I was born in 2000 yet this song has such impact and nostalgia for me. As soon as it starts I am hit with it. My legend of a Dad played this regularly. He passed away last year, so returning to this brings back the best moments spent with him. Love ya Dad!
Born in 2000 too n I’ve got the exact same memories bro, I just lost my dad couple days ago hence why I’ve come back here, sounds like they both had good taste👊🏼
Ahh means a lot to hear this mate! These are the things we hold on to forever. Hope you can stay as positive as you can and keep listening to the great music they blessed us with @@Coupleofstoners23
Hits hard for me too mate nostalgia hurts , makes you remember past Times that made you into the person you are don’t be scared of feeling pain it’s just natures way of reminding you of where you came from an not to forget your roots big love pal
This song dedicated to my Dad. This was his favorite song since in the 90s. My Dad died on December 5th 2017. He was in a surgery on December 3rd 2017. Because he had a tumor in his stomach. They had to pull it out. Last time i saw him was before December 5th 2017. I always thinking about my Dad when this song always come on any Radio. Dear Dad! Let God take the weather with you. I love you so much. We will see us soon.
I am a 52 yr old bloke in the UK and I heard this loads on the radio in 1992, I think when it came out..I was 21 and had my whole life ahead of me. And while I worked on a mushroom farm in Suffolk Uk with an amazing woman, Rita. What I would give to go back and tell her. This song remind me of why you shouldn’t waste chances. Thanks Crowded House. Night all.
I think everybody has a "Rita' in their Life... for me it was another boy I grew up with- we both married women, I finally figured myself out and came out..he's still married but that friendship was pretty fuking magical..
I've just passed 40. I'm in a looong term relationship with 2 kids and happy as hell in my family. I look outside though and see the world falling to shit. I find my solace in nostalgia. My quiet space is to come and listen to songs that bring me back to my childhood. This song makes me feel so safe inside
Keep the faith, stick with it, it'll be worth it. Many of us have been were you are now and come out the other side a better peep. And I still rate these songs as the best that will ever be.. And you'll have someone to tell it too.
Right there with you bud! Try being over 60 and realizing steadily for the last 30 years that you will leave your kids a far worst Earth than you were born to. When my wife and I got married 36 years ago, we both survived well enough to provide all our needs at $3.35 and hour. And not that seems unable to do with 2 at $15.00 and hour. I do not believe there is any hope in survival during retirement, but at least there are a bunch of songs out there from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's that will still bring a smile to my face. Cheers to you!
@@christophersmith8977 one day I hope to be over 60 and telling my kids how lucky they are that TPTB crumbled and their future will be utopian. I live and love in hope. Peace brother xx
An Aussie here, naturalised citizen, born overseas. Kiwis, Aussies - this song personifies our carefree spirit that's still just the same now as it was before. Don't ever lose it. I love you all.
Back in 1991, I hated this song! The about 15 years later I had the Recurring Dream compilation which started with this one, and dammit! I loved the song!
The impact of Woodface was incredible. Think of the musical environment. Grunge was dominating, Nirvana had put out Nevermind, and acid house and trance were also exploding, and so was gangster rap. Everything was loud and new and in your face. Then along comes Woodface, the most iconic, classic, timeless set of acoustic melodic pop music of the 90's. A breath of fresh air for those of us who love guitar pop. Crowded House saved acoustic music in that era.
Woodface is without doubt, pure class. I was into the rave scene in the UK at the time and this was my favourite album to listen to despite what was going on musically around me at the time, my pals thought I was a prick for liking them, it wasn’t considered cool to be into Crowded House at that time. Do you remember the first time you heard 👉 l’m still here? 😂😂👍👍
Went to my aunt's funeral and cremation today and we played this in her memory as Crowded House were her favorite band. RIP hun, always take the weather with you xx
That is very true, I too appreciate very much music before year 2000, but well there are also some other great artists/bands too which are as great as this😎🙏
My Year 5 teacher used to play this song all the time in class when we had to do some silent work. He was VERY excentric, but a brilliant teacher, and helped me through my parents' divorce. Thank you, Mr Magnus!
