Choir! Choir! Choir!

Күн бұрын

Late in 2016, we had the honour of singing with Colin Hay, the incredible talent behind Australian 80s band Men At Work. Hundreds came out to learn our backups to his smash hit "Overkill" at Brooklyn's The Hall At MP. We rehearsed the parts and then Colin came out to sing lead. And then he gave a private concert for everyone in the room (with Colin's approval we'll get those vids up too) If you love this one as much as we do, share it widely!
Colin's new album Fierce Mercy is due out March 3, 2017 on Compass Records. You can pre-order it at www.colinhay.com/ + check out his US tour dates here www.colinhay.co...
Keep up with us at choirchoirchoir.com. We are about to hit the West Coast (SF, Portland, Vancouver + LA) for some Choir! sessions. www.choirchoirc... Hope to see you there!

When I was a younger guy and really obsessed with myself, I thought it was fun going around breaking hearts. Until that one girl came along and broke my heart. It was the Summer that this song came out. I would spend these really lonely nights crying over her while listening to this song. Never take for granted anyone who cares about you because that's a ship that may never return again. If you don't think that's true, then just ask the lonely.

Been listening and watching him perform for 35 years. Back home in Australia we are a cynical bunch but I consider this performance to be one of the best of Overkill. I also think he is actually singing better than ever. His voice seems to have more power. There are some pretty high notes and he gets there effortlessly. You can get a feeling for his pleasure in hearing the choir as they sing their section. He is just closing his eyes and sucking in the sound. Go Colin... Definitely do not fade away, mate. We won't let you.

@Just ice I'm in a quirky mood today. So I'll do you a favour and introduce you to a concept, that might be strange and entirely new to you. You might want to call it "Replying to what the other one actually has said". You see, if you would have made the effort to read everything I've written in my original post, you would have found out, I never said, we all have "to like the same thing". I never implied, "there was no alternative or preference". None of that. Not in the slightest. I'd never rule out the possibility of criticizing what I've written. You could have found it arrogant of me to imply, people who disliked that video might have been hurt. You see, that would have been a valid point. To which I could have answered, that in my experience people, who have to openly and publicly "dislike" something that doesn't harm anyone and won't affect them, tend to have been hurt. There is a difference in "not liking" a video and actually klicking the button to "dislike" it. But that's a whole other story, so let's not wander from the subject. You might even have called me condescending for telling people whose stories I don't know, having been hurt was not their fault. That would have been a fair point as well. I could have had answered, I tend to give my fellow human beeings the benefit of doubt whenever I can, but that's also another story. There might have been other issues, you could have pointed out. Lots of ways to go down nitpicky road ... But you see, you didn't actually criticize anything I've written. You just reacted reflexively. My dear ice (I hope, you don't mind me calling you "ice", but it feels more casual), I don't know you. But anyone can tell, something triggered you. And since you are not referring to anything I actually have written, it is pretty clear, you hardly read my post. 3 lines. 18 words. 60 characters. And you hardly read it. Yet the vague impression of an opinion, that isn't identical to yours, triggered you. Triggered you badly. The mere possibility of me having written something, you don't agree to, made you reply. Made you reply hard. It didn't make you read my post over again. Not at all. You could not bring yourself to give it a second thought. No way. But you had to reply reflexively. And not only did you have to reply. You had to make a point. "dictatorship"! Writing things, saying things, doing things which might not resonate well with you, that is what "dictators" do. Uhm ... no. Earlier on I mentioned "Replying to what the other one actually has said". I already replied to the "So you'd rather we all like the same thing and there was no alternative or preference"-part. Let me now reply to the "Dictators also do that" First off: uncalled for. You might want to ask yourself, why you have to compare some random mild mannered post on the internet to "dictatorship". Questions like this one usually lead to more concerning questions. There are experts, who can help those who really want to be helped just by listening and asking some more questions. Questions one might have never asked him/herself so far. These experts are not cheap. They charge by the hour and the hour is usually only 50 minutes. But working on oneself should always be worth it. But let's get back to what "dictators" do. Ice, my friend, I'm afraid, you don't know much about "dictators". You've heard the word and it's on a list of terms and phrases you tend to use whenever you feel you have to "fight back". Which is a feeling, you have pretty often, haven't you? You hear or read something and you have to "stand your ground", don't you? More often than most people maybe ...? Anyway, a "dictator" would never give a single f... about what you or all of us might like. That's one of many indications of dictatorships: no f...s given about what you might like. There are many more indications. The lack of possibilites to express, what you like or don't like, is just one of many. Another dead giveaway for a dictator are harsh reactions. In a dictatorship the answers to dissenting opinions are always as fierce as they come. PLUS dictators tend to accuse the other side of exactly the thing they are doing themselfes. Like when every true coverage is "propaganda". Or when facts are "fake news". Harsh replies, accusing the other side, ... do you recognize a pattern?

Me too. Wasn't expecting it, didn't know I had it in me - then suddenly tears. Love the first two albums, esp Cargo. Were my favourites when I was 12. Maybe it's because we're tired of the fear (I just went through the decimation of Australia's animals in the fires, and now CoronaVirus.) and just want a world full of love ..

Joseph C Rebuck my sentiments exactly. I'm nearly 50 and this man's voice has been in my life since I was 11. This is one of my favorites of his. This just brought me to tears and brought me back to my teen years, singing along with my 33 1/3. I fell in love with his voice since day 1.

@@michaelrunnels9846 I figured it was something along those lines. You never forget that special car. It’s not like you can walk into Walmart and grab one off the shelf. I love that color too. I had a Springtime Yellow 66 Mustang in late 80s. It looked like a show car from 50ft away but mechanically was not so great as a daily driver for a college boy with no mechanical skills so my Father traded it towards a more reasonable Dodge Omni for me but I loved the Mustang. Thx for reply. Cheers!
