I lost my wife to cancer 3 years ago. When I’m alone and missing her I listen to Colin Hay’s “ I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you”. It is almost as if he wrote this for me. The song seems to bring her spirit into the room with me for a brief moment. I feel like it is a gift from Colin Hay. To me this is true art. Experiencing and interpreting emotion, and then conveying it to your observers/audience and have them experience that emotion. And maybe apply it to their own lives. In other words, Colin Hay speaks to me and to my heart. What a kind soul!
"Timeless"........ This is probably the best word to describe the man's legacy.I loved him as a young teen,loved him as an adult,got my son to love him same,and now getting my granddaughter to sleep with his music.love it when she touches the screen on any of his clips and says to me " musique,Papi,musique".she doesn't speak properly yet,but she knows good music.❤thank you for this gift Mr. Colin Hay.
Colin could sing the ingredients list from a cereal box and leave you wanting to hear more. One of the most talented singer/songwriter/poet/entertainer/humans ever. Thank you Colin, for sharing your talents with us.
This comment is said so well he came to L.A. RIGH AFTER SHE WENT AWAY HE SAW THE PAIN IN MY ❤ HEART KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A LONG STORY FOR THE TEARS IN MY EYES SINGING SIMPLE MAN BUT WHEN TUESDAYS GONE BY LYNYRD SKYNYRD HE TOLD ME GREAT JOB MAN HEAY YOU STAYING FOR THE SECOND PART OF THE SHOW? I SAID OH HELL YES HE SMILED N SAIDGOODMAN COLLIN WAS SO NICE TO ME HE HUNG OUT TO CHEER ME UP YOU SEE ITS. HARD TO BELIVE HIS SONGS I WAS LIVEING OUT THEN HE SAID I SAW IT TOO WHEN YOU'RE EYES DRIPED A BIT HE SHARED HIS OWN BUT HIS SO NGS WERE SO MUCH MORE THAN MEN AT WORK I LOVE MEN AT WORK SHIT IAM HALF AUSSIE BUT LOTS OF US DID HE IS THE KINDEST GREATEST HUMANITARIAN SINGER SONGWRITER CAREING PERSON IN THE WORLD NO REALLY NO BS I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU MR HEY I WOULDN'T BE HEAR IF YOU WOULDN'T OF BEN IN LA WHEN I PLAYED THERE GOD BLESS YOU MUCH PEACE N LOVE TO YOU
As a Scotsman I'm proud of this guy. Super talented musician and fine songwriter. A credit to his country of birth. I'd love him to play in Scotland again.
His honesty slays me. I went through a rough patch years ago and his song Waiting for my Real Life to Begin really got me through it. Any minute now, my ship is coming in. Thanks for the video. #colinhay
Just saw Colin in Monmouth NJ absolutely fantastic. Nevery realized how great a singer song writer type of talent he was. Used to play Men at work songs in my band, now at 62 I'm into what he's doing now. thanks Colin, I'm buying a new acoustic because of you!
I've been a traveling one man show across the U.S. off and on for over 25 years. We all need inspiration no matter how long we've been playing but especially as we grow older. I am a fan of Colin's but I found this particular little show very inspiring. So much so that I sent it do my father who is also a song writer. Thanks for having him and thank you Colin!! Keep the faith brother!
There are a few artists or people I would be excited to get a signed poster/item from and Colin Hay is one of them. Not asking about the poster so much as just saying that he is awesome! I am just happy to have these amazing acoustic versions of these songs.
Bill Jensen, FYI, Colin is out touring hope he will be in your area. He usually signs items after the show and folks get a couple minutes to voice their appreciation. I saw him about 4 years ago, so excited I have a ticket to see him next month.
I have seen so many shows... a lot of the big names and NO ONE can entertain like Colin does. He can make you laugh and cry and take you to places all in one sentence. A troubadour. It's disgraceful how the courts treated him and how it effected Greg Ham. He has experienced all the highs and lows but remains humble and good humored. He can be the heart of a band or stand up in a room without a mic surrounded big names in the music industry, solitary and everyone will be spellbound.
