Alan Arlt - Yes 😂 ❤

@EBISU 88 Who knows!

Nice

Puts modern music to shame big time

your comment hit me so hard, I started sobbing when I read it. It made me see this year from a future perspective, it's going to be seen as the year that changed everything

T Moody and Lisa, yip, but.. 🌏 Don't let them win! 💕Don't dream it's over🎶Souls never die💖

🌹🇮🇪

❤🇵🇭 stronger

I just came here hoping for this after reading about RBG.

I know, never.

Nice to know there are so many of us out there who think the same. When I found this song it was when the Berlin Wall came down. It was as if was meant to address that ..yet this was 3 years prior. Many of my own friends never heard of this group then. Now it's as if it was written for today's world. Every word fits into a universal piece of the puzzle..That's genius !

Quite probably the best popular song ever written. Never tire of hearing it and looking forward to seeing the guys in Glasgow in a couple of days' time.

Aged well. This version even beats its old version...😁 So love this song!❤️😘

Dude this is Way Freaking Cool :) One of the benefits of the lock down is we get brilliant musicians making these intimate videos of these awesome songs. Really enjoyed listening.

♥️🕊🙏

This is so painfull to me but is the greatest split up song ever written

Agreed

❤ ❤ ❤

🔥

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

And "Message To My Girl" is another. The man is a genius.

And the message is still current.

Dont we all

Absolutely.

Paul is still with them..

Hester also played with Split Enz, loved the tune "I Get Frightened". RIP my friend.

So say we all :-)

second to the reduction in global pollution.

#Pyjama vibes.

Crowded House owned the airwaves in the spring of '87 with this song... I'd be honored if some fans of mid/late 80s classics would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN by Dream Academy and IS THIS LOVE by Whitesnake on my YT channel in tribute to the era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace and everybody stay safe.

@@Basman59 That's not producted, that's reducted.

Just wait about 8 more months and you'll rethink that statement ;)

Never get tired of listening to any crowded house masterpiece.

Ditto.

December the 1st

Idem Alana, no se cansa uno de escucharlos lo escucho desde marzo que empezó la pandemia acá en Monterrey N.L. México.

Listening to it December 22,,

A bomage to the lrgan interlude in A Whiter Shade Of Pale me thinks.

Ahh, those first sustained notes... very elegant and longing. Cheers from Mexico!

I knowwww!!! That's really fantastic

For sure! And the solo and modulation afterwards are brilliant, too.

Gets me too, I could have it on a loop all day long and never get tired of it, so simple but haunting, fits the mood of the song perfectly

Nicely done !

How sweet and very rewarding.

I'd wager that's not the only thing you did right. Music transcends everything.

You did more right than that. We can tell.

I'm a metal guy too, but your comment really resonated with me :)

Right on brada.

when we didn't know what we had or didn't have...so true

Feeling your comment bro.

Right on brada. We were all there just standing in a different spot of the world.

I do too...every single time I hear it. Brilliant!

thank you for your support, Neil Mullane Finn will love to chat with you through this email: neilfinn.connects@gmail.com

Katie (& others) you probably know this but just in case, ignore "neil Finn". The real NF's team has been informed.

🤣😂😅

🙌🏼 the soundtrack to my innocent childhood... aussie summers and freerange kids.

Indeed. I heard this back when it came out in St Petersburg FL and the rhythm guitar reminds me of how sunlight dances on the tips of waves and how those waves roll on by. That's the immediate image in my mind that this song brings. Two other bands that I enjoy from this time on par with Crowded House are early Aztec Camera and Echo and the Bunnymen. I consider these groups as the pinnacle of 1980s pop music.

If this song gives you 'the feels' then you're a friend of mine 🤗 ✌Peace from New Zealand 🇳🇿☮🇦🇺

Hiya friend!

I miss the 80’s. I was there from the age of 6-16. All the best music and films. So many good memories.

