Tim Minchin: Not Perfect

[pvpfiish]

This song always makes me cry and makes me realise how beautiful we all are

[lolitots1]

what was that? subscribe and this will go away? so can i not just click the lil 'x'? D: FUCK?!?! XD 

[lepermaggot]

33 people are perfect

[tjigg]

@mhwdrj Are you aware that you can disable annotations? lol

I know, it's incredible. It takes almost two seconds to do. It's time consuming, but it fucking works.

[aSliverofsanity]

I think my heart is bleeding.......No seriously....Call 911....

[freezegrrl88]

I like this song. It made me realize that we don't appreciate the little things in life. No matter how big or small we can't just hate everything. The little imperfections just make every thing even more perfect.

[xXvampiremadXx]

beautiful...

is he crying at the end?

[Dimloep]

Hadn't listened to this song in a long time. It's so beautiful. Thank you, Tim.

[93alvbjo]

i so wanted him to sing with the brain "but it's me"

[Bright1592]

This song is rhetorically anticlimactic...Just thought I'd point that out.

Oh! And he has a beautiful voice!

[MrShadowdeth]

this sounds a lot like "white wine in the sun"

both beautiful songs but this one is actually funny

[artk1ng]

My favourite part is what he says about his body, how he spends so much time hating it but it never says a bad thing about him...great!

[TheAidybob]

32 people arnt perfect.

[carnivoriousleaf]

@TheAidybob

No they are the perfect ones, sad fellows.

[sfdickens]

One of Tim's finest. This song always moves me and makes me feel better about my life - it's not perfect, but it's mine.

[mrgerardwaysgirl]

this genuinely moved me, I think it opitimises exactly human nature as a whole. well, the decent people.

[Resolt2243]

apparently 32 people think they are perfect

[racheygriff96]

"this is a song about that feeling that I think we all get sometimes... where you feel like you're the smallest doll in a babushka doll."

[mcmouse091]

Why would anyone dislike this. lol

[LadyOpenshaw]

I love Tim's funny songs, but I love his more serious songs even more, like this and White Wine in the Sun.

He's just such a brilliant musician.

[WyndWalker02]

To prevent anyone else from being tricked into watching the P.O.S., the annotation saying it's linked to Tim singing with Black Eyed Peas is a lie. It's a link to some lame and badly done parody song, with no Tim Minchin.

[helldeathray]

That song is brill and would watch it all the time if I could!!!

[TheDRqwerty]

It was...

[doddlecuddle]

I love this guy!

[JDaviesish]

the transition from humour to sincerity in the last verse about his brain genuinely moved me, how he does this i'll never know

[edob01]

Stunning! I'm convinced this guy is a genius.

[darris321]

"turn off annotations and this will go" lol

[LeverneBredosian]

this makes me cry

[donaldjohn123]

I think i'v just learned to love myself.

[Discipol]

@donaldjohn123 I love yourself too.

[AntiBann71]

Love this song !!!!!!!

[glich86]

Can you really listen to any music after litening to this?

[subgay]

@glich86 I can........ but I think its called repeating.

[RSHigherDevotion]

@glich86 ofc you can! you can listen to it again! xD

[mizukokatajii]

i'm sure it's been pointed out, but i might as well beat a dead horse:

'click here to here Tim Minchin...'

:3

Beating that horse hoarse.

[SleepHollowing]

I f**king unsubscribed because of the 'Subscribe and this will go.'

[doodlecool]

My idol <3

[FlammableToaster]

@jbrisby

Yeah I heard it the other week, but I have to say the orchistra didn't ruin any of his songs, including this one.

[jbrisby]

Have you heard it on his orchestra tour? It's so sad to see such an intimate and moving song ruined with a big orchestral arrangement.

[HarakMolova]

@jbrisby

At the Royal Albert Hall, he had his Orchestra. He played this, and then straight afterwards, White Wine in the Sun. I cried.

[Nahasapasa]

Is there an updated version of this song?

[uberarticuno]

@Nahasapasa Updated how?

[Nahasapasa]

@uberarticuno well this was back when Johnny was PM

[S2Ever]

i cry now

[DMCnoob11]

How can something make me flit between being deeply moved and LMAO-ing so many times in 7 minutes? So good!

[SuchisSinful]

@DMCnoob11 It's Tim minchin. That's how. ;)

[EbonyFaery]

Makes me cry.

[Ivansama94]

@LithiumPocketwatch Tim often changes up his lyrics. it'll probably be ok

[Frostergud]

i love this song.. the verse about his body is perfect! i only have one breast, and i'm born with it, and whenever i feel sad i listen to this song. a lot of people have it worse than me <3

[jbrisby]

@Frostergud Remember, the average human has one breast and half a dick.

[ProoMaaaas]

@jbrisby

Only if you count women as humans, which in itself, is logical contradiction.

[TheRealBarnez]

@jbrisby not quite. That ignores manboobs, prepubescent/flat-chested girls, castrate, etc. Not to mention that not 50% of the population is male and 50% female.

[Sahshagirl09]

there is an x in the corner of subscribe and this will go... click it...

[Azybee]

@Sahshagirl09 It went away by itself on mine lolz

[bgdretti]

errr.. i am subscribed, and it's still there.. i subscribed cuz i love tim michin.. but i'm unsubscribed now... how utterly untimlike of you

[curriedpopcorn]

"Subscribe and this will go" or click the annotations button ;) Good vid. i love tim. But.. Thats not going to make people subscribe.. its less likely to get you subs cause your pissing people off ^^

[myg0tpurepunk]

You want subscribers for uploading someone elses music while your bored? Get the fuck out of here.

[sarkasmi83]

Wow, a song that actually first made me think about the world and it's flaws, then accept it, then made me think about my house, it's flaws and accept em, my body, it's flaws, then appreciate it being mine and then accept my brain and myself...

And by the time I had gone through that process, I pretty much had a tear rolling down my cheeck, though smiling.

Wtf, this man is brilliant.

[sarkasmi83]

@Flextaa Yeah, true. I did mean the people that fill the world when talking about "what's wrong with the world" ... as yeah, there's nothing wrong with the PLANET or the universe :)

[lisahill619]

@sarkasmi83 exactly the same with me <3

[GhonnathanKSB]

@sarkasmi83 I can relate sarkasmi 100%

[PlayMadness]

This is incredible. It's a comedy song, but it speaks of a lot of personal issues that are difficult to write about. I was especially impressed by the line, "I spend so much time hating it, but it never says a bad word about me." It takes a lot of bravery to write something like that, especially in a "funny" song.

[XoxKissOnTheLipsxoX]

This is such an amazing song... it makes me laugh at cry at the same time. How he does it i'll never know.

Did he have tears in his eyes? just wondering.. :)

ILoveTimMinchin

[wigster1978]

Karl Pilkington has a head like a fucking orange.

[xperfectmessxx]

23 people often feel like the smallest doll in a babushka doll

[sbagg88]

Awesome song! The downside is that you have to start cashing the checks you wrote with your body when you were in your 20's when ya hit about 40. I'm hear to tell ya, it hurts, and it's not pretty!!!!!!!

[sbagg88]

Awesome song! The downside is that you have to start cashing the checks you wrote with your body when ya hit about 40. I'm hear to tell ya, it hurts, and it's not pretty!!!!!!!

[fukitall95]

Tim minchin is an absolute genius love this song its so beautiful :')

[startwithridiculous]

This song makes me laugh hysterically and cry silently at the same time. I really don't know how he does it.

[vdubmusicmonster]

wow. this is actualy beautiful for a comedian :)

[VirtusOfANex]

I like that he put the subscribe thing. He's a comedian song writer. Have a sense of humor.

[filmwelder]

@VirtusOfANex he didnt though, this isnt tim minchins channel...

[nightwrighterBLSBBMg]

I love this song, it's so sweet, almost to the point of naive. IN A GOOD WAY, I must say. =]

Me and my friends are performing this soon - they're singing a duet and I'm playing the piano accompaniment, I'm so excited!!! XD

[bevjohnson73]

this is one of my favourites, but my all time number one is White wine in the sun. Such gorgeous lyrics.

[Oxyster7]

beautiful



[Das0s]

Oh this has to be one of my favourites

[Rizzle600]

In a really Happy Mood:D

[aboutagirl24]

what i love about Tim's stuff in general is that even though it's funny i am in awe of him as a lyrisist and a vocalist. I'm a singer/songwriter and i envy his musical talent. Also i can be laughing one minute and have a tear in my eye the next moment. This song in a perfect example as is "you grew on me like a tumer" I'd have that as the first dance at y wedding :)

[farkquad]

Honestly this is the song that relates to everything i am, its like wish there was something else but at the same time love what you have and what you are. Its one of those few things that make you remember exactly whats important to you, it doesnt have to be great, just live and make everything better one step at a time.

[shenboi]

its so IRONIC

[shenboi]

its not perfect.. but its mind

[pete9490]

Dear God, stop with the "29 people do something something.." crap!... We get it, you want thumbs ups!

