Arguably one of the most perfect pop songs every made.
No argument about it!
Mick Fleetwood said it was the most beautiful song he'd ever heard. This was during their tour in 2019 when Neil Finn joined them in Lindsey Buckingham's absence. What a treat that was.
I heard that Paul McCartney was once ranked Tim and Niel Finn as some of the worlds best song writers. They are!
Completely agree
@@livenhfree Feetwood lmao
"Something So Strong" was their other top 10 hit in the US Billboard Hot 100. Neil Finn on lead vocals.
That’s my favorite too!👍✌️
Was just going to suggest that! Great minds lol...
ruclips.net/video/WyBKzBtaKWM/видео.html
I love that one!
Killer song..thats actually my favorite one.
Agreed with this person. Absolutely killer tune right here.
Aaaah, rest easy Paul Hester, the funniest on stage drummer ever.
Yeah it makes this video a little harder to watch, knowing what happened to him. He always looks like he's having fun in the vides.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
This song hit me hard when I was a teen. The lyrics "In the paper today, tales of war and of waste but you turn right over to the T.V. page." speaks to the apathetic attitude of society at large. It made me consider why there are so many who don't care about anyone but themselves. The song is great, the lyrics are great, and I'm glad you guys finally reacted to it. Take care.
Wow so poignantly stated I was 20 years old when this came out. Hit hard for me as well, especially the part where it says: "They come, they come
to build a wall between us
, we know they won't win". Even more true today than ever before! I always feel so empowered at the end, when it says, don't let them win. Beautiful and powerful lyrics and melody. 🥰🙏🏽
Well said!
Agree but I think it’s a bit more complex than just caring about themselves. I avoid the news a lot. Self preservation
So true.
And thanks for quoting the lyric, cos it was never clear to me what he said, lol.
Well said Anthony.
You can't go wrong with Crowded House - Into Temptation, Four Seasons in One Day, Fall At Your Feet, You're Not the Girl You Think You Are, Weather With You, Better Be Home Soon, It's Only Natural - all great songs by this band.
Distant Sun is my favourite. They sang it live on the Tonight Show and were awesome.
Four Seasons in One Day is an incredible song!
I'm sure I mentioned crowded house on this channel a few months ago...glad they've done it...
Into Temptation!
@@m3avenue Oh that's so awesomely beautiful, just love it
One of the most underrated bands. It’s hard to choose a best song. You end up choosing all of them
How very very true.
Not "underrated" back in the day. Keep in mind that there was huge competition and not every very good or great group was going to make it to "the top".
@@PapaEli-pz8ffEspecially in the 80s because there was just so many good band after band coming out with talent and there was so many genres coming out also
They're a band to whom so many pay homage... Neil Finn's voice is incredible to this day. This song was over-played on radio to a fault. A shame for those who didn't understand at the time, myself included. I've seen Neil Finn many times now thankfully. This song is just beautiful and... His voice Drops in and out gorgeously in this song. Perfection.
Amen brother
I was 29 when this song came out. Newlywed and buying first house. I loved this song. I am now 65. Divorced and free-falling. I still love this song. It has spoken to my heart for 36 years and counting...
I was 21 after going through a breakup. For me, "Don't dream it's over" had the meaning, "Don't dream. It's over."
hang in there:) I was 16 when this came out....what a beautiful song
So sorry to hear about your circumstances but music is where we all meet ❤️
i was -17
I was 22. Stick in there Cathy. Have you seen the Glastonbury version. Awesome.
Still loving this song after all the years. Beautiful song. I miss the 80s
Ugh, I miss the 80's soo much. We had no idea how great we had it. I miss Atari and Mtv the way it was back then. Such great memories. ❤️
Me too. It was a better world then. This is one of my favorite 80s songs
Hell I still have my 1967 cougar that I drove all thru the 1980s
@@kimkovaly3096I disagree! The eighties started the Greed that we're experiencing today!
