A criminally underrated singer and songwriter, the guy is pure class.

[feverpa]

One of the most underrated songs. The original version with full 80's orchestration didn't do it justice. Once Colin started doing an acoustic version, post-Men At Work, it blossomed. Hauntingly beautiful.

[AlexVonCrank]

Holy tits this guy's voice has aged like wine!!! What a performance!!!

[mrdirtbag]

Probably one of the most well written songs all time…

[analizandocantantes]

I do not understand how someone can click on "I do not like" if this is wonderful, the interpretation, the composition, plus the incredible sound of the Telefunken microphones, a really wonderful

[tgbitw]

Song is king. To all the kiddies watching this. SONG SONG SONG. Thats what todays music is severely lacking. Melody and harmony.

[AndyCurriePhotography]

"Nullifies" - can think of NO other song that has ever used that word. The man is a genius...

[chrisribaudo]

Stands the test of time. Speaks for itself. Beautiful.

[emmanuelbuenviaje]

That signature voice gets better every year. May u live long Colin Hay.

[nobodyknows]

This is one of those strong compositions where the implied meanings can change just by stripping it down and changing the tempo. Amazing.

[AllThatIKnowNow]

Love this song! Colin's voice sounding as good or better than 25yrs ago!

[perrrcibal]

I just heard some random dude singing this song at the streat, and after all this years, im grateful that he remind me how great this song is.

[didierbonnet]

A 67 ans Colin Hay nous chante dans la même tonalité qu'en 1982. Sa voix n'a quasi pas baissé après presque 40 ans. Chapeau !!!

[roberta.]

Something about this song is hauntingly beautiful... ❤️
Most likely it's Colin Hay

[bobbyboykin]

I know its an overused phrase, but Colin truly is one of the most under-rated talents out there. Every version he does of this song is unique and speaks to me in a different way. How the hell does he do it? Amazing.

[TheHangarmenBand]

my insomnia song. I remember when this came out. No clue. Now in my 50's, it has new meaning. Great performance. Thanks TELEFUNKEN.

[pietervanderzwaag]

His voice hardly changed. Love Men at work😊

[alejandrocompean]

God, never take him out of this world, please!!!

[ak]

3 thumbs down????. Realy??? Man is a genius. one of the best.

[jayholewinski]

In the end he added a little more in his vocal. Love it.
