    This song means a lot to me.- As we get older this kind of message begins to make a lot more sense. We (as any young person) used to feel there's no end to being young and having all doors open in front of you and waiting for yourself to make your move. Well, it has taken me a painfully long time to make some moves and it was only me who was keeping me from taking that next step.-

      Always loved the music from Colin. For me, what makes this so interesting is that Colin wrote the song about what he mentioned in the intro: He was waiting for his 2nd rise to stardom. As Kami indicated, the message takes on different and more meaningful significance the older we get. For me, the lyrics hit home as I wait for my wife to beat cancer. We are waiting for our real (second, cancer free) life to begin. Bravo Colin. PS- I watch you for your excellent and subtle guitar playing and techniques.

    Just had the pleasure of Colin Hays company in Komedia Brighton November 2013. What a lovely honest self effacing chap !!....Who plays guitar effortlessly and sings so well. Like all acoustic guitarists with real talent he deserves perhaps more coverage than he gets because his songs are really that good. I take my hat off to you sir

    I remember a programme called Judging Amy was on my TV in the background many years ago and I heard this track playing. I stopped in my tracks as I couldn't believe the words. It was as if they were meant for me. I was feeling very low at that time with life. I felt everything was not going well. I started listening to this song at night and I found it so comforting and healing. I used to tell myself that my ship was coming in soon. It was on the horizon etc etc and all would be alright Overkill and many other songs helped me get through this not nice period. Been listening tonight to this great music. Thanks so much Colin Hay 😍