So many great Crowded House tunes… check out “Weather With You”, “Four Seasons In One Day”, “Fall At Your Feet” and “It’s Only Natural”. The Finn brothers are such amazing writers and performers!
I'm glad you mentioned the Finn Brothers... Whether it was Split Enz, the Crowded House Woodface album or the Finn Brothers CDs, they sounded best when they were singing together.
Neil Finn has said that his favorite Crowded House song is "Into Temptation". It really is an amazing song. "Love This Life" and "She Goes On" have wonderful messages, in addition to amazing music.
Fall at your feet!!!!!!
Chocolate Cake.
Yeah, everything Trevor said! I would also suggest a few Split Enz tracks, too, with Neil and his brother Tim. Very 80's and 'Six Months in a Leaky Boat' and 'Dirty Creature' were big Mtv hits.
The chorus is one of the most beautiful and haunting melodies of any rock/pop song. Modern music cannot compare.
This proud Kiwi is grateful to you for reacting to this wonderful New Zealand band.
My goodness lucky kiwi 💚💚💚
Like lamingtons it’s an ‘stayn band
I cannot tell you how much I love this song! There's something addictive about it! The guitar and the keyboards! And yes the lead's voice!
This song has a special place for me as it was playing the night before my high school sweetheart left for college in another state, while I went here. I was devastated, and we kind of left things open and uncertain at first, but will be celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary this September. So yeah, never dream it's over, guys. 😉
Too cool for school... Congrats !!
GOOD FOR YOU TWO!
As another song says,"LOVE NEVER DIES"
Solid work and congrats
This song. Once you hear it, you can't forget it. So, so beautiful and full of hope.
Crowded House have quite a bit of quality material. 35 years later I still throw on "Weather with you", 'Mean to me" and "Better be home soon" among many others.
Dont Forget Something So Strong too!
Neil Finn is an amazing vocalist/songwriter. I know you'd love "Better Be Home Soon" or "Fall At Your Feet."
You better be home soon hurts me to listen to.
And Distant Sun ❤️
Better Be Home Soon is so powerful and raw, love it
Check out Split Enz. Where it all began for Neil and his brother Tim Finn.
The Finn brothers are 💯% talent! 🎵🎶
The look on Amber's face during the chorus says it all. Pure bliss
The best part of every video is when Amber closes her eyes. That's the music moving through her heart and soul.
I think she was having an orgasam!
Honestly, one of the best songs written in the 80's. Crowded House are so underrated. Love this song.
This is actually a love song to lead singer Neil Finns wife, that no matter the hardships they can make it through. He has been married since 1982 to his wife Dawn Johnson. You might like "I've got You," by the Slit Enz, which features Finn and his brother Tim. One of the first videos I saw on MTV circa 1982.
Yes! And I remember seeing them on American Bandstand....became a fan right then and there!
Split Enz
@@MusicReaction I bet it was auto-correct at it again....
82 more like 79, I remember seeing this on Ready to Roll and listening it on bus on the way to primary school., MTV might have been in 82 but the song was around a bit earlier.
Btw Mi Sex was better imo, Dragon, but the Enz def were a top No group no doubt.
@@maverick2242 Crowded House didn't form until 1985. Maybe you were listening to a Split Enz song.
Happy to see some Crowded House. One of my all time favorite bands. Neil Finn is a top tier songwriter!
One of the most tragically beautiful songs in rock history.
New Zealand’s own Neil Finn…one of the two legendary Finn brothers from Split Enz fame. Between Split Enz, Crowded House and Neil and Tim Finns solo work there are more hits and great songs than I can list here now. Who would have thought two lads from Te Awamutu would have had such an impact on the music world.
No doubting Neil Finn's talent but of course you don't mention the talents of Aussies Paul Hester and Nick Seymour as if they didn't exist... PS Tim didn't join the band till later.
