- Things take an unexpected turn during Tim Minchin’s haunting performance of Neil Finn’s ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’ with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Visit www.mndaustralia.org.au to donate.
A powerful analogy placing a spotlight on the debilitating nature of Motor Neurone Disease (MND), and the most inspiring video you'll watch today. Donate now to contribute to research & care and help support the worldwide fight to end ALS/MND. Until we have a cure, today and every day, two Australians will die with MND.
I can't get enough of this. The metaphor of the orchestral dissonance in the first part, the fade, Tim's gorgeous vocal............sublime. Even his quick sideways glance at some feedback, briefly annoyed at the marring of his goal of a perfect performance. What a lovely human.
Or was it feedback? Purposeful?
My son Jody died 4 years ago of MND … it is the most horrifically heartbreaking terminal disease.💛🤍 🕊 hearts are broken 💔
I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful child 💔

I am so Sorry to hear that. hope you recover!
@@trywashere8218 My heart will always be broken 💔
Unbelievably good cause and well played. But when will they stop autotuning beautiful voices like Tim's? Imperfection is beauty.
Heard for the first time today - this morning. I sobbed on the way to work and I’ve listened to it multiple times and cried each and every time. When I’m paid after this week everything not budgeted I’ll donate for this amazing song. 2 year late to the party but it’s amazing and clever and illustrative.
Shut up and take my money.
Paid as promised - it’s not much but it’s all I can spare.
Haunting and beautiful. Needs more views!!!
I love Tim Minchin and I love this version. 😍😍
This video moved me to tears.. 😢
Donated! Thank you for this very moving performance.
Brett is in the orchestra!!! (from twoset)
Lol I noticed him as well! At first I thought wait is that Brett and it is really him! Two of my favorite musicians🥰
Can we get this on itunes or similar? Record sales could raise a fortune!
Absolutely stunning 🖤
Beautifully done! Bravo!
Brilliant!
I spot brett
Really amazing work. Dontated!
Great work by all
Sounds like Myasthenia Gravis disease. My mother has MG and it essentially paralyzes your muscles and since your diaphragm and heart are muscles... yeah.
I'm sorry to hear this. Love to you and your mother.
0:58... the horns are so copulating out of tune it is not funny at all...!!!
Up to 1:20... Sorry, most of the whole orchestra is out of tune. The flutes are abysmal.
I am a degree holding piano tuner with highest degree from the Royal Academy of Music of Sweden, just to pause your knee-jerk reactions.
I simply can't listen more. Sorry.
(The grand is in fairly well tune).
Frank Zappa commented about his use of a Synclavier that after working the the LSO it is no surprise composer prefer computers over the likes of such musicians. This just hurts my ears, however I love Tim and the simple but effective arrangement... an out of tune orchestra is ... well, just painful.
I am so glad someone else picked up on that, Although this song is hauntingly beautiful that 1 second is horrendous bad
I think you may have missed the point of the first bit.
Jacqui Espin I am so glad you put this reply because I had missed the point. It’s the orchestra braking down similar to the effects of mnd. Seems so simple when it’s pointed out
@@pernordin2641 you've totally missed the point. Did you watch the video?
