Tim Minchin - You Grew On Me (playing at home)

[tomaatje1]

Is that a Jesus in the background? :O xD

[DrunkenKangeroo]

He looks so different without eyeliner and big hair!! :P

[liammccabe05]

This one of the most conceited yet beautiful love songs xD

[MusicGivesmeasmile]

Still watching in fucking 2018! Did I win? (:

[liammccabe05]

@MusicGivesmeasmile No xD

[MusicGivesmeasmile]

@liammccabe05 Damn. Well, if anything happens to me that brings me to the hospital or a mental institute or if I just get old and grey. I won't ask anything. Just good food and Tim Minchin. Thank you. :P

[liammccabe05]

@MusicGivesmeasmile Sounds like a pretty good diet. I'm Catholic (lol religion down your throat much?) and I still find him hilarious. ESPECIALLY the anti-religious stuff. After all, if you can't laugh at yourself...

[CrissCross407]

mm he looks quite handsome with glasses and his hair un-fluffed. of course he looks great fluffed up too XD fantastic musician and a hell of a comedian, much love :)

[1atticked]

still watching...enjoying...wanting more...2012 and beyond...if the galactic alignment we're entering allows, that is. hee hee

[dotchoo]

it's really Jesus, he was sneaking up on Tim with an axe before they started filming. cue typical cartoon villain Jesus going "This isn't over, Minchin..."

[josh61595]

okay it is now 2012! but still great... Who is still watching??

[Samurai416]

WHAT? is that jesus picture for real?

[lsynno]

Aw i cant stand this its just so bloody and sick

[nxcoleyxx]

i LOVE the jesus picture in the background. hilarious!

[seanwn1992]

Who's watching this in 2012?!

[JoKitch8]

@seanwn1992 I am

[Elandril123]

No! I'm watching this in 2012! ;)

[xxGrey]

Arms...

[Vamp61616]

@gigiisthecoolest No, that isn't Jesus. It's a portrait of Tim.

[Rafael90278]

Você cresceu em mim como um tumor

E você espalha através de mim como o melanoma maligno

E agora você está no meu coração

que eu deveria ter cortado lo de volta para o início

Agora eu estou com medo não há cura para mim

nenhuma dose de quimioterapia emocional

[profNeyz]

@Rafael90278 mais um Brasileiro q curte o som desse cara! Demaissss

[profNeyz]

@Rafael90278 O q vc acha, ao invez de eu estou com medo... eu receio que ...? (desculpa os erros, n sou brasileira n ta)

[Delospinyos]

he's an atheist, but is nothing wrong with jesus. Jesus was a great philospher, the problem is with the church, and I don't see any cross in the room

[MusicXisXmyXlifeeXxx]

he's so fuckin' cute :P

[ChrisKnight12]

I love you

[jeremyRmathews]

1:20 meningo *FUCKING* coccal Meningitis........hmmm i think i got a shot for that??

[gigiisthecoolest]

First......is...jesus in the doorway???? Hahahahaha. Second, I love this song so much. Im going to sing it for a talent show. Third, Tim Minchin has a very unique voice, it's very lovely

[willhelm94]

tutorial??

[simplerachel11]

6 months have passed by the world is now even more beautiful because of you..

[cammense]

is Jesus there ironically?

[MustradElbow]

@cammense No way, I was JUST thinking that..

[NotAddictedObsessed]

@cammense Probably;')!

[Fuchur84]

@cammense You need to know your enemy, to fight him... ;)

[cherubenjezza]

If only he could see ahead 5 years to hear this song orchestrated for a 80 piece band, touring the fucking world.

[Redialable]

Is there a giant pickle sleeping on the piano?

[EnglishRoseyPink]

This is mine and my boyfriend's 'song'. I shit you not. Too romantic. :)

[josh61595]

who's still watching in 2011?!

[Dreverda]

@josh61595 I'm watching this in 2012.

[iRunWithLife]

@Dreverda

I'm watching this in 1975.

[izzyGO52]

@iRunWithLife Your YouTube name is cool

[bucketcat1]

@josh61595

[MikeWazowski94]

@josh61595 Nope, its 2012

[tomthetrumpet]

@josh61595 I'm watching in 2012!

[TheLazykins]

@josh61595 and now in 2012 !! :D

[lucyii]

I love this. MORE THAN I LOVE LIFE.