@@LJW55 Hehe... a little payback for all the times Crowded House are called an 'Aussie' band! 😉
@@phillipridgway8317 Well, they formed in Melbourne and 2 out 3 band members were/are Australian... 🤔
@@LJW55 Well, with the number of Kiwi's living in Melbourne, it is practically a NZ city ;-)
@@funkyjbass7762 😂 QLD has more living here than in NZ...
So glad you found Crowded House - absolute class!
One of THE BEST songs ever written.
I’m with you on that. This song is VERY special.
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Crowded House is underrated.
There is freedom within,
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
Great opening lyrics to this great song
You certainly should not stop here as Crowded House , the Finn brothers and Neil Finn as a solo artist have produced such an amazing catalogue of work. Great melodies, great lyrics, great delivery. In good times or bad there is never a bad time to be listening to Crowded House.
This is one of the most romantic lyrics in music history:
Now I'm walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Listen to more music
I thought it was about those ruling the world trying to bring humanity down, diving people at all costs
In The Stand soundtrack movie..love it.
This is one of those songs that takes you away to another place.
200%
Every time I hear this song I think about the movie "The Stand"....and I see Molly Ringwald and Corin Nemec sitting in the living room listening to this song on the record player as they contemplate what their future holds....as the world has fallen apart with the plague. LOVE that movie
I was mentioning this in conversation a few weeks ago. We'll done!!👊💯‼️ Props for remembering that scene, as did I. 👍🙏
I was 17 when this song came out, my dad had died of cancer and this song gave me comfort. Now, I'm crying hearing it again 2 months after my sweet daughter passed away. I have loved this song for half my life and I need this song even more as my heart is broken and I'm broken with her gone.
Monica. Prayers for your loss and that you find peace. 🙏🏼
@monicatomaras1921⚘❤
Oh Monica I am SO sorry for your loss. My Prayers are with you and your loved ones .
Awww Monica. Big hugs and many blessings to you😢❤
There are no words… just know that people care.
"Life in a Northern Town" by The Dream Academy.
It is a total Amber song and has a great story for Rob. It's about a popular British folk singer Nick Drake who died unexpectedly in the 70s of a drug overdose. He went on to be a legend/martyr/icon of British music after his death. Such a beautiful song
That song hits hard. I went to HS where Christa McAulliffe taught in New Hampshire, that song became our unofficial anthem after the Challenger disaster.
"Life in a Northern Town" is a terrific song, but Dream Academy's followup, "The Love Parade" -- which I've never understood how it failed to succeed on radio in the US or the UK -- remains to this day one of my favorite songs of all time.
@@w.randyhoffman1204 Ooohh good one! I forgot about that song.
Power to Believe
@Penderyn I didn't say "Life in a Northern Town" was a famous folk song. I said Nick Drake was a famous folk singer.
The singer in crowded house was in the band Split Enz and spawned the hit "I got you" which is one of the best 80s songs. This song by crowded house is considered a one hit wonder but had another hit "Something so strong".
'Message to my girl' from Split Enz is one of my favourites of the eighties.
I think split enz had some awesome songs!
@@rileyandmike I know it for sure :)
I agree with everything except the one hit wonder part. It was probably their greatest hit, true, but they were a very popular band back in their time frame.
One hit wonder. You must be joking mate.
Every time I hear this song I think about that scene in The Stand. As the realization sets in that the world is changed forever, the two characters put the LP on the record player and play this song. Total 80’s nostalgia.
Such a great song. The hammond organ just makes the song even better. Probably my favorite song from the 80's.
Mine too!! My absolute favorite!
This song never gets old for me. As others have mentioned, "Something So Strong" is another beauty.
I saw Neil Finn sub for Lindsay Buckingham at a Fleetwood Mac concert in 2017. He was fantastic filling in for Lindsay with Fleetwood Mac - but, the band also sang this song at that concert. AMAZING!!!
