Yes. They're quite different from each other - different personalities, songwriting styles, and goals. I think they were both head-strong and Neil had his own different musical life to live. Split Enz split :( ... and Crowded House was born :) .
@@neilshepherd1904 Both fantastic musicians, plus got super cute as they aged. lol Split enz and crowded house gave us music to remember. Love them both .
Imagine being able to sit down at a piano and come up with this....the guy is a genius and this song is a masterpiece. What a bloody great band these guys are too. As an Aussie kid growing up in NZ, I am so glad to have been a teenager in the mid 80's listening to their music
passion & grit. it wouldn't of been an easy task touring all them years while still getting the creativity out. first class act. * shout out to P Hester 😎❤️ dad said to me yrs ago lad...all due respect but....forget led zeplin mate....thats my gen crowded house is where its at & ....he was right live music is where its at and these blokes gave it everything in the tank gotta love that.💯😎
Thirty-one years ago, I won my girl with this song playing in my 1976 beater Honda Civic. I wager this song can still clinch the deal even today. Thank you Neil!
wow last comment 2 years ago so sad only me here enjoying one of my fav songs, love it ! great work lads and forget what Rusty Crowe says ...Thank Christ for NZ ! and God Bless all Kiwis !
I'll say it as a Kiwi: thank God for Australia or the world would never have known Splitz Enz or Crowded House. But thanks to NZ who gave birth to the child.
My older brother bought Split Enz records as a punk when I was a kid in London. Heard them from him. Now he’s gone, listening to them always reminds me of him. Such great music. Kia ora to the Finn brothers & the rest of the boys. You made a difference to peoples lives & your music is out there in the world, entwined with our memories. Chur. Neat alright. Arohanui 💗
I saw them at Festival Hall in Melbourne Australia in 1975 from memory with the brilliant Bon Scott and AC/DC. I was 14! My brain was blown by the magnificence of it all!!
without doubt of the best songs ever written..nz was gifted to have split enz for as long as we did...years ahead of their time...truly gifted musicians
The self-awareness and emotional profession (and confession) is stunning. Omg a young 20-something (was he 23?) coming to that realization and making that commitment? "It's no New Year's resolution... it's more than that"? Who else but Neil would be that unique and rare?
@@jovesageradio that is true. But when the entity finds the right one...and the participant is willing. The river flows through them. The artists we revere and gave us timeless classics...all tell a singular story.
In a thousand years, this song will still resonate - for young and for old - it so perfectly captures the giddy uncertainty, trepidation and joy of the one thing that makes our lives worthwhile - love, and all it's consequences.
This song has me in floods of melancholy tears, and I really don’t know why… it would normally be because of a particular happy, or not, memory but maybe I’ve blocked something out and don’t realise what. It’s beautiful I guess that’s one thing ❤
Just saw a rendition of this song on tv for Mushroom records 50th anniversary. I grew up with this song and never really listened to it. Wow, now in my older years I think its such a great song. One of the all time greats.
If they released this live version on the radio today, it could easily be a top 10 hit. The composition is amazing, the lyrics are pristine and Neil's vocals are fantastic. Of course Tim singing harmony with Neil is ALWAYS magic.
Such a BEAUTIFUL song! Fantastic band. Absolutely fantastic. And this, like all their songs, is brilliant. Tim and Neil have bsolutely beautiful voices.
I saw the Enz on this tour. One of the best concerts I’ve ever witnessed. The entire band is so talented. I don’t understand why they’re not on the road every year. You know you’re going to be entertained when these guys rock up.
these two brothers & their associated band mates bringing joy into our lives since 1980 yep....since grade 5 these lads have made millions of people smile. seen their live shows from every city in Australia & i just wanna say thanks. thanks for the endless entertainment. 😎✨️✨️ ty ty ty😊
Neil Finn will make you laugh and smile & think "what a charming guy" and then proceed to SHRED your heart & soul with his musical genius. the most extraordinary regular guy in music.
anyone who has been on stage and felt their voice get tired and then start to go knows what Neil was thinking here, but he went for it and my god, his voice sounds sooooooo cool here when it happens, so cool :)
Here, There, and Everywhere edges it out. First dance song at our wedding in 1977. In 1990, we made the Worlds Greatest Daughter (Not open for discussion, it is a proven fact). In 1991 she went to heaven. My daughter and I miss her every minute of every day.
