How do you even write a song like this???let alone everyother song this man composed....absolute musical genius. Blessed enough to have seen him live .legend
Just rediscovered this absolute gem of a song after hearing it used so brilliantly in the series finale of The Affair. Not heard the song for years. Video is terrific too!
I adore "Try Whistling This" an absolute work of art. I enjoyed this video too. Thank you Mr Finn for the thousands of hours of enjoyment and inspiration you have brought me over the years, there have been times when you have literally saved my life with your songs.
Absolutely a work of art , Try Whistling This is - a true gift. His vocals, the nuances in instrumentation, melodies, lyrics, production; it’s one of his greatest works of art.
I remember hearing this in a "Record (remember them?) Shop," and before the days of Shazam, asking who it was and buying the whole album for just this song (remember when you had to do that?) and have loved it ever since. The 12 String outro is exquisite.
Only here after the affair and still can't get over that show 4 years later.. Incredible.. Introduced me to this and many great songs but race me to the light is the best
When this giantess found a little guy and took him in her hand then fell in love with him she became not only a girlfriend for him but a protector and she is not afraid of anyone.
Definitely. She will protect her tiny boyfriend from every danger by any means necessary. She will also take care of him with huge amounts of love. I greatly envy him and hope that Giantesses could be realized soon so that I can be treated like him. 😂
A fun video from the genius songwriter that is Neil Finn. He really is up there with the greatest songwriters of all time and it is an absolute travesty that his three solo albums(Try whistling this,One Nil and Dizzy Heights) have barely made an impression on the charts,while piles of mediocrity take up residency in the "hot 100" for months on end.
I don't know if this music video (alone) won best international single or music video of the year it was released. If it did not win anything for this single that year...MY GOD!!! IT REALLY SHOULD HAVE WON AN AWARD.
Have just finished the finale of The Affair on Paramount Plus 😭 and what did I hear towards the end but this familiar sounding song?! A lovely surprise to hear a track from one of the Antipodes' master songwriters. Cheers from across the ditch in Melbourne 😊
@@indierockyhockey Wow, why did you miss the final episode of a (fantastic) series??? 😁 You should watch it once 'cause it was one of the best series finals I've ever watched! 😎
@@indierockyhockey Haha, everyone says that _Six feet under_ had the very best final episode... Well, I don't know, I've never watched it. 😇 But I found _The Affair_ 's final very touching and simply perfect. 😄 You must watch it once if you have a chance, it is worth watching! 😎 Its background music and songs are fantastic as well (not only the soundtrack of the final episode but the soundtrack of the whole series)! 👍
I listened to this back in 7th grade Junior high Mr and this guy were fighting over the hottest cheer leader you've ever laid your eyes on I still love this song in 2024 it's the 1st song off the Felicity Sound track back in 1999
Always loved the song but never saw the video before, it’s great! I’m not sure how he will manage the ending but looks like he’s gonna give it a red hot go! Haha
What do you think, Doctor Cushing? She’s not well, Harry. Aah! I might be old, but I'm someone new, she said, I'm so sore That I could cry, always, in the night, lay your tired arms.
And, she will have her way. And, somehow, I will still believe her. She's the life I've been frightened of. Seems like deathly silence, And, especially, the dark. Feels like I am heavy, and my spirit has died.
She will have her way. Somehow, I will still believe her. She will have her way. One day, I will come back. Ah-ah-ah.
Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Oh-oh-oh, ah. Still no end in sight. Though I traveled far and wide. A dyin’ man’s doing time. Thinker. Soldier. Terrified.
And, she will have her way. Somehow, I will still believe her. She will have her way. And, one day, I will come back.
Hey! She will have her way. When time has gone today. Yeah! She will have her way. She will have her way. But, not before the time. She will have her way. She will have her way. She will have her way.
If you think “Try Whistling This” is great (and it is) wait until you hear “One All.” Not “One Nil” but “One All.” “One Nil” is more adventurous than “One All” but “One All” is more listenable. But get both and decide for yourself!
I really want to know who played the giantess in this music video. She was so great and gorgeous here. A big, strong yet attractive giant woman dominating a male - this really intrigued my giantess fetish. I hope someone who knows her name share the precious information with others. :)

Melody is king
This is the best Beatles song ever
Beatles song ?
New Zealand song nothing related to the beetles mate
Well, there’s certainly a Beatles influence in this song. Neil Finn’s a huge fan.
@@kellyvanroy7897 He was joking!!!!!!!

Haha same as me, same time too. I thought that episode was awesome and this song fitted it so well didn’t it?
me too!! was perfect in the tvshow
So did i lol, absolutely cute scene and this song fits so well
Great album! My now ex bought this for me. I'd lost touch with music and he said, I know you love Crowded House, I imagine you'll love this 💚💚 💚
Here from Sports Night where they also used it very well in the Season 2 opener.
Finally figured out the song used on “sports night”, a HIGHLY regarded yet under-watched show. Song makes me so emotional.
Felicity, too! Before they changed the music. And Party of Five.
Discovered this song recently absolute tune
I love this song even more now that I've stumbled onto this clip.
I adore "Try Whistling This" an absolute work of art. I enjoyed this video too.