Exactly
Love Crowded House! The lead singer, Neil Finn was in a band call SplitEnz before Crowded House, y'all should check them out!
yep i got you is a great song by them
@@Joshuadgog I know right!
I played Split Enz's "I Got You" on my college radio station. First time I remember seeing a laser etched design in a record.
The lead singer is Neil Finn from New Zealand, and was born and raised in Te Awamutu, as was i. He and his brother Tim formed a group called Split Enz in the 70s which was massive here and in Oz. Then when Split Enz ended Neil formed Crowded House with a few Australians and became pretty big for guys from this part of the world.
This is my favorite song of all time. Simply a masterpiece.
Another new artist to react to would be Bruce Hornsby and the Range, "The Way it is," a great "piano" song, from beginning to end.
That is certainly a good suggestion. Also Valley Road.
The Way it Is is a great song for many reasons, though I prefer Mandolin Rain a hair more.
YES!! I have requested BRUCE HORNSBY. Others have also, I'm sure they'll get around to him. All his stuff is GREAT, but my personal favorite is VALLEY ROAD!! 👍😃❣️😃👍
@@teresajarrell452 Absolutely right.
Neil Finn is fantastic, as is his brother Tim. Check out their previous group Split Enz & songs like One Step Ahead, Six Months In a Leaky Boat &, I Got You. Tim's solo work is great, too.
he’s now touring with FLEETWOOD MAC.
I Got You is fantastic and a great vid too.
And "I Hope I Never", which I think was they're biggest hit in the USA !!
The whole 'woodface' album is fantastic, every track as good as this. I played it to death for months and still pop it on from time to time
GR8 Aussie/New Zealander band. This song came out in 1986 when the Berlin Wall had not been taken down. This is so relevant to what is still going on today.
" When the World come in, They come, they come
To build a wall between us.. We know they won't win."
Crowded House are a rock band, formed in Melbourne Australia in 1985. Crowded House’s Australia tour postponed after Neil Finn catches Covid. They hadn't done an Australian tour in 10 years. Get well, Neil! xx
A great 80s tune actually one of the greatest songs ever for me. It's different, great vocals just downright good. 🎉🎊
Great band. They started as Split Enz (worth checking out) with the singers older brother Tim Finn.
ALSO: Neil Finn (guitarist/singer) recently replaced Lindsey Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac for a tour.
Not for just a tour but as of right now a permanent replacement for Lindsey Buckingham due to issues between Lindsey and Stevie Nicks.
One of my favorite songs of the 80s. Timeless. At the time I wondered if he meant, “Don’t dream b/c it’s over.” But obviously he means “Don’t dream that it’s over”-an awesome positive song.
Crowded House is one my all time favorites, brings me back to a time. I’ve seen them in concert, so much heart in their music. ❤️😁
Neil Finn is a songwriter on par with John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Check out Crowded House's "Better Be Home Soon" or "Distant Sun."
Cliff, we are on the same page!!! I second this!!! 👏🏻👏🏻
100%
Weather With You, Into Temptation.
Incredible song--similarish 80's jams from this era would be THE CHURCH--Under The Milky Way, DREAM ACADEMY--Life In A Northern Town & SQUEEZE--Up The Junction. Love you guys!
Squeeze- Tempted
I think Amber would absolutely love "Life in a Northern Town."
Crowded House were voted best live gig twice in the 90's.
NZ represent.
" In the paper today there's tales of war and the waste but you go right back to the T.V page." Such a beautiful lyric.
I think you can see why those of us who grew up on the music of the 70s and 80s think we had the best music. There is such a difference between what was and what is.
It's not even a comparison... Not enough variety these days. I turned off commercial radio when the daily playlist got to 75% hip hop/R&B/Rap.
