Design for Living is the fifth solo studio album by Australian singer/songwriter James Reyne released in February 1999. The album follows a four-year hiatus from recording, which saw Reyne's band Australian Crawl inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, and Reyne working in theatre (Little Shop of Horrors) and television (State Coroner).[3] The album was recorded with friends and brothers Scott and Brett Kingman and further cemented his position as a unique, witty, thoughtful and challenging songwriter and singer.[citation needed] "Not Waving Drowning" and "Wonderful Today" were released as singles. A limited edition 2CD was released featuring live recordings of Reyne's tracks. The album was re-issued by Liberation Records in 2006
