Proud to have worked on this music video. Filmed in Treherbert (Margaret Street) and mountainside of Caerphilly, South Wales, UK. The street scenes were filmed on the first day followed by the mountain on day two. Falling off the wall was never intended to happen. Pen Pych mountain can be seen in the background of the street and lane scenes. The lane can be found between Margaret Street and Miskin Street, Treherbert.
Incredibly underrated song by the group. When I finally saw them live for the first time some years ago, my heart just felt so full when this one started, had waited over 25 years to hear it live and it lived up to everything and more. Karekare was the final place where the classic lineup collaborated at length and it may have taken its toll on a number of relationships within the band, but it also facilitated some incredible music that too many in the world have overlooked.
“And the hills are as soft as a pillow And they cast a shadow on my bed And the view when I look through my window Is an altarpiece I'm praying to for the living and the dead.” the lyrics to the the whole album were just something else.
I've always loved Crowded House. Neil Finn's song writing is wonderful and the band's musicianship is fantastic. Living here in Canada, I wonder how much praise would've been heaped upon them had they been American? RIP Paul Hester.
Well, oviously tonnes. Lok what the likes of slagdonna the vile gets for being a pointless slag with no talent beyond cash-grabbing and attention-seeking and foul pretence. According to that shit country, only what they do matters, unless your any old crap these days. Now there's no music scene for ages and ages, they'll accept any old crap!
This video was made in the lanes of the Upper Rhondda and on Caerphilly mountain. They wanted this as it reminded them of back home in NZ. First band i saw live mid 90s yet again in 2024 in cardiff, they were just as good.
Hello Alan...although Paul left the band shortly after TOGETHER ALONE....he was still hanging around with Neil (They were very close friends) and appears very, very briefly in the videos for "Instinct" (Gets into the car at about 1:09) and "Not The Girl You Think You Are" (at 2:05 he kisses the man and at about 2:53 and again at about 2:57...he sits in the restroom and is folding towels). Paul had played drums on BOTH of the tracks (and also on "Everything Is Good For You"...the three NEW tracks recorded for the Recurring Dream-Best of album), even though he was officially out of the band, and Peter Jones had replaced him. I was surprised to see him, I have to admit, but as I said, they all remained close friends after he left the band. Dig, DmGrk
Neil finn and the lead singer of squeeze had similar voices. Some songs that i think were squeeze were crowded house or vice versa. This i think is among there top 5 songs and best album and just edges woodface equally a good album
I’ve been locked out, I’ve been locked out But I always seen to come back again When you’re in that room, oh what do you do? I know that I will have you in the end And the clouds, they are crying on you And the birds are offering up their tunes In a shack as remote as a mansion You escape into a place where nothing moves And I’ve been locked out, and I know we’re through But I can’t begin to face up to the truth I wait so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will 1 day have you back And the hills are as soft as a pillow And they cast a shadow on my bed And the view when I look through my window Is an altarpiece I’m praying to for the living and the dead The twin valleys shines in the morning sun I send a message out to my only one Yet I’ve been locked out, and I know we’re through But I can’t begin to face up to the truth And I wait so long for the walls to crack But I know that I will 1 day have you back, yes I will And I work, bees in the honey Every night, I circle like the moon And it’s an act of simple devotion But it can take forever when you’ve got something to prove I’ve been locked out And I’m in locked down And I, I, I been locked out
My mother who's the utmost extreme working-class oik priss in the book thought this was psychologically extreme music ! I know, it's about as twee, middle-of-the-road, adult-orientated and as blatantly inoffensive as it gets !
this mess in lyrics and video plot fits perfectly the mess in life of people from movie Reality Bites - most of them were total mess, so it is mess on purpose, both movie and this song feels like untidy n messy 1990s ... still it sounds n feels freakin' cool
You are completely insane. Don't you dare compare this hack's voice with John Lennon's. If anything, this loser sounds like Glen Tilbrook, minus the talent.
Sonic mess. Meaningless noise. Complete waste of time. Awful song, awful video. OMG! I just had a weird experience! I just noticed that if you stare at the word "awful," it looks totally right at first, but as you continue staring at it, it begins to look wrong, as if it's not a real word, or at least not correctly spelled... Try it! It's blowing my mind! But I digress... Where was I? Oh, yes... Crowded House really sucks.
you are criticising Your own "sonic ignorance" Sir @PrimusDiabolus , more than quality of this song ... I feel AWFUL to tell You this, sorry... and it doesn't feel any less AWFUL with every moment staring at it ...

Neil Finn is off the charts with lyrical genius.

I dunno... INXS did pretty well. Just a stroke of luck and good promotion sometimes.
They've sold something like 10 million albums. That's praise. They're a great band and they've reaped the rewards for that.

I hope you’ve listened to Split Enz. If you’re a fan of the Crowdies, you’re going to love this stuff. 🙂
Distant Sun was huge in Canada and Muchmusic aired the farewell concert at least three times. The breakup killed all their momentum.
I'm an Australian I'm so proud of this kiwi.
All my childhood dreams and imaginations of Australia and New Zealand come from Woodface x
Great tune. Lots of great background vocals as well. Fantastic choppy guitar sound. Really nice percussion.
This has got a real"Helter Skelter" Beatles'vibe to it.
sounds like john lennon vocal wise here
I think Neil Finn would make an awesome Dr Who, he kinda reminds me of David Tennant on this vid, anyway, my fave Crowded House track 👍
My two favorite things colliding would be amazing!
This will be in my thoughts today... mentally making episodes.
His songs have/will stand test of time, space won't be a problem.
I'm also a huge David Tennant fan... Hmmm, I see it now!!
Timey wimey
Watching this while in lockdown 2020 during Covid pandemic.
same here in 2021 at from January onward
October 2021 here
neil is a genius
We've missed you, you crazy diamonds.
A single, that's not played enough, still just as competitive than the tunes they've made. ❤
Great under appreciated tune. It's greatness not lost on me though.
Love Crowded House and love this song! Love Wales, but gotta say it's a weird video. It's Crowded House; it would be strange if it wasn't weird!
It's great, it's weird. It's Crowded House.
Filmed in the South Wales valleys ahead of a gig that night at the Newport Centre, if I remember rightly.
Rhondda Valley, Tynewydd & Blaenrhondda
Wow! I never realised, but I had always thought it reminded me of parts of Cardiff... That explains it!
Thanks for the info - that’s what I came to find out. I thought it was Oop North near me.
Such a GREAT SONG!
The guy on the maraccas reminds me of the guy at bws rosebud. Love you boo xxxxx
One of my favorites 🔥 Thank You for all the AWESOME music including Spit Enz 👍🏻
A very underrated track
Definitely a Stone Roses vibe here. They were huge in UK at the time.
Stones roses? Sounds nothing like them. More like the Beatles.
This is 1994 lol not 1990
I'm watching all the available Crowded House hits here...
Missin' u "Heshy" and always will.
Love this song
Recuerdo mucho este tema.... me fascinaba... saludos desde Argentina
An underdog. But very great 🤩😍🤗

THIS songs got Motown badass vibe!
Very Beatle-esque. CH are the best band since then.
Yes,totally agree ! if you close your eyes and listen, I think Neil Finn sounds like John Lennon with his raspy voice on this track 👍
@@Colquhoun2676 More Beatle-esque si this one:

Neil Finn is one of the greatest songwriters of our age.... ask Paul McCartney, he knows.
More Stone Roses vibe here i'd say. check them out if you like this.
@@user-li3fr8jl3b sounds nothing like stone roses

Was filmed in Margaret Street and Miskin Street, Rhondda Cynon Taff. Pen Pych mountain in the background
Fantastic song and video
Video filmed in my hometown...Treherbert
Saw them do this live for that album’s tour
Winona! ^_^
I’ve been locked out, I’ve been locked out
But I always seen to come back again
When you’re in that room, oh what do you do?
I know that I will have you in the end
And the clouds, they are crying on you
And the birds are offering up their tunes
In a shack as remote as a mansion
You escape into a place where nothing moves
And I’ve been locked out, and I know we’re through
But I can’t begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long for the walls to crack
But I know that I will 1 day have you back
And the hills are as soft as a pillow
And they cast a shadow on my bed
And the view when I look through my window
Is an altarpiece I’m praying to for the living and the dead
The twin valleys shines in the morning sun
I send a message out to my only one
Yet I’ve been locked out, and I know we’re through
But I can’t begin to face up to the truth
And I wait so long for the walls to crack
But I know that I will 1 day have you back, yes I will
And I work, bees in the honey
Every night, I circle like the moon
And it’s an act of simple devotion
But it can take forever when you’ve got something to prove
I’ve been locked out
And I’m in locked down
And I, I, I been locked out
Great stuff
@Barry Stewart is Winona appearing in this video? Where? Thanks!
THIS songs got Motown badass vibe!
Only 1.5k views really? Even with this year being the 30th Anniversary of Reality Bites.
I can think of 10,000 videos that fit this song better than this one... but well, the tune is great
LIMA-PERU
Like one my horrid dreams where I'm running but getting nowhere.
Did Crowded house do any other songs that Rock Out like this one?
Saturday Sun
What did you do on this Sean? I loved them. Fascinating to know
I neeeeeed to know where this was filmed 😁
Looks a bit like Ireland x
It's definitely in the Rhondda Valley. It looks like the villages of Tynewydd & Blaenrhondda👍🏻 I recognise those streets, lanes & mountains 👌
Its was in Treherbert in The Rhondda Valley, Margaret St (My Grandad lived there) and then on either the Rhinos Mountain or Caerphilly Mountain
Hey Guys, thanks for your helpful responses - I really appreciate it 😄
0.16 seconds the shed my father built!
Pinned up on the wall of Rhydian the Milk’s house. (Rhydian Daniels local milk man rip)
His voice is so Lennon.