Absolutely. I was thinking of watching them live at the Farewell To the World concert, and how emotional that version still is to this day

Yes, often think of Paul Talent taken early

think this song is telling about how adversities in life affect a relationship. >There is freedom within, there is freedom without There is freedom within, or without a relationship. He is admitting his skepticism about the fate of the relationship. He doesn't know if his love will able to pull through the hard times. >Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup The deluge represents the adversities life throws at them, and the paper cup represents his helplessness in the outcome. (For those that don't know, a deluge is a severe flood, or influx of water) >There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost There's a lot of obstacles in this relationship, and a lot of them take a toll >But you'll never see the end of the road >While you're travelling with me He admits that the obstacles will never end >Hey now, hey now >Don't dream it's over >Hey now, hey now >When the world comes in >They come, they come >To build a wall between us >We know they won't win He's trying to comfort her. "Don't wish it's over. Don't let the world tear us apart." >Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof >My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof He suspects that life is trying to tear them apart by all the misfortune happening (Broken down car, a hole in the roof) >In the paper today tales of war and of waste >But you turn right over to the T.V. page A metaphor for how the relationship is working. He's emotionally distraught because of life's adversities, and she wants to pretend like everything is okay. Or she simply has lost interest in trying to sympathize with him. She's ignoring it, nonetheless. >Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum >And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Towards the end, the tone of the song becomes more upbeat, showing progression. At this point, he's picked himself out of depression, and wants to rebuild the relationship >Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof >Get to know the feeling of liberation and release He reflecting on the fact that only a relationship that has been to the brink of collapse can truly know liberation and release from unsatisfied love. >Don't let them win A final plea for her their love to survive adversity.

Sure as hell they won´t!...The mediocre bastards!

@@birdsong985 >There is freedom within, there is freedom without (within/out Nations, States, todays Collectivism) >Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup ( being struck by the unexpected (deluge) coz low concious ("small" paper cup)) >There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost ( the human idea/spirit is being supressed a long time and its freedom is challanged) >But you'll never see the end of the road (long process) >Hey now, hey now >Don't dream it's over(long process) >Hey now, hey now >When the world comes in >They come, they come >To build a wall between us (mass manipulation of devide and conquer) >We know they won't win (optimism) >Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof (clearly visible problems) >My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof (DENIAL) >In the paper today tales of war and of waste(news) >But you turn right over to the T.V. page(Denial + Mass Manipulation+ controlled attraction psy.) >Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum (Indoctrination) >And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart (Mass Psychology / Analyzing society -counting-) >Only shadows ahead barely clearing the roof (very delusive) >Get to know the feeling of liberation and release (slowly realizing what it really would mean to be free) >Don't let them win ( Dont let them control your life )

@@thetruth2429 )

Don't build a wall between us... :)!

And his other son Elroy on drums

@@richardkenna149 His Boy, Elroy. I LIKE it; I'm guessing that Neil was a "Jetsons✈" fan!!😀

Wow that’s awesome both sons and his band they sound so tight: well of course!

I have a son Liam. And I once told him that you'll never see the end of the road while you're travelling with me. Amen to that.

That is cool info, I did not know that. :-)

tranqui, nunca morirá la buena música

big spoon same for me.

❤️

Yes

Do you know what vocal range means?

True this song is hard to sing

I saw him play this live with Fleetwood Mac last year and he sounded this good

I think you should play the original again if you think he sounds the same in this version lol

Hear Hear !!!!

So well said, stratboy Lc! I totally concur! I dream of writing a song with even a hint of this kind of perfection. Be well, stay happy!

The one who said 80’s music is garbage only shows ignorance my friend!!!!

@@robertoliver166 - You are so right. I was born in 1962, grew up with the Beatles mainly due to my older brother's playing them. Personally they're my favorite group. In every decade, 60's, 70's, 80, 90's there have been those who stand out and this song is certainly one of them along with this talented band.

80s and 90s golden period compared to last 2 decades

I think he's even better. But he might not be what he is musically, if not for the Beatles.

