A song about rejecting beauty in art, that is excruciatingly beautiful.

There is something about Tim's voice that soothes you like a lullaby. One of the best songs ever written.

I like how this song that makes fun of songs about beauty is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard

Saw Tim perform this at his last show in LA. He actually apologized for it, saying it was self-indulgent, that it was very personal about his relationship with music. The theatre was absolutely still throughout the sound, then erupted after letting the music fall silent. Tim was wiping tears from his face, as were most of us in the audience. I can never choose a favorite “Tim song”, they’re all so outstanding in different ways. But this ...

BrynPoo KC I envy this story right here almost two fucking years later 😂😂

This song is so ironically beautiful and melancholy. It's probably my favourite. I feel like I'm looking into his...soul? ...or mind. Or heart. It makes me want to give him a hug ❤. More than happy to pay for Tim to bring beauty to the stage.

Can't believe I'd never heard this one before. Brilliant song.

The funniest part for me is that Tim is actually a really beautiful guy! Maybe he doesn't see it but I sure do 😊

How in the sweet everlasting fuck did I get a compulsion to search for Tim only 8 minutes after a video was uploaded? God must be taking a break from cataracts

I get chills everytime I listen to this song. Tim, you're truly something special.

This finally made sense to me on the third listen. Minchin is pondering the question of whether he's purely a comedian; exploring why he doesn't do "serious music." He pokes fun at himself, suggesting it's sour grapes (the "could totally have her if I wanted" stuff)... but also accuses the audience of "paying to see satire and rage." This meta-song is his little rebellion against his own rebellious repertoire.

he doesn't see himself as a comedian, at least not in the first instance. He sees himself as a musician who sometimes does comedy. The comedy was more of a pathway into doing other things that he's interested in.

Oh, Tim - How do you not faint, overwhelmed, each time you realize that you are Tim Minchin, who has such talent and such power over all of us?? Do you pinch yourself, amazed that you are you? I would!! I can't imagine what it must be like to be you, with all of THIS within you! "Beauty" is one of the most haunting, melancholic, consuming pieces of music ever written!! Thank you!!

It's like my 100th time listening this but it still makes me emotional

Me: I won't cry this time Also me: *cries eyes out* this song isn't even sad, it's just so relatable and true, it gives you a warm fuzy feeling inside, *continues to cry alone*

Spot on humanist’s observations. Self-revelatory. Beautifully raw.

I would guess that many others, as I, came to this page to listen to "Come Home Cardinal Pell" after the news today. Interesting that he gave us an alternative song to listen to today. Minchin staying 10 steps ahead. Can't wait to see "Upright".

My very first thought on hearing the Pell news was of Tim Minchin. .. gutsy and sooooo appreciated ... thanks Tim Minchin ... and on we go .......... may we all display our courage skills and commitments to this world ..... best hopes and wishes to all affected by institutional and individual abuses 🐞

You're beautiful. Thank you, Tim.

This was the first song of tims that I got to see him perform in person when he came to York on his most recent "unfunny" tour and it was a beautiful song for him to open with. Got to hear a lot of songs I've never heard before and a very different side of him compared to the comedic side I've watched countless times. It was a beautiful 2 hours in a small opera house with about no more than a couple of thousand people. He's so unbelievably talented

That last line is one of the most beautiful lies I’ve ever heard.

Wow.. that song is so serious, but with the Tim's voice.. i bet i can listen to that forever.. thank you so much!!

Interesting to see this. I can't stand most non-metal music and I think it's because it feels insincere, dishonest, safe, and uninteresting. I like Tim's music though. Even though it's ironic, it's more truthful than most "sincere" love songs.

Huh. I don't really know what to think about this, or how to feel. I'll probably have to listen to it / read the lyrics a few times before I even scratch the surface. Innuendo that feels out of place, but feels purposely so. Layers of metaphor and shifting intention. Emotional lyrics and delivery, though precisely which emotion is hard to pin down. It's rather profound, I think. I'm not sure yet.

Maybe she just got hacked by the computer kids who told you she's a fan cos they have a digital connection to her computer algorythms and she watches you sing songs from time to time on the You Tubes - plus her and her civil partner enjoyed your O2 Arena gig some years back. Kind regards from The Dark Side.

That's staggering. It.... hurts to listen to. I can't put it any other way.

If you're physically beautiful, life is different. If you accept - even thrive on, and perhaps rely on - the favours it grants you, you might have a less active mind, because innovation and imagination are borne from the need to make the most of what natural talents you have.

@IHasNoLife Productions he is using the context of beauty being a lazy theme to follow in art, whilst simultaneously writing a song about beauty in a way that hits theme perfectly, but then he follows it up saying that it's difficult for him to personally convey beauty. I guess it's not laugh out loud funny, just clever.

Not sure this song is quite as deep as everyone seems to interpret. I think he's just trying to explain why he chooses to be intellectual and funny rather than try to be a rock star. 'Fame is beauty'.

But then, the last few lines. "For all those other lucky bastards..." Plus, if you know his history, he didn't start off trying to be a comedian. He was trying to be a rock musician and it never took off. Comedy is what makes his kind of irony palatable to the public, but it's not what he really wanted to do. I think he's being genuine here, but part of what he's expressing is sour grapes.

@PianoDiary85

I think he's actually saying he's quite happy to deliver both beauty and satire (he is delivering one of the most beautiful songs here), though people pay him for satire and rage, and he gets labeled as a comedian. He doesn't want to be pigeonholed.
