This is my new favourite Neil Finn song. I play it repeatedly, listening to every change. The music builds then crashes down like and ocean wave. I love how Finns melodies are sung and the music stands, firmly, alone. Crowded House was introduced to me by my dear Kiwi friend.
Such a beautiful song. You must listen to ALL the working demos of this song to hear how it became so beautiful by subtraction of other elements. Neil is a damn genius songwriter.
My girlfriend had a huge crush on Mark Hart after I showed her Farewell to the World. In a heterosexual appreciation of aesthetics (and as a guitarist myself) I can't say as I blame her. This is a fantastic song. I love the way it builds.
Thanks for uploading this. I'm going to be controversial on this one and say it's my second favourite CH song after Together Alone, which seems to be missing for the most part from the internet.
Thats Peter Jones who replaced Paul on the together alone tour after Paul quit. Peter was a fantastic drummer and great replacement for Paul. Unfortunately neither Paul or Peter are with us anymore.
Allegedly inspired by sitting on a beach and watching beams of sunlight break through the clouds. I'd say he captured it pretty well...
Their most underrated masterpiece.
Yep. It's one of my favorite Crowdies songs.
Absobloodylutely
Truly one of their best
@@fredbiff The version they did at the 'Farewell To The World' concert is just stunning.

Not controversial at all Matt. Good choice

Paul Hestor is missed on this version.
5563 views for not only the song but the great LIVE performance in 4 years!!!
170+ million views for Justin Bieber?

@@Generalhammond6019very sad
@@Generalhammond6019 What a strange and sad coincidence. RIP Paul and Peter.
...and the Americans put CH in the "folk" category. ???.
Easily as good as anything The Beatles ever did.
