This does only work with an audience above a certain level of integrity. Unfortunately some people don't realise that they: clap off-beat, standing in the way, being a nuisance to others, .... Luckily I think those people who enjoy Tim Minchin are usually above that level :) Tim in general has a quite high standard when it comes to his lyrics, music, topics and jokes. That's why he's such an amazing artist.

Tim actually considers himself really lucky and has had a very privileged life. His "pain" is mostly just him mocking grunge music. He is also an actor and he is bringing all his skills into one performance. That's why he has to settle for something trivial like "daddy never came to my ball games" to draw his emotion from. He played sports multiple times a week and his dad is a surgeon. Lol. If you want some context for this performance, watch him perform Rock and Roll Nerd.

What's the most impressive thing is that he's not had any formal training on the piano. He had a few lessons when he was a kid but is mostly self taught. He describes himself as a "hack pianist" which basically he admits not really knowing anything formally but just picking it up as he goes along. There's a lot of discussion in the music community whether he's actually any 'good' at piano, but I think he's absolutely incredible.

Trying a new piece in a small venue actually has relatively low risk. Worst case scenario a few people walk out.

After some heavy cajoling from my colleague who happens to be a relative of his, he got on the piano and we all had a bit of a jam. People would just start singing jazz standards and the like and he would immediately start playing/singing and improvising on the pieces. I started in with some Moondance and he improved and scatted along and it was just fun as hell. Having been a fan of his for over a decade, it was definitely a wonderful moment for me.

Always been astounded by Tim Minchin's ability and Talent... but holy shite, seeing what he is doing on a Score... WOW

@PianoDiary85 2 ай бұрын

Bit of back story: This is a comment on Tim's struggle to enter the music industry in the 90s when depressed sounding grunge bands were popular. Tim considers himself super lucky in life so struggles to relate to that kind of music (his song Rock and Roll Nerd is good context for this song 🙂). Tim is also an actor so this is him rolling his skills together. Lol. DADDY NEVER CAME TO MY BALL GAMES 😭😭😭.

He sang this song in dublin recently for the encore(i know i lost my mind) but at 8:46 he then transitioned into white wine in the sun and it was so damn beautiful

I need to get back into playing piano, and I can tell you that many (if not most) people can’t just play by ear. To be able to play by ear takes having a musical propensity and then learning to use some kind of instrument (even learning to use one’s vocal chords) to get just a sense of the notes that you might hear.
