[@bodaniel2024]

Most underrated Australian Artist.

[@imnotgonnalie6801]

No.

[@bodaniel2024]

Imnotgonnalie Yes.

[@bodaniel2024]

Imnotgonnalie HAHAHAHAHA

[@Dekamerx]

Is he really underrated?

[@monkeyace6784]

How is he underrated

[@liamhassett8736]

This surely is the most underrated performance of all time

[@tatyanamckenzie8769]

Matt Corby is a masterpiece in more ways than one. Aaanndddd can we just take a second to appreciate the supporting vocalist - holy moly! Her voice is so soulful and as smooth as silk!

[@ghostie7790]

I kept imagining that I was her and that Matt was singing with me.

[@Link122]

more than that, the bravery it takes to be any sort of supporting to the voice of Matt Corby must take a special kind of bravery

[@ghostie7790]

cohletrain true words.

[@patriziabraun]

so true!

[@jamesmills7255]

Her name is Ally Dowling - she is married to Matt's guitar player Joel Dowling.

[@AlexDeutsch]

Woah can we all just take a minute to discuss how much that backing vocalist smashed this? Effortless, strong vocals without trying to outsing Matt Corby (impossible).

[@downing3]

I was thinking that too, she was perfect for it

[@tamlandipper29]

So who is she?

[@katraynormusic]

I wanna know too

[@jacquelinem6609]

Absolutely!

[@AndyJCapes]

Her name is Ally Dowling :)

[@zacharysaunders6232]

That keyboardist is fucking getting groovay

[@MrSher22]

should of seen him at the shows haha hes psycho

[@sixstringedthing]

What about the guitarist man? They're all totally into it, and totally into Matt's voice too.

[@zacharysaunders6232]

yeah both loving it, so good when muso's just get lost in there own music

[@sixstringedthing]

So good when we all get lost in the music mate ;)

[@jruderwier]

it's truly been a pleasure to watch his gradual transformation into a homeless Vietnam war veteran

[@clownbaby_43]

lmao

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Literally LOL'd

[@katemc2913]

#nailedit

[@AS-mu2hx]

LOL'd so hard.

[@Lukelegs]

What I would give to run a comb through that hair.

[@88Featured]

The main thing I appreciate about Matty is that he understands the payoff from a slow build up.

[@andrewdods2236]

88Featured agreed :-)

[@alexkenley1]

He's a master of the slow build up.

[@alexandrah2662]

Foreplay is critical

[@Lizalotte]

He sure does..

[@uscitizen3252]

The perfect way to describe him. :)

[@decryptthestory861]

the whole band is so tight, but that backup vocalist tho! she absolutely killed it. 👌

[@benmikkelsen3619]

2022, how am i just finding this now? Absolutely killed it 💥🔥

[@NickGeorgiou]

This keeps me coming back.

[@paisley_dreams]

you and I both!

[@sixstringedthing]

This was unexpected and wonderful. Man crushing so hard right now. Backup vocalist and band were totally groovin and spot-on perfect too. Possibly best LAV ever... high bar, but these guys really nailed it. And that voice...

[@urbanpermie6307]

Nowhere near Paces Ft Guy Sebastian LAV, and not better than Thundamentals LAV either.Both of the ones I mentioned were def improvements on the original. This one I really dont think so. Corbys other LAV was good.

[@sixstringedthing]

Fair call mate... Guy was absolutely fucking amazing on Keeping Score and Paces is faultless, Thunda's and Ed completely transformed 'Brother' into something jaw-dropping, Matt's rendition of Lonely Boy and his stripped-down Brother are two of the coolest songs I have ever heard, and I am an old fart. :) But this has a heavy dose of nostalgia about it (see "old fart" haha) and goddamn, it's just smooth as teflon.

[@rophiny]

VICtorian071 I disagree. Corby has soul Sebastian can't really touch. He's a much more powerful artist.

[@ghostie7790]

you said it!

[@urbanpermie6307]

Tee Raffs Read my comment again. I am not arguing who has a more soulful voice. I stated that Corby's LAV was not as good as Sebastian's. I thought the arrangement was ordinary, and did not convey the original story properly that Tina Arena intended. Sebastians LAV was a step up from the original.

[@MADBONE0]

that wink at the end is too smooth ..

[@gaaaybe]

That is some smooth peanut butter, spread me sideways Corby

[@jessica23claire]

THIS COMMENT MADE MY DAY OMG

[@carly-jaymetcalfe6401]

FUCK YES.

[@josiahmaddox1842]

YES FUCK.

[@jesss5293]

Hahahaha yessss

[@iriszoski4621]

bahaha.. best!

