So proud to be a New Zealander and have grown up with this music. And I am blown away by the reviews 👌🍻👍 awesome loving it. The best band to ever come out of NZ 🇳🇿, believe me there's more.
I may be far away in Scotland but I can verify that. It's partly what I came here to say. In my opinion NZ music doesn't get enough recognition. Bic Runga, Boh Runga and stellar* Headless Chickens Cruise Control, Anika Moa, Strawpeople, The Feelers, Dave Dobbyn.
@@hdmccart6735 Thanks not heard that song must check it out. I got the last album from Strawpeople that features Fiona Mcdonald of The Headless Chickens.
Neil Finn is one of the best pop songwriters of modern time. His love songs are just incredible. And the emotion in his voice... so great. So nice to see you really appreciating them.
These blokes didn't need clicks in their ears or any fancy engineers, they are just superbly talented musicians. Thanks for your reactions to this, and many other bands from Downunder, lovin' your work.
I read where years ago, the brothers and their families use to meet up at restaurants at home in NZ, and take their guitars. They'd sit and play ideas for songs. Imagine being lucky enough to be in the restaurant on one of those nights... Oh, and again, thanks Dei, great choices.
OMG ... I love this song so much... Goosebumps every time. I've loved Split Enz since I was about 8....I'm 52 now and my 11 year old daughter loves them too 🥰 Thanks guys xoxoxo
Had the absolute pleasure of seeing Neil do this at a recent Crowded House gig on piano, solo under the stars at sunset on a beautiful spring night. It was absolutely sublime 💕
Neil Finn, the singer of this song, is one of the great songwriters of the world. His song writing skills are another level. He gets so much praise from many international stars. Hes good friends with Dave Mustaine, the co founder and lead singer of Megadeath, and was for a time, touring with Fleetwood Mac as their lead vocalist. Even though he not well know as an international star, he has great respect from most in the music world and his peers. Some artists to have covered his music include Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande and hes played with and sung with Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder, who actually sung " I See Red " song at a concert.
A great NZ band, I had the pleasure of working on a few of their shows in the 70's...Tim singing I Hope I Never is out of this world..also check out Six60 live version Don't Forget Your Roots 2021,whilst the world was in lockdown they did a record breaking tour of NZ..
The live arrangement of this song has changed over the years, and always sounds great. When Split Enz officially broke up in 1983, they had a farewell tour titled "Enz With a Bang!" in 1984. In that tour Neil played a great guitar solo at the end of the song.
I am so blessed to have seen Crowded House in 1992 when they were at the top of their game, when half through their set, Tim Finn came out on stage and joined his brother Neil Finn in a historic reunion of Split Enz, and the crowd went crazy, holding up album covers of Split Enz records. It was like an unexpected Beatles reunion. It was epic! If you don't know who the Split Enz were, it's like not knowing who were the predecessors of Crosby Stills and Nash were. You missed one oi the most important contributions to modern rock history.
For me, you just hit the musical jackpot. This reunited Split Enz performance is one of the best out there. I like how you guys like and appreciatie one of the most beautiful songs ever created. I don’t have a clue who you are, the algoritme brought me here but while you discovered this pearl, may i suggest also the solo Tim Finn, and REM, The Smiths, Counting Crows, The Cure, Talk Talk, China Crisis, Pearl Jam, Crowded House ( Love this Life/ She goes on / there goes god/ world were you live), and going really crazy, Dutch bands like Ten Sharp You, Doe Maar, Bløf, Acda & de Munnik. Keep this spirit going 😀, thnx from Amsterdam Holland.
Chemistry and timing YES! But realise these guys had been playing together for nearly 40 years at this point. This was their 2006 One Out Of The Bag reunion and I was lucky to be at this concert. Absolute perfection and one of the best gigs I have been to. FYI the two front men are brothers and both multi instumentalists.
Omg. Kiwi Split Enz/Crowded House fan since the late 70s. These songs are our anthems... along with so many other greats. For a Lil country... damn we have some talent. ❤
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. I mean the lyrics are absolutely gorgeous, but the music is pure art. Somehow it carries a sense of vulnerability, cautious hope, and even relief at the expression of those feelings.
"Message To My Girl" is one of the best Pop songs of the past forty years. It is on a level with the best songs created by Elton & Bernie, or by Lennon & McCartney.
I was at that concert. It was a superb performance. If you can find the Split Enz concert they performed in Canada many years ago you will hear Tim Finn singing a beautiful song titled Charlie. It really is a magnificent performance. He has an amazing range.
This song is their best work IMO. No idea why it was not a world wide hit. BTW is that Noel Crombie on drums because if it is then he must have created the costumes.
