Going Somewhere: Humor and Wisdom Along The Way With Hayby KieranB

Reader Rating:
See Detailed Ratings

April 30, 2009: Hay is a delight to listen to.

It's only a hunch, but Hay seems to have floundered for a while with songs that tried to recapture the full blown instrumentality, irony and general attitude of his "Men at Work" days.

Perhaps it's because the Scot in Hay won out over the Aussie, but there is Celtic soulfulness (a flirtation with longing and loss) here. There is also an ultimate optimism. (Maybe that springs from his decision to have lived for the last decade or so in L.A.)

Anyway, the mature Hay is worth the wait. He succeeds on "Going Somewhere" with the same unique voice that made "Men at Work" work while delivering lyrical observations on his feelings and situation that are wise and humorous. Songs like "Beautiful World" and "Going Somewhere" are great anthems for making it through a day with eyes wide open to both the beauty and limitations of being human.

Songs like "I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You" and "Waiting for My Real Life to Begin" suggest that Hay has gained and lost a lot over the years. But they are also a testament to the fact that he has learned a lot along the way: tinged with a mix of loss, dissatisfaction and accomplishment, Hay's songs give off an infectious confidence and reasons to keep swimming upstream.