[@homerodantas147]

03:05 OMG THE HARMONY. what a great vocalist is the backing vocal singer!!

[@valetudo90]

Just commented the same thing, it's fucking absurd how good that is

[@mirunaniculae437]

His posture, the way he moves and stands while performing, his gestures... such a humble person with the greatest voice

[@ilysamillies]

no gimmicks. just pure talent 🔥

[@klg6790]

3.41-3.44 the facial expressions of the guy on keys is priceless. I think even he's blown away by how good this is.

[@krystalkeil]

Who is still listening to this on the regular after 2 years lol

[@maddysoncain8557]

Krystal Keil every single day!!

[@terencema6714]

2020 baby!

[@yasmin9479]

2021! Lol I can’t get over literally the best voice ever

[@honeylishuss]

@@maddysoncain8557 all the time

[@Oatmilllk]

2021 baby

[@nancydavis4375]

One of my favourite songs I am nearly 70 and this first time hearing this guy ! fabulous job will certainly will be trying to find more of his work hope you find fame young man you are very talented

[@odeon7834]

I felt like Matt brought some Neo-soul vibes to this version, reminded me of D'angelo a lot. I'd love to hear Matt do a cover of any song on D'angelo's Brown Sugar or Voodoo Albums, Brown Sugar, How Does It Feel, When We Get By, One Mo Gin or Higher... he'd kill it on any of those.

[@AlainBruno]

He sounds so good live.

[@kokkil7047]

Matt Corey is a talented guy.

[@andreeaabro]

they sing so beautifully together

[@mailinwinder3442]

I agree with u

[@niavseven]

Such a soulful rendition - chills!

[@keltronn]

i love the head bops they all do

[@GaleBeatbox]

so much soul in this wow.

[@theabigailjean]

So much wow in this soul.

[@AusAnon91]

Much wow in this so soul.

[@lovesicc2860]

in this soul so much wow

[@Juelz4ever]

exactly, there are plenty of singers that can sing, but i only have that special kind of feeling listening to this cat. saw him live once, good show.

[@jamest3822]

Anyone else notice Keyboard guy looking at Corby like he wants his babies? Dude is crushing hard and i dont blame him.

[@honeylishuss]

I love how he’s so into it you can almost feel HIS goosebumps!!!! I love it

[@Oatmilllk]

lmaooo now I keep laughing every time I watch this 💀

[@milskypoynter8970]

This is everything

[@shanleighhh]

THIS COVER WILL NEVER GET OLD

[@laurajayneabingdon]

As a massive fan of the original song, I have to say Matt absolutely blew this out of the water! Amazing!

[@pixiewings21_9]

This guy is a true artist and musician. Beautiful. People like him need to be topping the 'charts'.

[@philgoodinc2]

Matt Corby is amazing! I remember when he sang "Brother" last time on like a version. It gave me full body goosebumps. Wish there was a good quality version of it somewhere.

[@dudemanismadcool]

I know right, I still think that's in the top 5 best performances I have ever seen.

[@darrendunaway7774]

I have yet to hear anyone that is vocally as dynamic as Matt Corby. Hands down one of the best.

[@DrP225]

This is one of the most talented men on the face of the earth 🙌🏽

[@rophiny]

The technicality in his vocals. MC is nuts.

[@eveh4222]

I have probably listened to this 30 time in the last 24 hours. I'm seriously so in love!!! He has such great range and the dynamics were awesome!!!! Now for the girl singing, she has such ease to her voice, I admire her control so much. Now the keyboard!!! That got me pumped. Everything about this song was phenomenal

[@andrewdods2236]

Eve H Agreed

[@andrewdods2236]

Eve H Hearing you !

[@bennyray979]

Me too and I just friggen discovered it . Best like a version without doubt

[@tonyangel2179]

Still by far the best live performance i've ever been to. Forever a Matt Corby fan

[@rubymilne6651]

half of these views are probably from me.. i cant stop listening to this cover it shows off his amazing vocals so well. Matt Corby kills it as always

[@salnasser9993]

I love how into it the pianist gets. And I also think he is totally in Matt's chains.

[@honeylishuss]

Me too! Love how he has to almost hold back

[@aaronj7707]

Three years on and I still adore this version

[@VsNicole]

I have always loved the original by Tina Arena. Matt's version is absolutely stunning.

[@kingleonidas6558]

Triple J's audio quality is unmatched. My speaker is blown out and it still sounds decent.

[@terencelim9482]

Velvet buttery tones. OHH damnnn~! I've melted.

