Every so often a song comes along and ferociously punches you in the gut. Well, Colin Hay’s song ‘I Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You’ packed a mighty punch.
It’s piercingly honest, lacks production (in a good way), and is raw. The lyrics are specific and descriptive, and are coupled with a stripped back vocal performance that let them shine. Hay is also playing in an open guitar tuning which adds a rich droning tone to the song.
I love the feeling of finding a song that you immediately know will be on your listening list for many years to come.
H/T to Dan for sharing this song with me on his fleeting visit here in London.