[PlzHelpwithname]

@pete9490 dear Pete, god dont give a fuck what you say :D

[pete9490]

@PlzHelpwithname I AM God O:

[tonythemudcrab]

19 people are not perfect

[lizmac63]

Tim Minchin = perfect

[AussieMusicRocks]

I am not worthy. Tim you make me think on a whole new level. I am not worthy.

[rollandrip]

ironic....

this song IS perfect....

[Nolansykinsley]

Why the fuck are people so goddam obsessed with getting subscribers!?!?

[carnos6]

How can you write a song thats so deep and at the same time funny as hell!

Pure genius!

[daeamarth]

A joke of seriousness. Perfect.

[WattyRev]

Please take off the stupid video annotations. They ruin a fantastic video.

[download333]

@WattyRev Okay. To everybody complaining about the annotations:

You can turn them off!

Click the little button that looks like a speech bubble!

[zinniafairy2]

@download333 Yes, but it's not the point.

[ekett1]

@download333 But it is still annoying

Thanks Anyway

[andmarikis]

@download333 You sir, are magic.

[tikifreakazoid]

@download333 What?

*Clicks Button*

WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT BLACK MAGIC IS THIS

[dopewithabass]

@WattyRev Just turn them off yourself, click the speech bubble

[blissfully333]

how brilliant, the way in which he delivers the music and vocal style to add gravitas to whatever he's saying. I believe he could sing any chaotic lyrics and create a religion around it. How fortunate are we to have access to Mr Minchin and Jonathon Swift?!

[MrWiseguyNL]

Good to see that there are still geniously performers

[IndiconsGaming]

I love the fact you can turn captions off :P so all that "Subscribe and this will go" shit doesn't even appear :D

[Cybaria]

@IndiconsGaming Haha, I know, I was just about to say the exact same thing, lol.

[LostBehindMySmile]

Love how this song speaks truth but is funny at the same time :-)

[LostBehindMySmile]

Really like this :-)

[jellodk]

humorous and serious at the same time. one of my favorites by tim. the audience seems unsure when to laugh, which means it hit the mark.

[wickednesspluss]

or i could just press the button tat makes it go away

[ZacP2]

I find it amazing how he can get such great messages in his songs and it still be funny, he is a very talented man.

[khupido1n2]

I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE TIM MINCHIN!

[gothicphilosopher]

what the FUCK ? "subscribe and this will go" ???

what is the world coming to ? Subscribe, and I'll stop being childish and annoy you ?? Fuck off.

[PonyQueenChelle]

@gothicphilosopher I agree that tactic is especially annoying, but you can get rid of the message without subscribing by clicking the captions icon just to the left of the "pop out" icon. You may have already know that, though.

[umbc91]

@gothicphilosopher or just turn off annotations and it will also go.

[gothicphilosopher]

I'm a HUGE fan. What a guy.

[mansonsgirl100]

tim is so frickin hilarious lol love yaaa tim

[sheaj34]

It annoys me that people laugh during this because unlike his other comedy songs, this is actually really deep and poignant. You can see how much it means to him when his eyes water and he nearly cries. It's such a moving song, I Love Tim Minchin!

[PianoWireAbortion]

@sheaj34 if you listen to the lyrics, there's plenty of jokes in there so people can laugh to avoid it getting too serious while keeping its meaning.

[rolotomassi78]

I like guns and falling in love.

[Flannahz]

Don't care how long it takes me, I am going to learn to play this.

[lordabomity]

Tim was happy to hear "Tim Minchin, rock god" =D

[twig259]

My son sang a version of this...slightly tweaked to fit himself...at his last school performance..and it went down a storm..great song, Tim!

[clairegrant05]

hes hilarious!

i love his voice tho and i wish hed do serious music.. he would b amazing! sounds a bit like james blunt

[SpiralOfWhite]

Been listening this a few times a day for a few days now. Cheers me up. I love moment 5:41

[luvmyMCR4evaxx]

he is absolutely beautiful, in every single sense of the word.

[KittyCatty93]

Tim Minchin=LOVE :D

[iseeredpeoples]

i lovewhen tim does songs like this and people giggle at bits in it because they feel they " should laugh at the funny man" even thou its just a poem to piano- like white win in the sun ect. wonderful heart felt words

[fifilulabell]

when you feel like you're the smallest doll in a babushka doll!!!

i love tim minchin!!! xxx

[humanator1000]

love this song it makes me feel good :D

[horsemouth53]

95000 measly views . tim minchins talent should be world renowned . shame on those looking at bumbaclaat videos.

[Crazylizard100]

Tim is god

[phlexonance]

that was truly beautiful

[zeomatrix3]

"turns off notifications" ahhh thats better

[TheEternallySleeping]

Just...<3

Go Tim! ^_^

[jalfrezes]

i love how his eyes kinda glaze over whilst singing it :)

[Mawgbot]

@jalfrezes Towards the end, the verse about his brain, it almost looks as though he's getting a bit teary - particularly with the "God forbid I hurt somebody" line. Always makes me a bit "Oh-there's-something-in-my-ey­e".

