    I so VERY MUCH needed this, gentlemen. Neil, your music (and over the last several years, the music of your whole family) feels like part of the architecture of my soul. You keep showing me little parts of it I'd never seen before but that end up feeling so familiar. Here's hoping your island stays safe and healthy -- we've got so, so far to go here in the States still. Thanks for Fang radio. Thanks for your amazing children (and now grandchildren). Thanks for Crowded House.

      @@time2rv364 yes, definitely, PLEASE PLEASE investigate. You may have to REALLY REALLY listen to the wittiness of his writing. Start off with Prefab Sprout’s (Paddy’s band) song, “Appetite” or “When Love Breaks Down” or “Wild Horses”. Those are the songs that got me hooked on Prefab Sprout. On “Appetite”, Paddy basically writes a pop song about a baby’s natural desires & appetites-hence the name of the track. Prefab Sprout’s second album, Steve McQueen, is considered a masterpiece, produced by the one and only Thomas Dolby. In my opinion, all their records are masterpieces to me. Enjoy the ride with Prefab!!! They’re my favorite band of all time, with XTC, as a close second.

    LYRICS if you prefer comments:
    You pick me up with a smile for my weakness
    I’m bittersweet but you care about me
    You found me lost in the chaos and confusion
    You said it’s possible that we can be free
    You take my hand and then you sweep me off my feet
    Oh let me move you
    Come to the island
    Where we can save our souls
    It’s just the right size (for me)
    The world is beyond us
    It’s too enormous
    But oh the island is just right
    It’s the perfect size
    You pick me up, with the promise of love
    Our names on the door at the island of real
    You have a way of being gentle and tough
    In every sense I think you know how I feel
    Cos I’m afraid of things I don’t understand
    And now I need a little hope
    Oh Let me move you
    (the cities covered in smoke)
    Come to the island
    (the whole systems broke)
    Where we can save our souls
    It’s just the right size (for me)
    The world is beyond us
    (let’s not get into a fight)
    It’s too enormous
    (Irene Goodnight)
    But oh the island is just right
    It’s the perfect size
    Just right
    It’s the perfect size (for me)
    The world is beyond us
    (Shit just got real)
    It’s too enormous
    (Fell under the wheel)
    But oh the island is just right
    It’s the perfect size for me

    This ticks all the boxes. Beautiful Finn imprint all over it, and integrating the 'new' members into the band. Many will argue that we all needed a classic CH song/album after all the almost experimental daliances of Neil's solo career (which I've always loved and respected!) and this will surely satiate your appetite. Dreamers Are Waiting is a wonderful album. And Liam??......well at the Auckland show on Saturday night he and Elroy absolutely shone!!! It's such a delight to have something to shout about once more!!!

    Love it! We've just been locked down again for a week. Hopefully it's only for a week so crowdie gets to play their tour. I saw them back in the 90s and I'd love to see them again nearly 30 years later. Iconic kiwi band that we all love.

    What I really like about these new CH songs is that they are really fresh & different. They are a nice new direction for Neil but without them going into like hip hop or full on trance!! I was really happy when I heard Liam was joining - he’s a real talent and he seems to light a creative spark with Neil.
