I only discovered Colin Hay's track "I Just Don't Think I'll Get Over You" when watching the excellent movie Garden State - which I understand the actor/director Zach Braff had hand picked himself.
I knew very little of Colin Hay and was surprised to know that not only is he is a Musician / Actor, but was actually the singer of the Australian band Men At Work.
I adore this song, but for some unknown reason I haven't delved into any of his other solo material - why? I don't know (the shame of it!) and if anyone has some recommendations I'm all ears!!!

Couldn't listen to this, I'm afraid, as it says 'this video is private'.
ReplyDeleteVery strange - thanks for the info SB! Try it again - I think you'll like it!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was definitely well worth the wait. I like this song a lot. Two observations: I picked up a John Martyn vibe (which is always a good thing) and wished I could hear the old genius sing it. Also, for some reason, I was dreading the mood being broken by a middle eight and was very relieved to find that he had the good sense to keep that entirely instrumental. Excellent song performed very well indeed. I'm surprised, too, as I coild never stand that song about coming from the 'land down under'.
ReplyDeleteSB - glad you liked it! It's certainly got the John Martyn vibe!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this, I would call it a breakfast song or Sunday morning track. It's not too intrusive and despite the sad elements, I found it quite quite warm. Nice!
ReplyDeleteA glowing warmth from the cold, not unlike peeing in a wetsuit.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great track one of the best this year...strange thing it makes me want a vegimite sandwhich
ReplyDeleteJust checked the soundtrack....looks excellent....whats the movie like?????
ReplyDeleteThis is excellent, right up my street. He sounds gutted, I feel his pain. I loved 'Down Under', mind you I was 7.
