So very beautiful.....In working through enormous grief over the tragic loss of my youngest son, I listened to "Don't Dream It's Over" thousands of times...Sad, pensive, comforting, torturous, memorial...every emotion hits hard yet beckons and softly tugs at the heartstrings to listen just one more time...the endless looping of grief.
Neil Finn is among the greatest singer/songwriters of his era. He belongs with McCartney/ Lennon, Paul Simon and the other greats of rock/pop. He is profoundly underrated and has written some of the most beautiful contemporary music of the last 30 years. Thank you Neil. Thank you.
Such a sad/sweet song. Certain pieces of music create a 'lump in your throat' nostalgia that inexplicable - kind of a longing for something you've had and lost, or something you've never had at all. Does anyone else identify with what I'm saying?
Sometimes 'WORDS' can not describe it or do justice. This is one of those times....I think when a nerve has been touched and your emotions 'light up' and you can just 'feel it' ( like I do) whenever I hear this specific song. It IS Definitely a classic for me !
A sort of collective, loving memory ~ shared into hours ahead, though gently glancing back with longing, tearful grace. With high notes reaching for something hopeful, yet lost..
Dear Neil We played this beautiful version of your masterpiece at my late mother's funeral this week. She used to sing it and the words really did resonate with her journey. Thanks for sharing your musical gifts with us. I will always remember her fondly when I hear this song. Thankyou.
I had the very same thought just before reading your comment. He's still creating magic 45 years later. It's healing to see that some distinct happinesses from my youth are still here & in Mr Finn's case, flourishing. His genius is humbling and.I'm very, very grateful to him.
I played a different live version of this song for my graduating class when I was a teacher many years ago. I could see tears in the eyes of a number of students, I needed to leave the room before they saw the tears in my eyes.
almost 63 years old and I have always liked this song ( a lot ) since the eighties. But I have to say that I was literally 'stunned' by the beauty of this version of this song by Neil Finn , ' Don't Dream It's Over Now' . His voice and performance is angelic if there ever was such a thing. Neil Finn is an amazing talent that; hopefully, we can hold on to. So many great artists are leaving us way too soon (recently). Thank you Neil Finn for my favorite song; maybe of my lifetime. Thanks !
I still get the same feeling hearing this song that I had when I was losing someone I loved in the late 1980s. Thats the power of this song over 40 years later.
50 years from Split Enz Finn Brothers to Crowded House solo to Fleetwood Mac both him & Tim passion is music thank you for all there writings of great songs still popular today with a lot of people in Aoetearoa & Ozzie and around the world.
@@steviedean6597 Its very different. Like Australians to New Zealanders. Americans to Canadians etc. N.Z people are very nice. Dare i say nicer than Oz generally.
Neil is. He IS. He just keeps evolving and it has and continues to be the music that defies time and defines it in equal measure. This song puts me in 1987 driving my red truck over Laurel Canyon with that Boy I loved that lives in heaven now following me home on his Harley. If I could write with ANYONE it would be Neil Finn.
I saw Crowded House in 1987 in Massachusetts, at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. A Great venue for concerts. A friend invited me. I'd never even heard of them. But I've been listening to them ever since. All there music was good but this song stood out. Neil Finn hasn't lost a thing. He still sound's fantastic.
Just came across this, best rendition of that song ever. The violins and cellos are wonderful. Feels like music is the one sane thing we as humans do so well.
I’m counting the steps to the door of your heart....I mean, is that beautiful or what? This song has improved with Neil's age. Just wow. I could listen to this all day long.
I just listened to it 6 times. I think this is the most beautiful rendition Neil has done of this song. And he's done a lot of them. It's breathtaking...Much more poignant than the studio version. I agree- I think age has brought more depth to it, with some sorrow and melancholy mixed in.
Decades after I first heard this, I still admire the sheer poetry of the lyrics like it's really a poem in its first incarnation before meeting the notes to set it into a song. The mood is also a blend of melancholy and catharsis. It's a poem, not a pop song. That it hit as high as it did in the charts is a testament to the fact that there is still room for songs that do not have to be boxed in into the usual pop mold. This song lives on in my iPod and iPhone playlists. Hats off to Neil for this pure poetry of a song
you've put this seed into the soil and now look at how many generations and of peoples have grown with this...and every version is a rendition of what more it could be, I love everyone of them. they brought me away to a safe place when I was younger and they still do when I am older...love your lyrics and your soul...thank you!!!
On this subject, that last "now" goes beyond singing. It's borderline showing off (and I mean that in a good way). His voice is fine wine. I wonder when it will "peak."
Sorry for your loss, l tragically lost my beautiful daughter on 12th June 2021 in a car accident. This song was played at her funeral. Bless you Mathew Murdock. I am heart broken
Art is captured in moments, giving the painter of words and sounds spirituality, connecting him to countless souls in the universe. It is a gift that will live forever.
Well isn't it 2024. Aren't we all here. I mean don't tell me now it's 2026 and I missed another couple of years. Fook it, rehab is costly man, stay conscious and stop feckin' round with the years, for all the adams atoms that flick in and out, knowing beyond dream it's never over.
Normally a live version so different than the original is not this good.......This is beautiful, thank you Neil and hope you keep bringing us your beautiful voice!!
A most gentle, loving voice as if it's embracing you. Love the addition of the violins. I go to this song when the world gets me down. Thank you dear Neil.
I lived in Wellington in 1987 for a year (I worked on the Air New Zealand Airport Terminal Expansion Project) and this is also when I discovered Neil & Crowded House. I'm back in California now, but every-time I hear them on the radio triggers fond memories. I was also introduced to an aussie band "Hunters & Collectors" which I personally liked even better than Midnight Oil. I must be getting old as it amazes be "the crap" that's playede on the radio here in America these days.
Good grief, this is spine tingling. I wonder what goes through the heads of the people playing the strings. When Neil's singing verse one they have the look on their face that says they are immersed in it every bit as every audience member and they know they're in the presence of greatness.
I saw Neil Finn in 1990 in Deinze, Belgium. Crowded House released this song. The song is like a good wine, the older it gets the better it gets. Beautiful version.
I have loved this song since the first time it graced my ears those many years ago. The music, the poetry of the lyrics, and that gorgeous voice all came together to touch my soul. And it still does. Thank you. ❤
Walking to school with my girlfriend....who was to become my wife....on her 16th birthday....a boy in front of us walking had this playing on his radio as I asked her what she wanted for her birthday....this song playing the day we got married...and finally my wife says this will be played when she dies......the three most important days in our life...and I still write Don't Dream It's Over on post it notes for her and leave them on the bench when I go work...xxxx
The melody alone to "Don't Dream It's Over" is absolutely infectious. Coupled that with Neil's wonderful sweet endearing voice it becomes magic. Add that concoction with a dose of beautiful strings .. the end result? Heavenly!! Thank you, Neil and to the accompanying String section. An absolute gem!

