The man is not a celebrity he is a musician a true artist at his craft. The world is made poorer by vacuous celebrities and enriched by artists like Colin Hay
Colín Hay music is transcending. Incredible singer, songwriter and guitarist. I also keep discovering his songs and music. His music adds deep meaning and connection to moments in my life… Thank you
I always liked Men at Work. First heard them back in Junior Highschool, and bought their Business as Usual and Cargo albums and wore them out. Years and years later I heard Colin was coming to Birmingham Alabama Library Theatre. We live in Georgia (neighboring state), and i figured even though it would be a bit of a drive, it would be interesting see him in a small, intimate setting. This was back in in 2007 or 2008. I went to 7 of the Police reunion shows... my favorite band ever. And this little show at the Library Theatre was my favorite concert that year hands down.. No question. I was just blown away. Amazed by this man's ability to connect to us through his music.
I wasn’t a particular fan of Men at Work but I have to say I am really appreciating Colin Hay. In my opinion he is so much better as a solo singer/songwriter/guitarist than his Men at Work days. Love it.
Ironically, it's the Men at Work albums that allow Colin to write/sing/play like he does now, and us to enjoy how tasteful his music is without record companies turning it into commercial pop.
Good lord, is that beautiful. Finally, a song written by you that's in my vocal range, but I don't think I play the guitar parts anywhere near your artistry.
It's no shame not being able to replicate what mr. Hay does here though. He has one of the tastiest and smoothest styles of playing guitar I've ever heard. In the same boat as you, as in I can sing some of his songs but the guitar? Forget about it.
This intro, is something else. He brings a subtle variation to the sound of the guitar, evocative of pipes in one moment or a sitar in the next. Love it.
Sounds great man! Beautiful acoustic tone, nicely played, a good story and defiantly one I like to share with fellow musicians & fans alike. Bravo Colin!
If I could play my sallies bought left handed fender guitar like that, that I've been playing to,Paul Kelly like that then I'd be happy.beautiful Michelle x
steve, don't say that. he got his ass sued over three cords. I'm amazed how musicians can arrange the cords availble to make a song. he's great and I want to keep it that way
It is also referred to as Celtic DADGAD tuning. Drop the high A down to an F# and than you have another great open tuning to play Little Martha or a host of blues tunes too.
First in for a comment! Colin always plays such beautiful resonant guitars. I love his style of playing. Just makes you want to pick up a guitar and play. Does anyone know what type of guitar this is?
Some company took the rhythm guitar from prison time and uses it for hold music at my local courthouse. I hate it. I love the song, but fuck that context.
as we are all laying in bed ready to meet our maker- we should all be guided by his guitar and voice- I am late to him as well- likely due to the "how could he be good its the men at work guy" shame on me
Colin Hay. This is a musician. Everytime he pops up I am transcended.
You are so right! The same happens to me.
Just beautiful, how he plays with your heart strings,
Feel the same.
a trick : you can watch movies at flixzone. I've been using them for watching lots of of movies recently.
@Raiden Killian Yup, have been using flixzone for since december myself =)
There are only so many people who can pick up a guitar and make it come to life. This man is one of the very best.
Amennnn ... a ... MEN!!!!
Yes. One of the most under-rated musicians in his lifetime. Just like Stefan Stoppok here in Germany.
Truly a lovely tune very nice indeed!
Genius is over used these days but here we have a true genius.......❤
Imagine the pride felt by the maker(s) of that Maton guitar upon hearing it sing along with Colin 🎶🎵☺️
It's a Mason??? THANK YOU!! I have wanted to know. The tone is so so warm and very warm for a steel string guitar! Thank you Green Mile! :)
@@elizabethdevries8028 No it's not a Mason.
Should have gone to Specsavers.
Can still write a killer songs, I think Colin Hay is a unique talent.
Saw him this year of 2024 AD and yes this prophet of Melody will still teach and share the great works of music and insight for generations too come
The Harmony between the Guitar and his outstanding voice is unique.
Amazing music
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful!!!!!!
That would be a custom Maton guitar that he is playing. Great guitars out of Australia. Sounds wonderful in that rich open tuning.
His guitar skills have become so fricking good thru the years. Don't forget about his songwriting.
Yes, both!!!
And singing voice.
His shirts never fail to please me.
Frank Philpott Right?! ☺️
Thanks Universe for Colin Hay!
Colin, you are a legend in your own time
No thumbs down, keep it that way. Much respect to Colin Hay. Loved your music since "Cargo" 1983.
Thank you Scotland.
You sent Australia a one of a kind.
What amazing feel and touch this man has.
Truly beautiful. 🙏
I came late to the table, but I’m really enjoying exploring the wealth of work the you have produced over many years. Brilliant!!
Hes one of the best singers/ song writer, poets and story teller in musics history. Hope he knows how amazing he is...
Guitar is amazing, Colins skills are awesome 👏
The man is not a celebrity he is a musician a true artist at his craft. The world is made poorer by vacuous celebrities and enriched by artists like Colin Hay
Colin Hay has to be the greatest singer/songwriter of all time. No one captures a stage and can be a Troubador/Story teller like him.
Mark Knopfler, Colter Wall.
I am in the ring, but don't want to fight" is one of the coolest lyrics I've ever heard.
Colín Hay music is transcending. Incredible singer, songwriter and guitarist. I also keep discovering his songs and music. His music adds deep meaning and connection to moments in my life… Thank you
What a masterpiece.
So so beautiful!
God I love this man’s voice, guitar and songs. Such pure JOY listening to Colin Hay.

