In 1990 Had been diagnosed with cancer and given a 10% chance of surviving. Went to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Tx. Finished Chemo and began Radiation. About the 3rd week of Radiation, I finished a treatment and was down and not feeling well. Walked out and got in my car. This song played on the radio.

Definitely. Queen always comes to mind for me. Freddie possessed his crowds. Noel gallaghers crowds do too especially for don't look back in anger. It's so amazing to see how a song brings people together. Such a great thing to see.
Robbie Williams is the best at having the crowd either sing along OR sing the key lines while he stands and smiles. See ANGELS at Knebworth or MY WAY at Albert Hall
As I've gotten older, everytime I hear this song, I can't help but to close my teary eyes and just feel the song move through my soul. How I miss when I was young in the 80's when I had best friends, awesome music, and great hair! 😄😁
I'm with you on this....I especially miss all my friends and the good times we shared dancing, partying together while listening to all this great music. Our partying usually just involved some beer, a bonfire, good music and just being together back in those days.
+JJ Amen to that. I've always thought that time is only a clock and a calendar; and as we grow older all we have left are a tangle of memories of what used to be. Sometimes I would give anything to go back and relive it all
Essa canção marcou e ainda está vivo em minha memória até os dias de hoje Ela me fez entender que o verdadeiro amor é quando se ama o ser e não o o fisico Amei muito uma pessoa sem ter a mínima intenção de toca-la mas apenas estar com ela E posso dizer que jamais a esqueci, mesmo hoje aos 70 anos ainda me lembro de seu jeito lindo de ser O incrível que quando ela veio trabalhar comigo foi uma pessoa normal como qualquer uns de meus funcionários Mas tirei dessa lição de que a vida è insondável e tudo tem uma ligação carniça É uma longa história, mas valeu a pena amar alguém que nada sentia pelo físico, mas sim pela sua incrível energia que durante pouco tempo de convivência Confessei a eka meu amor e encontramos várias vezes para almoçar e acabou cada para o seu lado Na época ela tinha apenas 16 anos e eu 33 anos, hoje eke tem 53 anos Que saudades
This is for my friend Warren beautiful friend and hairdresser came from the same place as crowded house seen there first concert ever. Unfortenely my dear friend Warren passed away two weeks ago. Fly high lovely man❤
Actually I do hear this beautiful classic on all 3 of my local 80’& today radio stations. A great song is like vintage wine; it only gets better with time.
Regardless of your age, mental state, circumstances music can put you exactly where you need to be. This is where I needed to be. Thank you Crowded House. Play On.
I just showed this song to my 7 year old daughter for the first time and she said it was the 'most beautiful song she's ever heard', pretty accurate assessment I would say :)
The world should rise in unison and blast this song from every rooftop, window and basement cellar as a wall of defiance to the adversity facing the human spirit in this present age and time. If we don't fight back, we loose.
Few bands can draw this crowd- even fewer after 30 years- but only crowded house can turn them into a beautiful amazing angelic choir that radiates hope and happiness , something we all desperately need. Just beautiful.
2021, this is still the most beautiful song and live performance i have ever heard. In the 80s I was a punk ass skater and didnt get it. Now I get it, but I am not sure what it is except pure beauty.
I'm 63 years old....all 3 of my sons LOVE this great tune....it's awesome when music crosses generations! I love so much of the 80's rock but I grew up in the 60's...hey now!
80s were the greatest... fortunate to have grown up then... I will be 51 in two days... Been listening to Tears for Fears(back in the news) and even Billy Idol (Eyes Without a Face)...
This song I can listen to it over and over I remember when their video first came out with this song. Had friends over listening MTV with all the 80’s songs having a beer and joints being passed around. The 80’s was an awesome era to live in sure do miss those days……….😊
I was having the hardest day of my life, nothing good was happening. Only conflict. Then I found this by accident. The beauty of audience participation just blew my mind and turned my mood around. BEAUTIFUL !!!!!
i took songs like this for granted growing up in 80s thinking i'm too cool to listen to adult songs. Now I realized that the music that I mindlessly hum whenever it was on radio lives forever inside me.
