In 2000, My Dad was terminally ill with lung cancer. One day we'd been out for a drive and I was taking him back to the hospice and I had this playing on a tape in the car. He'd never heard it before but he listened several times and absolutely loved it. I had it played at his funeral, very moving. I've only recently been able to listen it again....
I was watching this video, which I adore, and watching Neil look over with so much love at his son, who is playing the echoey fill guitar here, and I was imagining Neil having a few words with the audience, about telling your family members just how much you love them, and encouraging the audience to do the same. Especially parents and children. And I was thinking about my 28 year old daughter, who I told just this morning how much I care about her, and how wonderful I think she is. Then I read your comment. Something going on here. Peace and love.
My Dad also died of lung cancer, in his early 50's (myself in my early 20's at the time). This song randomly played in a cafe recently and I was transported back to our old home and his cassette copy of this album, that would often be playing. A bittersweet mixture of sadness and loving memories.
So sorry for your lost of your dad. Beautiful testimony of how much he loved this song and how you had it played at his funeral. God Bless you for that.
This song was impeccably performed. The crowd singing along (most of whom probably weren't born for another decade after the song's release) is magic. That shows you how music can truly be timeless.
God bless the 80’s when I was 15 to 25 years old and I enjoyed every single year with My Mother, Father, and only Brother that are All dead now but They live in My Mind . This is one of My favorite songs.
I remember hearing this song when it first came out in 1986. I thought to myself, 'instant classic' and it's great to see Crowded House still performing. RIP to the original drummer Paul Hester.
The 43 year old me remains a hopeless romantic thanks to listening to songs like these when I was 8 years old. The 80's heartbreak songs were my nighttime lullabies.
Neil Finn's voice is just magical. I really appreciate the videos he made at his home studio during lockdown. Crowded House are a spiritual uplift during difficult times.
@@marklandau365 Currently, I think, 3 New Zealanders, 1 Australian, 1 US - but aside from that, Crowded House _is_ essentially Neil Finn (since he has virtually all the writing credits) plus whomever he choses to play with at the time
Split Enz is a Kiwi band and I actually prefer that music to Crowded House more so...but both are very good .... Te Awamutu can be found only in Aotearoa...
Yea.its great. But if you notice. This song is played in a differnt key every time I watch a video..he is just versatile enough to sing a song he wrote in any key.
Hairs on the back of my neck are up ..goosebumps.. emotional.. beautiful, timeless.. heartfelt .. I just loved this song from first listen and it really never gets old .. its a modern standard .. it never feels anymore other than genuine and never clichéd.. AN ALL TIME CLASSIC
This song is one of my favorites. I’m a black woman in my early sixties and it’s makes you think about where we are as a country all the separation, and evils in the world what ever happens in the future I hope we can remember the times we left behind
I'm a 38 year old Asian American female and I I don't know how far we came but I sure do not feel like I belong with anybody any groups God take me home
I liked this song as an 80's teen. It was just allright for me then. I probably didn't listen to it again until earlier this year. Let me tell you, at 54 it hit me in a completely unanticipated way. Took my breath away. What a great tune.
Yes I get what you mean. In my teens I thought Crowded House were like all those slick middle of the road 80’s bands (Deacon Blue etc) - I got the ‘Best Of’ posted by mistake from Britannia Music Club - kept it and just fell under the spell big time!
I have to admit..I've loved this song since I heard it the day it was released...but this version just got me choked up. Wow...so subtle...so melancholy...so amazing. Neil and band...you continue to surprise!!! Dig, DmGrk
@@BarryAlexanderKing It reminds me of when I was barely elementary age tagging along with my high-school aged brother, going to the comic book store and bothering him at band rehersals, lol
Love seeing Neil’s sons on the lead guitar and drums! Couldn’t have been better additions to the band than his sons who are not only big fans of their dad’s music but also great musicians. RIP Paul Hester 😢😢😢
Neil Finn has such a distinct and clear voice it’s sooooo incredibly uplifting and soothing, you can always pick it out of the crowd of even the Greats 👍👍👍
the funny thing is out of ALL of the people I saw perform at Glastonbury this year - these chaps were the only ones whose voices felt like old friends and warmed my heart in a way that took me out of myself - thanks guys
Neil Finn you ever dream you would be singing the song don't dream its over in 2022 at Glastonbury your voice still holds up Brother keep the faith blessings always.
The very definition of every 80's band we grew to know some 43 years ago, comprised of several meaningful intros, verses, every one of them different. Memorable choruses and catchy bridges. Lyrics that are never forgotten till this day. In another 30 to 40 years who's going to remember Cardi B, Doja Cat and a list that can go on.... 80's music will always be an era where people will remember a time and place where they heard a song, related it to a time in their lives and still to this day these legends of their time still evoke that sense of nostalgia in us all.
