This song should only be listened to late at night in a dimly lit room, on your own, with the rain obscuring the view of the city lights outside your window – allow yourself to let go, boo your eyes out, think of every unrequited love that’s ever stayed with you and twisted you inside out, and then let Hay’s smooth voice and resigned agonised lyrics articulate every ounce of pain inside. It’s nigh on impossible to listen to ‘I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You’, with its exquisitely haunting story of love and loss, without welling up and shedding a few tears. Although Scottish-born Australian Hay might be best known for his work with Men At Work and their monster good-time hit ‘Down Under’, his later work has revealed a sensitivity and melancholy that is at times both beautiful and heart-wrenching.