"don't ever let them win" 😢

Nick is an absolute legend

It sounds really good too!

very cool

Is he in pijamas ? The first guitar seems too

Me too🙂

Hahah

Well put

👍

Wish I could like your comment 1000 times. Cheers mate!

Karaspiration Same here with the tears.

Amen and ditto to all of you. This made my whole day before 10 AM!

Yep bang on the same feeling mate. If the nostalgia of all my days could be placed in a song, it is this one.

@@shawniemar Bassline hit and I was bawling. So many days of youth ago.

That song always sends shivers down my spine and is the soundtrack to my youth. Beautiful heartfelt rendition.

Think we all do

Arne D We all do...one day! ❤️

Também

sounds like that wall between us-are they winning?

LOL! I said the same thing to my son! 😂

Loving your comment. Stay alive and enjoy the ride, mate ;)

Right ? !

👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍

Love it!x

Neil's son.

i agree 100 percent. to be fair though, he doesnt have to coax that rich tone. his guitar plays it willfully.

@@beckym8245 is that another son on drums?

Yes. Both sons. The sound of Liam's guitar is so rich. They do a podcast

That Telecaster…!

Saludos desde California USA😊

Actually, it has just entered its existence in a fourth decade, and it indeed has defined every single one of them since being released in 86. Timeless.

São 183 idiotas. Um baita clássico desse.

They come from a place that recognize "good" as thumbs down

4 more added

188 people have clearly "let them win"...

Maybe they fell on their heads and are impaired mentally!

Go look up Split Enz too. And Tim Finn, Neil's older brother.

@@becd1934 I have. His older brother Tim was instrumental(NPI) in Neil's life. The Split Enz don't do as much for me, but they were unique and ground breaking. Neil's songwriting ability is more to my liking.

Geno Kearney i say it all the time😁

I was born in 2001 but sometimes wish I was born in the 70/80's to go to live concerts of the classic rock artists.

Geno Kearney me too, my friend, me too.

@@lucybebrouth1215 There were some great shows for sure.

@@genokearney I bet- I love bands like Fleetwood Mac, led zeplin and the who

“ Trying to catch a deluge in a paper cup” always stuck with me 😬

@@jenniferchough I had heard this song so many times in my life, and even with NF/CH being regularly compared to the Beatles, I didn't figure out that that line was a reference to Across the Universe (Neil said that was the song he most wished he had written). An interviewer mentioned it and I thought "DOH" how did I not get that!?

“I’m counting the steps to the door of your heart”.

Song is full of amazing lines.

Crowded House OWNED the spring of '87 with this... I'd be honored if some fans of mid/late 80s classics would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of LIFE IN A NORTHERN TOWN by Dream Academy and IS THIS LOVE by Whitesnake on my YT channel in tribute to the era.

O homem disse que era a música do REINALDO KKK demorei uns 10 segundos pra entender.Viva as bandas anos 80!🇧🇷 Brasil loves YOU!

Even Neil Finn is surprised with this one. He said something once like 'sometimes you just get it right' or something like that. It's an absolute masterpiece.

Jenny Fox how does one not believe in God when looking at you 😍😍

Truly bright!

@@jcsaito4780 thank you that's very nice.

@@halloweenjack4482 it is a strange mix of talent, timing and happenstance.

Nice. I sang to my baby boy McCartney's Bluebird...well into his teens. A special father/son forever memory. 😊

I think of my beautiful girlfriend when I listen to Crowded house. She lost her life in 2000 she is always in my thoughts

@@mikeyoung7660 I'm very sorry for your loss. Music can take us back. Sometimes the memories are painful, but I wouldn't choose to forget, even if I could.

beautiful

@@mikeyoung7660 I'm so sorry. But I'm glad such lovely music reminds you of her.

Sure, but not only For the music . 80's were the best decade for our liberty, our opinions without censure , and street art ...it was a great decade. Young people can never understand what we feel. If I could, I go back to this period..the best of my life.