I didn’t even know he could play a guitar. I thought he was just a singer with Men at Work. Boy was I wrong. He’s one of the best guitarist out there. Have always loved his unique voice in Men at Work and solo, whatever. He’s a music genius! What a lyricist too. He should be playing in front of 50,000 people instead of 100. He truly is amazing!!
I hate to use the word under-rated (cause it’s used too much) but that’s all it is. He got dropped by some idiotic record label in the 90s so you know what he did. He started his own damn label. He’s the man!! Does what he loves to do and not just for the $$ either. It’s his passion. He’s never given up, and never will. One of the best singers and guitarists ive ever heard. Go Colin Hay!!
@@victormoon2349 I saw Colin at a music festival in LA several years ago and he blew my mind !! What an incredible voice, glides right through to your heart, he is a superstar that still lives, breathes and writes fantastic music in our real world !!
Que puedo decirles a todos los fans de este cantante y su grupo australiano su musica es muy buena a traves de su trayectoria musical lo unico que puedo decirle que nunca vinieron a chile pero a la distancia siempre los escuhe y vi sus videos
estimado tocaron en Chile. específicamente en el teatro caupolican. de la formación original sólo vinieron el vocalista y el saxofonista ( q.e.p.d ) aún conservó el anoche del recital. Saludos.
Colin Hay's voice has not changed a bit in fact maybe gotten evern better. I think back when I picked up Business As Usual the Men at Work album from 81 or 82, I thought to my 14 year old self this singer is awesome and so was the band.....Band broke up Colin not wanting to let the music die has traveled the world with his songs old and new one of the most underated singer songwriters. I wish him all the good luck one can have and hope all the old Men at work fans and new generation of fans support him on his career. Wishing you all the best Colin wherever you may be.
Collin Hay songwriter, is the only person that I am jealous of in this world, I have had free recording offered, won a song contest, and have had a song accepted on the BBC website "Celtic Roots", and whenever I sing (can't do really) my work I get a lot of interest shown but I still can't get out of my bedroom, which is not for sleeping of course, but he has all the other things a writer needs, as I've said, Collin Hay songwriter, is the only person that I am jealous of in this world, so please don't ever collapse your talent and keep me feeling jealous forever.
There aren't enough words to depict the wonder of his best work or good enough ways to capture how delightful he is to see play live. But if you watch his documentary and pay some attention, you'll realize that it's not just that America is the Land of Second Chances (which maybe it still is), but far more than that - that the world is a chance at redemption every day you're alive, no matter how much you've lost, or how many dead ends or wrong paths you've trod. The timber of Colin's heart, as Joe Pugg may refer to it as, is a mighty oak indeed.
Can't believe I've never heard of Colin Hay until today 3/06/21.Love his music !! Waiting for my real life to begin....superb. Want to see his documentary !!
Honestly, Colin Hay is so amazing as a song writer. Men at Work was OK, but Colin is a badass treasure of the world. Stop having him sign Men at Work shit. He's established as a visionary beyond that band. Please play in the states! You're a bucket list performer for me, and I'd love to see you live! My list is filled with lyrical geniuses, and that's your station
Men At Work and Colin Hay share lyrics, but Colin Hay makes everything seem more.. rustic if you will, as not all of his songs are acoustics alone. But I think Men At Work was a magnificent band and some of their songs missing would leave me incomplete, as would a lack of Colin’s.
I lost my wife to cancer 3 years ago. When I’m alone and missing her I listen to Colin Hay’s “ I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you”. It is almost as if he wrote this for me.