Beautiful piece...Thanks for the posted...
So beautiful, colin is one of a kind.
What a lovely man he is also gifted

Lucky guitar. Wish someone loved me this much.
More than amazing! Colin touch every ages souls
Simply wonderful. Seems to get better with age.

I m trying to learn the guitar parts
This guy is inspirational and im not being biased cos im Scottish what a great musician cheers Colin
I am sending to my five older brothers. Reminds me of Florida childhood. Six-gun slingers and cowboy westerns b
he can sure play that guitar
Love ya brother!
This intro, is something else. He brings a subtle variation to the sound of the guitar, evocative of pipes in one moment or a sitar in the next. Love it.
Colin Hay ...from his soul directly to yours/mine. What an excellent artist in every way Colin is.
man at work and works at his best
This ... is .... what "Brilliance" sounds like.
How to make a grown man cry without saying a word, for the 1st 2 minutes anyway. I love this guy.
Colin is one of Australia's greatest songwriter imports and exports. He is a lot happier in the USA.
Colin love your music Top MAN
MAGIC !!!!!!!
Absolutely
Even without words it's telling a story
What would I sell at the "Cross Roads" to play like this man. He is truly Great !!!
Mezmerizing.
Captivating.
Great sound from that box ...really nice .
Love this Prison Time
Listen to this that reminds me of so many months of bullying up to prison time
Sounds great man! Beautiful acoustic tone, nicely played, a good story and defiantly one I like to share with fellow musicians & fans alike. Bravo Colin!
what a guitar , nice you are the one to play it
If I could play my sallies bought left handed fender guitar like that, that I've been playing to,Paul Kelly like that then I'd be happy.beautiful Michelle x
Wow. Just wow
💜💜💜💜💜🌹
Merci, it's great.
Top class
the best ...
beautiful song, very similar chords to paris sunrise by ben harper.
one of my all time favourites
steve, don't say that. he got his ass sued over three cords. I'm amazed how musicians can arrange the cords availble to make a song. he's great and I want to keep it that way
this is great!
Who are the 3 deaf mutes that didn't like this ?
Rick Martyn fuck them, they don’t matter mate.
No words
Oh my gawd! Gorgeous. I can't see the guitar make. Anyone: what is this? I want to get one.
Loved this piece. simple thoughts and hope you are doing well. Was he thinking about her coming or leaving?
Love the sound of the droning string. Open tuning I assume.
I'm guessing DADGAD.
It is also referred to as Celtic DADGAD tuning. Drop the high A down to an F# and than you have another great open tuning to play Little Martha or a host of blues tunes too.
Drop d tubing is in most of his songs. I m trying to learn chords in standard tuning
He's playing reminds me of Tim Reynolds.
First in for a comment! Colin always plays such beautiful resonant guitars. I love his style of playing. Just makes you want to pick up a guitar and play. Does anyone know what type of guitar this is?
it's a Maton.
maton.com.au/artists/colin-hay
Chris, it's not the guitar. It's the tuning and your soulful expression. Try vamping on D
Open tuning?
@@RaySpainPlayer Try DADGAD. The whole guitar opens up.
Some company took the rhythm guitar from prison time and uses it for hold music at my local courthouse. I hate it. I love the song, but fuck that context.
could be Dick Gaughan intro Colin..beautiful english/Scottish aire
How is his guitar tuned?
Does anyone know is this in DADGAD?
Yes, it is.
Colin is the guvnor
Any idea of the tuning?
Cheese and crackers that's good
What tuning is this?
it's DADGAd
He wrote goodnight Romeo the night he found out his father passed away
as we are all laying in bed ready to meet our maker- we should all be guided by his guitar and voice- I am late to him as well- likely due to the "how could he be good its the men at work guy" shame on me
And he is Scottish! If it's not Scottish IT'S CRAP!
Good morning ?
FUKUSHIMA
I love you Colin! You are truly special!