Totally with you there. Born in 1980 and used to laugh at my parents and call them lame because of "their music." Now my daughter laughs at me because I bump 80s music on the regular. Full circle.
The 80's was the best decade for the styles of clothing and hair and the best of music. What we wore to coloring our hair with different colors has not stopped in the 80's still remains in 2021
This song helped me get through Army basic training back in 1987. We weren't allowed to have cassette tapes during basic training. I brought a boat load of cassettes with me. During shakedown a Drill Sargent got into my face and said "you came here to jam, didn't you?" So, this was the song that I sang in my head to get me through basic training.
Funny how you can recall the songs you liked after so many years....I had a 2nd job in the evening and they used to play it on the local radio. My brother asked me what I wished to my bd and I answered "Crowded house". I still have the CD and listen to it sometimes, but I prefer the farewell version with all band members.
Don’t dispair... there are real musicians still out there and being born every second. Go out there and find them and give them the same chance these guys had.
I went to Australia in the 80's and it's so sad what has become of that Continent, as well as here in America. Touching to see the Opera House and the Princess Bridge. I drove that up to Brisbane! I love how he kept having the audience repeat "they won't win", they were so naive, rightly so.
Just saw Fleetwood Mac tonight and Finn and Mike Campbell from The Heartbreakers are taking Lindsey Buckinghams place! They were great! Finn sings Buckingham better Buckingham.
gosh! feels like a life time ago. We were so young, nothing could stop us.. full of dreams and not a worry on our mind. Life was so simple. I am so grateful to be one of the 80ies kids! Knowing all those fantastic bands knowing all the lyrics -- makes feel so alive! I loved that song so much back in the days.. and I still do - AWESOME ☺️
Heard this song here and there over the years but never paid attention to the lyrics, just the feeling I got. Today I got it all. How profound that experiences such as this can enable us to so easily connect with each other to truth, beauty, and peace across time and space. A glimpse of eternity?
Quantas vidas marcadas com essa música linda,quantos momentos vívidos..resta saudades..como queria recomeçar ,como queria viver novamente esse momento.. Da um like quem gostaria de voltar esse tempo.
One of the best things my dad did for me was give to me the knowledge of 80’s music. I’ve always jammed it here and there but it wasn’t till his loss that I can really appreciate it now. After scrolling through a lot of the comments I’m seeing how people think the newer generations don’t appreciate this music and how youth is wasted on the young. While that is mostly true, there is also small pockets of us younger folk that do in fact appreciate not only music such as this, but also realize that life/youth/time is fleeting and the only way to slow it down (at least a little) is to truly live in the moment. Be Here Now is the best advice I can give to anyone. I also feel that every generation rises to the challenge when they have to, despite the previous generations misconceptions. After all we’ve learned from you guys 😁 so I wouldn’t worry too much about your legacies and such. I believe they’re in good hands 👍 and dad, I’ll never dream that it’s over. I’m sorry things didn’t work out between us but my only hope always has and always will be to make you proud ❤️ Rest In Peace. I love and miss you. 12/16/64 - 8/18/20
Yes. I've lots of youths in the comment section of 80s music, who say they love it. Some even say they prefer 80s and 90s music better than those of their generation. Some indicated they discovered 80s music while playing video game (GTA).
One of the most underrated bands of all time, sadly, most of the youth of today has never even heard of them. Their writing and songs are timeless but sadly the ripples of their music haven’t spread too far.
These superb 80s hits really remind you of how much time has passed you by. And then, you really have a hard one-on-one with yourself. You realize this music was and probably is the only sure thing in your life.
This song is a soundtrack to a moment in my life when i was crossing the 3 Mile Bridge in Pensacola. Looking out over the Bay, the water, waves and ripple of sunlight on the whitecaps seemed to be in perfect unison with the song on my radio. It was a moment where i felt both peace and life. I try to relive that.
[Verse 1] There is freedom within, there is freedom without Try to catch a 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
Fantastic when you can stop singing and your audience just carries on and couldn’t care less! Then you really know you’ve arrived! Brilliant! What a great band! 🇬🇧😆
😍😍😍👍👍👍...What I love the most about this live performances ,they played original arrangement of the song,and sing it live perfectly better than studio recorded...Thumbs up.. 👍👍👍

This song's always given me chills. Hearing the crowd sing so loud...wow powerful. ❤️
Beautiful comment, Lori. Well and perfectly said! Cheers from Canada.
