There are two men on this planet who can take compelling, complex melodies and combine them with brilliant, irresistible hooks - Neil Finn and Andy Partridge.
Everything about this song is so good! The intro, the verse, the chorus, the bridge, the ending, the sound, the tune, the 90's feel, the mysterious meaning... Everything!
Listening to Crowded House is like receiving a massage. I love it. Something surprising happens in Spain with Crowded House. People know several songs but they don't know the name of the band. If you say someone: "do you like Crowded House?" They answer you: "what's that?" Then you sing "the weather with you" or "Don't dream it's over" and they say: Oh yes, I've heard those songs, I love them 😄😄😄🤦🏻♂️🤦♀️🤦🏻♂️🤦♀️
I might be wrong but I suspect part of the reason is that this song is pitched in the upper limits of his chest voice. The chorus must be pretty difficult to sing (deliberately going in and out of falsetto). It must be difficult to get any power in the voice in the chorus. In the studio it might have been less of an issue as you can adjust levels etc. Still, the 1990s live performances on YT are v good despite this imo. It must be a very difficult song to sing live. Really great song.
I lit the match I lit the match I saw another monster turn to ash Felt the burden lifted from my back Do you recognize the nervous twitch That exposes the weakness of the myth When your turn comes 'round And the light goes on And you feel your attraction again Your instinct can't be wrong Separate the fiction from the fact Been a little slow to react But it's nearly time to flip the switch And I'm hanging by a single stitch Laughing at the stony face of gloom When your turn comes 'round And the light goes on And you feel your attraction again Your instinct can't be wrong Feelings come and go Where the true present lies are Calling down Calling down Calling Laughing at the stony face of gloom When your turn comes 'round And the days get long And you feel your attraction to him Your instinct can't be wrong Calling down Calling down

They are both great but there are lots more than just two.
Word
Arizona Rogerson You may. He is the leader and chief songwriter for the band XTC. Check out their catalog - you won’t be disappointed.
What about Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze, Jason Falkner, Jellyfish, Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney etc
I would add Tilbrook and Gifford
Ahhh I remember buying Recurring Dream for this at 11 years old, love this track ! 🙌

Neil's voice has been giving me goosebumps for multiple decades now! Like no other!
Nick Seymour's bass line is amazing here.
Hi have a good night sleep
oh god, this masterpiece of a pop song and only those few views.... In the 90s everyone knew this was a masterpiece. Let's rescue this song again
Neil Finn’s voice resonates through the world 🌏🎶❤️
Good lord, this man can do no wrong.
Still in love with this in 2020.
This is my favourite by them.
Cannot get it out of my head, in the best possible way.
Ah not heard this for years. How could I forget?

same here. people know the song not the band
Even Neil's 'filler' tracks for a best of are a cut above the best efforts of most.
It's not a filler track. It was written as a goodbye to the fans.
One of my favourite crowded house songs - why don't they play it live ?

Gives me a. Nostalgic blast
Great bass...🙂 love this 😎

Oh my! A shortly forgotten treasure
Had never seen this before!! Great stuff

Do you recognize the nervous twitch
That exposes the weakness of the myth
When your turn comes 'round
And the light goes on
And you feel your attraction again
Your instinct can't be wrong
Separate the fiction from the fact
Been a little slow to react
But it's nearly time to flip the switch
And I'm hanging by a single stitch
Laughing at the stony face of gloom
When your turn comes 'round
And the light goes on
And you feel your attraction again
Your instinct can't be wrong
Feelings come and go
Where the true present lies are
Calling down
Calling down
Calling
Laughing at the stony face of gloom
When your turn comes 'round
And the days get long
And you feel your attraction to him
Your instinct can't be wrong
Calling down
Calling down
Your finest track, in my opinion. Like nothing I'd ever heard before. Thank you
so frustrating that they wont play it
Great great song!!!
Eerie how Paul is only in one scene. Miss him.
@@sirandrelefaedelinoge At 1:10. He gets in the driver’s seat of the car.
I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me. But it was Paul. I cried when he died.
I blinked, and the whole era was gone.
Was it the heterophobia that did it? Impending, like on this video.
Gives me goosebumps 😍🎶👌🏻💓👍🏻
Just incredible...
Just love this
Who is the pointy eared model? Beautiful song.
What a shame they never perform this live anymore
exactly ! why do they neglect this song ?
@@stuartshire or any songs from Intriguer and Time on Earth
@@chantalfinn6173 they did Elephants on their most recent tour !
@@stuartshire he didnt in Toronto but his song catalogue is extensive including solo and with Tim
Their best ever song

The member so the group consider this their worst video. I think they had a lot worse. Regardless, I have always liked the song.
Great song, pity about the video.