[PsychoPlumber]

Slightly reminds me of that guy in CSI:NY in those glasses.

[PianoManAMJ]

Tim. You. Are. A. LEGEND!

[skatz55]

i love this guy xDDDDD

[dafontenot]

TIM, COME TO HOUSTON, TX!  These people here need you!!!

[TwistedReality187]

@dafontenot I agree would love to see Tim come here

[lucyii]

hes is in-fucking-credible. i am hooked. now and forever. that was so fucking perfect.

[kelseyhm]

I like seeing him as a normal bloke. :)

[Brainbox97]

Without that make-up, it looks like he has such small eyes!

[nycglitztap]

I love the way he closes his "a" vowels to "r", as in "melanomer" :) <333

[LadyMagnolia90]

<3

[KaytiPita10]

I just love how his right eyebrow keeps popping up whenever he holds a long note.

[JMurph1211]

Beautiful... in a lovely sick way!!!

[LadyOpenshaw]

It is actually a really romantic song!

[mushroomswitheyes]

Maybe he just thinks Jesus is pretty

[mozmootar]

if thats his house whys he got a jesus beadcurtain? X) didnt even know u could get them hahaa

[slipknotmikem]

Why the hell is there are jesus portrait on his backyard door if he's atheist?

[EleanorStokesTV]

@slipknotmikem I was just thinking that too!

[EleanorStokesTV]

@slipknotmikem Wait, maybe his wife is religious.

[l33tg33k]

@slipknotmikem Irony

[Spluzza]

@slipknotmikem For ironic value (shits and giggles)

[1995mousey]

@BballNerd97 i watched that documentary and loved it. it tells you about his wife and there kids and the move to the uk i love it :)



[LilLauraTv]

@1995mousey Where did you see it? I would love to watch it, but I can`t find it. :(

[1995mousey]

@LilLauraTv if you look for rock n roll nerd doc on google you shod find it

[bethanyfaggot1]

Tim minchin is sexy! :D i wish he would sing this song to me *sighs*

[mariejs123]

Was this a clip from a tv show or documentary or something? :)

[JollyHolly1410]

luv the jesus thing in the background lol xD

[bethnee9989]

if you have seen it live, you will realise that its not actually about a tumour! in australia a 'mole' is what guys call their wives, so the tumour just symbolises the wife and he is using it as a similie! its not offensive at all!

[monkeycabbage1]

@bethnee9989 Well said! In a geeky UK culture, my best friend has referred to my ex as "my beard"..... doesn't mean that she was hairy!

[AimBooi]

he sounds realy tired when he talks xD

[albelcrowley]

Haha, this is so beautiful! :D

[simplerachel11]

Sensuality. That is. Thank you Tim Minchin. The world is beautiful because of you.

[Jessmo198]

Tim Minchin is too cute.

[Voirreyyy]

awww. beautiful <3

[jessicaharkin]

It's amazing what you see if you look I saw a cactus with arms and legs elvis with the gold suit and a Jesus door thing why he's atheist? :P

[Mejse10]

Beautiful song - who else could compare love to life-threatening diseases and actually make it romantic?

I enjoyed seeing him without his 'on-stage image', too - how in the world did you get your hands on this lovely video?

[DifferentGirl3]

@Mejse10 It's from the doco. Rock 'n' Roll Nerd :D

[Mejse10]

@DifferentGirl3 Ah... Cool :D

[aims821]

he's even more sensational.. freshly showered with the specs on!

[CharliiDawn]

@aims821 He's gorgeous!!! <3

[InertiaCreeps100]

I LOVE the beady Jesus curtain behind him. I wonder where I could get one from?

Oh, and the song's pretty good too. ;)

[RhysMossop]

how did you get hold of this video haha?

[mattyhu23]

I love how Jesus is in the background :L

[444malefic]

i love him, just love him

[agateneko]

I chose this song for my wedding song!

[vdubmusicmonster]

why has tim got a picture of him sef in the background ;) *wink wink*

JK tims god...

[HopetheDrag]

love <3

[gamesfrome]

I miss the applause :\

I love this song!

[dbdeg88]

If I ever get married, I would seriously consider choosing this as my wedding song.

[someguy138]

Tim, there's a Jesus behind you!