Tyyrannosaurus, your teacher should have played instrumental music.In the motivation courses that I attended, I was taught that only instrumental music is suitable for work and study(my boss said the same thing-for music to be played in my office).
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of my dad singing away. He passed away from cancer in 2019 and there are many songs I just can't listen too but this one puts a massive smile on my face, bringing me back to childhood. Love you Dad 💔
@@Peacefrogg my friend, who loves this, tells me the chorus comes from a well-known Australian saying about the man or the weather. One is more reliable or something. The weather I think. This helped me as previously it left me completely cold (no pun intended).
The goodbye concert at Sydney Opera House. The last song when he knew it was all over and he cried and cried and cried. And then, a few months later, he takes his life. Devastating !+
The song is bittersweet yet upon reflection it has a strong feeling of love. Indeed it is 30 years old and remains a timeless masterpiece from Crowded House.
Whenever I feel let down or a bit depressed, listening to this song always manage to lift me up and make feel really optimistic. CH are underrated genuises
Won't deny, this is one of those songs that every time you listen to it, it brings a tear to the eye. A time when music made you think about its meaning and it was easy to listen to. That's not to say that a lot of modern music doesn't do that - just that songs like this are immortal. Tomorrow, the next day or in a hundred million days' time, these songs will live on. If Busted are anything to go by, when we're living underwater in the year 3000, we'll still be listening to things like this; even though, ironically, underwater the only weather is wet
I first heard this song in 1992 at the, "The Church," in London where Kiwi's and Aussie's got together on a Sunday. It was love at first hearing, and I've always loved this song reminding me of my great time in England during my OE.
I dedicate this song to my parrot, Dave, who used to swear at visitors just to entertain himself. Wherever you are now, Dave, this one's for you, mate.

This is one of my favorite songs ever. I've loved it since I was a kid 😊. To me, that guitar intro is like watching the sunrise on a Sunday morning, while there's a smell of baked toast and coffee in the air 🌄🍞☕.
It's only me that have a feeling about how good, refined and huge quality can always be found in the songs from 80's bands by the way so simple but honest they used to write songs that definetly will be played for many generations ahead? Certainly those ones who lived that era know how lucky they are (Thank God for give me this opportunity). Long life Crowded House - Thanks for everything that you have been made and shared with the fans all over the world. Hopeful for a concert of this great band in the city where I was born and live. Best regards from Belo Horizonte City - State of Minas Gerais - Brazil !
This song is so catchy and is faultless beauty to the ears! Growing up as a teenager 30 years ago I’m so lucky to have heard this for the first time and it still sounds as amazing today as it did back then 🎶🎶🎶
This is the best song ever! When l landed in London as a young adult, this is the song that you hear when you take a cab or visit the shops. I sing it every now and then. My children wonder where l learnt it from as a British African. I love this song. It's a shame that these guys have not being prompted after the 90s. Bless them. (I am a church girl and this is the only non gospel song l sing...Lol)
I first became aware of Crowded House on my first trip to New Zealand from the UK over Christmas and New Year 1991 to 1992. This song was still playing regularly on the radio in NZ at the time and seemed to be the theme for that first trip to NZ. I loved the place so much I've been back 12 times since then. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of that first magic trip to NZ
+ how old were you in 1991, I'm also from the UK and knew of them when I was 6 when they had their hit single in the UK-Don't Dream It's Over in 1987! I didn't go to New Zealand till I was 8!
Arizonan here, from Tucson! I would go back in a heartbeat! I was in college in the early to mid 1980s, and the music was just phenomenal! MTV had just hit the airwaves and groups like A Flock of Seagulls, The Stray Cats, Duran Duran, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears, Wham!, Culture Club and of course Split Enz, as well as many other bands, were just starting to make themselves heard! What a magical time! If you missed the 1980s, then you missed the party! There will never be another era like that! Any semblance of innocence is gone!
any need ? PIMPING ,,, are you a wanna be ? you look like a nice white Caucasian boy to me ! ,PIMPING ,,lol ,,listening to to many rappers ,, you fukin idiot ,,grow some balls
Remember this song hearing it somewhere in Greece in April 1992, managed to escape bad war news, narcisstic lunatics in power and their spineless ass lickers,, army draft papers, fucking nationalism, hate, paranoia, fake news, I always have nostalgic feeling for this song...
