Hay, Colin - Water Song Lyrics

Simply ..... beautiful.

You are a songwriter's songwriter. Brilliant man xxx

always end up back here @ some point )

ele NÃO precisa nem de banda ele é perfeito ele no acústico talvez uma harmônica o cara é bom DEMAIS

I'm a Colin Hay man from now on and forever, while I'm waiting for my real life to begin....

typical road trip song.. Its just relaxing.. :)

I remember walking home from Sixth Form (College) and everytime it was raining, miserable dark skies, I'd put my headphones in, put this song on and it'd actually make me want to stay in the rain and just rejoice in it, brilliant song.

maybe Peter Gabriel - Book of Love ?

Wow,how heavy that is.
Gee,you must have a wonderful life worrying about all this heavy stuff.
Amazing sounds & so,so good.

asking myself
as im going to see him next mont I couldnt tell what to say to him...oh so excited

truth song music and honesty.......god bless colin hay

Colin Hay has always been a great musician...I wish more of his music would be used in movie soundtracks.

@sseleanor One of my other favorite artist Ray LaMontagne said this about his last record then his label RCA didn't like it. “RCA, [wasn’t] happy at all. I was. And so at that point, it’s really up to you as an artist to draw a line in the sand. You either want to jump through hoops for some guy in a suit at a record label until they’re happy or you just have to believe in yourself and what you’ve done.” He won a Grammy for it.

I Haven't Heard a Colin Hay song yet that I didn't imediately fall in love with. Pure Music.

I know so many talented musicians like him that don't get the credit the deserve. Why is it that you have to sell out and be superficial to make it mainstream? Thank you for posting this song. I love all his music.

Almost John Prine like.

just listen to songs n how calming n easy listing are thses songs i cud listen to thses all days everyday
cheers

@Urthred I totally agree! His other work (with the CH Band, men at work) is good, but Going Somewhere just hits my heart every time. When i was going through a serious depression a year ago i listened to it most everyday, just something about it, about him that touches me (us!).

Jelly Phish hope all's well now brother

I´m coming from Germany and searched for an colin hay album in a lot of shop´s and can´t find it, do anyone here know´s an i-net adress where i can get it?

I searched for Men at work one day (they are good), now I'm Colin Hay's fan. This man makes me remind don't know what.

@Furdip no worries!
This is my newest youtube account as i kept forgetting the password of my otherone and my email address got deleted...haha
Glad you liked though!

Thanks for posting this song, it is beautifull. I have to get the album!
Thanks again. Great song.

@jimmyjimmyjimmyjames you can get his whole album on itunes f or 9.99 and all his other songs for like $.89 a piece

I have several of his albums, they're all amazing. He's a wonderful person to meet and chat with as well - I strongly suggest seeing him live if you haven't. To those who have, you all ready know what I'm talking about! Love ya Colin!

One of the greatest things to come out of watching Scrubs is finding Colin Hay's music.

ok! enough of the using words like mate, trying to pass urselves off as aussies, when you're probably from Minnesota or somewhere in the midwest.

Why has nobody uploaded Going Somewhere? Please upload it, it's amazing!

I have listened to this guy for years and mate what a genius he really is..

Urthred was my old account, lol. Glad people are enjoying this song!

Thank you for uploading this. I can't believe how amazing this album is - Maggie, Children on Parade, Don't Wait Up.... This album is sublime.

I hear ya but at least someone can do it for us :)

Colin Hay just gets better and better

Colin Hay is still making great music after all these years. A true storyteller!

Just noticed Waiting For My Real Life To Begin on that album...A moving track that was used in Scrubs, sang by the actual cast.

Agreed!

again WE DO NOT CARE WE PREFER COLIN HAY THANK U VERY MUCH

I am not british but I also agree. Well said. ... lol

im british and i completely agree. Said well.

AMEN TO YOU GOOD SIR! YOU SPEAK TRUER WORDS THAN.... a truthful person? lol

Another American here. Love this song and love this artist. I have for over 20 years now. Be careful with lumping people into categories. Blacks, whites, Americans, South Americans... Treat people as individuals. Which, of course, is what they are, first and foremost.

I love this album! It's just SOOOOOOO 'Colin'...there's no other way to explain it! Every song is a masterpiece!

Me too.
You're right. If a person believes that top 40 performers like (name the pop star) produce great music, it's wrong for me to judge their taste. My Bad. It's also great that we're not forced to listen to that and have our own music to enjoy. The diversity really is what makes music so good.

reints, you are a jackass

The point was the Majority of the public (Tend To) get their music from Idol or top 40 radio and miss really awesome music like Lucinda, Colin, and a host of others.
Since you are aware of these artists, you are not part of that category. I thought it was obvious, because I'm sure you know people who only listen to the pop radio station and watch Idol-type shows, but that was ignorant of me.

....Just like Titanic, my friend

I'm a fan of real musicians and songwriters, and Colin is one of the best. It's a shame that Americans tend to get their music from American Idol!!

heh.. I found him through scrubs aswell.. or technically..

I had heard and many times listened to Men at Work, and then after a while I see Colin Hay in Scrubs and I thaught he was great.. Just a few weeks ago I came to realise that he was the singer in Men at Work..

yeah, thats the one =]

the song you mean is called "beautiful world"...all around is anger, automatic guns, death in large numbers no respect for women and our little ones?

thanks man

I think that's "Beautiful World"

can anyone tell me the song where the chorus is this is as good as it gets?please

I'm still listening to Rootblues (John Lee Hooker, Hound Dog Taylor, etc.), so nothing realy gets "dated" for me ^_^

Thanks for the info. Next time I'll be in a cd-store, I'll look into it (I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna love it).

Hi, this is my new account =]
he actually made around 6 albums, origanally he was in a band called men at work? I believe they had a number one years back
Land down under?
good song, bit dated but what isn't? =]

I don't know much about Colin Hay, I've discovered it a couple of weeks ago watching a tv-show(Scrubs) on my computer. He played a song in the show called Overkill. I felt in love with that song and downloaded a couple more (Beautifull world, Water song, Cactus something*,etc...). He's damn talented. I have to buy every album he's created! How many did he made? Two or three? or more?

Thanks for uploading that song! 5*

Colin hay needs to be more recognized. He's incredible.

have done - the guys a genius and a good Scotsman though he moved to Australia at 14 - still has Scottish accent
