Colin Hay & Cecilia Noël - Waiting For My Real Life to Begin

[@VictorMoon-g7h]

I think I could listen to this song all day long and not get tired of it.

[@raymondwarriner5372]

(checks watch) 15 years and still listening. 😉

[@donanderson1832]

I know how to be critical of musical performance and preparation, and I can assure you this is beautiful genius at work. For those of you who can't handle Colin inviting his very talented wife to join him on stage to present another version of his masterpiece, there is probably nothing I can say that would reduce your hate. This is a gift, wether you accept it or not.

[@oilspill321]

I totally agree, she is great. What she does is very cool. And hey she is happy, they are doing something they love together. How can that be criticized?

[@coolhluke8089]

Its beautiful and as it should be as they are one.......

[@stephankaelin]

totally agree. the timing is impecable. they are in sync without looking at each other. I know how difficult that is. Haters gonna hate. I pity them for not seeing and hearing a beautiful, touching and heart-warming performance. I am deeply moved by this performance. this is true genius.

[@vanomaden]

agree :-)

[@joeybagadonuts7332]

She is so beautiful outside and in and they're connected on a spiritual level with the music and she truly loves him you can tell.....Colin is awesome

[@lawrence2087]

I’ve listened to endless takes of this song and the verdict is in…it’s clearly a masterpiece!

[@zappafan-co2we]

We totally agree on that it's brilliant.

[@drewcamero1489]

Makes me feel good knowing he's not standing on the stage of life alone.

[@stanleyolson3228]

All in all, there is only love.

[@RabiesTheBeagle]

Are you still here? Respond if u survive the vaxx....

[@aprilfields8012]

One thing that is obvious is that her love for him is true and authentic. At the end of the day, what else could you ask for.

[@zappafan-co2we]

I cannot play and sing along with this sing without tearing up

[@stevenhanson6057]

What a phrase “Waiting for my real life to begin.” May everyone realize that’s what you strive for, beautiful. This is an unreal performance by amazing artists.

[@savioverra8331]

He and his wife just wonderful ❤❤

[@michaeltraphagen5271]

Tough old man and I cried. Thank you for this gift to the world. Thank you so very much.

[@vanomaden]

me too ..

[@gordonballard8222]

Must have listened to this a 100 times or more honestly. Amazing performance. The power of music and love. What a dance 💓

[@davidcarpi8721]

To see/hear something that beautiful made my day, oh maybe my year, well actually my life!

[@hakansoderholm6514]

Scrubs made me find him and his music. This song is a sad memory from the,series... but also perfect for the scen it was in, so a good sad thing😊❤

[@paulbarry9970]

I absolutely love Ms Noel's contribution to one of my favorite songs.

[@VictorMoon-g7h]

Colin Hay has always been one of my favorite singers. Still amazed at some of the high notes he can hit. And his wife sings beautiful harmony with him.

[@bk6678]

I just love this. And I think the presence of his wife is symbolic of the joy in his life.

[@tonyrocco6617]

Best of the Best.

[@loloverlord1664]

When she brushed his hair, I was waiting for some average acoustic and live experience. I was so wrong: they're perfectly in tune with each other, this is better than most studio performances, this is so excellent and professional, I had an eargasm.

[@aprilgosa5779]

that was sweet

[@algieturas612]

What a perfect harmony they have...

[@justingreer4202]

Colin is nothing short of spectacular!!! His voice is truly amazing!!!

[@cyclingxventures]

Their harmonies and timing...are just so unison!!! Amazing!!!

[@seancolahan9211]

Saw them performing this at Port Fairy Folk Festival. I was there! It was a song that got me through the last year of work, till I retired

[@marilyn7025]

Such a perfect accompaniment. Lovely lady.

[@geneconnelly3852]

Colin's wife brings a unique and positive energy to this song (IMHO). And Colin's voice has such history and nostalgia to really everything he sings. They tie together very nicely here. The magic of music is made up of moments. This is one. Bravo!

[@carolinemorris9186]

Thanks be to God and the Universe and Colin off course for this video 🙏🪐💫✨🥰

[@caprising4445]

The truth is is her pitch is great and so is his.. it's a spiritual thing for both of them. They don't give a shit anymore. I fukin love it. A woman dedicated fully to her man and tapped into his energy fully. Who cares what it looks like listen!

[@frankolsson6130]

Colin I say.. his voice reaches out in the universe...

[@stevebremner3979]

My god this man can sing !!! Just love him.

