Mylie1 I couldn't agree more. I'm still going through the absolute worst part of my life... I lost my two month old son very recently and this video was a beautiful thing to find. I have fallen in love with Colin Hay's music and this version of Beautiful World makes me as happy as I'm going to get right now. It's nice to watch Colin play this song while listening to it... something very soothing. Thanks Colin. xv
I heard him on a morning radio show last summer. He was promoting his tour, and when he started to play his music in the studio it just took me to another place. This man is a great talent and his music is unforgettable! Thanks, Colin for writing & singing; it is truly appreciated.
A sadly underrated songwriting genius. CJH has been a favourite since back in the late 1970's, and now he's developed into a master of his craft, at the height of his powers. Thank God for talent like this!
I drove my Escape down a farm-infested part of the county whisked by. I was taking my 10 year old daughter to her riding classes. She's new, so it's a rush to see her improvements. The sun shone and the weather was warm and it was perfect. The man is a good songwriter. The Best? I don't think so, but it's still entertaining, and his voice is so unusual. It merits special mention.
I saw him in Portland last year at the Crystal Ballroom in Portland---front row, right in front of him. His show was mezmerizing to say the least. Amazing songs, amazing guitar work, great vocals and he's funny as hell. He's coming back in September and I will be there again.
I've been listening to this amongst others every night while i sleep, one of the best songs i know, besides the marie part, since that's my sisters name :S
same with me, the scrubs soundtrack really dragged me into this whole new style of music - i went from heavy metal lover, to chilled acoustic maggie is definatly his best song...the guitar work involved aswell as his amazing original vocals make him a truly underrated, and, as stated earlie, ananomous guitarist...they should e-release his albums and tracks into the charts, nearly everyone should reach number one!
I love this song! I enjoy the fact that Colin Hay writes songs that are on the surface, rather simplistic in composition. As you listen to it though, there is a much greater depth to it. Wonderful and highly underrated musician. Scrubs definitely knows a good songwriter to promote on their show.
it speaks to the mans sense of equality and allows us to realize just what he realized, its not necessarily just a feeling for a man. its a feeling for all of us.
Colin Ray one man, one vote. A rare talent, a complete musician. I admire him, friend. When it comes to Brazil, I want to see a show in Belo Horizonte. lol ... Uhuuuu.
Pure , God Given talent . I saw a rerun from an old M*A*S*H episode lately where Winchester says " I can play the notes , but I can't make the music " . CJH can make the music . God Bless Him ....
not sure if any of you know this, but colin hay is the former lead singer of men at work, aka the band who had the song land down under. totally different styles and i love this guy in both
Ya know, I just love him and his music and he can be from or go to wherever he chooses, it's all good! I know he's in Ohio the next two nights and I'll be there!
Thanks, pawnsdream, for uploading this brilliant song! I hope you reach your dream of making it to the end of the board....live long and prosper. cygnus
I heard this song through an episode of Scrubs. Its a good song to put on after you had a crappy day at work. It would sound even better with some strings in the background.
i´m just hearing at this wonderfull man at a cyber cofee and asking to barman what´s the name of this guy... where ever you are your very original and a wonderfull singer.... i´ll buy some cd from you.... inspiration is good and not easy to find these days
i saw him live and spoke with him and the band at the end for a bloke who is scottish through and through he seems to have a very australian attitude. not that i have any idea how scottish ppl are i am sure they are great like australians too : )
Colin Hay = the most underrated and one of the best singers in the world.
Pretty song. I can relate to the emptiness of a life without God. He will never hang up the phone on any of us.

"And still this emptiness persists...perhaps this is as good as it gets". Well said.
What A Talented Guy , Great Lyrics and Great Musician who has given us so many Fantastic Songs, Keep it going Mr Hay , You're One of a Kind :-)
I am American and I love this song and this artist.

I think that line means that he sincerely appreciates and respects women. No cynicism or double-entendre intended. I think it's really sweet.
The man's solo work is solid...beautiful song.
I'm 100% American, and I love this guy. ^_^
This song just brings me back to all my good memories. I don't know why but this gets to me.
'This is good as its gets' so soak it up, both the good with the bad because time ticks quickly for us all.
Thanks colin
i dont know what it is about him but hes so original and i cant get enough of listening to it
ah Colin Hay. Nothing beats the going somewhere album. It's my top listened to album on my computer. I just don't get sick of him!

" I tried talking to Jesus, but He just put me on hold
Said He’d been swamped by calls this week
And He couldn’t shake His cold"
Brilliant !!!!!!!!

"or a woman if you are one" Brilliant line!
"i like swimming in the sea" you can relax listening to this song
"....he just put me on hold..." So underrated!
My my my, how long i've been looking for this one.. heard it once in one scrubs episode and it have been on my mind ever since....
That is such a great song....it was nice meeting Colin a year ago in Orlando. Great guy.
And still this emptiness persists..perhaps this is as good as it gets
Great to see him again, FANTASTIC song!!

beautiful words, beautiful song... shame it isn't actually a beautiful world.

I had a chance to meet him when this song first came out. Most excellent...
He's just being thoughtful. Wonderful song!

How good is Colin Hay? Very talented and a very very funny man. One of Australia's very best.
This song is so beautiful.

Just amazing. He is jaw-dropping.

We're happiest in ignorance. Forget about problems every now and then.

Wow, I guess it's just where I am in life right now, but this song made me cry.
such a pretty song. Just came on the ipod shuffle as I putter around the house. I had to hear it again.

That guy is the real deal -- still and forever -- imho, of course.
What a great voice, love it!
Man. I love this song. :)
(Or a woman if you are one.)
"Man @ Work," "Peaks and Valleys," and my favorite, from which this song is taken, "Going Somewhere"

...or a woman if you are one...
Classic!
I heard this song through an episode of Scrubs. Its a good song to put on after you had a crappy day at work. It would sound even better with some strings in the background.
he's good because his words are meaningful and optimistic.
"this is as good as it gets"
His music sounds alot like music from Newfoundland. LOVE IT
It is indeed a beautiul world Colin
John Belchamber agreed.

Indeed it is... as it is supposed to be. :)
We are all tales of incredible survival, against the odds.
Its a good song!
amen!!
that's awesome
awesome!
"If you are one"
i really do like it :)
agree!!!
"waiting for my real life to be" is also and if im not mistaken so is "my brilliant feat"
Just got some lapsang souchong , to mix with my Irish tea ..... tough to find in the STL
( St. Louis , Mo )
I noticed Scrubs has good songs, awesome show
I thought it added a level of familiarity and/or intimacy to the song. At the same time it's clever and humorous.
he's playing a "renaissance" made by rick turner. a wonderful guitar by a great guitar builder. he makes guitars for lindsey buckingham also.
i loved it when he was on scrubs
Jesus walks into a hotel and gives the inkeeper three nails and says "Can you put me up for the night?"