[SkylerFallow]

Tim has written, in my opinion, three of the most beautiful songs I can think of, out of all the music I've ever heard: Not Perfect, Drowned, and (imo the best of all) You Grew On Me. How is a world where one person can come up with three songs of that calibre at all fair? When you factor in his lyrical genius, it makes you want to cry. With happiness.

[MrItro]

@SkylerFallow

ithink rock and roll nerd is one of his best

[SkylerFallow]

@MrItro Heheh, I couldn't possibly choose one song to call his best - I was really only commenting on the 'ballad'-type songs then, and mostly just on the music and tune of them. Many of his other songs (and poems) are beautiful lyrically as well, but if I were to go into that... well I might look obsessive and slightly creepy, so it is perhaps best if I don't!

[sisterloki]

Thanks for sharing, loved the song - but any chance of not using the annoying bubbles? Thanks.

[MJlover3307]

great vid love ur work tim keep it up

btw y did it say 'that was a joke' that ruend the joke for me

[900Bail]

if anyone dislikes this song hit your self in the head

[Anniej15]

NICE!:D

[gavi6783]

Very Talented - Great Voice and certainly brings insight! I’m reminded of what Paul wrote in the book of Romans – There is no one perfect, no not one. He describes our human state very well.

Isn't it great, there is One who is perfect? I love the verse in Deut 32:4 Ascribe greatness to our God, He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are justice, a God of Truth without iniquity, just and Right is He.

[jursle]

@gavi6783 You do realize Tim himself would facepalm you for this kind of ignorance?

[int3rl0per]

@gavi6783 Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyneself.

[Spectic]

@gavi6783 You need to listen to his song "If you open your mind too much your brain will fall out".

You'd probably change your mind on how much insight he gives.

[RandomObsessiveGirl]

@gavi6783 LOL my friend it's nice that you have a religion but you couldnt hav chosen a worse place to share it :L

R u familiar with Tim's ohter work? I'd look up ten foot cock and a few hundred virgins if i were you. Might show u how I doubt he's meaning to resonate with the bible. In fact the idea might make him ill (also youtube-preaching will get you troll'd. Just sayin')

[TheBoredGeorge]

@gavi6783 rofl, you had me confused there for a second. I though you ment Paul the host of the show at the end of the vid.

I was like wtf? when did Paulie write that tripe!

Took me a few seconds to realise you where just another internet bible basher.

[Elechte]

@TheBoredGeorge I actually don't think he's a basher, he seems to sincerely believe what he wrote. I still gave him a thumbs up though, just for the hell of it(and for making me realize ignorance still exists).

[TheBoredGeorge]

@Elechte I agree.

I have no doubt he belives it.

He still shoved it down our throughts tho.

[carladraw]

@gavi6783 you know Tim is anti bible stuff

[Naybanger]

@gavi6783 You sir are deluded...

[RandomObsessiveGirl]

so nice <3

Love it :)

[carladraw]

Where is the love button for this song I could listen to it over and over again it's that beautiful

[CMRage]

Ok that's just rude. Adding a link message to see tim and black eyed peas.. then make it a PRIVATE video!.. grrr that's so wrong!

[kky2kgod]

i'm like.. falling in love with this guy, more i watch his videos, the more amazing he seems

[tediouscountry]

Have nothing but admiration for this man. Poignant, yet at the same time so gut-wrenchingly funny :) Australia's gift to the word ,and woah do we love him!

[Helena74]

@tediouscountry

Absolutely....A perfect beautiful genius sent from the land down under! <3

[Andreazor]

Bloody great song!

[PidgeonSprout]

first time i watched this, i felt like shit - cheered me up so much <3

[dan2050]

Hate it when that knob at the end say's "rock god". tim is a humorist, excellent pianist funny bloke, brilliant Lyricist and legend. Love this

[JacobP2008]

The Earth is not 2/3 water. That is only the surface.

[WilliamsonsLaw]

@JacobP2008 I bet he knows that, but it would kill the verse by singing that it's about 1% water xD

[pugsley11889]

@JacobP2008 r u really arguing science with a song

[niteeee]

@JacobP2008

I believe he IS talking about the surface... I mean... it's where he lives in... lol

[JacobP2008]

@niteeee You live on the surface- not in. And yea, I get that it's just a song, but dumb mistake.

[niteeee]

@JacobP2008

Forgive me for my grammatical errors... english is not my native language.