Agree. This is a GREAT album.
Ditto! Amazes me every time I listen, I go too far between listening! 💚💚

The 12 String outro is exquisite.
I missed those days... So many record shops/stalls way back whence😭😂🙌
Love this, darling Neil Finn !! ❤
Never get tired of this one. Wonderfull song. Fab vid. And my god what a beautiful woman.
Only here after the affair and still can't get over that show 4 years later.. Incredible.. Introduced me to this and many great songs but race me to the light is the best

Top dollar 😊
Charts don't really matter these days. They've made an impression on those who matter.
NIGHTFRIGHT2011 how is this comment 6 years old yet the video is only 2 years old
Don’t worry - it had a huge impact on me in 1998 - nothing else on the charts rings a bell now.
I remember buying this album, & still to this day, I listen to the shit outta it,!
It’s a work of art!
Fantastic song. Surreal video.
Absolute genius tune.

The final episode of _The Affair_ brought me here. 😉 Fantastic song - and a very funny clip! 😂
Noah & Helen ❤
Whoa! Missed that episode!!!
@@indierockyhockey Wow, why did you miss the final episode of a (fantastic) series??? 😁 You should watch it once 'cause it was one of the best series finals I've ever watched! 😎
@@_Lane_ yes, I missed it! 😭 My subscription ran out! 🤦♀️ That said, Six feet under best finale!!!!

Just discovered The Affair recently and binged it all! The finalè was so touching; I bawled and bawled 😊
One of the best songs I've ever heard.
Still Genius today, what a solo album 🙌
Incredible. Poignant
Man I listened to this album over and over when it came out.
Neil Finn is a musical prodigy. Still listening to his albums . Joyful soulful music 😊
a gorgeous little gem.
3:49 is actually so cute
Love it,love the man. First saw him perform as a nervous teenager with Split Enz
I love “Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman!”
One hell of a song
It’s beautiful 👍
I have never seen this!! Brilliant song, very clever video!
I listened to this back in 7th grade Junior high Mr and this guy were fighting over the hottest cheer leader you've ever laid your eyes on I still love this song in 2024 it's the 1st song off the Felicity Sound track back in 1999
Holy heck, saw you on this tour in a small bar in Denver. One of the best musical experiences of my life. Thank you.
Otro tema hermoso que jamas dejara de gustarme

The ultimate giantess theme song.

Always loved the song but never saw the video before, it’s great! I’m not sure how he will manage the ending but looks like he’s gonna give it a red hot go! Haha
I wonder who the actress is who plays the giant women
Found this song from the show Felicity!
💘
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this song ❤ I’m the land of Women movie ❤
The Affair Series finale !
Me gusta mucho, mucho.
I know who the woman is!!
It's Sandy Allen!! The girl Neil sang about with Split Enz back in '82!! 😅😅
I'm afraid to tell you that the actress for the 50ft. Woman isn't Sandy Allen; she's Caitlin Keats.
I met Sandy Allen (well i said hi to her) at an Indiana Pacers basketball game in Indianapolis.
2024??
*This video uses clips from 'Attack of the 50 Foot Woman' and 'The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock'.*
2020....in quarantine.
2022 .... in yo mama's bedroom
2022 💚👍
What do you think, Doctor Cushing? She’s not well, Harry. Aah!
I might be old, but I'm someone new, she said, I'm so sore
That I could cry, always, in the night, lay your tired arms.
And, she will have her way. And, somehow, I will still believe her.
She's the life I've been frightened of. Seems like deathly silence,
And, especially, the dark. Feels like I am heavy, and my spirit has died.
She will have her way. Somehow, I will still believe her.
She will have her way. One day, I will come back. Ah-ah-ah.
Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Oh-oh-oh, ah.
Still no end in sight. Though I traveled far and wide.
A dyin’ man’s doing time. Thinker. Soldier. Terrified.
And, she will have her way. Somehow, I will still believe her.
She will have her way. And, one day, I will come back.
Do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do.
Ah-ah-ah-ah. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do.
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah. Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.
Hey! She will have her way. When time has gone today. Yeah!
She will have her way. She will have her way. But, not before the time.
She will have her way. She will have her way. She will have her way.
Im watching The Affair again because Im sick of politics.. I forgot about this song. Just added it to my playlists
It never gets old ❤🎶
She'll be right at some stage
They’re always right (even when they’re not)
Anyone know if there is a rerelease coming? This song and album are no longer on Amazon Music or iTunes.
Only I like about this video they put together the attack of the 50 foot woman and the 30 foot bride of candy rock I like at
1:58
Also a tribute to the 30 foot Bride of Candy Rock
If you think “Try Whistling This” is great (and it is) wait until you hear “One All.” Not “One Nil” but “One All.” “One Nil” is more adventurous than “One All” but “One All” is more listenable. But get both and decide for yourself!
"Try Whistling This" is a beautiful masterpiece
Anyone know who the actress was?
Caitlin Keats (Janeen from the wedding scene in Kill Bill: Vol. 2)
The girl he look a like of Rachel hunter ...the girl....
50ft woman is my hero, and she must rule the world.
I may be old, --but I'm someone new
Nothing wrong with tall chicks, I have a huge crush on Alison Janney and Gwen Christie
I really want to know who played the giantess in this music video. She was so great and gorgeous here. A big, strong yet attractive giant woman dominating a male - this really intrigued my giantess fetish. I hope someone who knows her name share the precious information with others. :)
Now I finally know her name. She's Caitlin Keats.
Felicity...anyone?? Jajaja 😌
Hahahahahaha, classic
this better not awaken something in me
Muy Paul McCartney
Tallish brown hair, must be new Zealand et ish