30th anniversary of album release: 1st July 1991, Woodface, the third studio album by Australian band Crowded House. The album was a major hit in Australia and New Zealand as well as giving the band their first top ten hit album in the UK. The best song in the album, and one of the most memorable songs of my university days, is surely this, released as a single February 1992.
I would have been twenty one when the album was released. The song I came across at the end of the BBC programme 40 years of the Weather Forecast, which was made two years later.
Затем сохраните этот прекрасный опыт в своей памяти. Вероятно, в течение вашей жизни вы не сможете снова пригласить известную западную группу выступить в Москве или где-либо еще в вашей стране. По крайней мере, я не могу себе этого представить.
My Dad used to sing this to get me to sleep when I was like 3-4. I've never, ever heard him sing anything else, I don't think anybody else has either. We've never had the closest relationship but it's a good memory.
I sat in my prison cell in 1991-92-1993 ON REMAND IN H.M.P BELFAST, "The Crum" ... listening to this song. Now that I'm free, it brings back so many memories to me. I was alone in the Cell for weeks and I was "getting it tight" depressed at times but I always cheered up when this song came on my wee MW RADIO 📻. THANK YOU, CROWDED HOUSE 💙💙😁😁🙏🙏🇬🇧☘️
This is honestly my favourite song ever. I loved it in 1992 and still to this day nothing has surpassed this song. My fave that will will take me to the grave!!!!
Reds 101 That new found artist of Kanye’s(lol) Paul Macartney called him one of the best songwriters of our time, agree completely on the voice too though. He can uplift me with this song as well as be solemn like in four seasons in one day.
This song came out when I was 8 years old and I loved it. My dad did too and it encouraged him to buy the Woodface album. Still glad he did to this day. A lot of people can't name another Crowded House song. They did plenty of good songs and are criminally overlooked. I will always appreciate good music and how this song got me into Crowded House.
My teacher from New Zealand showed this song that was 2 years ago he was the best . Now I'm in secondary/middle school . I just feel so sad. How much time can change everything 🥺😞
As an amateur (but veteran) weather forecaster under the "stage name" of The Cloud Master, I have requested this track to be played at my funeral. However, aged 50, I hope to be leaving much later rather than soon. :-)
I heard it today doing shopping at Tesco humming it while choosing red wine then from both sides of the alley people were singing it out loud. Such a good tune❤
It made us all...Newzealanders and Oz's alike....stand up and take stock...we thought our favourite drummer was happy......but then he took his own life....this family clip, makes me smile, laugh and cry.....Paul thankyou for you and your music!
Wonderful song. I used to sing it with my fifth- and sixth-form English classes here in Germany, bringing my 12-string GUILD guitar as accompaniment and some percussion instruments for the kids to use. They will never forget, just as I won‘t.
When I was 20, I spent one year in sydney as an au pair from germany. I had the best time of my life and crowded house was one of the bands I used to listen to. Such beautiful memories over 30 years ago
I went to college in Mt Pleasant Michigan in the early 80s so every time I hear this song, it takes back to good times and college memories. This is a great track! Thanks for the memories CH!
My favourite band as a teenager :-). Thank you for an amazing Finn concert back in the day. I had tickets also for a CH concert, but sadly never made it as I was in hospital for my chronic pain condition. I was devastated. Love 🧡 and light ✨ from the UK 🇬🇧 to an incredible acoustic band 🎸
When I listen to this its 1992,a rare perfect year for myself I'm still hoping another one will come along as I would love to reach the same heights of happiness again!..."lightning might strike" as was once said in an incredible movie....I can dream......
It´s absolutely devastating - and says a lot about the current state of the world - to find this GORGEOUS tune has only ca. 9 mil. views...?!?!?! Kudos to Crowded House for addressing climate and environmental issues through pop culture back in the days those weren´t as "fashionable" as they are now.
