Simply dreamy, lyrics, vocals, and acoustic guitar. Really all-round touching quality, thank you Radio Paradise DJ.

First heard this song on the Garden State CD and loved it immediately. And then I had a big, drunken row with one of my few best girlfriends about it one night as she had an ex that she thought she'd never get over. I said that of course she would - lovely lyrics, but of course she'd get over him - and 6 years later I do believe she has (although she has no replacement.
So it has strange memories, but still has to be one of my favourite songs ever. One of my 10 Desert Island Discs.

Very affecting song for me. Long way from the MaW years, years ago, and clearly an artist to the soul with something very resonate to say. At least to me.

I think there are about ten songs or so, featuring Colin Hay here; it doesn't seem like a sign of ownership. However, there are at least 60 titles featuring some iteration of Mark Knopfler. |

Love you Mr. Hay. Love your voice. Cannot wait to see you in Boston on Friday evening. Sadly, your words ring painfully true to me right now. Thank you for expressing it so beautifully.

This song was a mainstay for me, and it will always be a 10, just because it will always remind me of how precious friendships and romances are... Beautiful chapter to attach to a beautiful and heartfelt song. Thanks for sharing. The song now has new meaning to me. |

He has people that listen for him. Curious, how do you ride a castrated turkey? Very carefully, right?

Easily an entry onto the sad-sack breakup mix. Throw some Bon Iver in there too. Other suggestions welcome!