This song is from the mid 80's, so I guess they played it live a few times. Hence, the being in sync. Tim Finn and Neil Finn are brothers from rural Te Awamutu in NZ. The rest of the band are top musicians. It's interesting to see the style of music in Split Enz started with Tm Finn and Phil Judd and Neil picked up a lot of that and added his style.
My wife and i were to young to see spit enz in their heydey we were just starting primary school so it was awesome to see them on this tour in Auckland in our 30's
Ahh, saw them early in 1980s before this song and before Neil joined and when they were still doing the crazy costumes and makeup. Great concert, energy off the scale.
So awesome to see you guys reacting to split enz, they were a little misunderstood I think, actually amazing musicians and writers, but weren't taken seriously and they just had fun!!!! but people who got to see them live were lucky and got to see the full performance!!!! Please react to Eddie Vedder, betchadupa and Tim doing I see red, seven world's collide!!!!!
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Every single person in this band is extraordinarily supremely talented on their given intrument. Neil Finn replaced Lindsy Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac when he was kicked up the proverbial and fired. His first time playing for them he was nervous as hell, who wouldn't be, replacing Lindsay...duck that, but he was warmly welcomed. And guys, the Finn brothers, Tim was on accoustic, are kiwis(that means from New Zealand). Not Australia.
I always find that song beautiful. I said it before Neil who is singing this also replaced Lindsay Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac's. Also, Yarra and Caulfield were Tim and Neil lived for 10 years in Melbourne and the song was written about. if you were interested
Hey guys it’s hard to interpret the New Zealand accent if you’re not from New Zealand, I appreciate the drive into the sound , I personally love the music, gives me home ground🥰
So proud to be a New Zealander and have grown up with this music. And I am blown away by the reviews 👌🍻👍 awesome loving it. The best band to ever come out of NZ 🇳🇿, believe me there's more.
in my opinion, one of the best songs ever written, ever!!!
This performance always brings tears to my eyes. God I wish they would go on tour again.
Wasn’t it said when Paul McCartney was asked what’s it like to be the worlds best songwriter he said I wouldn’t know you would have to ask Neal Finn
Yesssss !!!!!
Yes he did
Tim Minchin asked McCartney about this and it turns out to be untrue.
That's an urban legend that doesn't seem to go away.
Wait wtf where was this?
Between Australia and New Zealand we are blessed by some fine musicians and lyricists and with our combined tiny populations we have so much talent.

And they’ve been doing it for fifty years. Mainland native here 👍👍
They're from New Zealand, actually
@@paulhagger3895 Hey, Cuz!. UnZud is downunder, just like us Aussies.
Three amazing piano players actually, both Finn brothers and the maestro Eddie Rayner.

i will never stop loving this song
The version they did with an orchestra years ago is just gorgeous.
The NZ Symphony Orchestra if I’m not mistaken?
Neil Finn is one of the best songwriters on the planet........
Had the absolute pleasure of seeing Neil do this at a recent Crowded House gig on piano, solo under the stars at sunset on a beautiful spring night. It was absolutely sublime 💕
One of my faves… you’ll have your socks knocked off with “I Hope I Never..”

The great memories of my youth is seeing Split Enz and MANY other great Aussie bands playing at the Collendina Pub in Ocean Grove in the 80's.
Split Enz not an aussie band
Kiwi band mate!
Australia and NZ had an abundance of musical talent in the 70's to the 90's it was a great time for us
A great NZ band, I had the pleasure of working on a few of their shows in the 70's...Tim singing I Hope I Never is out of this world..also check out Six60 live version Don't Forget Your Roots 2021,whilst the world was in lockdown they did a record breaking tour of NZ..
One of my favorite songs of all time.
A masterpiece!! So many layers of brilliance ... The passing of time will never bury this tune - its eternal!
Literally one of my favourite song, lucky to see them live twice and Crowded House, The Finn Brothers are Rock Royalty in New Zealand..
One of my favourites from the Enz!
Great band and great song. It's hard to choose a favourite but love "I Got You" and the album it came from "True Colours".
The live arrangement of this song has changed over the years, and always sounds great. When Split Enz officially broke up in 1983, they had a farewell tour titled "Enz With a Bang!" in 1984. In that tour Neil played a great guitar solo at the end of the song.
This song has such a particular melancholy about it that it just tugs at your heart.

Eddie was there at the beginning.
Thanks guys...i loved the Split Enz videos. Neil Finn is a musical genius in my book.
70's and 80's live scene in Australia created bands. Practice, gig, practice, gig..... best time ever as a punter
My teen years. Courting song. Privileged to see them live.