[@mamabuenamamabuena]

❤..Colin Hay & Cecilia Noel..❤ We love you!!!!

[@richardfortin756]

This is truly one of the best songs ever written. So much emotion.

[@jan2bratt]

Beautiful song with a beautiful woman accompanying Colin, still has a great voice. Thanks for sharing this.

[@stevenw4334]

his wife i think

[@movinginstereo44]

It was… as I mentioned in Eugene the other night… Such an honor to have you folks here. Thank you again. I will hope you visit us again someday soon. ❤️

[@michaeldolan2769]

its ART from start too finish... beautiful Stuff!!

[@SpikeF14]

"Suddenly nothing happened"... brilliant

[@timallen6025]

This is just mentally good, really really good . Raw tender honest brave , encompassing , empowering duet .. thank you 2

[@zanefame720]

This is literally all I want for me.

[@SweetPeachannel]

19th June 2020 I am still here. Anyone?

[@rockstrada]

I'm! You know, the times are lean ✊🏻

[@SweetPeachannel]

Rockstrada yay 😀

[@hilmadragan5300]

A gift to see these two very special souls together. Talent, Love, Miracles. I’m grateful to have this song in my life, at the perfect stage of the game, when I needed it most. Hilma Dragan

[@dankaxman7312]

Thank you,Mr. and Mrs. Hay! What a treat.

[@angusdraffan6656]

I think they work great together. The harmonies are so powerful. Love it. Love the original too. Life's not that interesting when you don't try different stuff. Awesome song! :-D

[@tonycarchia7109]

Saw Colin last year in Boston. I can't think of a more powerful artist that has touched my heart thru music and even comedy at his live shows. The song Maggie actually brings me to tear each time I listen to it.

[@LaurelCanyonMojo]

I loved this collaboration ... I felt she added an emotional element that was lovely.

[@stephenedwards1737]

Fabulous, really fabulous. Thanks Colin

[@MotherTShow]

She's a beautiful compliment to a wonderful artist!

[@TelecasterLPGTop]

Do you really think so ? She's just another Yoko to me.

[@joshualexandercole]

what a dick thing to say, Felix.

[@rpverno429]

You should see other performances with her in it .....Shes an embarrassment really. I hate to be the one to say it but she sucks

[@daflotsam]

I'll have to check more videos out, but the few I've seen her on she's real good with her pitch on those harmonies.

[@1jackct]

nah she is honestly really good in this performance even if her dance moves are a little eccentric XD

[@Rob79CanMove]

I can't like this enough. Colin Hay is a true genius and I'm glad his wife shares his talent!

[@philippebenas5721]

Great singers and great performance!

[@PeterSlaven-tf6dp]

Amazing…. Love this version

[@billystewart4]

I saw him live, touring his Gathering Mercury album, and it was incredible! He was solo and owned the stage for over three hours! But I wouldn't mind seeing his wife, and her band, touring with him! Colin Hay IS the definition of modern folk music and I'll buy every album he releases. It took some searching but I managed to get even his out of print stuff; just gotta have it. He's just that damn good! His latest, Next Year People, is as good as anything else he's done and still carries itself without Colin sounding like anything he's done before. Respect!

[@wakeupcall49]

+Billy Stewart well said Billy.....this guy is simply out there and fully released...his real life began some time ago...just can't get enough of him as well

[@GM-pr6vx]

I trust record companies as far as I can throw myself, a pack of vultures. Colin Hay has always been one of my favorites, talented singer and a songwriter, quirky, great sense of. humor! Waiting for my real life to begin is one of my all-time favorite songs, poignant and dead-on, I'm sure many people can relate

[@thomasbell6834]

Is the woman signing his wife?

[@duane663]

I saw him live in Japan in 1985 or 1986, he was brilliant then and he is brilliant now

[@duane663]

God damn the tortured fools who can’t see beauty

[@stevebrant4328]

Can i like this more than once?

[@arthurscullion]

Seen him in the Oran Mor in Glasgow 2016 ( I think)- doesn't get much better .What a fine musician - and wordsmith .

[@beaverfribente982]

colin hays voice moves my soul to a good place thank you

[@rickbullock4331]

Terrific songwriter and definitely a melodious voice. His wife has great harmonies to my ears.

[@freeheeler09]

Brought a tear to my eyes...

[@Chezeborger]

This song is rlly important to me

[@jessicac.j]

I love this song, it's so beautiful 💓

[@edgreen8140]

Colin is a treasure still working in his 80s in 2020.

[@monotheis6889]

His 80s!?! No, 60s.

