How he kept himself from breaking down in tears is a mystery. I bet somewhere deep down inside he's wishing Paul was there with him and he was in spirit.
I was sobbing and I didn't even know Paul personally. I can't imagine how Neil kept it together enough to sing and sound great. The consummate professional.
Sorry, Paul, but, as a person with depression and knowing how others with depression feel, we know, and we understand. Glad you're no longer in pain, and thanks for all the beautiful music, memories, and humour.
Depression at its worst is terrifying, It has a hold of you and you don’t feel in control, you may have bad insomnia too with it and feel full of self loathing and shame over things as your mind drags up everything in your past to torment you. It’s horrific and it takes lives when people feel there’s no escape
This was an anthem for me in college, and this live version after Paul Hester’s passing is devastating. I honestly don’t know how Neil Finn got through it, but it is beautiful.
The Hardest thing I think about being a songwriter is writing a simple song that really hits home and this man is a MASTER OF IT.. say no more 🌞⭐️❤️🌞⭐️❤️🌞⭐️
Maybe, the loss was too recent and too raw, for a lead-in? Can we all please just pause for a moment to say thank you to Paul for his musical contribution to the memories of those privileged enough to view his video antics and hear his musical talents. As is stated, very audibly at the end of this "Love you Paul."
I still remember this even tho i'm in the uk - As lovely as the video is, it's a sad one for me, Neil looks heartbroken, and how he got thru the song after the tribute they did beforehand is a mystery. Paul, we miss you even now fella.
Neil kept it tight and together during this great and very emotional offering to the great Crowded House drummer, Paul Hester RIP. I would've lost it at the first verse since it is one of my favorite Crowded House songs.

I have been told people who take their own life feel their families would be better off without them, but I still just dont understand it. A successful man with young children who need their dad, a partner who loves them and parents who would be left devastated by the loss of their son. Just can't get my head around it...
Hey Aria channel, We (My brother and family) have been watching the clip of Neil on here for years and always loved the into tribute to Paul Hester. (To the point where we can easily recite the narrative and we regularly did.) Why have you now had it removed??? Seems like we have now lost a piece of history and you've ruined the spirit of this performance. Not happy!
Totally agree, there's no context here. Saw the video containing the lead in explanation for this performance years ago and just went to look for it again.... This is crap.
To anyone willing to listen, this life is a flit of a butterfly's wings. Death is eternal. Jesus the Christ is gonna be here soon. Get yer shit worked out. I'm trying (and failing) every day. Just gotta keep trying.
I have no idea how he got through those opening lines without losing it completely. As raw and heartfelt as ever a song was sung. He's incredible.
This was named the #1 moment in ARIA Awards history for a reason.
@@andresr7344 There was a TV special counting the greatest moments down just before the 2017 Awards, which marked their 30th anniversary.
How Neil kept his shit together is a mystery. Perfect tribute to Paul.
i dont know if he did..he looked to have been crying when he came out...

He walked off stage and broke down - or, so, I've read.
Neil and Paul were great friends.. this is how you talk to someone that cant answer back!
Strong for his mate. 100% respect.
I was sobbing and I didn't even know Paul personally. I can't imagine how Neil kept it together enough to sing and sound great.
The consummate professional.
Neil is teary eyed all the way through this song...and for good reason.
How the hell did he manage to sing this? Legend
The guy is pure class. All the way
Neil's performance was outsatanding. Sometimes I think Neil must be the messiah. He is definitely a gift from God.
15 years later....still brings a tear to my eye
Sorry, Paul, but, as a person with depression and knowing how others with depression feel, we know, and we understand. Glad you're no longer in pain, and thanks for all the beautiful music, memories, and humour.

And sure he did! I get emotional every time I see this, Neil is hurt and looks very vulnerable xx
Love this song....incredibly brave of Neil
Likely his most painful performance. R.I.P. Hester.
Hard to believe it’s been over 16 years now. RIP Paul. You are greatly missed. 🙏🙏🙏

A tragic yet magic performance from Neil Finn.
RIP Paul.... I love Crowded House, what a tear jerker performance by Neil... we will never forget you...
Hearing Neil sing this live is spine tingling
Held back his emotions just enough to sing the song
One of the best moments in aria history, listen to the emotion in his voice, utterly heartbroken
One of the most beautiful voices singing one of the most beautiful songs. ❤😪
The image of Paul waving at the end just killed me
What a songwriter, love him.
Maybe, the loss was too recent and too raw, for a lead-in?

There was a great lead in. It's been cut out. That's why people are complaining.
March that year. I still cry. I don't know how Neil got through it but for the audience x

18 years ago, our Paul left us without his joyous light. Rest in Peace, sunshine 🙏 🕊 🕯 xxx
Almost 16 years later and I still cry when I watch this...
This song embodies the emotions of a couple on the verge of breaking up.
incredible performance from an absolute genius.
Miss you Paul, Every band needs a drummer and a funny guy!! I wish they would play more with you in it. Your fellow band members miss you a lot.

He had also started a solo singing career sometime before his suicide. A couple of his songs are on here on TH-cam. Happyland and Pain by Paul Hester
You are loved Paul. We miss you and may you rest in peace.
Absolute fucking legend.
A band built on friendship.. It's everlasting
One of my all time favourite songs, just amazing. I only found out recently that Neil wrote it from a woman’s point of view, it makes more sense now.
R.I.P. Paulie... you are greatly missed
Shit...😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Neil, always the true professional..... How strong you are.
What a tribute.. Stunning..
Sail on Paul RIP
Pure class👌 RIP Paul 🙌
This made me choke up knowing that one of the band passed away.
Theyve cut the tribute to Paul at the beginning... please bring it back..
Good stuff Neil Finn mate Hessie is gone but never forgotten
That there is the face of private devastation.
Heartbreaking 😢
Beautiful music. you is Top. 🎼💯🎞🇧🇷👏
So brave to be there under These circumstances……
Indeed Neil Finn ‘It would cause me pain if we were to end
it, but I could start again you can depend on it…’ yes indeed
Great song.
Excellent!!!
Love you Dean. Memories ❤
Raw emotion
Get chocked up every time

I've been there and when you're that low you don't give a shit about what others think. You're unable to.
@Paul Jordan so very true
Grasias por Existir. Te Amo
Hi There, I always came to watch this video as it had such a beautiful tribute, why has this now been removed?
R.I.P Hessie.
Goosies . Love ya Hessie
😭💗
This had to be hard...
Something is coming of my eye
Hahahahaha I am going to the pharmacy to buy 20 boxes or more 😀😀😀😀
A band built on friendship.. It's everlasting
Where is the lead in bit?

They're obviously not there because he's performing solo.
So aware, but not aware. R.I.P Paul
I was able to keep it together until the video of Paul waving.

Cant believe they've taken it down..Paul deserved the tribute to be heard.
Very sad when Paul Hester passed away. Depression got the better of him
People who ideate need to watch this. Neil looks broken in this performance.
Don't clap.

Wasnt this a tribute to Hessie?
@@yellofury yes it was a really beautiful tribute.
Tania Phillips
Who cares about the “lead in bit?” This is about Neil singing to his mate.
It was a beautiful tribute, why is it in anyway appropriate to not acknowledge and to not respect that he had lost a friend.
@@kerryn6714 The "lead in bit" was a lovely video tribute to Paul, and Neil was introduced as it ended. So yeah, actually, a lot of people care.
Given that he's honouring Paul Hester, the clapping and cheering seem disrespectful.