Never a truer word spoken
Absolutely Agree Mate!
"He belongs with McCartney/ Lennon,".. LOL...just LOL.
JS MD...100% Correct. Brilliant Composition. And For All Of Us......
."Don't Dream It's Over."
No, he is not underrated but to put him in the same league of Macca is a big stretch.
Are we really that lucky? We had the privilege of being on this planet at the same time as Neil Finn.
I'd never heard of crowded house.... I'm 63.... but this song is just heart pulling beautiful
@@arthursteven5601He was also in Split Enz with his brother Tim. Give them a listen if you haven’t already. Great music!
I'm 71 and I have followed Crowded House / SplitEnz since they formed . Their music is simply sublime . ❤
This accoustic version is so beautiful. I never get tired of listening to this song.
Such a sad/sweet song. Certain pieces of music create a 'lump in your throat' nostalgia that inexplicable - kind of a longing for something you've had and lost, or something you've never had at all. Does anyone else identify with what I'm saying?

His voice is crystal clear. Can understand every word conveyed and the tone is right on. Rare with most vocalists today. This is unique-with strings
No autotune no backup singer...
So true, every word.
yes, this is my favorite video of the song on youtube. It is beautiful 09-NOV-2019
not whispering into the mic
That’s what you get growing up with choir singing. What you’re hearing is many years of good old-fashioned practice.
This song has improved with Neil's age. Just wow. I could listen to this all day long.
I think his singing has actually improved over the years!
I never ever tire of this song and that beautiful voice
i agree
So could I!
I completely agree

God bless u and thank for that gift
A lovely way to send her off. ☮️
That may be more beautiful than the original.
Mr Finn is So under rated ... One of the best Singer Song Writers of our Generation .. I Miss Crowded House So much
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve replayed this
The 80s man was like music from another planet ..i miss those days .

