    I've gotta say something about a song from Split Enz which lead onto Crowded House. "I walk away" was a forgotten track in 84 and still is. Its a brilliant song and very underated. Reminds me of a lovely girl from North Fitzroy I met on the CB radio in 1984. I should never have walked away from her.

    Always loved this tune especially. I can’t imagine how awful & uncomfortable it must be to be cornered by some potentially psycho fan. Although in all fairness, it’s quite a trip from the States all the way down to NZ, Australia & Oceania. So if you’re not crackers when you leave the States you could very well be nuts when you get off that jet. As you yourself must know from your trips from home to the States. My hubby & I have made that flight from Dallas to French Polynesia twice and nearly went nuts. And we’ve been to more than 15 countries. Anyway, from Split Enz to Crowded House, thanks for the 🎶!

    A place that keeps my heart out on it's own
    A disconnected function of my wretchedness
    That keeps me so hard pressed
    It's a place where words are spoken you
    Will never hear
    A broken bridge of lines that just won't come
    An empty lung that won't give the wind
    To speak at me
    How far can it be from home
