I love that when he played guitar but didn't have another verse, I was once again fooled by a pattern.
-
This is so good.

I’ve had this recording in my files for a while, with a vague thought that one day I might try to record a better version before posting it more publicly. Well, it's now been three years, and the raw live version seems more fun anyway, so I figured hey, why not! For any of you who want to dig into the math, there's a full video for each verse: Circle division: https://youtu.be/YtkIWDE36qU The integrals: https://youtu.be/851U557j6HE Primes in base 4: https://youtu.be/jhObLT1Lrfo

It is legally required to have at least 1 Matt Parker on screen when making a semi-serious math video involving patterns that are almost complete.
-
Brings a whole new meaning to "chord progression".
-
There's something about 3B1B's edifying manner of speech that had me sincerely confused about whether or not he was joking for a lot longer than I'd care to admit.
-
Grant turned an sorrowful lament about love and loss into a sorrowful lament about love and loss. Truly inspirational!
-
I’ve played hallelujah on guitar for years, it’s cool to know the history behind it.
-
"When your faith is strong, you still need proof" I see what you did there
-
Damn knowing that Grant can sing, is like unlocking a new part of 3b1b lore!
-
Honestly the most impressive thing is how you hold the chords out through the laughter, pausing the vocals until the crowd quiets down, without losing the beat
-
Brilliant accompaniment by Matt. As an instrument, Keynote can be a bit bland and mechanical, but Matt brings a lot of emotion out of it in this performance.

Although none of them were about mathematical patterns, Cohen really did write dozens of versions of 🎵Hallelujah🎵, with about a hundred verses in total. The Shrek version is a cover by John Cale (from 10 years before the movie), who chose the verses he liked the most from a huge list that Cohen gave him.

I thought this was gonna be cringy, but omg I love that song
-
As a musician and long-ago math major, I am laughing so hard I'm crying. Thanks for making my day.
-
Love to see a song about math by a non-professional singer that actually has no cringy vibe and is in fact absolutely hilarious.
-
Yes!!!! Finally this is publicly shareable! I've loved this for years and wanted to show everyone but couldn't!
-
I love how close it is to the original lyrics. This isn't a parody; it's how it should have been all along!
-
Ah, a lecturer with 3B1B's voice 😂 3:45 you could have said "you might expect another verse, but that's not the case, the pattern fooled ya.
-
I never thought about hearing grant sing, but omg your singing voice is amazing