Generations are now singing this song out loud at concerts. Awesome. We just saw them in Berlin on Monday last week and it was amazing as well. Neil Finn is a LEGEND!!
A true Trans-Tasman Legend - the Concert in Berlin was AMAZING - so heart warming … Their new stuff is great too - with regards to overall entertainment they have never been more relaxed and any better than now. Will have to take a bunch of friends when they come around next time to Germany
@@Joytous oh yes thats so true for me Neil is the hottest man alive and such a good dancer and so full of amazing energy. I only noticed the band 2 years ago and am so very thankful for that.
Dude sounds just like he did when this was a new banger on the radio back in the 80's...I was like 6 when this first came out and I've always loved it.
LOrd give me 10 seconds of the satisfaction of leaving something so timeless and amazing behind when i go as this song. Just breathtaking how easily it transports me back.

I have seen the Crowdies live throughout the last 30 plus years and go through their line up changes and now it’s a blessing to hear Mitchell, Liam and Elroy recreating that original sound. It has to be said that I still bloody miss Paul Hester.
Absolutely. I've got about a dozen songs still now that trigger me instantly to think of him bouncing around at the back. It feels so so long ago yet sometimes feels like yesterday.. crazy really.
There is nothing so powerful as a great rock ballad and this one tops them all. It is so emotional I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Thank you Crowed House!
Neil Finn is a bloody treasure...this is music kids...One of the greatest songs ever, by one of the greatest ever singer/songwriters. I remember listening to this for the first time as a 17yr old in Marton, NZ in '86 and thinking this song could be anything....and it was....
What a beautiful redition of this classoc song. Neil Finn is one of he greatest musicians in history, songwriting and performance. The fact that his two sons are in the band and rock this song makes me fall in love with my childhood again. Ive met Liam and Elory multiple times when Liam was touring for himself (gracious and wonderful people) and I am smiling ear to ear watching this video.
One of the very best songs ever written. I remember watching them playing it many years ago at what I believed was their “farewell” gig on New Years Eve at Sydney Opera House and how much of an impression it made on me. Loved it ever since.
@@simonhodgetts6530 It is. And a few years later he wrote "Fall at Your Feet", then, "Private Universe" shortly after that! How many people have written as many absolute killers as Neil?
There is freedom within There is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead Many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're travelling with me … Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win … Now I'm towing my car There's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion But there's no proof In the paper today Tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the TV page … Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win … Now I'm walking again To the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only shadows ahead Barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and release … Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us You know they won't win … Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now) Hey now, hey now Hey now, hey now Don't let them win (They come, they come) Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now), yeah Hey now, hey now
It's funny, we think of Neil Finn as a singer/song writer from kiwiland. Loved but never realising how much his songs resonated around the world. So proud of him!
I’m 58 and remember when this song came out in the 80s. Truly never gets old. But what gives me chills is seeing these youngsters singing the worlds. And hearing that crowd. Man life goes too fast folks!!!!!
His voice is timeless, he still sounds every bit as good today as he did all those years ago. Took me a long time to appreciate this song, I thought it was about the downfall of a relationship, but I was wrong. It's the polar opposite, it's about a relationship surviving the ups and downs. Neil Finn, keep performing this classic, we need more uplifting pieces like this. Thank you.
In 1989, at the tender age of 8, I dubbed over my sister's New Kids On The Block cassette so I could record a mixtape for a girl named Megan. It's one of my most vivid childhood memories. This song always hits me hard.
i dont think we give these guys enough credit! they sound amazing for having performed this song for so many years. over a decade ago and he still has such an amazing voice
I have just hit 65, I was in my prime when this song arrived, a lot of my family and friends have sadly gone now, I become really emotional when I listen to it. I become really emotional at most things nostalgic these days. a beautiful song, from happier times.
@@pmoorepmkmoore3377 You said it. I have all of split enz discography and of course crowded house. One of my all time faves is the lesser known "dirty creatures" by split enz.
@@bornflippy1 yes one of my faves by split enz, I had the enz of an era best of cassette from 1982 which featured dirty creature, and last time I was in Australia in 1989 I saw split enz/crowded house live at darling harbour in Sydney, great memories 😊🇳🇿🇦🇺🎸
Have been fortunate enough to see Crowded House live several times over the years, including during their first tour of Europe, when it was just Paul, Neil and Nick. A very small club venue, but a wonderful memory. I remember Paul walked around handing out fruit during the intermission. Saw them years later and talked with the band members earlier in the day. They signed a lot of stuff for me and Neil even let me pick a song to add for that evening's set list - I picked "Chocolate Cake." I absolutely love this group❤
This just proves that this song is a classic. It never gets old and seems to get better with age. God bless Neil Finn, he's a great person and wonderful performer!