[@noelianarciso3055]

Most underrated Australian Artist. the whole band is so tight, but that backup vocalist tho! she absolutely killed it. 👌

[@mikelombard21]

My god that was amazing. So many different levels and textures to his voice. 4:46 he goes through like 5 different tones right at the end as he brings it back to a close. Unbelievable vocal. Just on his on level.

[@matthewhogg157]

Hats off to the recording engineers, absolutely sick balance!

[@matthewhogg157]

A korg would add another layer

[@cicicox5995]

Literally the best performance ever

[@saucysandy]

I watch this nearly nightly. The runs, key changes, the swag. Gorgeous man.

[@tysonreesmusic]

that snare sounds amazing

[@01ryan10]

sucker for a rimshot

[@tysonreesmusic]

Ryan Ell Absolutely

[@JungleWeedzz]

Crisp af

[@Samantha-nf1gc]

What is a snare?

[@tysonreesmusic]

Samantha Sephora The drum he's hitting the rim of at the start

[@danielluis7371]

Just love the way this song keeps picking up🔥

[@TheKristyMack]

I swear I only find the best stuff when I should be studying haha this was awesome

[@randomassockss]

how did the studies go?

[@blazecorp]

Holy shit! Straight out of the 70's urban soul era. That was fucking cool...

[@techadeptcrafts]

That is an incredible cover. Can't believes its taken this long for me to find it. Fantastic groove.

[@julieng7191]

The main thing I appreciate about Matty is that he understands the payoff from a slow build up. i love the head bops they all do

[@thisiscoolforme]

Wish this was released as a single!!

[@williambryans7979]

Like a version CD. It's on there. I bought it, and his album, all cos of this effort.

[@feliciahawkins7934]

This is one of my favorite songs..I remember when she sung this in 95 ..I been a fan ever since.. Great job my guy..❤❤❤

[@coriander4ever]

No flaws whatsoever. Perfect.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Absolute slay.

[@g_is_supercool]

Matt COrby is still one of the BEST talents Australia has...This cover was absolutely INSANE!!! kudos to the backing vocalist abd the band too!

[@ageiiGIRL]

save me. im drowning. the soul is up to my neck. this is fucking incredible

[@miboogaroo]

Came for the song stayed for the tone and clarity in his voice... nice

[@cutandstickrubyv4691]

This song is just ridiculously good oh my god!!

[@joki700]

This literally melted me. Sent it to my girl, been an avid Matt corby follower but this is my first time seeing this... And it came at the perfect time. Matt corby is the one modern artist that I've found who literally has captured the pure art of music, not hitting top charts not doing what other people say. This man is a true musical genius and melts my soul over and over.

[@annabellebrock5396]

I think the keyboard player is in love with Matt Corby :)

[@catheadjayden]

Agreed. He's Infatuated haha

[@guybowden3075]

he looks like Scotty perving on Dirk!

[@mup8661]

Sheeed listen to Matt; look at'em! I'm even man crushing over here. Chuck Norris would be man crushing lol

[@Link122]

I honestly think that is more of a "nailed it, buddy" than any sort of thirst.

[@jebisamess1902]

the keyboard player much like the backup singer has to constantly check that they are playing on beat with the singer, especially one like matt who closes his eyes and gets lost in the music in a way. less of an infatuation and more of a necessity.

[@Grace_Frick]

well shit, now I'm pregnant.

[@sixstringedthing]

GF and I both lost it..... LMFAO well done

[@ghostie7790]

right?!

[@grahamcox4609]

This crap a joke

[@imnotgonnalie6801]

I am sure dads are 2 ^^

[@honeylishuss]

This just rocks it’s socks off. I love how the band takes off- you can just see how a little bolt of energy ripples through them all. I have watched this more than any tune on KZbin. He just nails it, improves it, makes it so much better . Being a Spunkrat is an added bonus.

[@The-Real-Spaniard]

Matts vocals capabilities are just out of this world what he does with what's suppose to be a single note and adds his runs with that gritty voice he is definitely one of Australia's best male vocalist period and one of the most underrated at the same time it's a shame that not many people know about him while you get all these autotune singers all over the charts

[@TheMandysings]

The back up singer! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you were fabulous girlfriend! Where can we hear more of you!?!?

[@nickonicasso3588]

yes does anyone know this fabulous girls name please,?

[@abeandersonmusic]

Knew he was a massive Tina fan... so glad he did this and so glad he did it justice!

[@dustyandmax2239]

Beautiful cover❤ And let's not forget about the great backup singer. Chilled out groove.

[@SaritaDio]

He and that back up singer lady..... AWESOME!

[@TheBrightPixel]

This was delicious! Every person brought their A+ game. Killer.

