Maggie was his next door neighbour when he was a child in Scotland.
She was a strong girl, as he said "First you beat me up, Then you kissed me too"
Unfortunatley when Colin Hay tryed to find her, He spoke to her mother and she had announced Maggie had died years ago. He was so shocked. He said this is the only song he has ever done that made him actually cry whislt writing it.
Es ist ein unbeschreiblich schönes Lied und zeigt nur, dass Colin Hay zu den größten Musikern der Welt zählt ..... leider viel zu selten im Radio gespielt ....... Thanks for this fantastic Song !!!!
I know another tht would probs make u cry, its by Colin Hay too. Its called 'i just don't think i'll ever get over you' It might even b about the same person as this song
I saw him perform this last night at the majestic theater in madison wisconsin... not only is he a fantastic songwriter, his vocal range is freaking unreal!!!
this the firs time i listen 2 this song and i cant stop listening i love its just beautyfullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, that's Audrey Hepburn... I just wanted a pretty young face to represent Maggie... and there's lots of pictures of her on the 'net. She was a classy lady!

This song is so sad.
But, I am wondering if Maggie was someone he actually knew, or what? D:
