Amazing. Earlier today, I was at a really dark place. Now I'm crying tears of joy that I'm still alive and can listen to this beautiful piece of music. Thank you!
Torally agree .Writes sensible yet very emotional hits that remain classics and should rwmain classics forever and beats the shit out of endleass crap talent shows do8ng depressing karaokes and fuck all else!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
It can happen mate, had a 12 hour shift, listened to on repeat, got fed up. Everything can happen, so maybe, just maybe, we can get all world wankers other office, normies could develop a filter, pigs fly. Anyway fed up a this now, so there's hope for everything, no.
27 yrs and counting. No stupid outfits. No twerking. No 50 dancers on stage. No auto-tune. No lip syncing. Just an artist, his guitar and a timeless gem. I wonder... in 27 yrs, will people still be looking for the stuff that's out there right now?
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe just how superb that performance was. Raw unadulterated talent at its peak. One man, sorry genius, and his guitar. If ever a melody raises the hair on the back of my neck it’s this. Utter bliss. Thank you Neil. x
J. effing C. its just perfection. youre right, i cant express. i cant get over how awesome his talent is. this deserves the 1 billion + views that plenty of other subpar songs get
Still listening in 2020...'Don't Dream Its Over' is timeless poetry. 'There is freedom within, there is freedom without, try to catch the deluge in a papercup...' is simpel a sentence of pure genius. It shows the strong songwriters skills of Neil Finn.
There's a mysterious perfection to this song. As a whole, I can't really pin down what it's "about." It IS dream-like. It's a magic carpet. It wants to carry you away in the best sense.
Magical version of a perfect song. Whenever life gets me down this melodic masterpiece will pick me up, for this song gets me dreaming and there is most certainly hope wherever there are dreams. Thanks for the music neil for without it the world would be a darker place. Don't ever let them win.
"one of those days when i wondered what i did right"..... you lived neil, thats wat u did right mate. its an absolute pleasure to be another human bieng who lives at the same time as you and hears what u create.
Who can say where a song falls as #1 or #100 of all time. Critics are men and women like all of us and where they place a song is always an opinion of the listener. The point is, it's great music. Yes, I said we are all men or women, there is no in between. If we have a scrotum we are men, if a Vagina a woman. Why many make things so complicated? It's one or the other period. You can tell me or anyone else your opinion but THAT is all it is, it doesn't change the facts and I for one will call it as it appears. I don't care about opinions, only the facts. Enough said.
@@robertjohnson3855 With your point on the man and woman issue, I 100% agree with you. But why was that necessary to bring up in the comments of a music video?? Seems a bit irrelevant!
This man is immortal. This song will never be forgotten. Humans have two natures; the one is to take; the other is to give. They come to build a wall between us but they won't win because the good in us keeps us inseparable from one another. Don't dream it's over. We are stronger together.
I rarely do this but I sincerely appreciate what you wrote about yourself and your love for my music that shows that you are really a nice person to be with in person.. where are you streaming from,?
this is soo beautiful, lyrics and melody are divine...got the Best of Crowded House as a gift in my 2nd year of university...1993?? And loved it on contact and it has stayed with me thro life and grown and lived with me..couldn't be without it now...it covers every possible human emotion in such a bared to the bone but emotionally intact manner...adore it and pas it on wherever I can.....
I had the very good fortune of attending a Crowded House concert sometime in the late 80's. My friend Mike was working as a DJ for a radio station in Santa Barbara while finishing his studies at UCSB and comped some tickets from the station manager. Now, I knew a little about the band, but I had no idea how incredibly talented these guys were prior to seeing them perform life. I was, to use an overly employed term but in this case perfectly apt description, blown away. And more than the music itself, Finn was funny, charming, and very humble in his interaction with the audience. As for this song, there are very few hits you can come back to again and again that hold their initial impact; "Don't Dream It's Over" has stayed with me for 30 years, and its mystery continues to resound through the changes in cities, friends, and lovers that have come and gone.
So right! I attended their final concert in front of the Sydney Opera House and the emotion during the playing of Don't Dream It's Over was incredible. For Aussies and Kiwis it's like an anthem. So beautiful.
One of Those Songs ... you know those songs ... the ones that you remember hearing for the first time ... and you just know it is something special ...
I rarely do this but I sincerely appreciate what you wrote about yourself and your love for my music that shows that you are really a nice person to be with in person.. where are you streaming from,?
I'm starting to think that people who thumb down a song like this are doing it because in fact it is so powerful and real that it reminds them of their own life and suffering... so it doesn't shelter them as it does so many of us...
Fabulous version. Takes me back to summer barbecues in New Zealand - someone always pulls out the guitar and eventually plays this. South Pacific influence really shines through here.
This song is amazing. It makes me feel like i can forget everything in the world and just feel so incredidbly happy. To combine emotions like that into a song is talent.

