She became his muse, and more, at an important point in his life. This impacted his life and his music in a huge way. What she does onstage, aside from providing great harmonies, is basically interpretive dance. Much like her relationship with Colin has served as an interpretation of life for him.
I do not wade into Youtube pissing contests. I learned the hard way not to partake, long ago in the days of BBS. I am old. I first saw Colin with MAW in 1983. I then saw him in '07 or '08 touring in suppor of AYLAM. When I first saw Cecilia on stage, like others, I found it distracting. I didn't yet understand the profundity of her relationship with Colin.
A great performance by a master of the art, absolutely outrageous guitar work finger picking and a wonderfully emotive singing style, a true artist. One of the best performances around. When you compare Colin Hay's songs to the amateurish vocals and chord pounding out there by the imatitators and wannabe's it’s clear why Colin is authentic true artist..
this man is doing his own thing(expressing how sees fit, after a big record contact having career). he sings, has an acoustic guitar and back vocal who expresses through dance. dont hate..see how amazing and beautiful this song is..if you stripped the electricity..it would sound just as beuatiful. you can say that for maybe 20 percent of what is on the radio these days.this is talent. this is lasting and timeless.
Love the song, but unfortunately I also find his wife distracting, and it takes so much away from his performance. Also to whoever said Colin wasn't married anymore - not sure where you get your information, but I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
I saw him live. That bitch is nothing short of annoying! The band would be FINE without her. Make no mistake, she adds nothing to the band, he's just pussy whipped. It's all good that he loves her but no need to drag her hippie , wanna be musician ass up on stage to ride his coat tails. Colin kicks ass, leave the bitch at home or at least, in the audience.
@TPsynth Glad you like her. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. That's mine. She's annoying and added NOTHING to the performance that I was watching. SHE SUCKS.
Nooooo, I do not like her !! I was asking because I was taking my wife to see him at Sycuan casino this last Friday, and was really hoping she would NOT be there, thankfully she was not.
thats how he performs now..hes doing a story teller tour. i saw him perform this a few years back..i found it nice..i saw him in a less than 100 people crowd so it felt very personal..i like the "storyteller" way for the old timers..if i hear justin timberlake doing it id be pissed lol
@TPsynth Glad you like her. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. That's mine. She's annoying and added NOTHING to the performance that I was watching. SHE SUCKS and so do you.
@breastmeatonly cecelia is very talented. You should check out her videos with her band (something like 14 pieces) which is sensational. She's definitely not a wannabe musician. She is a musician. And you are an idiot.
@breastmeatonly ..actually, I like what Cecilia Noel does when she's with Colin. I believe that she is his wife. She is actually very talented in her own right. You should check her out on youtube. She's very "salsa." I believe her band is around 16 pieces. People who disdain her input on this video are probably not very artistic.
im surethe dancing is beautiful just not my thing its better without the video so i say to those struggling with the dancing lol scoll right down and have a nice day
Saw them both in concert.. and met them afterwords.. and they are wonderful.. and she is a pleasure to visit with.. as well as Colin is. They are one of the most people oriented couples I have ever met in the music business. I would GLADLY spend the time to visit with them again.. and she has such a beautiful voice.. and to all that don't like her I GLADLY say STFU and move on
@Jouwl No, it's that she doesn't really add much to the song. I thought the song worked just fine with solo vocals. Add in her "dancing" and it's.... more distracting.
She's sharing his love of music and his message. i think it was nice of Colin to include her. Why not, thats the woman he loves. It's not for the masses, it's for them.
@ChrisDoll44 Well, that's the problem, Chris. When you perform for an audience, it's for the audience, not a self-indulgent journey for the artist. If they aren't going to cater to their audiences why charge ticket prices for a concert or expect to make a living out of playing for yourself?
@ChrisDoll44 Musicians make music for all kinds of reasons. I'm simply stating if a musician performs for an audience, then it is their job to entertain that audience, not necessarily themselves. Otherwise, a musician could stay home play in front of a mirror and masturbate to their reflection. Performance for others shouldn't be self-indulgent. If it becomes masturbatory it usually is a failure.
@gravelrash73 She's flat in several spots. Sure it happens... but I felt this song was just fine as a solo vocal. Add in her dancing around on top of out of tune harmonies well.... it's just not that effective in my opinion.
I saw Colin and Celia on the Cayamo cruise of 2011. I am an avid fan of Colin Hay; his music and his tenacity are inspiring to any musician. I asked him to sign my guitar, he did so, what a great guy. I admire (and envy) the way he just digs in and pulls out the greatest tunes. Men At Work is passe, (Colin, please forgive me),
but Colin Hay of today is one incredibly talented guy. At the risk of sounding like a groupie, (Always hated that analogy), Colin Hay Rocks, and Celia's vocals are ...WOW!
The funny thing is how confident she is in the dancing. She's like, "Ya I'm stoned and when I dance I look like I'm floating in water. Back off bitches..."
Yeah.. it was in April.. amazing.. and he stays afterward as long as people want to stay and talk.. he signed my guitar and chatted for quite a while.. it was the last stop on his tour. I'm sure when he does his next tour he'll be back this way.. i'll be there for sure!!
The hippi chick is annoying at certain parts. Dedede dededede dede. But helps alot with the majority of the harmonizing. Stick with that and this Fn song will be my ring tone. Good job
He's redone this song several times on various albums, but I believe this is the best version. I konw Cecilia is a bit...odd...but her voice adds just the right touch. Listen to the original on the Topanga album...it's just not as good.
I'm so thankful for you both and this lovely song. Colin I have been learning everyone of your songs, they are so funnily appropriate for me, I adapt a little bit Beautiful World, sailing rather than driving, but everyone says it was like it was written for me. One day I will post it to you. You're wonderful. Thank you so much for taking good care of your spirit. I love this duet.