Essa canção marcou e ainda está vivo em minha memória até os dias de hoje
Ela me fez entender que o verdadeiro amor é quando se ama o ser e não o o fisico
Amei muito uma pessoa sem ter a mínima intenção de toca-la mas apenas estar com ela
E posso dizer que jamais a esqueci, mesmo hoje aos 70 anos ainda me lembro de seu jeito lindo de ser
O incrível que quando ela veio trabalhar comigo foi uma pessoa normal como qualquer uns de meus funcionários
Mas tirei dessa lição de que a vida è insondável e tudo tem uma ligação carniça
É uma longa história, mas valeu a pena amar alguém que nada sentia pelo físico, mas sim pela sua incrível energia que durante pouco tempo de convivência
Confessei a eka meu amor e encontramos várias vezes para almoçar e acabou cada para o seu lado
Na época ela tinha apenas 16 anos e eu 33 anos, hoje eke tem 53 anos
Que saudades

There is no bands nowadays that will sound this good in 40 years!
I was going to argue that point until every band I could think of that has that chance is 20 or more years old already... 🤷♂️

and dad, I’ll never dream that it’s over. I’m sorry things didn’t work out between us but my only hope always has and always will be to make you proud ❤️ Rest In Peace. I love and miss you. 12/16/64 - 8/18/20
Yes. I've lots of youths in the comment section of 80s music, who say they love it. Some even say they prefer 80s and 90s music better than those of their generation. Some indicated they discovered 80s music while playing video game (GTA).
Too young to lose a father. I'm sorry.
@@johnhutchison9782 thank you. Yes, it’s been rough to say the least.
Your daddy musta had you older cuz my mama was born in 61 and I’m an 80’s baby born 10/9/1980.
@@kmsleyang8972 1990, I think he was 26-27 maybe?
Neil Finn...one of the greatest songwriters of his generation.
I have been obsessed with this perfect gem the past couple of days. Awesome
After all these years he sounds just perfect! What a outstanding performance!
Yes, for sure and as he says before start playing. "No, it's beginning of a New Era" !! Hey now
One of the most underrated bands of all time, sadly, most of the youth of today has never even heard of them. Their writing and songs are timeless but sadly the ripples of their music haven’t spread too far.
You can wake me up whenever you want with this song.
Bart this song moves me deeply.Takes me back to my innocent childhood years.What a classic!
80’s classic! A song that transcends from a generation to the present. lovely! Love this when i was 11, still love this now that im 48
Such a humble and sweet person . He' the best always 🎶💯💞
Him and Tony Hadley still have absolutely flawless voices that have hardly aged. The 80s produced some true talent.
The most underrated, missed band of all time...
Beatiful song ❤❤❤. Love from Argentina 🇦🇷💙
very powerful..song..the power to make a man cry....even when it is over and you know it...oh well ,,life goes on...
These superb 80s hits really remind you of how much time has passed you by. And then, you really have a hard one-on-one with yourself. You realize this music was and probably is the only sure thing in your life.
One of my favorite songs of ALL TIME!
Adam B Hockley Mine as well.
Adam B Hockley Also mine
The TOP inspirational song ever!!
Me too
*Adam B Hockley* Just because of one song?
This song is a soundtrack to a moment in my life when i was crossing the 3 Mile Bridge in Pensacola. Looking out over the Bay, the water, waves and ripple of sunlight on the whitecaps seemed to be in perfect unison with the song on my radio. It was a moment where i felt both peace and life. I try to relive that.
[Verse 1]
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch a 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
Hearing the crowd sing along made the hair on my neck stand up.
Fantastic when you can stop singing and your audience just carries on and couldn’t care less! Then you really know you’ve arrived! Brilliant! What a great band! 🇬🇧😆
I'm a 70's guy but great music is great music no matter the decade.
😍😍😍👍👍👍...What I love the most about this live performances ,they played original arrangement of the song,and sing it live perfectly better than studio recorded...Thumbs up.. 👍👍👍