[@amandahuginkiss4098]

@@monotheis6889 70's

[@jaydeebasssociety268]

I wrote a stipulation into my will that this song be played at my funeral.

[@RickyBrennan]

❤️🙏 incredible song

[@mcorrech]

this guy and his lady still rock...

[@dsutkin]

Spectacular songwriting and the baring of ones soul through music. Bravo.

[@vanomaden]

one can be jealous, I get that - and here one can be jealous for several things, Colins talent, his voice and his wife. What a blessed man - and how blessed are we that there is video so we can enjoy this even after the fact and again and again.

[@jose-luistolentomaciel451]

Bravo, bravo Colin Hay y la segunda voz de Cecilia Nöel, esa pieza es enorme y desde que la escuche hace apenas unos años me encantó…

[@Californiafell]

The very best rendition of your song ever

[@smithy280663]

superb............simply superb.

[@antoinetilly8757]

Great, merci.

[@paigewingerd5788]

Absolutely beautiful

[@patriciakimes9622]

Sir, Colin Hay, and his wife Cecilia Hay, are each gorgeous in their individual, original ways, and sing beautifully as a vocal duo.

[@tyger750]

Agree totally,

[@aliciarobertson4979]

Patricia Kimes I agree with what you say. Colin Hay’s wife is Cecilia Noël. I also like the videos of her with her band when Colin joins them on stage too.

[@alexjones3103]

It’s hard to put one song at the top of a long list. This for me is number one by a long way.

[@donnelnunes]

Just a beautiful performance on many levels. Wonderful to see the intersection of their musical and personal relationship expressed so gracefully.

[@doggystyleist1]

This made me feel really good today.

[@bonniewaters888]

Love it! So beautifully and poignangly written and performed.

[@jeanniehelliwell1599]

Such love between these two. Their life is the real life begun. 🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺

[@CBFREE]

Beautiful in so many ways.

[@TheBrucenz]

Amazing and moving

[@emmanuelbuenviaje6564]

Mesmerizing...creativity at the top of its game.

[@johnnypio]

I think Cecilia harmonizes perfectly on this beautiful song. Anyone who doubts her talent, check out her videos on you tube. She is in constant motion singing her heart out. Fantastic.

[@BFD1989]

Why in the world could anyone doubt her talent

[@zappafan-co2we]

Magic stuff...always hits me

[@BFD1989]

I fell in love with Colin Hay today

[@Msjmtg]

Beautiful

[@vabriga1]

You guys rule! Keep on rocking.

[@handsome-Tom]

Brilliant! Mesmerising and flawless performance. How on earth are there 31 people who gave the thumbs down? Each to their own - but I loved it!

[@yesman1083]

très émouvant vraiment super merci merci merci merci a tous les deux.

[@hoytmccloskey5967]

Beautiful thanks

[@martinschiedermayer2801]

one of the best i have ever heard, goes straight to the heart

[@DirtandRust]

Love this song!

[@VictorMoon-g7h]

And a very good guitarist too.

[@gyrojomo]

What a lovely lady

[@MrEverson7]

Definitely, a wicked tune. Cheers, Colin.

[@otherspect]

Beautiful :-)

bun now bej 2 min.geweldige muziek wak nog niet ken.bedankt ronny

[@davidval7188]

That's right men at work. I loved that GROUP. He is a great singer. His wife is beautiful. I love the harmony. I enjoyed her interpretation of the music through her MOVEMENT.

[@drone_flying_jack]

Seriously !!!! She ruined nothing. What the hell is wrong with people to be critersizing. Its HIS SONG. And HE can sing it however and with whom ever he likes, and he could sing that song anywhere anytime with whoever he likes, and it would still be a bloody awesome song and she only ads more colour to it in every way. You who would say otherwise on here need to go write a song of your own and put up so you can show the world how talented YOU ARE. What was that you said???? Sorry I cant hear you. Thats right. Pull your bloody heads in. It was brilliant.

[@CSheri2]

BRAVO! BELLA BRAVO!

[@stevefranklin9176]

I wasn’t sure if I liked this song the times I’ve heard it but now I love it. Great together

[@henstarillingworth1623]

I think Cecilia’s harmonies enhance the song…its just a version of it…and its such a relatable,timeless classic -especially for those of us with musicians in our inner circle.

[@mariehayes8358]

I saw them together last night and was so sad she didn’t sing her “birdie” part on this song. But otherwise, she was the light on the stage and we were so lucky to be seated so close to her! Love their harmonies.❤