This is not a song about climate change or the environment. We've been listening to the same propaganda for decades anyway, it's been fashionable for just as long.
@@Woo_Woo_Woman If you mean they never explicitly referred to it - you´re absolutely correct. However, allusions to human detrimental impacts on the environment are there.... for those who want to listen.
When I was kid I went on a school trip about 20 years ago with my school friends to the Lake District on a mini bus and this song came on the radio and everyone started singing including teachers without care in the world, we had a amazing time in Lake District and this was the anthem of the trip and a lot the lads on the trip stay great friends to this day , this is why this song will always remind me of childhood

I first became aware of Crowded House on my first trip to New Zealand from the UK over Christmas and New Year 1991 to 1992.
This song was still playing regularly on the radio in NZ at the time and seemed to be the theme for that first trip to NZ. I loved the place so much I've been back 12 times since then.
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of that first magic trip to NZ
We still play it today in NZL. Our second National anthem
@@Brucemcleod2345 the band members are from New Zealand to
+ how old were you in 1991, I'm also from the UK and knew of them when I was 6 when they had their hit single in the UK-Don't Dream It's Over in 1987!
I didn't go to New Zealand till I was 8!

I was 34 when I first went to NZ, I've been back 14 times since then. Most recently in January and February 2024.
@@mikeandtriciajohnson7241 You must of been aware of Crowded House in UK before that???????????
Neil Finn is a great NZ icon! We're so lucky as kiwis to have him!
he's australian, mate
@@richardtriance5207 He is from New Zealand.
@richardtriance5207 the rest of the band are aussie but Neil is from nz
I felt absolutely nostalgic n emotional... miss those days 😢 good music, these kinda songs aren't made these days
This tune always cheers me up. Sadly this kind of songs are not released today.
Neil Finn, talented as a young man in 1980s, and still singing at his best. RIP Paul Hester.
Whenever I‘m overthinking things or struggling I‘m listening to this song. Music is the best therapist 👍
This music is resonant and melodic - that's why groups like this get asked to perform at Glastonbury
I finished building my time machine.Who would like to go back to the 80's and 90's with me?😎
Me mate. My dad would be there and loving all this music all over again with me 😍
Book me a seat. Bags are packed.
Save me a seat! Let’s go
Me
Arizonan here, from Tucson! I would go back in a heartbeat! I was in college in the early to mid 1980s, and the music was just phenomenal! MTV had just hit the airwaves and groups like A Flock of Seagulls, The Stray Cats, Duran Duran, Talk Talk, Tears for Fears, Wham!, Culture Club and of course Split Enz, as well as many other bands, were just starting to make themselves heard! What a magical time! If you missed the 1980s, then you missed the party! There will never be another era like that! Any semblance of innocence is gone!
Never, ever tire of this song and that guitar sound.
Ikr I know this song because my English teacher plays it all the time in class and I know EVERY SINGLE word of it now. 😂😂😂
Is your English teacher missing English weather ?
elfinia What do you mean?
Miss Mystic Falls fucking idiot lol
any need ? PIMPING ,,, are you a wanna be ? you look like a nice white Caucasian boy to me ! ,PIMPING ,,lol ,,listening to to many rappers ,, you fukin idiot ,,grow some balls
Remember listening to this in Skopje, Macedonia in the 90s, great times.
Remember this song hearing it somewhere in Greece in April 1992, managed to escape bad war news, narcisstic lunatics in power and their spineless ass lickers,, army draft papers, fucking nationalism, hate, paranoia, fake news, I always have nostalgic feeling for this song...
30th anniversary of album release: 1st July 1991, Woodface, the third studio album by Australian band Crowded House. The album was a major hit in Australia and New Zealand as well as giving the band their first top ten hit album in the UK. The best song in the album, and one of the most memorable songs of my university days, is surely this, released as a single February 1992.
Well that's my daily dose of music history.
I would have been twenty one when the album was released. The song I came across at the end of the BBC programme 40 years of the Weather Forecast, which was made two years later.
