    Split Enz - One Step Ahead - Official Video - 1980 - Remastered
    • Split Enz - One Step A...
    "One Step Ahead" is a song by New Zealand group Split Enz. It was released in November 1980 as the lead single from their sixth studio album "Waiata" and peaked at #5 and #6 in Australia and New Zealand respectively.

    This song is soooo ahead of it's time. This is 1980, yet it still sounds modern today. Split Enz is amazing. This is why bands like the smiths, pearl Jam and radiohead put Split Enz right up there with the beatles as the best band ever....
    Lyrics
    One step ahead of you
    stay in motion, keep an open mind
    Love is a race won by two
    Your emotion, my solitude
    If I stop I could lose my head
    So I'm losing you instead
    Either way I'm confused
    You slow me down, what can I do?
    There's one particular way I have to choose
    One step ahead of you
    Always someone makes it hard to move
    She says, Boy I want you to stay
    But I save it all for another day
    If I stop I could lose my head
    But I'm ready for romance
    Either way I'm confused
    I don't know what I'm supposed to do
    I can only stay
    One step ahead of you
    Da, da, da, da, da
    Da, da, da, da
    Da, da, da, da
    Da, da, da, dumb
    Stop, I confess sometimes
    I don't know where I'm going
    Part of me stays with you,
    I'm slowing down, what can I do
    It's hard to stay one step ahead of you
    (Uh huh)
    One step ahead of you
    Time is running out
    Catching up with you
    One step ahead of you
    When I hold you close
    Can I really lose?
    One step ahead
    Only one step ahead
    She's one step ahead of you

      That's falsely told about several several songwriters. Because McCartney was going on a tour of Australia and New Zealand, on Facebook he was asked about that "quote": "McCartney also confirmed in the over-30 minute chat that the long-running rumour he once referred to Crowded House frontman, Neil Finn, as the world's greatest songwriter is false." He added that he liked Finn's songwriting. That's all.
      In another interview, he said he admires Bob Dylan, Brian Wilson, Neil Young, and Paul Simon.

    Hell yah, you got it. I was listening to them right after high school in 1975 when I became a huge fan. The brothers Neil and Tim Finn produced so much genius music with Split Enz, and then went off on separate and solo careers for a while, but continued to collaborate. I got to see Neil Finn's spinoff group, Crowded House ("Don't Dream It's Over") live in 1990, when half way through the set, Tim Finn came out and reconstituted Split Enz for the rest of the set. The crowd went nuts with many attendees holding up album covers of Split Enz records. It was like a reunion of Lennon and McCartney. It is one of my top 5 concert memories in my life.

    Just give me a starting time 30 minutes before the event.
    That's not including the anxiety attacks though. Then I just don't show. Or I'll sneak in late and hide in a corner. Then help with any clean-up afterward. I'll usually be one of the last to leave because that's how I show how important the event was to me.

    Tim was good, but Neil had a better voice, and his delivery was phenomenal. He was a better writer too. Once he got a tad older and was able to do most of the lead vocals, it really became his band, as this song shows. You can listen to this song, and hear the similarities to Neil's solo work and Crowded House. don't think Split Enz would have transitioned into a serious band under Tim's leadership. IME, under Tim they would have continued to be an art band, and like so many others of that era and that original style, faded out.
    One other band that made the successful transition from a variety act / artsy band, into a powerhouse of hits around the same time, is The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo, forned in 72' and led by Richard Elfman. It was pretty much art and theater students that did elaborate street performaces, Richard was a up and coming movie producer and actor. In 76' it was taken over, again as in Split Enz, by a much more talented younger brother, Danny Elfman, Danny kept the theme and the name, but he had real drive and purpose, and got the on the Gong Show. A few years later, he changed the format to a real band, dropped everyone but the core players, and replaced a few of them, and changed the name to simply, Oingo Boingo, with a New Wave sound and a post punk edge. If you haven't done Just Another Day, or Stay by them , you should.