This music never ages. It's perfect. And I always associate New Zealand with it. And I believe the sea is in these songs. And for me, it stands for happiness. Even if it's only in my head, that's all I need!
Oh wow, I was at this concert back in 06 at the tennis centre, this song was the absolute highlight, closely followed by “6 months in a leaky boat “ though it was all magical. Was just talking to my wife about this performance a couple of days ago and how beautiful it was. So stoked to actually find it on You tube! Still probably the best concert I’ve ever gone to see. Love the Enz!
Grew up with Split Enz in NZ...used to watch them all the time at the Bowl of Brooklands in New Plymouth. Best memories ever..saw them many times. Have always loved Split Enz, and used to buy all their albums back then.. :) Have a very big soft spot for Tim & Neil.
Nice one Tracey. I saw them first in the early 70's at the Buck a head concerts. Then bought all the Vinyl. And saw them live in Welly in 2004/05'ish as the Finn Brothers, just prior to this tour. Forever and ever they are my NZ
‘There’s nothing quite as real, as the touch of your sweet hand’........the musical equivalent of the Steve Jobs quote.. ‘Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication’
My fave Enz song of all time. Was privileged to see this version in '06 at Adelaide Entertainment Centre. Brought a tear to my eye. And the song is finished unlike the original studio version
Absolutely outstanding underrated musicians.... A brilliant songwriter always takes me back to the greatest memories of childhood and era in music.... 🎶 👌
Great music is timeless. Nothing over the last 10 to 20 years, or very little I should say, is timeless. But 50 years from now people will still be listening to this and the Beatles and Led Zeppelin and all of the great music from the 60s through the 90s. Another way you can tell great music is when years later the artist can do a completely different arrangement the way they did with this song and it’s even better than the original. More poignant more emotional.
One of the greatest songs ever, written by one of the greatest ever song writers....
I was about to say every word you said. Absolutely agree.
@@mattieslurmusic absolutely right.
I concur
So right!
Beautiful song Love it
You can see the magic when they were smiling, waiting to finish.. and the the last line.. 👍🏽
Neil Finn, one of the greatest songwriters in history. The little brother who stole the show.
tim is still the 1 - neil knows
Yes. They're quite different from each other - different personalities, songwriting styles, and goals. I think they were both head-strong and Neil had his own different musical life to live. Split Enz split :( ... and Crowded House was born :) .
@@neilshepherd1904 Both fantastic musicians, plus got super cute as they aged. lol Split enz and crowded house gave us music to remember. Love them both .
Not everything he wrote was gold, some of his songs were just album space-fillers.
Personally I always preferred Neil.
Imagine being able to sit down at a piano and come up with this....the guy is a genius and this song is a masterpiece. What a bloody great band these guys are too. As an Aussie kid growing up in NZ, I am so glad to have been a teenager in the mid 80's listening to their music
passion & grit.

first class act.
* shout out to P Hester
😎❤️
dad said to me yrs ago
lad...all due respect but....forget led zeplin mate....thats my gen
crowded house is where its at
& ....he was right
live music is where its at and these blokes gave it everything in the tank
gotta love that.💯😎
Worse than that. He is that good. That the piano/keyboardest in the enz ( Eddie Rayner) is taking a back seat.
The best song ever when I was 23.....the best song ever when I am 61....!
Fuck, imagine if bands still aspired to be “GREAT”
Thanks for the endless incredible art, Neil and co
Saddest period of my life,splitnz helped a lot.
The chord progression in this sends a shiver down my spine.
I agree...it's a beautiful song in a melancholy cord...brings back wonderful memories for me
Loving this song all over again
such a beautiful song,just incredible.. Beatles level songwriting ,, seriously!
