- Brian Timothy "Tim" Finn, OBE (born 25 June 1952) is a New Zealand singer and musician. His musical career includes forming 1970s and 1980s New Zealand rock group Split Enz, a number of solo albums, temporary membership in his brother Neil's band Crowded House and his joint efforts with Neil Finn as the Finn Brothers.
Finn had his first success away from Split Enz in 1981 when his discarded demo "They Won't Let My Girlfriend Talk To Me" became a top 10 hit for Australian band Jimmy and the Boys.[1] In 1983 Finn recorded his debut solo album, Escapade, while still a member of Split Enz. This met with major commercial success both in Australia and New Zealand, and yielded hit song Fraction Too Much Friction, which revealed a more rhythm-based sound than Split Enz had been known for. After contributing four songs to Split Enz album Conflicting Emotions, Finn left the band permanently in June 1984, to focus on a solo career. The following year he moved to London. 1986 saw the release of his second solo album Big Canoe. The album utilised a wide variety of instrumentation, including guitars, orchestral backings and traditional Indian instruments - most notably on single No Thunder, No Fire, No Rain, which was inspired by the Bhopal chemical disaster. Though Big Canoe reached number three on the New Zealand charts, it failed to become the international breakthrough that Finn or record company Virgin had hoped.
During this time, Finn's focus also turned to soundtrack music, and he landed a few acting roles on-screen. Finn has composed for a number of Australian films and TV productions, including 1981 teen tale Puberty Blues and comedy Les Patterson Saves the World. He had a small part in Australian film The Coca-Cola Kid alongside then-girlfriend Greta Scacchi, and a larger one in her Italian-shot romance La Donna della Luna (The Moon Woman).
The sweetest lyrics in Zealand music ever.
Australia
This is my song 😊
Such a great song! Should have been a huge international hit! Thank God for VH1 back then - or I'd have never even heard it!
No Australia you can't have Tim Finn he is ours, Love New Zealand.

Debuted in my weekly personal music charts on April 8, 1989 edition :)
god that voice is gold aye
I remember hearing this song at the end of the 80´s or was it in 1990? I liked it since the first time I was listening to it. I like the music, the melody and the lyrics. And he has had a great voice.
I liked also "Better be home soon", which was a song of Crowded House, but I didn´t know that the guys were brothers.
End of the 80's, released in 1989 🙂
I'm gonna make this classic popular😉😉
This song reminds me of was about 9 years old

Great video...hard to find such classics in such good quality. Nice job.
🤓👍sooo good!!! Is playing Michael Froom the keywords??? Greetings from Germany hearing it after 30 years.... The brother from Neil
....
Haven't seen this for ages. Thing is I got Colin Hay s one and this one confused because the feature a rainy window and a guitar..except Tim isn't inside alot whereas Colin is. Fact here is both were realised wells of each other, and both sing around the same subject more or less. I think Colin won that round, but tim sings way better in the singing round.
🤣😍💯
Is that Greta in the video? I assumed this song, and most of the album, was inspired by their breakup
No.
Sure looks like her
Greta really broke his heart, but could not resist bad boy Vincent.
Oh yeah. God we almost lost him fact to be told.