Ouvir esta canção hoje, é recordar o passado com muita emoção, parabéns a esta banda maravilhosa, e principalmente a este intérprete que nós da o prazer de ouvir esta canção eterna!
Young people are realizing the depth and soul of music from earlier decades. These are anthems to our generation that will stand the test of time. Songwriting and playing at its finest.
If you want to see young Neil Finn with Split Enz, start with 'I Got You', 'History Never Repeats', and maybe their Neil Finn-est song, 'Message to my Girl'
What makes this song so perfect? I have heard this 10000x since it came out, and it makes me emotional every single time, without fail. There's nothing particularly complex about it, and I couldn't name another Crowded House song, but add my name to the list who say it's their favorite, all-time, hands-down.
i’m so happy glastonbury is back and this is the first song that i hear from the show. looking forward to hear more from artists that i’ve never known before and want to find out more about their music.
As kid of the '60's and '70's, it took me a while to warm up to the music of the '80's. But I was lucky enough to have a job that let me wear a Sony Walkman all day during that time. Man, so much good music then! I look back now and I'm amazed by the talent and the timeless magic of that era, and this song is such a beautiful reminder!
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 song is almost 37 years old and it still sounds so good. I'm happy that young people like it.
The young people don't have a great deal of choice these days.... unless they go back 4 or 5 decades.
More young people listen to old music compared to years ago because mainstream music lacks the quality now. Old music stomps all on modern crap.
@@xyzlmnop5206 I'm sorry to tell you but my two sons love this music!! In fact, they say that they would have liked to have been born in the 60s.!!!

Thank you Crowded House for this song!
No it doesn’t
The intro riff is instantly recognizable
Ladies and gentlemen, THIS is why music in the 80's was the best!
I AGREE!!!
YESSSSSS!!!!!!!
Perfectly stated Karl! I was very lucky to be in High School in the early 80’s. You couldn’t beat the music of that time!
@@darksideofthemoon7158 LET THE CHURCH SAY.......AMEN👍🙏😔💯💯💯
Last decade before talent waned in the U.S. but not the best.

Antonello Venditti - big in Italian pop music since the '70s used this music for his "Alta Marea". Sort of a cover or a tribute I guess

I've seen those clips and Neil's melancholy performance was genuine and simply brilliant
There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're travelling with me
… Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
… Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion
But there's no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page
… Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win
… Now I'm walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
… Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
You know they won't win
… Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now)
Hey now, hey now
Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win (They come, they come)
Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now), yeah
Hey now, hey now
Inspiring words...especially now in the States.

Could be an anthem for our future - we have to keep fighting against the dark forces.
A masterpiece of Pop Musik!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song will be played in 200 years, an absolute thing of joy! Thank u Neil 👌
That's song don't have age. 👌😀
Lol..Actually it WON'T, because the world will BE GONE long before then..
I'm Korean & 52, It's Amazing and touching.. 80년대의 송가~
Lol Music knows NO age or race
They still sound as great as ever❤❤❤
It's funny, we think of Neil Finn as a singer/song writer from kiwiland. Loved but never realising how much his songs resonated around the world. So proud of him!
How can a song contain so many memories? It's wonderful
One of the best ever songs of hope in a difficult world. A whole lot of young people getting the message. Great vibe.
I just wanna cry....I feel so old. This sweetie once had dark hair....one of my most fav bands, ever 😢
I’m 58 and remember when this song came out in the 80s. Truly never gets old. But what gives me chills is seeing these youngsters singing the worlds. And hearing that crowd. Man life goes too fast folks!!!!!
Lol..Why? Music is and will always be TIMELESS and knows NO age
His voice is timeless, he still sounds every bit as good today as he did all those years ago. Took me a long time to appreciate this song, I thought it was about the downfall of a relationship, but I was wrong. It's the polar opposite, it's about a relationship surviving the ups and downs. Neil Finn, keep performing this classic, we need more uplifting pieces like this. Thank you.
Aren't we lucky to live in this time?
I was singing this song in the car the other day and yeah, it's crazy how good he still sounds and how high the chorus is.
In 1989, at the tender age of 8, I dubbed over my sister's New Kids On The Block cassette so I could record a mixtape for a girl named Megan. It's one of my most vivid childhood memories.
This song always hits me hard.