I love playing this on the piano. Like you say, the chord progression is really special. It's just a bit of genius, that's all.
Chord prog simple but absolutely knock out. Awesome songwriter and great wit too. Top guy.
Thirty-one years ago, I won my girl with this song playing in my 1976 beater Honda Civic. I wager this song can still clinch the deal even today. Thank you Neil!
My most absolute favourite Neil Finn song I sing at full blast in the car! Truly Beautiful song with heartfelt feelings for his girl ❤
wow last comment 2 years ago so sad only me here enjoying one of my fav songs, love it ! great work lads and forget what Rusty Crowe says ...Thank Christ for NZ ! and God Bless all Kiwis !
Thank God for New Zealand and Australian talented musicians.👍🇳🇿🇦🇺
Towering Talent from Te Awamutu.
Yes, I agree 100%!!
back to my beloved 1984, thank you
I'll say it as a Kiwi: thank God for Australia or the world would never have known Splitz Enz or Crowded House. But thanks to NZ who gave birth to the child.
One of the most impossibly beautiful songs ever penned
Agree. This song, and "I hope I Never"... Both absolutely brilliant.
will always be one of the most beautiful love songs EVER. timeless

Neil Finn is the most underrated songwriter of all time,my god McCartney and Finn get together now before it's too late.
McCartney's ego is to big . Neil loves collaboration
It's already too late for McCartney, I think. He's a spent force.
@@MrReasonabubble True, voice is completely gone.
I agree, these guys even singing together would be awesome.
McCartney will have to beg him, imagine what Neil Finn and John Lennon might have done
Classic. The first concert I ever saw, Split Enz at Massey Hall in Toronto in about 1983, with the Payola$ opening. Majestic.
I saw them at Festival Hall in Melbourne Australia in 1975 from memory with the brilliant Bon Scott and AC/DC. I was 14! My brain was blown by the magnificence of it all!!
Whoever gave this a thumbs down needs to be smacked.
Superb
By an old guy!
Stephanie Smith you’re right. This song is simply magical.
lol
Could have had some mouse coordination issue's or have no conscious.
Send a message to my girl.
.
I don't give up on love
without doubt of the best songs ever written..nz was gifted to have split enz for as long as we did...years ahead of their time...truly gifted musicians
I think this is one of the greatest love songs of all time, because it is a real love song, Neil's love for Sharon. Quite beautiful.🌟🌈🐶😇😘😍😅
The self-awareness and emotional profession (and confession) is stunning. Omg a young 20-something (was he 23?) coming to that realization and making that commitment? "It's no New Year's resolution... it's more than that"? Who else but Neil would be that unique and rare?
@ That's not always or necessarily how it works.
@@jovesageradio that is true. But when the entity finds the right one...and the participant is willing. The river flows through them. The artists we revere and gave us timeless classics...all tell a singular story.
Jackson Browne comes to mind....
@@dangawronski950 I'm not familiar so I'll take your word for it.
he is like no other!
Always the best.❤
In a thousand years, this song will still resonate - for young and for old - it so perfectly captures the giddy uncertainty, trepidation and joy of the one thing that makes our lives worthwhile - love, and all it's consequences.
Tim is so beautifull
Find someone that you can sing this song to, and mean every word and have them feel and reciprocate to the same degree.
It was mine and my husbands wedding song back in 1997
Oh yeah, easy....
Tru dat,!
Making me cry....ain’t that easy.
This song has me in floods of melancholy tears, and I really don’t know why… it would normally be because of a particular happy, or not, memory but maybe I’ve blocked something out and don’t realise what. It’s beautiful I guess that’s one thing ❤
best NZ band . Full stop!
One of the greatest songs ever. Pure heartfelt genius.
Ethereally beautiful. I wish I could step into the screen and enjoy this live.
What a bass lesson
Tim freeloading 😂
one of my all time favourites
Just saw a rendition of this song on tv for Mushroom records 50th anniversary. I grew up with this song and never really listened to it. Wow, now in my older years I think its such a great song. One of the all time greats.