"Don't dream it's over"...gets me every time. Memories of going through my divorce in 1987.
Simply one of the most beautiful songs ever. A true masterpiece.
Agree one of my favorites
Concordo
Agree !!
And so true for today. Do not let the communist Democrats build a wall between Americans. Divide and conquer then impose a communist government.
this arrangement is so killer. the sound is perfect. only version I listen to now
When the time comes this will be my funeral song. Don't dream it's over, when the world comes in to build a wall between us, we know they won't win!
Has to be one of the best live performances on RUclips. Love the arrangement and he sounds great after all these years!
Neil's voice has aged like fine wine. Such an underrated song.
The violin arrangement is beautiful & soft, such a great accompaniment to Neil’s ‘song to remember forever’ ❤
A song that will live on forever. Thank you, Neil.
I played a different live version of this song for my graduating class when I was a teacher many years ago. I could see tears in the eyes of a number of students, I needed to leave the room before they saw the tears in my eyes.
I have been crying to this forever it seems Jenny 😞😎
Your students would understand a few tears in your eyes. Precious memories.❤
Why not cry? let it out.
Respect!🥲👍🙏🕊❤️
Some songs have that purity of message
If I had a voice like that, I'd yell out, 'Hey now, Hey now', all the time
..or Hell no !..Hell no !
Best post here.
Hey, you can say that again, now.

You should turn this memory into a song, short story or novel...
Neil Finn has one of the greatest pure singing voices. I love this.
Yeah, and also Nick van Eede in Cutting Crew ❤👍
This one still breaks my heart open all these years later~ Gorgeous arrangement and Neil never sounded better 💞
Never let them win.
Stay pureblood.
Can you even Comprehend the magnificence of this copulation of strings, unbelievable!

Mr. Finn, the only words I just want to say are "THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE AND FOR ALL THESE YEARS" excellent version.
I love the smiles on the faces of the string section when this beautiful song ends.
@Klemheist - They were proud to be playing that arrangement with him ... I doubt any of them thought it wouldn’t go well!😽
So many levels of this song. Vast emotions over the years come to mind listening to this. Always brings a tear to my eye. Neil, you are incredible.
Not many songs that can stop me in my tracks but this one certainly can. Perfect.
I remember being Young with this guy.
Thank Goodness for the Music. 🙋
A good song can be arranged in so many different ways and never lose its brilliance. Case in point.
Oh my gosh!! I just fell in love with this song all over again! The strings sound amazing and Neil's voice is so hauntingly beautiful!
Even years later, he's still got that beautiful voice🤘
You would be right to state that this is one of the best pop songs ever written. To me it’s right there with classics by The Beatles. Thanks Neil

Memories gratefully held within each breath ~ written so that all may sing!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who cries when they hear this song. So beautiful!
No disrespect to this song, cuz it is beautiful, but if your ears don't hear such beauty often, you need to listen to more music. It's out there.
There is no song that doesn't sound 1000% better with an orchestra of violins; fantastic.
It's 💯

you are lucky
I love playing Neil's song's on my guitar, a poet's music. Thank you.
When those strings slide in.... right into the tear ducts . Overwhelming.
The perfect message for 2020 comes straight out of 1989. “Don’t ever let them win!”
Listening to this too in 2020. Sitting in my home during covid 19 , hearing Neil's words, this song takes on a whole new meaning for me.
Amen!
1984 was 36 years ago. i got rid of my televison altogether a while ago.
The strings compliment this song so perfectly. It will always be a beautiful song
How beautiful is this..
No entiendo ni michi
*complement ... but yes.
Holy shit this man can sing. Simply beautiful.
For real. Some singers lose their voice, while Neil's voice has only gotten better with age.
Natural talent at it's best
Ho my... Such a beautiful song. Why there's no more songs like this nowdays
This is music. What passes for music on the top 100 today is not.
