For me, one of the most heartbreaking circumstances are two people who love each other and are soul mates, but who can't be together because of tragedy or circumstance. This song distills that feeling into pure poetry. Makes me cry every time I hear it.
vanzpp i dont understand because of circumstances .. she knows i hear her i smell her when i ask she gets angry and sarcastic says..it's complicated. Her life is hell. The people in it are the worst of humanity she wakes up screams outside . There is no circumstance besides brain washing and prison that says keep in your hell life forget the reality in front of you. Complicated ? Love life friends family these are not like all the best things not complucated . Thx sorry to go on
This song is very special. I come back to here every 2 years or so and it is one of very few songs that brings back memories and emotions I can't get elsewhere.
WOW!!!! Just discovered this song tonight...Colin Hay on an acoustic guitar, is rather mind blowing. The energy is surreal, words are perfect...I can't help but see a music video through his vivid description. BEAUTIFUL
My sister Maggie just die, 5/14/2016. Only 51years old. This song was post on FB by my brother-in-law, because Maggie wanted a different song then Maggie May. OMG, rip my heart out. :(
Rest In Peace - Maggie Lane. you are and will always be a vibrant and beautiful soul that inspired so many to love the lost, hurt and stray creatures of the world. You eclipsed all with your light and heart. Fierce firefighter, warrior in the gym and savior of the strays. I'm so very sorry we could not rescue you. Love, your sister in arms...
Seen him recently, before the song he spoke of a little girl (when they were eight) back in Scotland that used to knock him down and hold him to the ground. He said he loved that girl. Then he went into the song... Magic
It took me so long to remember the name of this song, for years the feelings and rhythm have been at the back of my mind. It's so sad, and so powerful.
i heard it a thousand times and it never spoke to me. a minute ago i heard it and something stood out so i rewound it and listened, then looked for the lyrics.. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! probably one of the saddest songs i've ever heard. maggie kills herself!!!!!
Friendship remains in your heart. Conditions change. One needs to run after two sons, I need one daughter. And everyone needs to feed their own. No time to say hello to a friend, I have to say hello to my wife and daughter. Friends leave time in a difficult situation, save, cure, the rest to the family. But if fire\horror\divorce I 'll always be around.
According to Collin, Maggie was a girl he knew when he was little. The story is fiction. Makes the song a little less sad for me lol. Still sad tho! But he is an amazing guitarist and song writer! Been a fan since Men at work!
I thought it was suicide too, but the thing that made me think it was something else was when he said "When I saw you with him, he looked much older, and you looked very thin", usually indicating an illness, in this case terminal/fatal.
Quando pus meus olhos pela primeira vez em você Primeiro você me espancou, depois você me beijou também Nós jogamos pedras no mar Não havia ninguém, só eu e você No outro lado da ponte e descendo a travessa Eu sabia que te amava, depois você disse o mesmo pra mim Oh Maggie, o que você fez? Eu devia ter previsto isso, e pro seu lado eu correria Oh Maggie, venha pra mim esta noite Eu vou esperar por você pra ter certeza que você está bem Sinto sua falta Você me ensinou a afundar ou nadar Quando eu estava com medo naquele dia, você apenas me forçou a entrar E quando ninguém estava por perto Você me deixou te beijar, e o amor eu encontrei lá Eu disse que nunca deixaria você ir embora Você apenas sorriu pra mim, como eu poderia saber? Oh Maggie, o que posso fazer? Como posso viver apenas com lembranças suas? Oh Maggie, diga-me a verdade Quando seu barco estava afundando, você chegou a um entendimento? Sinto sua falta Você era a fonte da minha juventude E quando eu errei, você me mostrou o que fazer E quando nós tínhamos dezessete anos Você me deixou esperando lá, mas você nunca foi cruel E quando eu vi você saindo com ele Ele parecia mais velho e você parecia muito magra Eu não ouvi notícias suas há anos Então sua mãe me ligou e não podia falar por causa das lágrimas Ela disse que você me deixou um bilhete O interior do meu bolso queima com essas palavras que você escreveu “Hey, meu querido menino, não chore por mim Eu sou pra sempre sua e agora que eu estou livre Nós vamos ficar juntos e jogar pedras no mar Não haverá ninguém por perto, só eu e você Sinto sua falta Maggie morreu Eu acho que você apareceu uma noite dessas Você acariciou minha testa, seus olhos estavam cheios de luz Pode ter sido apenas um sonho Mas eu vou caminhar com você por lugares que eu nunca estive antes Maggie morreu
ill tell you roughly what colin hay said down in a pub in largs before he played this song...he knew a girl when he was younger whom he met and she hit him, then kissed him. that was it. that simple encounter gave us this song.
ok listen i know my user says maxx but my birth name is maggie and i loVE THIS SONG SO MUCH, I MEAN I HAVE MAGGIE MAY ON VINYL BUT DAMN THIS IS SOME GOOD SHIT
@magix019 maggie may buddy! give it a listen and youll see why people love it. but i dont understand why theyd switch their name song to this one since its obvious this song is about the deah of said maggie
My bf heard this on pandora and played it for me :) so glad there are other songs with Maggie instead of Maggie May, Its a good song but im sick of always getting those stupid maggie may references when i meet people >.< Check out the new red hot chili peppers song the adventures of rain dance maggie!

2:53 gets me every time. Every. Damn. Time.
This song never fails to make me cry. I start at the beginning in anticipation and am sobbing uncontrollably by the end. I love it!! :'(
I feel bad for the guy's wife. There's no way he loves her like he did Maggie.
Same here
Exactly the same for me. I have had suicidal thoughts. This song makes me hope I never do that to somebody I love.
I came because my names Maggie and I stayed for the awesome song.
One of the most beautiful, tragic, writings I have ever read. And even more so put to music. Amazing
WOW!!!! Just discovered this song tonight...Colin Hay on an acoustic guitar, is rather mind blowing. The energy is surreal, words are perfect...I can't help but see a music video through his vivid description. BEAUTIFUL
I had tow dogs Maggie and Sophie they both passed away i love them
This is litteraly the best song ever...
It is her.. will always be. Miss her like blood like air.
Thanx Colin

Sorry about your loss.
Anything I can do let me know

FFS! how can someone write such a moving song! it's beautiful!
I saw him play this in a small hall in 08' wherethe majority of the occupants were nearly brought to tears.
I feel like every woman I've ever loved was a Maggie and it kills me inside...

I knew a Maggie who went by the name SummerMyth on AOL back in the 90's. She was very special to me and passed away in the 90's. I miss you Maggie.
Awesome song -cant get enough of it!!!
I will never forget this sad song!!!! And i feel for Colin.......
I saw this song being performed by a friend of mine and I have just fallen in love with it.
My Maggie was named Lydia. I miss her