Love, Love, Love...,
When the time comes, play this at my passing ... I still love this song after many years.
Massive thank you to Peter Green for the lovely reply.
Much respect from Sydney Australia ❤one for you my friend.
What a brilliant song....sung by an amazing human ....gold 👍
I adore this song. Still.
Not just an average live rendition ...... it’s more than that 😉👍🏾
New Zealand magick. Aloha 💖🌞
Such a beautiful song brings tears to my eyes written by a master
One of the best performances of anything ever.
And that's what it's all about
If they released this live version on the radio today, it could easily be a top 10 hit. The composition is amazing, the lyrics are pristine and Neil's vocals are fantastic. Of course Tim singing harmony with Neil is ALWAYS magic.
Listening to this song I can spontaneous burst into tears
The harmony on "under the MAT" is the center piece of this song. Whoever came up with that progression .... magic.
Loved this song in my youth. 65 now still holds its own. I seem to be playing alot lately.
Such a BEAUTIFUL song! Fantastic band. Absolutely fantastic. And this, like all their songs, is brilliant. Tim and Neil have bsolutely beautiful voices.
Oh God how I love this song ......Just so emotive and melodic....Simple perfection 🎼👌
My favourite Neil Finn song ... and he's done some classics 👌
I saw the Enz on this tour. One of the best concerts I’ve ever witnessed. The entire band is so talented. I don’t understand why they’re not on the road every year. You know you’re going to be entertained when these guys rock up.
They were the best. Loved them since my teens and I am 55 years old..
Seriously... good song... great life.... coming here again
these two brothers & their associated band mates
bringing joy into our lives since 1980
yep....since grade 5 these lads have made millions of people smile.

Oh here I go down the Neil Finn rabbithole yet again... thanks PG!
a total pleasure.
Always lost for words at the magnificence of this song, Neil and the whole team. Just inspiring at what can be achieved❤❤❤
Neil Finn, what a talent and musician. Love his work as it brings me much joy listening to him here in the UK.
So effortlessly brilliant. Goosebumps on that ending.
Saw this live - goosebumps for days.
My favourite song of theirs. Phaark they are GREAT !!!!
The guy on bass kicks ass!
I wish this was available on Apple Music
Ich erkenne, dass ich viele bin und reiche dir meine Hand hin. Danke
Very underrated singer/songwriter. Awesome show in Toronto last month
What a sensational performance
No more empty self possession,,,still trying to live up to this 🎉😊❤
This song makes me want to restart learning to play the bass.
Such a great melody ... Neil's vocal seems really heartfelt ... so pretty ... never heard that break before
anyone who has been on stage and felt their voice get tired and then start to go knows what Neil was thinking here, but he went for it and my god, his voice sounds sooooooo cool here when it happens, so cool :)
his actual voice makes it even better than before - love it!!!! (maybe a new recorded version comming?)
I don't get tired listening, just love love it!
Is there better love song - I can't think of one!
Here, There, and Everywhere edges it out. First dance song at our wedding in 1977. In 1990, we made the Worlds Greatest Daughter (Not open for discussion, it is a proven fact). In 1991 she went to heaven. My daughter and I miss her every minute of every day.
Takes me back to my teenage years, love this song so much, beautiful music too
Me too

The roots of the Crowded House sound

Driving into Caulfield in my '54 Customline I noticed a black '56 Ford Zephyr. Then I noticed Tim and Greta weeding the front garden x

What I'd give to get them back to The Bowl. It needs to happen
A song which I’ve carried around with me since the late eighties. Reminds me of one or two people who I hope I cross paths with again one day.
Still get goosebumps every time i hear this !
Even though this was recorded in 2006, I just want to say one thing.
I MISS THE 80'S!!!!
As a Wallabies supporter I revisit this video every time the All Blacks retain the Bledsoe Cup. Rekindles my love of NZ
Nice added bridge part to the song there near the end
still brings a tear to my eyes.
I still get chills...luv this.
