Neil Finn stands in the company of the greatest song writers of the century and the other greats would be honoured to stand next to him. That’s my take on it.
I do agree with that, but I would add he has amazing musical talent. He stands up there with his acoustic and his gorgeous voice, no other singers, and knocks it out of the park .
It's a shame that Neil Finn has been largely overlooked as one of the great songwriters of our time by many key players in the music world. There's an argument to be made that Crowded House should get their turn in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, especially with songs like Don't Dream It's Over and Better Be Home Soon, among others.

I was surprised by how moving this live performance was (and continues to be). I don't normally like audiences singing, but when the audience sings the chorus at the end here, it's spine-tingling.
Don't Dream It's Over 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 traveling 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 T.V. 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

I don't think that Neil Finn is losing much sleep over not being in the R&RHOF. He's in my hall of fame and I have better taste than those wastes of space.
This is the best live recorded performance of this song. Its amazing
That outro is just pure perfection
Always leaves a tear of joy in my eyes when I hear this song

Among MANY others.
I want to say I heard that McCartney named him as one of the best song writers.
You are right!
❤
I absolutely adore this band and this song 😊❤️

Don't Dream It's Over
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 traveling 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 T.V. 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
Thanks 😎

No particular order; it's probably Neil Finn, Paul McCartney and Prince in my top three songwriters.
No laser beams, no flying dolls, no fireworks or fancy costumes ...
12k views!? That's scandalous!!
I can’t believe he is old
I wept.