I still keep coming back to this song, it never gets old for me this songs tied to many happy times for me
What a song, and what a band!
One of the most underrated bands ever
Only an Nz/Aus band can have the lyrics "I lie like a lounge room lizard"
The guitar's riff some how reminding me of The Byrds or CSNY. Wonderful.
Love Crowded house! 🙌😍🎶
Still a banger, one of my favourite tracks for when I’m going on holiday. Neil Finn is very underrated songwriter
My Grandma lived in the same street as Neil Finn and use to give, 'Lester' the dalmatian dog in this video owned by Neil, treats. Memories
More grandmas like yours
He's so handsome......both boys are....
Everywhere you go...always take Crowded House with youuuu! Best Band Ever! xx
Things ain’t cookin’ in my kitchen, strange affliction wash over me 🎶
Отличная песня!Был на концерте Crowded House в Москве!Прекрасно выступили!
Затем сохраните этот прекрасный опыт в своей памяти. Вероятно, в течение вашей жизни вы не сможете снова пригласить известную западную группу выступить в Москве или где-либо еще в вашей стране. По крайней мере, я не могу себе этого представить.
@@frankgoreth4935 В вашей тоже.
My Dad used to sing this to get me to sleep when I was like 3-4. I've never, ever heard him sing anything else, I don't think anybody else has either. We've never had the closest relationship but it's a good memory.
This song just reminds me of my childhood. Thanks dad for influencing my good music taste ❤
Beautiful song with much personal meaning 💕🌈
What ist this sing about?
I sat in my prison cell in 1991-92-1993 ON REMAND IN H.M.P BELFAST, "The Crum" ... listening to this song. Now that I'm free, it brings back so many memories to me. I was alone in the Cell for weeks and I was "getting it tight" depressed at times but I always cheered up when this song came on my wee MW RADIO 📻.
THANK YOU, CROWDED HOUSE 💙💙😁😁🙏🙏🇬🇧☘️
Hope you are ok and well. What were you in prison for?
Hope you are ok and well. What were you in prison for?
I never want this song to end
Same except I wanna listen to the rest of the Enz/CH/Finn catalog too 😃❤️😘♾️🕉️🔥🖖❤️
100% Agree!
This is honestly my favourite song ever. I loved it in 1992 and still to this day nothing has surpassed this song. My fave that will will take me to the grave!!!!
It's tracks like this that cheer me up and remind me just how good life was.
Was being the word there, I’m struggling to use the present tense lately too haha
Pure 90's sound
Forgot how much I loved this song.
Hello Sabrina, how are you doing?
His voice is one of the most underrated ever i love it 😍😍😍😍
Reds 101 That new found artist of Kanye’s(lol) Paul Macartney called him one of the best songwriters of our time, agree completely on the voice too though. He can uplift me with this song as well as be solemn like in four seasons in one day.
Who has ever underated Neil Finn,?
Amazing voice and range
Absolutely most underrated song by this gem of a band.
This song came out when I was 8 years old and I loved it. My dad did too and it encouraged him to buy the Woodface album. Still glad he did to this day. A lot of people can't name another Crowded House song. They did plenty of good songs and are criminally overlooked. I will always appreciate good music and how this song got me into Crowded House.
reading this changes everything for me. How exciting. The fact that you were 8 makes me appreciate crowded house more.
This song has followed me around for over 25 years....😎 It turns up at the right time.. 👍👌🧡 Summer 2021🌴
My teacher from New Zealand showed this song that was 2 years ago he was the best . Now I'm in secondary/middle school . I just feel so sad. How much time can change everything 🥺😞
still play CH songs on the tube. seeing paul laughing smiling reminds me of his appearances on Hey Hey. gone but not forgotten.
The first and third verses have stuck with me for life, up there with “where have you gone joe dimaggio” i get shivers everytime i hear them.
As an amateur (but veteran) weather forecaster under the "stage name" of The Cloud Master, I have requested this track to be played at my funeral. However, aged 50, I hope to be leaving much later rather than soon. :-)
I heard it today doing shopping at Tesco humming it while choosing red wine then from both sides of the alley people were singing it out loud. Such a good tune❤
Makes me happy when I listen this. The best music was made in the 80s and 90s.