If you ever want to see a grown man tortured to tears just strap me to a chair and force me to listen to that crap. 😒
@@consciousbeing1188 It's even worse when it's heavily autotuned. I worked with a guy who seemed to ONLY listen to that stuff. The ones he listened to were so messed up. I've never heard worse autotune. How can anyone listen to that & not get sick of the fakeness? It makes me sick within the first 30 seconds.
@@BillGraper - I hear you, my guy... It's not just the fakeness but the lyrics are generally so superficial... there's no heart in music anymore... The fact that the big labels refuse to allow anything that could be construed as politically controversial anymore just proves that the music world, just like TV and movies, has become so controlled and indoctrinated that anyone with an IQ above room temperature just won't consume it anymore. I enjoy media that challenges my thinking but that's not allowed anymore. We're told what to think in so many forms that we're by and large regressing. I won't entertain ANY mainstream media anymore purely because I can see the covert censorship undermining legitimate and much needed discussions in favour of a narrative that only serves those with an agenda.
@@consciousbeing1188 absolutely true. Such a lot of crap
I grew up then too, but I look for and find and listen to plenty of contemporary music I love, so... don't paint with such a broad brush maybe?
One of the best bands of all time. I firmly believe that if The Beatles had been formed in Australia in the 80s, they would have sounded like Crowded House. This is a rabbit hole you really need to dive into. They have so many amazing, lyrical, melodic songs that I can't even list them all... but here are a few. "World Where You Live", "Better Be Home Soon", "Fall At Your Feet", "Four Seasons in One Day", and "Not the GIrl You Think You Are". Neil Finn's voice is like sweet caramel, and it's only gotten better since the 80s. And FYI - there was a time when Neil Finn was a member of Fleetwood Mac! FINALLY - YOU ARE GOING TO HIT YOUR 1000TH VIDEO TOMORROW!!!
New Zealand Band - not Australian :-)
Paul, hate to break it to you, but Crowded House were formed in Melbourne, Australia. The only Kiwi in the band was Neil Finn, the other two were Australian (or one might have been American, can't quite remember), until Tim Finn joined them years later. But, unlike Split Enz (New Zealand band) Crowded House were an Australian band.
They were Split Enz formed in NZ before Crowded House.
They were OK at best
New Zealand band
One of the best tunes ever written... Period!
The whole album is so worth listening to
Neil Finn has one of the most sincere, genuine voices I've ever heard. Another song by Crowded House that's really good and really smooth is "Into Temptation".
I love the lyrics:
"In the paper today,
Tales of war and of waste,
But you turn right over to the TV page".
Some people say that this is a self reflective stament (of embarrassment) about how jaded we can become, such that we care more about selfish trivial indulgences than contemplating on greater troubles and injustices of the wider world.
Alternately, some say it expresses the feeling of hopelessness and emotional dispossession one feels when weighed down by the callous harshness and seeming cruelty of reality, and rather than focusing on these depressing things, you seek a moment of escape, so as not to be overwhelmed by it all.
Either way - both are equally profound commentaries.
Sadly, so few songs today have lyrics that provoke such deep personal introspection.
This is my absolute favorite 80s song. I melt every time I hear it.
One of the most underrated bands of that era. And this song was an anthem for a lot of my generation.
As much as I love this song, I am reminded how depression takes the brightest stars. On 26 March 2005, Paul Hester (drummer) was found dead. He had committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in a park near his home in Melbourne. He was 46 years old. His obituary in The Sydney Morning Herald stated that he had fought "a long battle with depression.
Yes, the farewell concert they did at Sydney Opera House is particularly sad to watch when they play this, with Paul there on drums.
Hessie's passing was truly devastating.
He was the funniest, most loveable guy ever. But he had a massive dark side that eventually took him from us.
Wow. Amber, you are only the second reactor I've seen who has instinctively grasped what this song is about. You remembered that the title of this song is "Don't Dream It's Over," not "Don't Dream, It's Over." You are exactly right: this song is all about not giving up and to keep carrying on, no matter how much life has beaten you down or how much it throws at you to trip you up, and how in the end, we'll win. Nicely done, and nothing but mad respect for your ability and instinct at interpreting songs you've never heard before!
