Another beautiful composition, despite it's sad subject. The young lady was great, & I'm sure daunted, as piano chord changes & echoes could really hv filled this song out. I admire anyone who has the natural talent & dedication to become a fine pianist. Neil Finn is a musical genius, so humble & generous too.. Bravo to this duo.He's a generous man.
heard this last night at the Fleetwood Mac concert when they were playing music over the speakers before the show started. I had no clue what it was but it was stuck in my head all night and into today. it was driving me insane that I didn't know because I fell in love the minute I heard it. I googled what lyrics I remembered and finally found it just now. lovely, lovely song and it was a very lovely night
Una de mis canciones preferidas de One Nil. Increíble actuación. "Simplemente" una guitarra, una voz privilegiada y tres notas al piano, y consigue esta maravilla ❤
Yes - I love that verse - something all pet owners can relate to. The studio track caps it off with: “And I won’t let go of the first clear moment I saw you” So good!
I have loved Neil for many years now... he's handsome and has the most beautiful voice... I'm so glad I found this video!! This song is amazing and what a nice touch with the piano and allowing a random to come up and play. :-D
He soothes my soul with every song he writes, the best song writer of our time, I can imagine it happening when I listen to his voice! I think angel when I hear his voice.....

Anyone know if the whole of this gig is available anywhere on the internet? I think it was recorded at the Brixton Academy and shown on BBC. He also sang Last Day of June, which I don't own but wish I did. The whole show was brilliant and laid back. Neil Finn at his best. (Or at least one of the very many times he's at his best!)
She's onstage... with Neil Finn... in front of a huge crowd... and her hands aren't even shaking. Go, girl.
This is why Neil Finn is a true and real musician. He doesn't need a big production to sound amazing! Thanks for posting.
this man's voice makes me feel feelings i didn't know i had....
the greatest songwriter that ever walked the face of the earth, truly beautiful piece of music
Seeing him live..oh ... I feel so blessed to see him and his son too.this man is heaven sent

The mans in a league of his own.Lovely.
WHY doesn't this have 129M views?
Neil Finn is utter perfection, on every musical level.
Truth.
The man is divine in every single sense. Heaven
I've ALWAYS felt Neil Finn's voice was so FULL of GRACE. Such kindness and joy. What a gift he has given us.
I’ve loved this song since the first time i heard it, but this time i’m crying. Maybe i shouldn’t have had that 2nd whiskey with lunch...
greatest living songwriter and possibly in history
I could and might... but not tonight. From split enz to crowded house to neil finn. Pure music!
This is no doubt that he is the one of finest singer songwriters in the World... and my favourite... gwan Neil..
I love how gracious he was with Fiona. What a fortunate young woman.

Well, that was portentous, wasn't it? :)
don't you mean it was "driving me mad", lol! ruclips.net/video/Vw3nRia7jJ0/видео.html
And here in 2019/2020 He is touring as a member of Fleetwood Mac!!!
The lyrics to this song are so powerful. Especially the last verse ...
I think he's addressing the Grim Reaper.
..i get goosepimples whenever i hear neil finn...
he's beautiful
Anytime, Neil, anytime, that you want a stand in backing vocalist, I'll drop everything and make myself available. She's living the dream! ❤
Oh Neil, you're SO mortal, SO talented! You move me...
How is neil not up there as the most magnificent human in music.. How can someone be this talented.. It's insane. I saw him live... Mind blowing

ive done short gig with niel on guitar.... ❤❤
oh my goodness.... pure unadulterated brilliance. I wanna meet Neil. After McCartney, he's the best!! What a song. Had to learn it myself.
Nah he's better than McCartney and so modest too.
So so good, ‘ I feel like I’m in love with a stranger I’ll never know, although he’s still a mystery, I’m so glad I’m not alone’.
Yes - I love that verse - something all pet owners can relate to. The studio track caps it off with: “And I won’t let go of the first clear moment I saw you” So good!
Damn my interpretation was still being in love with an ex girlfriend who has become a stranger. Both are sad
my favourite neil solo track awsome
Any of us could go right now! I’m so glad I’m not alone!
Effortlessly talented. He could sing the phone book and that would be ok x Love him x
What a great song. Beautiful.
Great singer / song writer. On of my favourite songs
i think i want this version at my funeral.i know thats a bit morbid but what beauty in the lyrics. ah men
Oh God, what a beautiful song!
Gorgeous. I would have been shaking too much to complete even one note. I love Neil Finn, he's has a beautiful mind.
It's a beautiful illustration of simplicity - it is so simple that anybody can accompany him.
I have loved Neil for many years now... he's handsome and has the most beautiful voice... I'm so glad I found this video!! This song is amazing and what a nice touch with the piano and allowing a random to come up and play. :-D
“I feel like I’m in love with a stranger I’ve never known even though it’s still a mystery I’m so glad I’m not alone…” Songwriting genius.
I absolutely love this on so many levels, soooo beautiful
Grandissimo Neil !! Love
Nothing safe right now Neil!
He soothes my soul with every song he writes, the best song writer of our time, I can imagine it happening when I listen to his voice! I think angel when I hear his voice.....
I would love to hear him sing the phone book. :-)
McCartney was asked what it was like to be the best singer/songwriter of all time. He said "I'm not sure, ask Neil Finn....."
Ah, apparently this is not a genuine quote. But he does like Neil Finn's songs.
Linda loved Neil’s music 💗
The version I initially heard was Hendrix said 'ask Phil Keaggy'
I wish the whole performance was available to download and/or purchase...
this man is just unbelievable, truly beautiful music!! always loved this wee track, cant wait for new crowded album
Brilliant!
incredible! gave me chills.
Wow, great version. the ying and yang in a neil finn song. Turning tragedy into joy and pleasure. What a talent.
🎹🎼🎸🎹🎼🎸🎹🎼🎸🎹😘🎸🎧

I'd love to know what he has in his archives. There's probably gems in there too. He hasn't recorded everything he's ever written

it was on channel 4 in the uk I have it on vhs it was on late on a Thursday night 2001
2001 english summer time
Pretty memorable moment for Fiona! :-)
Go Fiona!
not sure if i belive in god,but i do think neil could b an angel with tunes like this.
Interesting, as it's the original One Nil version of the song, lacking "And I won't let go / of the first clear moment ... " in the last verse.
the piano bit sounds better than the real track
Anyone know what year this is from?
If I was that girl, I'd be terrified. What if I mess up!!!!
yeah why were the other clips in this series removed! bring back the others.
what are the chords? could anyone help out 🥺
Too sad for a smart ass comment, bye ma wee Murphy, and all the wee fur babes.
"A walk in the park" You made it so easy to fly in the dark
I don't own a dog. I don't believe the story. I do believe we could all go when we go.
This guy cannot write a bad song! ... sorry think i accidently thumbs down! :(