After all these passed summers, since listen to this sonf for the first tim:
It´s still the sound of a warm summer, a relaxed time and just good vibes
true music never dies ..
What a wonderful song !
Melody, guitar, voices : everything's great.
A masterpiece. I was fortunate enough to see them live in South Africa. Twice. Outstanding.
This is the first ever song I remember hearing as an infant, still has a magical quality all these years later.
"Well there's a small boat made of china.
It's going nowhere on the mantle piece"
A song full of poetry.
It made us all...Newzealanders and Oz's alike....stand up and take stock...we thought our favourite drummer was happy......but then he took his own life....this family clip, makes me smile, laugh and cry.....Paul thankyou for you and your music!
Absolutnie cudowne , odkrywam was na nowo .
Dziękuję za muzykę - gra w mojej duszy
Wonderful song. I used to sing it with my fifth- and sixth-form English classes here in Germany, bringing my 12-string GUILD guitar as accompaniment and some percussion instruments for the kids to use. They will never forget, just as I won‘t.
That guitar riff is so Dammm fine😍😍😍😍
Andrew CruseTV It sounds almost like a song by The Creation, it just needs flinging and phasing. This could've been a great psych record.
Simple but very effective guitar riff.
More Australian than Rusty and the Pav mate!
@@strange5253 well thats apart from the fact of two kiwis and two yanks in the band lol
Pure flames
The beat and instrumental is unreal in this song.
Für Alle Zeiten ist das einer meiner Lieblings-Songs, denn diesen Song könnte ich
Mehrmals am Tag hören❤❤❤so Geil finde ich diesen...
This song is timeless... ...and that's an understatement.
When I was 20, I spent one year in sydney as an au pair from germany. I had the best time of my life and crowded house was one of the bands I used to listen to. Such beautiful memories over 30 years ago
Hope you got to visit again✌️
I went to college in Mt Pleasant Michigan in the early 80s so every time I hear this song, it takes back to good times and college memories. This is a great track! Thanks for the memories CH!
This was my late mother's favourite song. When I hear it it brings back great memories.
I'm 45 and still listening to this awesome song!♡
My favourite band as a teenager :-). Thank you for an amazing Finn concert back in the day. I had tickets also for a CH concert, but sadly never made it as I was in hospital for my chronic pain condition. I was devastated. Love 🧡 and light ✨ from the UK 🇬🇧 to an incredible acoustic band 🎸
When I listen to this its 1992,a rare perfect year for myself I'm still hoping another one will come along as I would love to reach the same heights of happiness again!..."lightning might strike" as was once said in an incredible movie....I can dream......
It´s absolutely devastating - and says a lot about the current state of the world - to find this GORGEOUS tune has only ca. 9 mil. views...?!?!?! Kudos to Crowded House for addressing climate and environmental issues through pop culture back in the days those weren´t as "fashionable" as they are now.
This is not a song about climate change or the environment. We've been listening to the same propaganda for decades anyway, it's been fashionable for just as long.
@@Woo_Woo_Woman If you mean they never explicitly referred to it - you´re absolutely correct. However, allusions to human detrimental impacts on the environment are there.... for those who want to listen.
Good memories of early 90s
When I was kid I went on a school trip about 20 years ago with my school friends to the Lake District on a mini bus and this song came on the radio and everyone started singing including teachers without care in the world, we had a amazing time in Lake District and this was the anthem of the trip and a lot the lads on the trip stay great friends to this day , this is why this song will always remind me of childhood
this comment is great but also sad. Nowadays kids my would laugh at this song
that is magic
If we could only turn back the clock to the good old school days
Thats amazing. The meaning of the song. Were should be used. Vivan los 90's ya se puede decir!!!
This is NZL second National anthem
Fantastic band. Brings back memories of my little boy when he was a baby.
I get so emotional at times listening old songs.
Miss you dad xxxxxx.
This song always cheers me up when am feeling down.
that makes the two of us
Makes 3 :)
+4 :) hope all is well