My absolute favorite song of the 80’s! Hits me in the feels every time!
One of my favorite songs, ever.
The 1996 Live from Sydney Opera House performance of this song just rips my heart out ~ it was the last performance with the band for the drummer, who later committed suicide. RIP
The huge audience was singing along... not quite a Freddie Mercury LiveAid moment (nothing will ever top that), but beautiful nonetheless.
There´s a shot in that performance, just as the song hits its last note, that breaks my heart, when the camera settles on a couple sitting on the grass holding each other, in tears, and then pans up to the night sky. Yes, it was the last performance with Paul, but, for many years, we all thought it was their last ever performance. It was really classy to offer their "farewell to the world" free on the steps on Sydney Opera House, and just as classy to give their comeback concert free in the same place. Just tragic that it took Paul´s passing to bring them back together.
I was at the first gig back after that happened it was so emotional.
@@martinmcwilliams That would have broken me.
Great 80's song. I love this song
The ambient guitar stabs in this song were performed by Tim Pierce, session guitarist who has an excellent YT channel, and he talks about working on this song.
Personally I think this is the most beautiful song recorded in the 1980s. Quite often, and spontaneously, I catch myself humming the refrain " Hey now, hey now- don't dream it's over. " for no reason whatever. Such is the impact Neil Finn's best has had. Anyone else do that?
Their entire "Together Alone" album is perfection - check out "Distant Sun" - or frankly any track - all worth a listen.
Their album Woodface is superb. Fall At Your Feet is another beautiful song of theirs, defo worth a listen. Great songwriter with a voice to match.
Their first three albums are all wonderful. I still listen to them to this day. I must say, however, that Woodface is the only one that has songs on it that I actually hate. "Chocolate Cake", "There Goes God", and "All I Ask" are ones I always skip.
Woodface is one of my top 5 albums ever. Putting in along side The Beatles "Revolver", ELO's "Time", and Jude Cole's "I Don't Know Why I Act This Way." Definitely all desert island albums.
Exceptional album.
This song is completely timeless. Love it. Reminds me of the Steven King movie The Stand from 1993. It comes out during this dramatic scene. Great movie btw
❤
Stephen King
I love this song since came out in the 80s
One of the most beautiful songs from that time period.
Love how it takes me back to
Crowded House has a number of great tunes. Another Crowded House song to check out is ‘Weather with You’.
Neil Finn has such a great voice. In 2018 he started touring as part of Fleetwood Mac.
Memories abound! I was 13 when I first heard this, and it was the late 80's. At this point, the generation coming up was going sour on the artificial and overdone product that dominated much of pop culture. We wanted something that was real and to the point. There were many voices that echoed this sentiment, and Crowded House nailed it by saying: "We won't let them win."
I say, looking back, we did just that. Our need to be heard was received, and the world got to listen to our side of the story.
Gorgeous song.
Great choice!!!
i remember my mom taking me to preschool in san diego in the 80s hearing this on the radio..and absolutely loving this song..and i was a baby..everytime i hear this it brings back memories from when i was 5...wild..im 40 now
This is one of my all time favorite songs. It's just a beautiful song.
Neil Finn, lead singer and founder of Crowded House, is one of the most underappreciated yet accomplished singer-songwriters of the last 40 years. Crowded House and Neil Finn are legendary down under and in their native New Zealand specifically. Crowded House is my favorite all-time band!
Neil is from NZ, Paul & Nick are from Victoria, Australia. Sorry, just wanted to make it clear-people always say that they are from NZ but 2/3 aren’t! 😂
@@MrsBungle78 yeah but the founder is kiwi
Co-founders Neil Finn and Paul Hester they both formed the band and Seymour asked to join. And it was formed in Melbourne so sorry. It's where the band orginates. Plus NZ didn't even pay attention to them until they became popular overseas.
