give a sentence deep meaning and not to mention the music on top of that all wrapped together in beautiful vocals!

[@a7xdude87]

Deserves way more views. Raw voice, raw emotion, raw talent. Brings a tear each time his voice breaks towards the end. Powerful stuff

It's addictive watching reactions knowing that their shocked and delighted faces will tell us what they think. Farnham's Help has similar reactions from the reactors with Chisel's Bow River not far behind.

[@The-Real-Spaniard]

Matt Corby one of the most if not the most underrated artists to come from Australia in the last 15 years, the range that he shows in his vocals from chest to head voice from airy to full voice from soft to the grol in his voice I dare anyone to tell me another vocalist with this range, and don't get me started how good he plays the guitar

[@stevehigham7179]

I'm not sure how many times I've watched this over the last 24 hours, but I'm completely addicted to this performance. I've been a fan of his for a while, but only just seen this version. It's completely insane the levels of talent on show here - Kudos to Matt. Now, back to the start again...

[@zaneh2718]

Been absolutely obsessed with this song since it came out in 2012. Has been my favourite song and will always be my favourite song for my life time. Matt Corby is truely above all musicians.

[@samyhook7059]

As a singer I just ask myself: How does he survive a concert? How does he not go hoarse???? Amazing

[@xavirik4828]

The way he sang this song was kind of a one off. Have seen him live and he's more reserved in his vocals and less fragile

[@itsfqndave]

Hes come so far from the 16yo kid on Oz Idol. Truly one of our most underrated musicians of the last decade. Australian musical talent on similar levels to someone like Daniel Johns in terms of songwriting ability, musicianship, vocal range, and musical genius. I will never not love this song and the stripped back renditions in particular. The pure emotion he brings out in his acoustic versions are so bitterly sad that I always get a lump in my throat and goosebumps and sometimes even tear up from listening to him. There aren't many other musicians or songs that get to me in such an emotive way as this song. Thank you Matt for giving me the gift of feeling such a pure emotion from your art form.