I saw Colin Hay a year ago and I absolutely loved the first half of the show when it was just him, but then Cecilia joined him and completely ruined it. She is so distracting and takes away from his performance. I literally had to close my eyes while she was on stage.
@kakboy11 --I agree.We saw Colin several years ago in Florida,and we were actually anoyed by her on stage loopiness. Was very distracting to Colin's great voice and lyrics. Also,we were shocked that they both looked like they had dressed in clothes out of the dirty clothes hamper.
OMG I cannot believe these two are married???? I adore Cecilia Noel. I saw her in Hollywood at The Big Potato in the '90's and I think she is enormous talent. Do not judge her by this one performance. Search for her on here doing Slam The Clam, Candela or Dip It and you will have respect. She's awesome.
I love the gestures! This man just keeps getting better. And his wife just enriches the magic.:)) Leave it to Colin what is he in his 60's to find a hot salsa women! Luck people.
SHit, I wish I hadn't looked this up on you tube now. I just heard that voice on the commercial and I hated the song, but I loved the voice so I googled it and low and behold the freaking lead singer on Men At Work, Colin Hay. And I was blown away. His voice made that band, But ewww! He has a such a sexy voice and this blew it for me..and who is that Pocohontas groupie?
@melis0725 This is why you will continue to buy mass produced garbage, and you're better off leaving the music created by musicians (such as Colin) for the rest of us who can appreciate and understand it. :) That Pocahontas groupie is his wife, by the way...Cecilia Noel.
Nice to hear this alternate take on Colin's tune, I love to hear how songs transform with the artist as they age. In the middle her singing reminded just a little bit of the way Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan would play off of Peter Gabriel back in the day.
Love this song!!!!!!! I think his wife adds to it very well. No matter how many times I hear this song, it always brings a tear to my eye. A lot of Colin Hay's songs has that effect on me. If you agree, thumbs up. He's brilliant!!!!!!
I get all the arguments about Cecelia but I suppose, at the end of the day, it's his song and his wife and he can do whatever he wants. She does sing nicely though.
I actually like her expression she is a really good musician and she has a terrific sense of timing. The music flows through her. Who the hell cares what she looks like making it happen.
The beautyf of this song is that the message is a fundamental battle we all have to fight at some point in our lives in order to develop into the full person we can be,
life cannot be waited on, your real life is the one you live while making other plans, and in the end it's true beauty is contained in that very fact, it can be a VERY painful thing to come to terms with though, as I am experiencing.
OMG, people. Open your heads and ears a little. What an amazing voice she has, and such timing!
It's a fantastic song, one that goes to a place most people won't look at too closely, and their abilities as musicians to wind their voices together is impressive.
Colin Hay is under-appreciated, pass this or whichever of his songs that move you along to someone and help him make a good living, if he's changed you.
Musically and/or visually, true artists take us from the ordinary into the ExtraOrdinary. Cecilia's accent to her Husband's song may be weird to some, but you can't deny it's transe like draw and her conviction to the song. As a lifelong 'wannabe musician' , I can only imagine what it must be like to do this, escpecially with your wife!
she helped out on a fair few of his songs incase ye haven't ntoiced... i mean, they might be only minor changes but she is Very musically talented.... if only a bit weird !
for people who don't like her involvement-- as an artist, you would get bored doing the same song, the same way, over and over... so throwing in some vocals and bat-shit crazy dancing = winner.
@stoneydanyahoo - lol beauty of this song is that you don't have to watch the video to enjoy his voice...the song is perfection. but you're right hehe
That girl singing is the best, especially with that hey-look-at-me hula dancing. Reminds me of Linda McCartney. She just needs to get a better guitar player.
The "Yoko" of Australia... But seriously, her voice is just fine, I don't mind it. Just put a refrigerator crate in front of her during the dancing, and we're all set.
This song makes it hard to breath. My heart just wants to explode right out of my chest. I love it, and no matter how fucked up I have let my life become, it gives me hope. I hope I'm not the only one.
this is amazing..by saying life might suck but for him to konw that his
real life is call;ing him and everything in his past is gonna getbetter once that'ship' comes in to get him and he'll be at peace.At least thats what I took from it let me know what you think.ps not looking to get into debted arguments but acctual discussions on his music and get some different takesor oppinions on his songs.
This is a very BEAUTIFUL song and performance! Colin's voice is hauntingly smooth and organic, and Cecilia adds a nice free-spirited vibe. I was touched in my soul by them both. Funny that I would have never heard of the song if not for the new Hertz commercial. I searched and searched until I found the artist. Simply LOVELY!
Performing the song with Cecilia makes the performance special. Her background vocals are good and her vocal flurries between the verses set the stage for Colin's singing during the bridge. She looks at Colin with love and with pride in him and his beautiful song.
She does have a beautiful voice and looks to match just doesn't really match the feeling I get from the song. I think Colin Hay has a great voice because it is so unique and his timing also. Thats what I also like about Men at Work songs.
What a incredible talent. Colin writes the words that your heart feels but your head can't express. A song that makes the world a better place by it's very existence. Thank you Colin.
Gorgeous song from a tremendously gifted song-writer. Drastically ldifferent than the old corporate MEN AT WORK, who gave us some catchy, quirky tunes in the early 80's. To these bozos posting comments, who gives a shit about her hand and body mannerisms, she's got a great voice & she's getting into it. Maybe she had a couple too many coffees, or whatever? U know!!! I can dig it regardless.
I saw Colin for the first time in a few years at this years Byron Bay Blues Fest..he was amazing as always..have just downloaded three of his previous albums. But jeezz..his wife does my head in! Her ridiculous dancing and antics were annoyingly distracting at his live gig.... least she's toned it down in this footage!
Oh well its his show and I guess it must be that love is blind :-D
That's musical genius is what that is. And why complain about Cecilia? Her two-part harmony is perfect! Ah well...

@melis0725 This is why you will continue to buy mass produced garbage, and you're better off leaving the music created by musicians (such as Colin) for the rest of us who can appreciate and understand it. :) That Pocahontas groupie is his wife, by the way...Cecilia Noel.

Nice to hear this alternate take on Colin's tune, I love to hear how songs transform with the artist as they age. In the middle her singing reminded just a little bit of the way Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan would play off of Peter Gabriel back in the day.

Love this song!!!!!!! I think his wife adds to it very well. No matter how many times I hear this song, it always brings a tear to my eye. A lot of Colin Hay's songs has that effect on me. If you agree, thumbs up. He's brilliant!!!!!!

I get all the arguments about Cecelia but I suppose, at the end of the day, it's his song and his wife and he can do whatever he wants. She does sing nicely though.

The beautyf of this song is that the message is a fundamental battle we all have to fight at some point in our lives in order to develop into the full person we can be,
life cannot be waited on, your real life is the one you live while making other plans, and in the end it's true beauty is contained in that very fact, it can be a VERY painful thing to come to terms with though, as I am experiencing.

OMG, people. Open your heads and ears a little. What an amazing voice she has, and such timing!
It's a fantastic song, one that goes to a place most people won't look at too closely, and their abilities as musicians to wind their voices together is impressive.
Colin Hay is under-appreciated, pass this or whichever of his songs that move you along to someone and help him make a good living, if he's changed you.
And keep the kvetching to yourself...

Musically and/or visually, true artists take us from the ordinary into the ExtraOrdinary. Cecilia's accent to her Husband's song may be weird to some, but you can't deny it's transe like draw and her conviction to the song. As a lifelong 'wannabe musician' , I can only imagine what it must be like to do this, escpecially with your wife!

for people who don't like her involvement-- as an artist, you would get bored doing the same song, the same way, over and over... so throwing in some vocals and bat-shit crazy dancing = winner.

Brilliant song and a brilliant performance from one of the more under rated songwriters on the planet. Wow.
Of course, the title of "Indie Music Show" shows how the word 'Indie" has been co-opted by people looking to sell something. Colin Hay is "Indie" ?!?

That girl singing is the best, especially with that hey-look-at-me hula dancing. Reminds me of Linda McCartney. She just needs to get a better guitar player.

The "Yoko" of Australia... But seriously, her voice is just fine, I don't mind it. Just put a refrigerator crate in front of her during the dancing, and we're all set.

This is a very BEAUTIFUL song and performance! Colin's voice is hauntingly smooth and organic, and Cecilia adds a nice free-spirited vibe. I was touched in my soul by them both. Funny that I would have never heard of the song if not for the new Hertz commercial. I searched and searched until I found the artist. Simply LOVELY!

Performing the song with Cecilia makes the performance special. Her background vocals are good and her vocal flurries between the verses set the stage for Colin's singing during the bridge. She looks at Colin with love and with pride in him and his beautiful song.

She does have a beautiful voice and looks to match just doesn't really match the feeling I get from the song. I think Colin Hay has a great voice because it is so unique and his timing also. Thats what I also like about Men at Work songs.

Gorgeous song from a tremendously gifted song-writer. Drastically ldifferent than the old corporate MEN AT WORK, who gave us some catchy, quirky tunes in the early 80's. To these bozos posting comments, who gives a shit about her hand and body mannerisms, she's got a great voice & she's getting into it. Maybe she had a couple too many coffees, or whatever? U know!!! I can dig it regardless.

Her ridiculous dancing and antics were annoyingly distracting at his live gig.... least she's toned it down in this footage!
Oh well its his show and I guess it must be that love is blind :-D
