Best thing to come out of Scotland since... eh... haggis.

What a beautiful, beautiful song.

Wish to god he'd come back for more shows.

Thank you for posting this. It's nice to see that Colin Hay is a great singer and musician who, to this day, can still deliver a fantastic and moving performance.

Cool that he has such a sense of humor, too. :)

[Sparra33]

Your welcome :)

He was brilliant, I wish I'd recorded more songs.

A great song is when an artist can muster up all of your own emotions and give your heart back to you in a way you couldn't express. Thanks Colin Hay for that blessing. (Great post by the way)

Aww my god! I was there! Pretty sure that's the back of my head! I'd know my big flat nose anywhere xD

Agh we're always waiting on our lives to begin aren't we? :/

God that wrenches my heart! His loveliest song! Thank you so much for posting!! :}

this song slices me in two

"Suddenly, nothing happened!" *cry*

[valois5]

I have a wonderful companion (wife) and two dear kids. In theory, my life is complete.

Yet, I feel that some element is missing. Perhaps it's my imagination.

Still, this song touches an inner chord...

[valois5]

This song always cracks me up.

"Waiting for my real life to begin" is such a good way to describe what more than a few people think of their lives.

He was really entertaining, first time i'd seen him play & KM was as good as ever, 6/7 times i've been to see him and not a bad one amongst them.

Colin Hay also played the festival club later on that night, but didn't seem as confident on the smaller stage, either that or he was half cut by then as it was about 2 in the mornin
