Colin Hay - "Waiting For My Real Life To Begin"

Most know him as the front man from Men At Work, but this Scottish–Australian musician, singer, & songwriter has had a much longer and more prolific career than most people realize. This includes over 13 Albums released and a large body of Film and Television work.

I heard this song the other day for the first time and the raw emotive sensitivity of it struck me to the core. Like an early Dave Matthews, or Jack Johnson, he’s got a bit of Sting mixed with Jason Mraz and that is right up my alley.

So today, waiting for the next big thing, I choose Colin Hay’s "Waiting For My Real Life To Begin" as my, look forward, look up, look for the light you already carry, song for a, shift into motion, let go of the chains you built that no longer serve, silence the parrots, Thursday.