[vdubmusicmonster]

@someguy138 TIM IS JESUS jk... HES GOD !!!!!

[Crunchy68]

@someguy138 That's not a Jesus. That's a picture of Tim!

[GravoGaming]

@someguy138 Jesus, there's a Tim in front of you!

[MultiMelissa10]

Tim Minchin, you sexy bastard!

[Muglez14]

@vsminimoose Except he's funny and less unnecessarily flamboyant.

[pibolar]

oh you brilliant, brilliant man!

[kbdontfucwithme]

i realy love this song, he is amazing =)

[SuperBwen]

0.41 WTF is that lying on the piano?? LMAO he is actually hilarious :) i love his song about canvas bags :L

[a2zdiy]

Thanks for posting this - It is wonderful to be able to hear how he developed the song, from this 'infancy' level performance, on up to the bombastically grandiose presentation of this tune we hear on his own channel, from a later concert.

watch?v=frNpdG4F9mw

His singing from 3:17 in that video is comparable in emotive power to Jimi's opening salvo in his 2nd solo in Machine Gun from the Band of Gypsies album - some of the great musical moments of all time.

[CaptainCosmic]

I like the fact that he actually dresses remarkably normally and that his whole get up is part of his act.

[TheGreenDayBoy9]

does anyone know where tim lives in london?

[kelseyhm]

@TheGreenDayBoy9 That's not creepy....

[Bak3dB3an]

disturbing yet romantic.

[VampiricReflection]

This is brilliant! Although he often says how stupid religion is and God and stuffs, he has Jesus door beads? What? Haha Anyway. His hair looks different like this. Loving this video. My favourite song of his. Tim is A genius!

[ifeelyummers]

@VampiricReflection lol i thought the same thing with the jesus door. i think he just might like the fact that every time he walks through it he's ripping jesus apart. lol

[VampiricReflection]

@ifeelyummers Ha! That does sound fun!

[frostyboots]

Hey tim, i loved your so f***king rock dvd. i bought tickets to the o2 on the 18th in london but i couldnt get flights out of ireland. guess i'll have to wait till you come back. your new dvd is my christmas present this year. i love your stuff. please keep it up

[zcrad22]

How can you NOT like this!? Easy, by LOVING it. Fact. End of.

[2341NoGood]

two people are idiots. this song is so MAS!!!!!

[aaronrushton1]

you see the dude in the background at 0:16 he dosent come anywhere near the level that tims at. god he's so awesome i sometimes need to change my pants after litsening to him.

[MilesDillon]

Sounds a bit like part of octavarium. This makes it even better.

[000ashleemee000]

He has the religious beads in the background so he can mock them in his spare time.. DUH! xD

[lissyfield]

Tim Minchin, you are amazing. You could sing to me any day. Your lyrics along with your musical ability are fantastic. You grew on me <3

[rawrimarabbit]

this is the kind of love song every girl wants written about them <3

[Sahshagirl09]

Tim Minchin is Atheist, yet that seemed like a religious door bead thing hanging in the back ground...

[filmwelder]

@Sahshagirl09 yes thats mockery

[DifferentGirl3]

@filmwelder I reckon it's also genius. I want to buy a purple sparkley Jesus for Christmas.

[Sahshagirl09]

@filmwelder I thought it might have been him trying to force the religion to lose its power by just using there symbols with out the meanings attached to them, rendering there rhetoric meaningless in the long term.

[QAZRUS]

thats just me or jesus on the background ?

[JungleVipRS]

@QAZRUS I think it's irony.

[dannyheijnen]

@JungleVipRS I think he meant foreground ;)

[JungleVipRS]

@dannyheijnen Tim is a diety, not Jesus.

[aboutagirl24]

This is my fave song full stop. Not just my fave one of his. I'm also not afraid to sat i have a massive crush on him ;) Shame he loves his wife so much lol

[viziermoo]

It's official. All of the good song ideas have been taken.

[Canaanabolaanan]

@viziermoo Oh noes. Now what is he going to write about?

[jeniwren1994magic]

I love his songs! He is amazing and I wish I could play piano as well as he does one day lol which will probebly be never, he is so good! Great piano, great voice, great lyrics...amazing!! Can't wait to see him live omg going to be great!!! <3

[mooxim]

really interesting to hear it in it's earlier incarnation. If I had heard this first I couldn't have imagined how to make it better.

