No pro tools, no voice pitch box, just a man with a unique voice and a gift to capture a feeling of liberation and release.
Thank you for summing up what were thinking of Neil 👍👍👍
This very likely was mixed in pro tools. It’s just the industry standard for mixing.
One of the very best songs ever written. Period.
damn right
One of the very best songs ever written. Full stop.
So true.
Absolutely incredible tune.
🙌👍✌️
Neil Finn is such a terrific singer. He doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for how sensational his voice is.
Genius musician. 💯
Yeah he does
This song is so well-written, it's a masterclass of songwriting. Genius.
I thoroughly concur ..
Only certain song become timeless master pieces. This is ine of them. This song will never die.
One singer, one guitar...when you do it right, nothing else is needed.
True
And some electronics to add a drop of reverb to the vocal.
Some microphones, speakers, a mixing desk and a power source also helps.
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the tv page
A simple line that speaks volumes.
Amazing. Earlier today, I was at a really dark place. Now I'm crying tears of joy that I'm still alive and can listen to this beautiful piece of music. Thank you!
Hang in there! ❤
Music soothes the soul : )
Im Australian, my husband was New Zealander, i miss him every day,
Purely and simply, Neil Finn is one of the best artists to ever privilege us with his music and voice. Profitez, mes amis
Torally agree .Writes sensible yet very emotional hits that remain classics and should rwmain classics forever and beats the shit out of endleass crap talent shows do8ng depressing karaokes and fuck all else!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
He took an amazing song and made it even a little better. Not an easy thing to do.
27 yrs and counting. No stupid outfits. No twerking. No 50 dancers on stage.
No auto-tune. No lip syncing. Just an artist, his guitar and a timeless gem. I wonder... in 27 yrs, will people still be looking for the stuff that's out there right now?
beautifully stated Tony -- this is the perfect fusion of talent, poetry and gorgeous music
Magic Tony, Neils voice is pure brilliance.
A pearl in a modern world of musical swine. Thanks Mr. Diaz. Well stated.
Neil's songwriting and guitar playing are also brilliant.
tony diaz So true. Great assessment. Never tire of this awesome talent
Song of my youth, beautiful and bittersweet at the same time. Brings back memories of longing and regret. But still beautiful.
One song I won’t even attempt to cover sitting with my guitar. It’s perfect. I enjoy it with closed eyes and a grateful heart.
This song was one of the best ever written. A simple MASTERPIECE.
Beautiful song. I for one will never tire of listening to it.
It can happen mate, had a 12 hour shift, listened to on repeat, got fed up. Everything can happen, so maybe, just maybe, we can get all world wankers other office, normies could develop a filter, pigs fly. Anyway fed up a this now, so there's hope for everything, no.
@@Phoeagdor My comment was written 11 years ago. Still listen/watch that series of videos of this gig on a regular basis......... but not on repeat!
One of the best voices in rock that I have heard.
Just an absolute genius! Amazing track stripped back to pure brilliance.
There's a mysterious perfection to this song.
As a whole, I can't really pin down what it's "about."
It IS dream-like. It's a magic carpet. It wants to carry you away in the best sense.
What a Frickin' talent. You just don't hear songs like that anymore
Still listening in 2020...'Don't Dream Its Over' is timeless poetry. 'There is freedom within, there is freedom without, try to catch the deluge in a papercup...' is simpel a sentence of pure genius. It shows the strong songwriters skills of Neil Finn.
What does it mean though?
Neil finn could sing a nursery rhyme and it would still be magnificent
I'm a Little Teapot
He could write an awesome one as well
Don’t build a wall between us (for Humpty to fall off)
What a trio!! Crowded House, Aztec Camera and 10cc. singers. WOW!!
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe just how superb that performance was. Raw unadulterated talent at its peak. One man, sorry genius, and his guitar. If ever a melody raises the hair on the back of my neck it’s this. Utter bliss. Thank you Neil. x
J. effing C. its just perfection. youre right, i cant express. i cant get over how awesome his talent is. this deserves the 1 billion + views that plenty of other subpar songs get
Love this song; acoustic version is even better. Damn, such a great song.
This man is immortal. This song will never be forgotten. Humans have two natures; the one is to take; the other is to give. They come to build a wall between us but they won't win because the good in us keeps us inseparable from one another. Don't dream it's over. We are stronger together.
Magical version of a perfect song. Whenever life gets me down this melodic masterpiece will pick me up, for this song gets me dreaming and there is most certainly hope wherever there are dreams. Thanks for the music neil for without it the world would be a darker place. Don't ever let them win.
One of Those Songs ... you know those songs ... the ones that you remember hearing for the first time ... and you just know it is something special ...
Love this version, love this song, love his voice.
I’ve cried during the first time I’ve heard this version.
Masterpiece that will live on for centuries.
This is the category of top 50 best songs ever written of all time. Not sure where it falls but one of the best ever.
Who can say where a song falls as #1 or #100 of all time. Critics are men and women like all of us and where they place a song is always an opinion of the listener. The point is, it's great music. Yes, I said we are all men or women, there is no in between. If we have a scrotum we are men, if a Vagina a woman. Why many make things so complicated? It's one or the other period. You can tell me or anyone else your opinion but THAT is all it is, it doesn't change the facts and I for one will call it as it appears. I don't care about opinions, only the facts. Enough said.
@@robertjohnson3855 With your point on the man and woman issue, I 100% agree with you. But why was that necessary to bring up in the comments of a music video?? Seems a bit irrelevant!
When you strip it down to a one person performance, and it is every bit as good as TV, you got best.
one of the most underated songwriters of the last 30 years Neil Finn
there is something in Neil Finns voice and performance that is so amazingly deep,takes to a place in my own mind that feels very calm and settled
Neil Finn can sing the phone book to me! Beautiful voice❤️❤️❤️Awesome song❤️❤️
That was a gift. Wonderful performance Neil.
one of the best songs ever written
"one of those days when i wondered what i did right"..... you lived neil, thats wat u did right mate. its an absolute pleasure to be another human bieng who lives at the same time as you and hears what u create.
@Bec Cullity. Hello friend 👋 Nice to meet you here.
How are you doing today?
I'm starting to think that people who thumb down a song like this are doing it because in fact it is so powerful and real that it reminds them of their own life and suffering... so it doesn't shelter them as it does so many of us...
This. Song. Is. Absolutely. BEAUTIFUL!!😍😍😍😍
Plus they are cunts.
No, They're just douche bags!
There the same people who go to a concert and stand with a phone in there hand, don't know good music,
Absolutely beautiful!
One of the greatest songwriters we have seen.
Absolutely awesome song. Still after over 30 years. Neil Finn is great. +++
I had the very good fortune of attending a Crowded House concert sometime in the late 80's. My friend Mike was working as a DJ for a radio station in Santa Barbara while finishing his studies at UCSB and comped some tickets from the station manager. Now, I knew a little about the band, but I had no idea how incredibly talented these guys were prior to seeing them perform life. I was, to use an overly employed term but in this case perfectly apt description, blown away. And more than the music itself, Finn was funny, charming, and very humble in his interaction with the audience. As for this song, there are very few hits you can come back to again and again that hold their initial impact; "Don't Dream It's Over" has stayed with me for 30 years, and its mystery continues to resound through the changes in cities, friends, and lovers that have come and gone.
Was that the one at the Arlington, with Roger McGuinn opening? AMAZING show.
So right! I attended their final concert in front of the Sydney Opera House and the emotion during the playing of Don't Dream It's Over was incredible. For Aussies and Kiwis it's like an anthem. So beautiful.
I'm agree Finn also fresh
Every beautiful thing you expressed…
Fabulous version. Takes me back to summer barbecues in New Zealand - someone always pulls out the guitar and eventually plays this. South Pacific influence really shines through here.
Amazing voice. Super. You handsome singer Niel.
Wow! By far the best version of this amazing song that I've ever heard.
LOVE IT
This has to be maybe my absolute favourite song. I can’t put a name to the feeling I get whenever I listen to it… it’s somewhere between devastation and elation
Always loved, loved, loved this. And what a smashing bloke Neil Finn is, too.
Beautiful, and Roddy, a huge talent himself, so humble and appreciative. Just class 👏
I love the emotion in his voice.
I rarely do this but I sincerely appreciate what you wrote about yourself and your love for my music that shows that you are really a nice person to be with in person.. where are you streaming

