Colin Hay "Driving With The Brakes On (Acoustic) from "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself"

Colin performs an acoustic version of Del Amitri's "Driving With The Brakes On" off his new album, "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself".
"'Driving With The Brakes On' is simply one of the best songs ever written. I love Del Amitri, and Justin Currie’s songwriting. When I first came over to live in California in the early 90’s I would listen to this song driving home late at night." - Colin

Justin Currie is such an underappreciated songwriter.

[@shanegray69]

Great song one of Justins best

[@frankcoffey]

That was a jewel from Twisted by Del Amitri but the entire album was fantastic. Love this version too.

[@shanegray69]

100% Agee with you

[@steadfastanddomino]

Thank you, Colin! Can't tell you how fantastic it is to hear one of my favorite musicians cover a song from one of my favorite bands. You can't deny a Colin Hay/Del Amitri tour would be incredible. Just a thought...

[@foggpogg8401]

I couldn't agree more. Justin Currie and Colin Hay should definitely collaborate on something. I could only see some amazing music coming from that!!! Keep up the truly amazing work Colin. By the way, when are you coming to france?

[@KevinPritchard-ix5oh]

Thank you Mr Hay for keeping it real 💪

[@kingkuts]

So many decades later...Men......still at work..thanks

[@jeanniehelliwell1599]

Ah Colin straight to the heart with that voice.

[@roryoconnor861]

I think all creative people(even the 'successful' ones) struggle with feelings of self doubt, but given that the man who wrote 'I just don't think I'll ever get over you' has now done a beautiful cover of 'Driving...' and says it's one of the best songs ever written, I think Justin Currie has permission to ignore any doubts he might have about his abilities. You're absolutely right Colin, it is one of the best songs ever written.

[@Thomas-McKean]

I just got to see Colin last week in Denver. Such a great show. I love Colin because he's just as entertaining between the great songs!

[@digitalperson108]

100%. Amazing artist. Saw him live first time this summer. Love to have a beer with him. What a sense of humor!

[@kevbackchat]

You bastard. You made me cry

[@jasonyoung6420]

@Colin Hay - I saw you in 2018 at the Toyota Oakdale in Wallingford Connecticut, when you toured with Ringo Starr & his all Starr band; it was a great show. I was the guy yelling "Colin!!" and embarrassing my wife & friends while I danced in the aisle. Hope to see you again in the future; thanks for all the music.

[@alexandredealmeida8147]

I love you man! You are the best! Thank you!

[@neilshepherd1904]

"Thank you" hardly seems enough but it comes straight from the heart. Cheers.

[@eileithyia33]

[@graysanders]

One of my favourite songs performed by my favourite artist! Just finished a gig in Fremantle and played a bunch of Colin’s. Played waiting for my real life to begin and made a new friend, such a beautiful song and to look up and see someone singing along is always 😎

[@Dave1502]

Wow. You totally nailed that Colin. Its one of my favourite songs and you gave me goosebumps man, awesome job!

[@alicedreams9833]

💜 Please Colin, could you do 'Waiting in the rain?' & 'Waiting for my real life to begin?'. Thanks so much from 🇮🇹

[@Hamfantasy56]

Dear Sir you are an Artist with a big "A" , thanks for your poetic&musical gems! (you voice is unmistakable since the early '80s when listened to your Men At Work songs during my military service :-) )

[@johnpbh]

I love the original and I'm so glad you covered it Colin. Giving it your inimitable treatment it is the perfect marriage of a great song being given a great treatment from a guy who knows exactly how to write truly memorable songs as well..

[@briandonnelly8749]

Fantatic performer and great meaningful songs. Unlike several big names like McCartney or Dylan, Colin's voice gets better with age.

I know I am being greedy, but please release the album as an all acoustic version. I love the album (got a signed one, thank you!) but you are just too good at this. An acoustic version of the album would be GREAT.
