At its heart, the track is a wry and quietly romantic ode to loving someone exactly as they are, quirks, contradictions and all. With lines like “*I wouldn’t like you if you weren’t like you*,” Minchin delivers a love song that’s both offbeat and sincere, playfully rejecting perfection in favour of authenticity. It’s equal parts dry humour and heartfelt truth, wrapped in a deceptively simple melody that swells with feeling as the track evolves.  **Tim Minchin** said: “*Of all the tunes on this record that have been reinvented, this one has had the most successful vibe update. I always thought this was a keeper, but now with Evan’s loping groove, and the pure undeniable jank of Jak’s guitar in the chorus… I love it*.”  The track adds a new layer to the growing portrait painted by ***TimMinchinTimeMachine***, a curated **anthology of previously unreleased material**. This **collection of 11 songs**offers a glimpse into the mind of the songwriter Tim was before global acclaim, showcasing a raw, witty, and deeply human side of his artistry. The album follows **Minchin**’s critically acclaimed 2020 studio debut ***Apart Together***, which earned **four stars from The Independent**, hailed as “*a tenderly considered pop album that subverts expectations*.” **Pre-order *****TimMinchinTimeMachine***** ****[HERE](https://scrabblepr.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=4794fdce89f5a4d847d12131f&id=78f49e6218&e=516daed6c2)****.** In parallel with the album rollout, **Minchin **kicked off his brand-new live tour, ***Songs The World Will Never Hear***, last night at Soho Theatre Walthamstow.
