I love it when Neil says "the birds talk to me if I get down on my knees" He is such the bomb as a songwriter. It's like, where did he get that from.. deep!
This song is a romantic curse. Sang it at my brother's wedding. She stole more than his heart. It's still a beautiful piece of work. Birds r talking to me.. I'm gonna listen:) ..............
Great find. I remember this concert - I still have my shirt. The Opera House forecourt was crowded so much people were sitting all around Circular Quay listening. A night I will never forget.
wow... looking at the comment of those saying they just seen them recently really is a great thing to hear. I thought they had disappeared. These guys are extremely talented. I adore their music. :D
Love and joy and sorrow and mortal tethers of time...may your private universe become joy for every microcosmos in tears of hunger, cold, and beginners and music maestros and maestras.
on a sad note, some parts of this song are haunting as they make me think of paul hester's death. lines such as " the birds come back to the park to talk " and " highest branch on the apple tree was my favourite place to be " and the chorus remind me of it as paul died in a park and he had spent a lot of time in the park before he killed himself and it makes me wonder what went through his mind. so i feel like crying when i hear this song, but it is a brilliant song too.
The bass is awesome!! Specially in the outro part, at the end of the song. Crowded House is such an incredible and versatile band. The final part isis an incredible piece of progessive rock. the sound menisd me a bot of Depeche Mode at their best times. And the Lyrics... cheers!!