This has to be maybe my absolute favourite song. I can’t put a name to the feeling I get whenever I listen to it… it’s somewhere between devastation and elation

It's relevant relate-able and sets the right tone when your down..even today. Which is why these songs will last the test of time. Unlike many of the songs at present that are mostly shallow and forgettable

I mean, is like he's raucous now, for an example, but he adapted his voice for this situation and singed very very good as he's ok. And he seems very relaxed, because he's confident that he knows how to adapt his voice to the situation, knowing that it won't detune
No pro tools, no voice pitch box, just a man with a unique voice and a gift to capture a feeling of liberation and release.
Thank you for summing up what were thinking of Neil 👍👍👍
This very likely was mixed in pro tools. It’s just the industry standard for mixing.
Hey now!! 🥺🤭
Neil Finn is such a terrific singer. He doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for how sensational his voice is.
Genius musician. 💯
Yeah he does
One of the very best songs ever written. Period.
damn right
One of the very best songs ever written. Full stop.
So true.
Absolutely incredible tune.
🙌👍✌️
This song is so well-written, it's a masterclass of songwriting. Genius.
I thoroughly concur ..
One singer, one guitar...when you do it right, nothing else is needed.
True
And some electronics to add a drop of reverb to the vocal.
Some microphones, speakers, a mixing desk and a power source also helps.
Im Australian, my husband was New Zealander, i miss him every day,
In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the tv page
A simple line that speaks volumes.
Only certain song become timeless master pieces. This is ine of them. This song will never die.
He took an amazing song and made it even a little better. Not an easy thing to do.
Amazing. Earlier today, I was at a really dark place. Now I'm crying tears of joy that I'm still alive and can listen to this beautiful piece of music. Thank you!
Hang in there! ❤
Music soothes the soul : )
This song was one of the best ever written. A simple MASTERPIECE.
Purely and simply, Neil Finn is one of the best artists to ever privilege us with his music and voice. Profitez, mes amis
Torally agree .Writes sensible yet very emotional hits that remain classics and should rwmain classics forever and beats the shit out of endleass crap talent shows do8ng depressing karaokes and fuck all else!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Beautiful song. I for one will never tire of listening to it.

@@Phoeagdor My comment was written 11 years ago. Still listen/watch that series of videos of this gig on a regular basis......... but not on repeat!
Just an absolute genius! Amazing track stripped back to pure brilliance.
27 yrs and counting. No stupid outfits. No twerking. No 50 dancers on stage.
No auto-tune. No lip syncing. Just an artist, his guitar and a timeless gem. I wonder... in 27 yrs, will people still be looking for the stuff that's out there right now?
beautifully stated Tony -- this is the perfect fusion of talent, poetry and gorgeous music
Magic Tony, Neils voice is pure brilliance.
A pearl in a modern world of musical swine. Thanks Mr. Diaz. Well stated.
Neil's songwriting and guitar playing are also brilliant.
tony diaz So true. Great assessment. Never tire of this awesome talent
Song of my youth, beautiful and bittersweet at the same time. Brings back memories of longing and regret. But still beautiful.
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe just how superb that performance was. Raw unadulterated talent at its peak. One man, sorry genius, and his guitar. If ever a melody raises the hair on the back of my neck it’s this. Utter bliss. Thank you Neil. x

One song I won’t even attempt to cover sitting with my guitar. It’s perfect. I enjoy it with closed eyes and a grateful heart.
What a Frickin' talent. You just don't hear songs like that anymore
One of the best voices in rock that I have heard.
Amazing voice. Super. You handsome singer Niel.
Neil finn could sing a nursery rhyme and it would still be magnificent
I'm a Little Teapot
He could write an awesome one as well
Don’t build a wall between us (for Humpty to fall off)
Love this song; acoustic version is even better. Damn, such a great song.
Still listening in 2020...'Don't Dream Its Over' is timeless poetry. 'There is freedom within, there is freedom without, try to catch the deluge in a papercup...' is simpel a sentence of pure genius. It shows the strong songwriters skills of Neil Finn.
What does it mean though?
one of the most underated songwriters of the last 30 years Neil Finn
What a trio!! Crowded House, Aztec Camera and 10cc. singers. WOW!!
From a programme called songwriters circle. All the shows were memorable, just a pity only a few were ever made.
There's a mysterious perfection to this song.
As a whole, I can't really pin down what it's "about."
It IS dream-like. It's a magic carpet. It wants to carry you away in the best sense.

This is the category of top 50 best songs ever written of all time. Not sure where it falls but one of the best ever.

Masterpiece that will live on for centuries.

Was that the one at the Arlington, with Roger McGuinn opening? AMAZING show.

I'm agree Finn also fresh
Every beautiful thing you expressed…
One of Those Songs ... you know those songs ... the ones that you remember hearing for the first time ... and you just know it is something special ...
When you strip it down to a one person performance, and it is every bit as good as TV, you got best.
there is something in Neil Finns voice and performance that is so amazingly deep,takes to a place in my own mind that feels very calm and settled
greatest song to come out of New Zealand
one of the best songs ever written
One of the greatest songwriters we have seen.
I love the emotion in his voice.