I bet your mixtape was 100 times better than NKOTB! 😂
Forest City Trivia...At that age I was still playing with toy trucks!!! 😉
lmao has your sister forgiven you yet?
I have similar early simping memories too
Megan...good Welsh language name
What a song, never fades!
i dont think we give these guys enough credit! they sound amazing for having performed this song for so many years. over a decade ago and he still has such an amazing voice
Lol..WTF?
Anyone else get goosebumps watching this?
Me too frisson all over
totally
💜💜💜
Yes, from all the way over in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Me, too! I love this song. I'm 60. I love playing the guitar chords and singing along to it. A Classic! Love from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 🇲🇾
Wonderful. Crowded House - Kiwi and Aussie band. Brilliant. Clean. Iconic.
I have just hit 65, I was in my prime when this song arrived, a lot of my family and friends have sadly gone now, I become really emotional when I listen to it. I become really emotional at most things nostalgic these days. a beautiful song, from happier times.
Great lyrics and melody . That's why NEVER obsolete
No words can ever say it better than this song
Damn ! The Finn Bro's just age like a fine wine, they are impeccable musicians that have brought it for us fans for over 40 years. This is amazing.
Yep, they still fine🙌🏽 with beautiful music❤
@@pmoorepmkmoore3377 You said it. I have all of split enz discography and of course crowded house. One of my all time faves is the lesser known "dirty creatures" by split enz.
I agree they sound the same as they did all those years ago
@@bornflippy1 Oh i feel you on that one, even going back to the split enz days they were rocking, pure gems 🥰.
@@bornflippy1 yes one of my faves by split enz, I had the enz of an era best of cassette from 1982 which featured dirty creature, and last time I was in Australia in 1989 I saw split enz/crowded house live at darling harbour in Sydney, great memories 😊🇳🇿🇦🇺🎸
This song reminds me of being a kid, me dad listening to it on his separates.
Long live Crowded House .. love 💕 from Australia!
80's RULE!!!
One of the most talented musicians to ever grace this Earth. He has been putting out hit after hit for more than 40 years.
Excelente temita ❤ una joya musical escuchandola hoy 21 de Febrero 2024 💖
Have been fortunate enough to see Crowded House live several times over the years, including during their first tour of Europe, when it was just Paul, Neil and Nick. A very small club venue, but a wonderful memory. I remember Paul walked around handing out fruit during the intermission.
Saw them years later and talked with the band members earlier in the day. They signed a lot of stuff for me and Neil even let me pick a song to add for that evening's set list - I picked "Chocolate Cake."
I absolutely love this group❤
My brother bought me their 1st CD for my birthday decades ago bc I liked this song so much. I still love it...
This just proves that this song is a classic. It never gets old and seems to get better with age. God bless Neil Finn, he's a great person and wonderful performer!
More Crowded House, please and thank you! ❤️
Ouvir esta canção hoje, é recordar o passado com muita emoção, parabéns a esta banda maravilhosa, e principalmente a este intérprete que nós da o prazer de ouvir esta canção eterna!
Amen my brother!
Young people are realizing the depth and soul of music from earlier decades. These are anthems to our generation that will stand the test of time. Songwriting and playing at its finest.
If you want to see young Neil Finn with Split Enz, start with 'I Got You', 'History Never Repeats', and maybe their Neil Finn-est song, 'Message to my Girl'
This performance simply blows me away. Criminally underrated, MORE PEOPLE MUST SEE THIS!
This is a song that'll continue to resonate with future generations... love it! 💕
Such a powerful song!❤ I've loved it since it came out back in the 80's! They sound exactly the same!❤❤❤
Crowded House is absolutly stunning. For me this song is a masterpiece.
Heard this first April 87. Never knew then, would be watching this now. Brilliant song.
What makes this song so perfect? I have heard this 10000x since it came out, and it makes me emotional every single time, without fail. There's nothing particularly complex about it, and I couldn't name another Crowded House song, but add my name to the list who say it's their favorite, all-time, hands-down.
Gutted I wasn't there - the best song!
i’m so happy glastonbury is back and this is the first song that i hear from the show. looking forward to hear more from artists that i’ve never known before and want to find out more about their music.
NZ's (and Aus) finest - what an honour to have them in the UK!
As kid of the '60's and '70's, it took me a while to warm up to the music of the '80's. But I was lucky enough to have a job that let me wear a Sony Walkman all day during that time. Man, so much good music then! I look back now and I'm amazed by the talent and the timeless magic of that era, and this song is such a beautiful reminder!
As hauntingly beautiful as ever...and the crowd singing along is a whole other dimension of cool.
I'm a big Crowded house fan and It was absolutely wonderful to see them back on that big stage sounding timeless.
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