Colin is a Living LEGEND. His songs are Timeless ,he is definitely one of a kind.

couldnt have put it better
Colin is one of the greatest songwriters of our time.
Yes he is and he hasn't got the credit for it. Maybe he doesn't want it 😁
Not to mention great guitarist, vocalist and all-around performer who can own the stage wherever he performs.
@@billhughes8237 he really is terrific live.
He’s a talented storyteller... he just sets his stories to music as well. Absolutely gorgeous. He’s such a gift.
Def solid. Check out Nick Drake, Milk Carton Kids, and Gregory Alan Isakov
Colin Hay is like a fine wine. Better with age.
Fantastic.
Always the arch songwriter craftsman. Love ALL of his creations. So reachable and often relateable.
As a Scotsman I'm proud of this guy. Super talented musician and fine songwriter. A credit to his country of birth. I'd love him to play in Scotland again.
Live concert from a castle would be superb. With a small orchestra as well.
Colin's voice and songwriting just gets better and better as time ticks by. Genius!!.
His honesty slays me. I went through a rough patch years ago and his song Waiting for my Real Life to Begin really got me through it. Any minute now, my ship is coming in. Thanks for the video. #colinhay
Same. That song really hit home for me, too.
Keep your heads up- find whatever it takes and Lift your mind body and souls. cheers !
I have a strong relationship with that song...love to hear others do as well.
Yep! in a rough place now. Listening to great music like this helps the healing.
yeah this song has a big connection to me, just magnificent
Every time I hear this man, my eyes tear up.
Stunning. Colin is an under appreciated icon. Gorgeous music 🎶
Your one of my favorites Colin, spent time in Scotland and married a girl from Edinburgh
I`m so glad that this particular musician is still producing wonderful music for all of us to enjoy.From a fellow Scot ...all the very best Colin.
One of the greatest musical story tellers of our time. A true legend
As always blessed and in awe
Wonderful down to earth gentleman. I envy his song writing ability and great tenor range.
I had no idea he was this kind of writer, guitarist and singer. Of course I knew Men At Work, but this something much more special to me. Fantastic!
Just saw Colin in Monmouth NJ absolutely fantastic. Nevery realized how great a singer song writer type of talent he was. Used to play Men at work songs in my band, now at 62 I'm into what he's doing now.
thanks Colin, I'm buying a new acoustic because of you!
How can you not just love Colin Hay? He is so likable. He music is so full of emotion and feeling.
Long Live Colin, may he make music forever!
I've been a traveling one man show across the U.S. off and on for over 25 years. We all need inspiration no matter how long we've been playing but especially as we grow older.

Love what Colin is doing these days. Wonderful story teller. Adores his voice too.
Colin is great . My fellow Scotsman musician. Love him.
Your are a unique poet and very special kind of musician. Thank you for your music Colin.

beautiful Mr Hay
intense clarity of thought
thanks for an honest glimpse into your
life & music
God Bless - Colin Hay ! 🙏
OMG, what a true legend!
Am a big fan for past 3 decades. Many thanks to Colin Hay for his comforting music, warm lyrics and a pure voice for our troubling times.
The year has brought us more trouble, but his songs more joy. Courageous suffering begets fierce joy.
Tunes his guitar while talking.......what a classy pro player.
Love love LOVE his music.
I'm a fan of Men at work since 1981.
Colin Hay is a very talented musician. 🎼Congrats🎶🎸🎶
He's such a prolific storyteller. My life is better because of Colin Hay's music.
fantastic in every way!
Truly love Colin Hay. Is he a better singer or storyteller? I’m honestly not sure and not sure I care. I’d pay to see either.
I'd love to see Colin live.
Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for posting this! Colin's vocals sound excellent, and the recording quality is top notch! 👍
Looks like an SE Titan microphone, but to be fair, a great voice sounds great no matter what it has been recorded on.......
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Such a seasoned pro, you can tell he's been at it for years.
Where have this man been my whole life... Thank you...
Pure joyful bliss listening to Colin, my birthday buddy!...🎂🎉🎁
Thank you.
Great tunes. Way to go Colin. Can't wait to see you in CT in August!
I'm a big fan of Colin James Hay, sounds as good as ever!
Have admired Colin's work since Men at Work...I could listen to him all day! Suzanne (Idaho)
Thousand million reasons why were not alone. Believer. Thank you Colin and Michael. Bickering gets it’s done sometimes.

