    I have loved this song since 1989.... Why aren't there 200,000,000 hits on it?? I try to introduce as many people as I can to the fabulous Paul Kelly 🤗

      Yea there's something inexplicable about him. I can't listen to How to Make Gravy without crying, even after 20 , 30 years.

      Agreed! This song in particular is brilliant. I was introduced to him by a friend, trying to pass on the favour.

    When I was at uni some friends suggested going to a pub and seeing Paul Kelly. At the time, I didn't recognise his name, but I recogised so many of his songs I had a hard time believing they were all his.
    A brilliant artist, and one of the best nights out I've ever had.

    A few years ago I lost my brother to addiction stemming from a stolen childhood innocence, this song is a heartbreaker for my father and myself as it hits home like no other, tears flow every time we hear it... there may not be a direct correlation to the lyrics but for us it rings soo true. For me, “everything’s turning to white” is a song that takes me back to being 5 years old, dad putting the record on the turntable and blasting your music through the vintage marantz and tannoy stereo, thank you for all the music as it puts me right back there! 🙏🏼 local Melbourne legend like no other!

    Just saw him at concert at the vivid festival.
    When your greatest hits album has 42 songs on it, you understand that a few songs won’t get played but this song should never be left out by law and it was.

    How many cabs in Ney York City?
    How many angels on a pin?
    How many notes on a saxophone?
    How many tears in a bottle of gin?
    How many times have you called my name,
    Knock at the door but you couldn't get in?
    I know I've been careless
    I've been wrapped up in a shell
    Nothing could get through to me
    Acting like I didn't know
    I had friends and family
    I saw worry in their eyes
    Didn't look like fear to me
    I know I've been careless
    I lost my tenderness
    I've been careless
    I took bad care of this
    Like a mixture in a bottle
    Like a frozen over lake
    Like a long-time painted smile
    I got so hard I had to crack
    You were there, you held the line
    You're the one that brought me back
    I know I've been careless
    I lost my tenderness
    I've been careless
    I took bad care of this
    How many cabs in Ney York City?
    How many angels on a pin?
    How many notes on a saxophone?
    How many tears in a bottle of gin?
    How many times have you called my name,
    Knocked on the door but you couldn't get in?
    How many stars in the Milky Way?
    How many ways can you lose a friend?
