Sounds great - I'm listening to the 128 MP3 stream through WINAMP.

This song always manages to transport me somewhere I really want to be, even if only for a few minutes!

Lovely song altogether.  Does a brilliant job at putting you right there by the sea.

My favorite MAW song too.  Nice contrast to the "popular" hits, really shows what this band was capable of.  Super nice to hear on RP too!

Suh-weet. My favorite MAW song! Nice way to end the week. RP rocks as always. This song has my second favorite bass groove ever. First place goes to Children in Bloom by the Counting Crows (probably a contentious statement to some).

I think this is their best song. Very mellow mixing acoustic guitars and sax.

This song is moody, atmospheric fabulousness.  It's in the regular rotation on my ITunes  - but it's always nice to hear it on Paradise!

I don't think their music has held up over time. Sounds tired and dated to me.

Arguably the ``Mens`` best song.Has an extraordinary feel to it and brings many memories

back to me in Darwin Australia. Party capital of the world.Well it certainly was in the eighties!

Good stuff, often forgotten in the face of the big hits. It was good to hear this since I just got tickets for Ringo this summer, and Colin is playing with them. Should be cool.
 
Turns out it WAS cool.  They did some Men at Work songs — probably the big hits.  But Colin was great — very personable and he sounded great.

Great to hear another side of this band (besides the obvious hit song "Down Under"). Very nice song, makes me think how over-looked/underrated they were. I love the atmosphere and slow groove of the song.

Love this one and "No Time For Yesterday."  Wish they could have gotten more airplay back then, but then again, we didn't have RP, did we?

for a second, the intro brought 'Dark Matter' Porcupine tree to my mind...only slowed down a bit; must be the coffee

I've always enjoyed Colin Hay's voice, and songwriting.  Very pleasant.