Goosebumps... from beginning to end.

This made my day just a little better!
I don’t even have the words to describe how this song makes me feel.
Beautiful, really stunning!
Magical moments are so rare in life just like this song
I really dig his voice, guitar playing,
and dry humour....keep on keeping on Neil :)
this is soo beautiful, lyrics and melody are divine...got the Best of Crowded House as a gift in my 2nd year of university...1993?? And loved it on contact and it has stayed with me thro life and grown and lived with me..couldn't be without it now...it covers every possible human emotion in such a bared to the bone but emotionally intact manner...adore it and pas it on wherever I can.....
It's such a wonderful song. One of my all time favorites, for sure. Thank you Neil.
Neil Finn is magical!

Still listening October 2021. 👍👍👍Such a classic song. Will be listening still in 2050 🙏
Incredibly underrated band in the States and and incredibly underrated song. Period.
Without any doubt, one of my favorite songs. It is so charming, so pure... Very, very special. When I first listened it to Paul Young I definitely got in love with this song and what it means. Bravo for this group! Personnall and lovely... Thanks!!
It's relevant relate-able and sets the right tone when your down..even today. Which is why these songs will last the test of time. Unlike many of the songs at present that are mostly shallow and forgettable
One of the best groups ever
I agree!
wonderful song...and yes numbr one in New York,,,i am witnessed to that!..LIVED IN NEW YORK IN THE 80;S & 90'S.
Crowded House were and still are brilliant.
So incredibly beautiful.
What a wonderful song and so brilliantly performed.
How privileged are these people listening to this live.
What a really great song. It just shows that a great song can be played lots of different ways.
