Tim Minchin "Storm" (First Time Reaction)

[@corawheeler9355]

"Science adjusts its views based on what's observed; Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved."

[@melimoo6656]

One of the best lines ever!!!

[@annina134]

True

[@jemxs]

Love that line and quote it in discussions regularly.

[@fionabarrie9697]

Dude, remembering is just CRAFT!

[@neilt6480]

Yes indeed. Stage actors remember whole plays. I can't do it, but I respect those who can.

[@corawheeler9355]

But as L33 pointed out, Tim had to juggle a few things, not just the script.

[@fionabarrie9697]

@ which is why it is pure Craft. 😁

[@wendycohen9038]

Tim also wrote and recorded the music, and the poem exactly matches the beats in the music. He is a genius. He's still acting, writing and producing television, writing musicals, and touring. He recently put out a fantastic album of his more romantic, serious songs, Apart Together. It's yet another side of this multi-talented artist.

[@annakermode6646]

Tim Minchin is majestic on so many different levels, it’s impossible for the garden variety human to wrap their head around.

[@SnoopySnoops1]

Tim is an excellent actor as well. A real all-rounder of great talent.

[@BradReddekopp]

Brilliant piece. I love this one and I'm with Tim on every bit of it.

[@AP-gb3eh]

His attack on the sexual predators of the church Come Home Cardinal Pell and the Pope ( All proceeds to the victims) are legendary. Pell ran to the Vatican to get away from the police. They both came out right after the scandals broke

[@rosmeeker1964]

I'm with Tim.

[@Anamalfarm84]

What an excellent song

[@corawheeler9355]

Minchin is a genius, that's how he did it. In his beat-poem Mitsubishi Colt, his hands play piano separately while he recites the poem ... like his brain can do 3 things at once. He's an amazing talent.

[@wendycohen9038]

Also, I really enjoy your commentary. I like the way you think and express yourself. Keep it up!

[@jemxs]

Haha he is amazing..theres a few different performances of this and he is always word perfect every time!

[@cathyaldridge4550]

Tim's the best. Thank you for not telling us what you believe. The world would be so much better off if people just kept their spiritual beliefs to themselves.

[@SteelyDaddy59]

Tim Minchin was great in the sixth season of Californication. He portrayed a rockstar named Atticus Fetch.

[@fionabarrie9697]

Ok then, will have to check that out

[@MisterWondrous]

Tim is a full-on genius. "Prejudice", "God" and "If I Didn't Have You" are all top shelf. Kinda sad to hear that our young folk think that everyone is corrupt though, and that no one is deserving of trust. Times really have changed since the Bible days or the Bhagavad-Gita Days. Certainly the Vedas days. I blame Mountain Dew.

[@Joshualuv13]

His a genius,ever heard him on thr piano, Exsordinary.

[@SondraSchmitt]

If you like this, listen to "one day you'll be as good as Elton John ". Tim is brilliant

[@samanthatyrrell2240]

Called Mitsubishi Colt. It’s a good one.

[@BillKoch-w2f]

No one out there like him

[@geob3963]

We spend all of our time looking for, identifying and analyzing patterns and signs. So Invested, we need to assign meaning to what we stumble across.

[@DannoHookings]

Damn, havent heard a perfect circle in a while, nice intro song 🤌

[@annuvynarawn392]

Great stuff, Tim is based. Amazing how he gets away with it.

[@corawheeler9355]

Trapped in the blinding headlights of vacuous crap .... been there. lol

[@flor9389]

If you haven’t done Rock and Roll Nerd, it’s great!

[@RJ-oy7cq]

LEE--this is a great one. Two ABSOLUTE Minchin classics--THE POPE SONG and THE DARK SIDE. Please react to these--I absolutely guarantee you will TOTALLY love these. I know you will love these like you love our common favorite SUPERNATURAL characters--Dean, Castiel and John! Seriously I can tell you will love these. PS--hoping you get to some Mike Nesmith led songs from the Monkees soon. As I mentioned before, he's the John Lennon(both our favorite Beatle) of the Monkees...in his own Monkee way.

[@RJ-oy7cq]

PS--with THE POPE SONG GET the video where he is SOLO ON THE PIANO...NOT the one where he is in front of a full orchestra. The solo piano version of the song is perfectly performed with razor sharpness...the version in front of a full orchestra is still good BUT not honed to perfection like the solo piano version is.

[@corawheeler9355]

@@RJ-oy7cq I think Lee has seen the Pope Song ... I agree he has to see the Dark Side ... Tim's piano playing is incredible

[@RJ-oy7cq]

@@corawheeler9355 Really? I don't think he did ...I was sure I seen all his Tim reactions unless SOMEHOW that slipped thru the cracks for me.

[@corawheeler9355]

@@RJ-oy7cq I sent him some Minchin videos that I didn't think would be accepted on the channel (Pope Song and I Love Jesus) ... I don't know if he watched or not

[@RJ-oy7cq]

@@corawheeler9355 Okay Cora! FYI--The POPE SONG should make it thru(despite the language lol!)...plenty of other reactors have played it with zero problems with no blockage whatsoever...the visuals and audio are never blocked whatsoever and the reactions gave stayed up permanently. So if LEE has not seen it yet he should be able to react and post it with ZERO problems.

[@56music64]

I observe, open to anything proved, no matter what or where it comes from. Yes science is brilliant and has more than once saved many people's lives. Still open to anything proved though

[@RJ-oy7cq]

So LEE--have you seen THE POPE SONG yet(in private)? CORA think you may have. IF NOT--can you react to it? It would be amazing imo.

[@christyzeeaquarianated2600]

Pity it's not the better version (performance.) Oh well, can't win 'em all.

[@neilt6480]

I guess your conspiracy theorist religious views caused you to miss the whole point of the piece. Science is not a religion. What makes it not a religion is that anyone can develop the skills to check the evidence, no faith involved. It just takes a whole lot of hard work instead of "I know what I know and don't confuse me with facts" or "I don't know so nobody can know". Did you miss the bit that led him to carve "fancy that" on the side of his cock? That every explanation has turned out to be NOT magic?