Yes Neil Finn is a very proud New Zealander and so he should be. But it's and Aussie band.
I don't think you can describe him as under appreciated when his songwriting talent had been noted by Paul McCartney and he was recently performing with Fleetwood Mac.
@@MM-tp9ck Neil & Paul co founded Crowded House. Paul even did a little drumming for Split Enz. Paul was one of my best friend from schools brother in law. I only met him a few times but he did make me (& my bff of course) dinner once! 😂
This was one of the two main songs featured on the original version of Steven King's "The Stand". Definitely a fitting song for a movie about the eternal battle between good and evil.
I miss bands like Crowded House.
Neil Finn is my favourite songwriter. Beautiful lyrics and stunning vocals. If you don't know him or Crowded House you're in for a treat when you delve further into this music. Fabulous live too!
It said it was about a boy telling this girl not to dream things are over very beautiful song one of my favorites from the 80s
As other have said, you should Check out "Split Enz", which was the forerunner of Crowded House. Good tunes to listen to would be "I Hope I Never", "Ghost Girl", "One Step Ahead", and "History Never Repeats".
Have to add "I See Red" to that list too!
Also "I Got You"
I always liked "6 months in a leaky boat".
i like "Bold As Brass"
Neil Finn, lead singer, is touring as a member with Fleetwood Mac. Supremely talented singer/songwriter. As is his older brother Tim.
New Zealanders 😎
Four Seasons in One Day would be a great next song from Crowded House.
I think that’s over for now, crowded house have reformed and released a new album recently and are touring again. I’m not saying it’s permanent but he has reformed crowded house 😊
Solo Neil Finn is great too. “Driving Me Mad” is a favorite.
This is such a great song.
Michael's voice was 1 in a million. Great band fun - fun -fun! Soundtrack to my 1980's. Devastated by his passing. ❤
As a professional musician for 30+ years I've got to say that guitar tone is absolute gold. I've been copying it since I started. ;-)
When you grow up or come of age under the influence of great music, certain themes have certain memories attached to them and take on special meanings.
I'm not here to bare my soul on YT, but I will say this song brings me to the edge every time. So hauntingly beautiful and serene. I weep for my lost youth.
I feel the same ...
@@sharonali3809 Hold on to your bliss. Cheers!
What an epic song from this epic band … nuff said .. enjoy 👍🏴
You gotta hear the band Split Enz. It's where Crowded House basically came from.
I'd recommend "I Got You" and "Message To My Girl". Amazing songs!
Love love love me some Crowded House! Next one logically needs to be “Weather With You”!! You'll dig it, too.
I’m always pleasantly surprised when a modern song uses organ music. It gives the song an ethereal feel. I didn’t know who did this song and hadn’t heard it in years, so thank you for reacting to it. I’ll have to listen to it again for the lyrics.
I love this band, seen them live a couple of times. Hell of a back catalogue
You guys really have hit the golden vein in your digging into the back catalogue of great music.
Shout out to you for listening to Crowded House song! A band made up of members from Australia and New Zealand. Neil Finn and his songwriting is impeccable on this. Fun fact: Musician Seth Haapu, covered this in the Māori language. An homage to the original.
Stan Walket also covered the song in both maori and pakeha
@@NathanGerrard Very true. Both Stan and Seth (Māori musicians) did a beautiful job of this song 👌🏽
One of my favourite songs of all time
It took me a while to realize the true meaning of this song. I originally thought it was about the downfall of a relationship, but I was dead wrong. The lyrics actually depict a couple weathering the storm, not letting the obstacles get in the way of their love. Neil Finn is a brilliant vocalist and lyricist. This song was covered by many, including a notable one by the band Sixpence None the Richer, but nothing tops the original.
Great reaction.
Timeless song.
Gives me chills.