Life is better with Colin Hay. Try it..,!!!!!
The most underrated voice in music history.
I totally agree!!!
I’d say songwriter. he’s a great singer, but an even better songwriter
By whom, exactly?
oh my god yes!!! it's criminal how little recognition this man gets.
Love the goat song you sing . Goats appear and fade away - something like that
*ghosts* appear and fade away 😅✌🏽
Just love this guy 🌸🤙🏼
One of Australia's greatest musical troubadours..you can't not watch and listen..so genuine in performance!
Beautiful.
GENIUS
absolutely stunning Colin !
Mr. Colin Hay, I love your music. Thank you!
I was watching the resident in which he played a song at the end, never heard of him but I think I'm a fan now.
You can't see him and not be a fan!!
If you ever listened to Men at Work then you have heard Colin, he was the lead singer and guitar player.
I have seen so many shows... a lot of the big names and NO ONE can entertain like Colin does. He can make you laugh and cry and take you to places all in one sentence. A troubadour. It's disgraceful how the courts treated him and how it effected Greg Ham. He has experienced all the highs and lows but remains humble and good humored. He can be the heart of a band or stand up in a room without a mic surrounded big names in the music industry, solitary and everyone will be spellbound.
Nice guitar sound. Great voice. Top songwriter...
As good as it gets!
True professional! I love this guy!
love ti win.love Colin am old sick vietnam vet. Went to RRAF Darwin. trouble typing.
Great set and he still has that big voice.He will allways be an Aussie legend..
Love his Aussie accent
I didn’t even know he could play a guitar. I thought he was just a singer with Men at Work. Boy was I wrong. He’s one of the best guitarist out there.

truth!!! how is this guy playing small shows??!! one of the absolute best voices and songwriters out there

Lovely songs! I’ve been watching his videos since accidentally, finding his Santa Cruz tribute. I’ll be watching for a nearby concert! 😎🇨🇦🎸🌪
Thanks. So pure.
The new songs are great. Keep em’ comin’.
So so so talented OMG JUST WONDERFUL🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎤🎹😎
I THINK I MISSED THE POSTER. But you have a fan. Love this.
Master raconteur and songwriter. Nothing I like more than a glass of scotch and a Colin Hay serenade.

I was singing at home so i think i should get the poster. Colin is real and talented. Love the videos
Man,,,,,that was fantastic!
I’d love to see him and his wife in concert! The guy is just so talented!

Some sing and play. Colin plays and sings his life. The hesitation in applause…..audience was mesmerized by first song
I know I’m late to comment but this is a great video!
I sang the chorus and it worked well, loved it!
Love all the analogue in the room.
Colin Hay Better and better thank you
Colin is the Phoenix arisen!
Crisp beautiful voice with a sensational vibration
Colin Hay is my hero.
I met him at Woodstock in Bethel.....He is a very charming man...
His start was in Scotland but his growth was in Australia and continues where ever he is.
Collin Hay songwriter, is the only person that I am jealous of in this world, I have had free recording offered, won a song contest, and have had a song accepted on the BBC website "Celtic Roots", and whenever I sing (can't do really) my work I get a lot of interest shown but I still can't get out of my bedroom, which is not for sleeping of course, but he has all the other things a writer needs, as I've said, Collin Hay songwriter, is the only person that I am jealous of in this world, so please don't ever collapse your talent and keep me feeling jealous forever.
Stunning first song
You Beautifully well done, I need to get this album

Colin Will be in Viña del Mar Festival 2024👌 Wonderful 🙌💕👏👏❗
Love Colin.
😊beautiful songs❤
Thanks for keeping Pace with all those artists we love-
Men at work was by far the best group that come out in the 80s I still listen to that as much or more
Colin. You rock brother
Still a Great voice at his age! Very awesome
