Colin Hay. Oxford Art Factory. Amazing.
colin hay came into my life (though I didn't know it was him at the time) when his Garden State song (I just don't think I'll ever get over you), ripped my heart out repeatedly during a brief but devestating break up. I found pleasure in torturing myself, listening to it over and over. He came back into my life when I moved to Australia, Men at Work - Land Down Under, duh! and recently a friend of mine requested that I check out his other solo stuff, which is really wonderful. He and his gypsy, air-flute playing, eccentric dancing side-kick came to a theatre near us, so we bought tickets of course. It was better than I ever thought it could be. He played all the goodies and towards the end of the show he played "I just don't think I'll ever get over you." I was swept with all sorts of weird nostalgia and happy feelings. I was finally in Australia (the place we talked for ages about going), holding hands with that boy (the one that I was pining after when I first heard the song). it was so much fun. i want to do it all over again.
here is a glimpse of his classic diddy and that magical air flute:
