    Neil Finn is simply one of the greatest songwriters of all time. Even Paul McCartney is a fan.

    • @AndrewCarlisle
      @AndrewCarlisle 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Actually, Paul said he likes Neil's songs but never said he was the greatest songwriter ever
      "McCartney also confirmed in the over-30 minute chat that the long-running rumour he once referred to Crowded House frontman, Neil Finn, as the world's greatest songwriter is false.
      After being teased by Minchin that he doesn't even like Finn's music, McCartney joked back, "I didn't say that. I don't, but I didn't say that… I love his songs actually.""

    Crowded House were NZ's Neil Finn and Aussies Nick Seymour and Paul Hester. They performed a farewell concert in 1996 on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. That concert is so widely loved in Australia that they reunited 20 years later in 2016 for another concert at the same spot. Sadly though Paul Hester (drummer) died in 2005.
    Both these concerts are very much worth watching. If you search Crowded House Sydney Opera House you'll find all the songs.

    This one was my request! One of my favourite bands, Neil Finn is a Kiwi but they founded the band in Melbourne. Still making music today, although they did break up in 1996 with a free concert for some 100,000 Sydneysiders on the steps of the Opera house, and reformed in 2006.
    They released an album this year, and won the ARIA award (more or less Aussie Grammies) for Best Album. Neil Finn recently did a stint replacing Lindsay Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac as has already been mentioned in a few other comments. Glad you enjoyed it!

    I was lucky enough to see their special anniversary concert a few years ago. It was outdoors in front of the opera House. We sat on the steps. Magical night. Can't explain but the energy and vibe was incredible. They televised/streamed one of the shows too. So there's some good footage out there. The crowd was incredible.
    "Fall at your feet" is another beautiful song, and the version from that anniversary concert in 2016 was stunning. Especially the encore at the end of the song with just the crowd singing 😍.

    Crowded House are Aussie music royalty and icons.
    Neil Finn's songwriting of this track alone, proves how amazingly talented he is. Four decades on and the lyrics and song are timeless and collecting new, younger audiences.
    Amazing.

    I think most of Australia cried when they sung that song live at Sydney Opera house on Nov 24th 1996 for their " farewell" tour. It's such a beautiful song. 100K people turned up at the concert. Search it up live!

    This song was HUGE in New Zealand and Australia when it was released. Neil Finn is a NZ'er, he moved to Melbourne and formed Crowded House after the original Finn brothers band - Split Enz - split up. There's a lot of debate whether it's a Kiwi or Aussie band, even the cbd tram tour in Melbourne mentions Crowded House.

  • @AgunziLFC

    Dave Mustaine, the leads singer/guitarist from Megadeath said Crowed House are one of the bands he's influenced by, and that he listens to this song a lot, especially when hes down, it lifts him right up. He has become good friends with Neil.
    If you get accolades from a legendary metal musician, then you must have something special. Especially when you aren't a metal band.

    If you want to hear some brilliant covers of Crowded House and Split Enz songs, seek out the albums called "She Will Have Her Way", "He Will Have His Way" or for a compilation of both ... "They Will Have Their Way". Covers are performed by Australian and New Zealand artists. Claire Bowditch singing "Fall At Your Feet" is luscious. Sara Blasko singing "Don't Dream It's Over is beautifully done.

    "Don't Dream It's Over" is a song by rock band Crowded House, recorded for their 1986 self-titled debut studio album. The song was composed and written by New Zealand frontman Neil Finn and released in October 1986 as the fourth single from the album.

    Crowded House were huge. Yes, Neil wrote this....he was in Split Enz with his older brother Tim before Crowded House (Tim joined them for one album) and their songwriting was up there with Lennon/McCartney at times. Neil is a superb songwriter....he was also in Fleetwood Mac for a few years pre-Covid.

    EJ supported Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder on a solo tour.

    Crowded House are massive here.
    I've been wondering what you would think of them but I've been having trouble deciding what song to suggest!
    They did a Farewell to the World tour back in 1996 at the Sydney Opera house when they decided to stop recording/touring. The concert was even shown on TV, it was that big. My sister recorded it on VHS. I think you can watch it on TH-cam.
    In 2016 they did a 20th anniversary performance at the Opera house, which I think included Neill's sons, who are in the current line up of the band. I had just moved to Sydney a day was lucky enough to go! Just to see Neill Finn, and Tim Finn, it's amazing.
    There was a new album recently.