Neil Finn has written so many great songs. Have you listened to Split ENZ I walk away?
And yes the bass player is Amazing too.
I absolutely adore Tim Finns musicianship. ❤
My favourite line of all time.
"There's nothing quite as real as the touch of your sweet hand"
I love that line ❤❤
@casey4015 FIFO worker, keeps me smiling while I am away.
Glad you picked this one. One of the best. Superb musicianship
Neil Finn, was lead singer for Fleetwood Mac for a while
He filled in for Lindsay Buckingham....they even played a couple of his songs too
One of my favorite songs to sing along with at the concerts.
There's three piano players! Tim Finn plays piano as well. 😊
what a stylish, unique outfit/band. So much to love, appreciate and enjoy
My wife and i were to young to see spit enz in their heydey we were just starting primary school so it was awesome to see them on this tour in Auckland in our 30's
Neil Finn one the greatest song writers
And Tim ain't bad, either.
Forget the piano listen to Neil’s voice in your own in the dark. You’ll never be the same
A must hear Spilt Enz song...I see red...
Ahh, saw them early in 1980s before this song and before Neil joined and when they were still doing the crazy costumes and makeup. Great concert, energy off the scale.
Two very talented Kiwi's Tim And Neil Fin and Crowed House after Split Enz both two massive groups cannot be wrong
I have never heard that last verse. Just breathtaking in its meaning....
So awesome to see you guys reacting to split enz, they were a little misunderstood I think, actually amazing musicians and writers, but weren't taken seriously and they just had fun!!!! but people who got to see them live were lucky and got to see the full performance!!!! Please react to Eddie Vedder, betchadupa and Tim doing I see red, seven world's collide!!!!!
see the studio recorded video of this
Finn brothers are top end song makers .
Neil Finn is a genius
You can see why Mick Fleetwood asked Neil to join his band after they sacked Lyndsey Buckingham. The man is a genius.
And the drummer/percussionist is also the costume designer!
Their shows are like old friends getting together again, which they are really. I see my FInn Frenz and we have a blast.
Tim and Neil Finn are brothers, Neil went on to start Crowded House.
They have perfect harmonies together.
Pure magic
Neil was lead guitar mainly and only a part time piano player. The best band to come out of New Zealand
Though Neil can play the piano, Eddie Rayner is the true maestro.
I adore this ❤
I was there
Neill Finn,one of the best musicians to come from New Zealand, recently seen in Fleetwood Mac filling in for the great Lindsay Buckingham
Tim is a pianist as well, 3 in the band 😳
Love the Finn brothers.
The Finn brothers have the best hair in all of the rock world!
Neil writes his songs to his wife sharon❤
This is one of my favourite songs of all time. Every single person in this band is extraordinarily supremely talented on their given intrument. Neil Finn replaced Lindsy Buckingham from Fleetwood Mac when he was kicked up the proverbial and fired. His first time playing for them he was nervous as hell, who wouldn't be, replacing Lindsay...duck that, but he was warmly welcomed. And guys, the Finn brothers, Tim was on accoustic, are kiwis(that means from New Zealand). Not Australia.
Best Groove
I used to live in Caulfield.
Another one on my RAGE Guest Programmer list. These guys are God's here in Oz. Understandably 🤟😏
RIP Hester we r with u always brother
I always find that song beautiful. I said it before Neil who is singing this also replaced Lindsay Buckingham in Fleetwood Mac's. Also, Yarra and Caulfield were Tim and Neil lived for 10 years in Melbourne and the song was written about. if you were interested
Fun fact: this was a song Neil Finn wrote when he was dating and considering proposing to his wife. They've been married ever since.
Hey guys it’s hard to interpret the New Zealand accent if you’re not from New Zealand, I appreciate the drive into the sound , I personally love the music, gives me home ground🥰
They are Kiwis!! Brothers!
They don't need a click in their ears because they have a drummer. The drummer keeps time.
I never knew about clicks to stay coordinated on stage.
tim and niel are brothers so music runs in the family
yeah vers a lot of talent in vis band. tim also plays piano,
sorry.. referring to singer.. he also plays piano, so 3 in same band
These guys will go down in history with likes of Beethoven and Mozart 👏
If you want pure artistry from Split Enz, I Hope I Never, My Mistake and the original video of Message To My Girl.
Then you need to look at Skyhooks
Diviner heavens fall
Ig you are afraid to say I love you, ask Neil Finn the poet!
Did they have in-ears back then?
No.
same band, many bands.... same family
Give it a whirl I hope i never. And straight old line Follow that with dirty creatures
Meme me another outfit that can play those styles
You know Neil & Tim are brothers right??
Crazy that there’s so much talent in one family.
