  • Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over. A very emotional last song from their farewell tour. So sad, Paul Hester is in tears. One of the best songs ever written. Thought I'd upload a decent quality version because the other videos on here don't do the song or the performance justice. Go and buy the DVD folks, you won't regret it! Recorded November 24th 1996

    03/26/05, Paul Hester 46, drummer in this video, committed suicide by hanging in Elsternwick Park near his home. If you are worried about a loved one or just a friend. Please try and persuade them to get help. You may be their life saving rock.

    Melancholia and nostalgia in a deep sense. This is what this wonderful song brings. The time I was really alive. I believed my life would be full of achievements. I sense this in the song, the sounds.
    Now I can function, work and earn a living. But things were never the same. Today I slept all day cause I had not to go working. I found no reason to stand and live my day as it happens every weekend. I am beat.
    The dream is over after fighting decades. 💔

    • @edcool77
      @edcool77 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello guy, regarding comments; I meant "a great pop song", because at the time this type of music was considered so. maybe pop a few years ago was of such quality that today it is not generally recognized in this way. "Alternative Rock" is rawer, style is associated with more powerful voice distorted guitars, and rather "noise" in some cases. However, there are several songs from the same group who go by that line, but do not think "don`t dream it`s over" is the example in this case. Regards!

      +edgardo gregorini Today pretty much anything that is guitar based or has the traditional rock four piece but isn't rock in the classic sense is called Alternative or Indie. However, this is pop at it's best. I will always think of the Smiths as a pop band, because at the time they were light years ahead of contemporary "rock."

      This also gives hope to our Queens in our life that we should sacrifice every fiber of our being to make the safe, happy, and feel loved at every moment. And when the hard times come, let us be anchor`s in their lives until we build them up and make them feel loved and cherished again.

    A very emotional performance from the band and brilliant lead vocals from Neil as always. Each time Paul the drummer cries it gets me deep down, especially as he took his own life a few years later and he had two young daughters. I can't begin to imagine what losing a dad as a kid would feel like. Such a troubled soul, suffered with depression for many years but his fans loved him to pieces and his legacy lives on. We still love you Paul. RIP brother! ❤
    Edit: wow didn't expect so many likes for this comment. Thanks guys. Hessie will always be in his fan's hearts and I know he's watching over his family everyday ❤ this live performance always moves me xx

It was toward then end of Crowded House first live American tour. This tune was climbing the music charts in the USA at the time. When Crowded House performed this tune the place went wild. EVERYONE knew the lyrics and the sing-along was AMAZING!! Just like then, the spirit of this tune lives on STRONG today! Thank you Neil Finn for introducing the World to your musical brilliance!

    I keep coming back to this video again, over and over... there will be a gap and I'll remember and come back and it's the same set of emotions each and every time.
    Put simply, this is one of the greatest songs ever written.
    Lyrically. Musically. Emotionally.
    While we are all mortal people, and we cannot last forever, some things are too beautiful to not. This song is one of those things...
    Don't dream, it's over... don't dream it's over... two ways to hear the same words, meaning two entirely different things.
    What I love in particular about this video is that when the song ends, they partially open it up, get the crowd singing it, and then end it again.
    You can feel the energy pass from the band to the crowd...
    It's as if Neil and Crowded House are "giving" this song to the world. It is an acknowledgment that they know they won't be here forever... but that the powerful, sublime song will live forever.

    This song was popular when I was a teenage girl vacationing in Florida with my parents. I fell hardcore for a local boy. Surfer... Shoulder length sun bleached hair, deep sun tanned skin tinged with a hint of red, lips that tasted like Carmex and skin that had the most intoxicating scent of salt water and Coppertone sun tan oil. It was very much like every coming of age movie that had ever been filmed on the beach. It was also the hardest "goodbye" of my life at the time. We spent 10 fun filled, magical days just hanging out at the arcades playing pinball, swimming in the ocean, floating for what seemed like hours on his surf board and stealing kisses whenever we wanted. I can still close my eyes and smell the ocean, feel the heat of the afternoon sun on my skin, hear the intensely loud sounds of people laughing and carrying on without a care in the world. Then just like that, it ended as quickly as it had begun. I can picture that goodbye as if it happened just yesterday. I could feel the breeze on my face as I closed my eyes and he kissed my forehead, my cheeks, my lips. My parents, so understanding and patient, sat waiting in our car in the hotel parking lot. I only looked back once after I walked away from him. I left him standing with tears in his eyes on that beach. My own tears fell as I stopped at the top of the wooden staircase that gave access to the beach, turned that one last time and waved goodbye. As my parents drove us away from the beach over that beautiful bridge that leads to and from Daytona, I knew I would never see him again. For me, this song is a sweet reminder of how innocent and equally brutal teenage crushes can be. But it IS a wonderful memory of young love found and lost. I can only hope that if he ever reminisces about that summer, he smiles and thinks of me fondly.

This was the last song they played, which is why the drummer, Paul Hester, was a little tearful at 2:53. In 2005, Paul committed suicide from depression - Crowded House went on to start the band back up in 2006. So this was Paul's last song he ever played with them.. RIP.

      +Top10Archive Oh, how horrible!! So very, very sad to hear. Poor Paul; wish he'd have gotten some help (or maybe better help). How ironic, also, they're sing "Don't Dream It's Over" (one of my favorite songs) - a song of hope and encouragement. Depression is a HORRIBLE, painful disease, and is still greatly misunderstood and disrespected to this very day. :-(

    Wow, this brings back so many wonderful memories, and also some sadness. I wish I could go back in time and tell my friend David (who unexpectedly passed away) that he made the world a better place. He loved this song.

      My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof is my favorite lyric ever.
      I try to live up to it.

    When MTV was about music, and music was about music. People cared about the lyrics, melody, telling a story about life. Beautiful.

      Music was about music long before MTV showed up in 1981. MTV was about using video images to sell music.
      This little group from down under has certainly provided the world with a handful of great songs...

    When you are happy you enjoy the music, when you are sad you understand the lyrics