[kidneeboiis]

Wow... just wow.

[RowanFN1]

Love the way he has Jesus beads in the background for being such a 'Religious' guy lol

[bluedawng]

I've had 3 immediate members from both sides of my family die from cancer including my Dad, but this is the most beautiful love song i've ever heard, i love Tim always liked his song's this is definately one my favorite love songs of all time, anyone who thinks he is taking the piss needs to grow up and listen to the lyrics again and feel the sentiment behind them. Proud you live in the U.K dudey. x

[gismo343]

i dont like him without his contact lenses =[

awesome song though =D =D absolutely brilliant lyrocs

[bailersss]

i think this starts out hilarious, but it turns into a proper love song. it's a great great song.

[MrMet1998]

how is this man so good at what he does? he is amazing 

[xsash94]

It's strange to see him looking so normal, without make-up etc.

[888kharn]

@xsash94 and with glasses as well

[TheCarnun]

@9louise4

Maybe it is so that he can smash trough it everytime he walks through the door???

[j3zza]

@TheCarnun hahahahaha that's hilarious

[ASD31415]

Wow

[ifeelyourfever]

I love this. What a fantastic guy.

[tinkob]

Is this taken from Rock and Roll nerd, the documentry about his rise to notartity? i think I remember seeing it.

[KilledByShoes]

I want to touch his hair.

[snowgoose92]

why is jesus in the backround in an sketist home? :) lol

[MJlover3307]

love the jesus curtain

mum is getting a door curtain for the laundry so im going to try to convince her to get a jesus curtain

[MrWriter2991]

this song is ridiculously clever, twisted sarcatically mocking brilliance that is so beautiful it actually brings a tear to the eye

[SugarlumpMountain]

I've had a tumour - I don't find it offensive at all, how can it be?

I think it's actually a really lovely song (:

[gamesfrome]

@SugarlumpMountain For a moment i thought you meant a girlfriend/boyfriend :P

[LarsDragonbeard]

@SugarlumpMountain I've had a very good friend die from malignant melanoma last year. He was 25. Thing is that a song like this might stir up painful memories, but it's the analogy that's supposed to be funny, not the disease itself...

[AtramentaceousDave]

@LarsDragonbeard Well Said, You Hit The Nail On The Head :)

[SugarlumpMountain]

@LarsDragonbeard I agree, but I was referring to people proclaiming this song to be 'offensive'. To class bringing up painful memories (as, say, pencil they once used might) as 'offensive' would be misunderstanding the definition. I hope you're ok. x

[plzHOLDtheLINE]

I take it the Jesus curtain is meant to be ironic? :P haha I love his dark/skeptic sense of humour :')

[DickDivers]

This bloke is a genious.

[cheapshotdrummer]

It's such a sweet song... even though the lyrics are kinda twisted :p I think I'm NOT gonna sing one to my girlfriend, may portrait the wrong image xD

[melancholyangelfish]

i`m not afraid to say it

i have a crush on tim minchin i love him

[luckky1811]

@melancholyangelfish u aint the only one with a crush on him, hes so cute and totally gifted. Sarah is a VERY lucky woman, but I agree with you hunnie.x

[juutje40]

@melancholyangelfish and your not the only one ;)

[gothicmaniac57]

ummm, wow, the athiest with a jesus curtain behind him????? BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[subgay]

@gothicmaniac57 I wouldn't be surprised if it is so he can walk though him or push him aside every time he heads to the kitchen.

[xXFallenAngelThiaXx]

Tim Minchin's songs make me smile when I've had a bad day. :3

[MJlover3307]

am i the only one who prefers this over the live performance??

love u tim keep up the good work

[CodeMonkeyGurl]

@MJlover3307

The 2 versions give 2 different feelings. My favorite is the live performance, but this one is calm, relaxing and down to earth. Both great, depends on what mood you are in.

[MJlover3307]

@CodeMonkeyGurl i agree, they are both great, this one is more calm and relaxing but i cant say 'i agree' that it depends on your mood but i guess im always in the same mood when im watching tim

[Theedeniser323]

@CodeMonkeyGurl Can you really have a down to earth Tim Minchin song? lol

[odel0022]

@9louise4 I found this same curtain online. I had to buy it!
