Into My Life

Into My Life 04:03
The carpet’s stained with my red wine I’ve been staring at the fire I keep on looking at the time I’m waiting on you I can hear the howlin’ wind Yes the sound is getting higher And as the night is closing in I’m waiting on you Those big black eyes Wicked smile that you flash as you walk through my door Into my life Into my life Into my life Won’t you come in and sit right down Here let me pour a stolichnaya Why is it when you come around I’m waiting on you We drink until we get too tired And even though you try to dance for me I still can’t light up your fire I’m waiting on you From time to time I feel so blind And there’s still so much more left to do Into my life Into my life Into my life

about

Announcing a newly recorded version of “Into My Life”, from Men At Work’s Colin Hay, featuring Gregg Bissonette (Ringo Starr and His All Starr Band) and Cecilia Noel!

Men At Work front man and songwriter, Colin Hay, included “Into My Life” on his debut solo album Wayfaring Sons. The song existed as an album track and live show favorite until it exploded in Brazil in the 90s as the theme song of the popular soap opera “Rainha da Sucata”. Hay explains: “One of the major reasons “Into My Life” was a hit song in Brazil is the power of television. Audiences heard it as the theme song for a popular soap opera and the sound was familiar to them due to the success of Men At Work in Brazil.”

The success of “Into My Life” earned Hay appearances on major festivals throughout Brazil and spurred frequent tours of the country. The song rivals the anthemic “Down Under” as Hay’s most popular song in South America, and is featured in the 2015 documentary about Hay titled “Waiting For My Real Life to Begin.”