[@nealtucker8029]

The last few weeks have been the best Like a Versions in a while

[@gessieckah3513]

I've been replaying this for the past two hours.

[@Maxkil]

He is a talented talented singer

[@BeMyVforever]

I come back to this and so many more Matt Corby live performances time and time again since they were released years ago.

[@leahdametto6096]

Omg her voice. Chills, so good chills!

[@Jimsmith656]

Far out every time!! his voice is absolutely incredible

[@ariaa15]

This was published on my birthday 3 years ago and it's still the best gift I've ever been blessed

[@andrewdods2236]

Please please release this! I’ll buy it for me, and everyone I know! And play it daily .... absolutely love it !!

[@lakinbarratt8321]

Matt Corby, you legend! You totally smashed this song! Loving the smooth sounds!

[@emashman4184]

beautiful song, beautiful rendition, beautiful man oh boy

[@canttouchdylan]

Matt Corby is such an amazing vocalist! Always knew he was destined for greatness since he first came to fame on Australian Idol!

[@suzanneedwards5667]

I've loved this song for YEARS and this is EPIC....I have to listen to it every day..... Thank you Matt Corby and your band... sad I've gone years without this in my life ,but I'm so glad I found you now :)

[@graceygirl1234]

KZbin needs to have a "Love" button for this.

[@berrybiscuit1293]

put this on Spotify!! please!

[@tanishas.2314]

i am sad but so happy i am just finding this. HOW?! wow. amazing.

[@saucysandy]

I listen to this almost daily for close to a year now. Fills my soul, makes me happy, it's always my go to video when I need to bring some light into my day

[@hayleymcleal]

Sandra Moriarty you aren't the only one! I am exactly the same! Can't get enough of this song! So good 🙌🏽

[@dudemanismadcool]

How Matts voice could have gotten any better I don't know but it did, goddam

[@rohanlever2320]

wow one of the best "like a versions" i have ever seen.. amazing... the guy has some pipes :)

[@elizabethmacleod1837]

Look up his music! He's amazing!

[@mikeyb6737]

Matt, you and John Butler are the best from Australia. I love your work and you give us all great pleasure. Special thank you to the band and that gorgeous lady - what a voice.

[@Trickshotfame]

Back 6 years later. Will NEVER get enough. Miss you corbs

[@LotusBlack5]

I love it when Matt injects little scats into songs. Sounds so good.

[@imandashtazmayi923]

LotusBlack5

[@karritessa]

Matt Corby looks like a wanderer earning quick money as a window cleaner at traffic lights who got discovered by a radio announcer who happened to stop at a red traffic light and while Matt was cleaning the windscreen, heard him sing along to Tina Arena on the radio and signed him up.

[@stefanglen]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@daniel_8181]

I just love him and his warm tone of voice!

[@alioness4199]

THAT VOICE!!!! OMG... so so beautiful and just gets better... awesome version Matt!

[@gc123x]

Keyboard player completely in love with Matt ;)

[@tommyvoong7122]

Your arms are warm but they make me feel As if they're made of cold, cold steel A simple kiss like a turnin' key A little click and the lock's on me Can't move my arms, can't lift my hands I won't admit to where I am But I know baby, I'm in chains I'm in chains I pretend I can always leave Free to go whenever I please But then the sound of my desperate calls Echo off these dungeon walls I've crossed the line from mad to sane A thousand times and back again I love you baby, I'm in chains I'm in chains I'm in chains I'm in chains Should have known passing through the gate That once inside I could not escape I never thought this could happen to me Never thought this is where I'd be But baby, baby, baby, look at me Baby, baby, look at me, I'm in chains I'm in chains I never thought this is where I'd be Never thought this could happen to me

[@dustanmileham3948]

Today's era. Very Joe cocker when cricket was young. His pitch and range and the seat at the end .masterpiece brilliantly delivered. Love Matt Corby.check out his albums very nicely done lyrical genius didn't win idol but won more by staying true to himself

[@rubymilne6651]

I love how in to his performances he gets. I've viewed this so many times I lost count lol. Matt Corby is my absolute favourite man and singer, his voice is stunning. I'm so proud to call myself an Australian because of this man.

[@carolinehaf21]

Dear GOD those harmonies and the runs from Matt!! Heaven... 😍

[@ghostie7790]

it's ridiculous how excited I get when I see he has a new video up! and on a side note- I think this is the first time I've seen him in a shirt that's a non- neutral color! He looks good! Brings out his eyes.

[@Vickichris56]

Must have to be the best of the best Like A Version - WOW ***

[@teanawhorskey]

I always come back to this video ❤️‍🔥

[@tthom2459]

This live performance is better than any studio recorded one I've ever heard
