Song title: Before Too Long
Artist: Paul Kelly and the Coloured Girls
Year: 1986
Why I like this song:
Another case of a song that never gets old no matter how many times I've played it (and believe you me I have tried).
For my non-Australian readers, the US has Bob Dylan, Canada has Neil Young but we in Australia have this guy: A prolific song writer of considerable distinction who has pumped out many a memorable song.
And for me, this song is indeed a well crafted one, with standouts being the immediacy of the opening, the guitar solo, the piano throughout and the striking line: "Every Dog will have it's day / Any dog can win"
Also, watching this video I can't help but think: a) Wow Paul looks young there and b) Wow Paul has hair
