This song has a legitimate case for being one of the greatest of all time, regardless of genre.
true
Neil Finn is the best.
You've got my vote a long time ago when they first hit the States. Beautiful.
Agreed
Grant420 I’d hate to see your Spotify playlist
“Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup” - that line is in my top 5 of favourite lyrics ever! Neil Finn is a true poet.
also "You never see the end of the road while you're travelling it." Poetic and profound.
Neil Finn to me, is on the same level as Paul Simon.
"Now I'm walking again, to the beat of a drum, and I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart." Probably the sweetest lyric I've ever heard
@@jamesdignanmusic2765 Random encounter.
I grew up in Te Awamutu, where Neil Finn and his fellow musician brother Tim are from. It was a huge deal for us when this song went global and the band had international success. Please keep in mind that this is a small, rural town with only a few thousand people. Folks would come from all over the place to steal the street signs for Teasdale Street, where they grew up, and Brotherhood Road, just because it was fitting given how massively successful Neil and Tim were together in Split Enz, prior to the formation of Crowded House. As a side note, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam is a long-time fan if Split Enz and PJ would occasionally perform covers of their songs at gigs. He has become a friend of the Finns over the years and performed with them both a few times. Neil's son, Liam, has also worked with Eddie.
Stan Walker guaranteed this song will be remembered @M.L.B. Of course, it was worth remembering anyway.
Neil Finn is now in Fleetwood Mac. RIP Paul Hester (drummer) sadly commited suicide several years back.
It always breaks my heart to hear of people on top of the world one day and take their life on another.
And the way he did it was terrible.
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the 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
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
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 T.V. page
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
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
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
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, hey now,
Thanks Brad for the lyrics,👍🇦🇺
R.I.P. Paul Hester.
Hessie was one of the funniest, most charismatic drummers of all time. He was the quintessential sad clown. A hilarious, gregarious presence on stage and off; but burdened by a lot of darkness in his personal life. Unfortunately that darkness eventually won out and he took his own life.
I remember finding out about this only a year or so ago and feeling very sad. I was roughly 14 when this album came out, I had it on Vinyl, and it was one of my favorite albums of the 80's. I loved every single song on it!
Beautiful song of hope, but I always feel melancholy when I hear it. One of my favorite 80’s song, just perfect in every way...
One of the Greatest Bands Ever Worldwide❤& One of the Greatest Everlasting Songs Graced Upon Us❤🎵🎶🎼. Love, Love, Love Crowded House & Neil Finn whose is one of the Greatest Song Writer Ever!!! & Their Whole Catalogue of Gems & Records!! They are Fabulous Legends with Countless Hits!! #Lovethis. Check out their Catalogue as You'll Love it❤. Love You Paul Hester > One of the Greatest Drummer Ever & #NeverForgotten❤
This song was in heavy rotation when I was starting second grade, fall 1987. Our Adult contemporary station at the time: KQMQ radio, would play this nearly every morning as I was getting ready for school, but I never got tired of hearing it.
Crowded House had a few truly top notch songs- this, Better Be Home Soon, Private Universe (my personal favourite), Weather With You, Something So Strong, World Where You Live, and Four Seasons in One Day. To name but a few.
They were just solid.
“Fall at your feet” I loved that, too.
The drummer hang himself due to depression they had a farewell tour in Sydney & this song went on for 10 minutes & the crowd of thousands joined in unbelievable.
And not long before that he had a solo career he was starting. A good singer. There are 2 of his songs on CZcams. Happyland (performed in front of an audience) and Pain (which is a music video). His name was Paul Hester.
I've always loved this song. I hear it in the cafeteria at work from time to time.
I remember this song being in the movie (Stephen King) The Stand..it played when they were dragging out the record player to listen to records..always loved this song!
Now its the covid 19 anthem
Yes, that was a great scene with Molly Ringwald & Corin Nemec
As soon as the first measure plays, I'm back to being 16 again. This was one of the biggest songs of that time. Such a great song.
‘They come, they come, to build a wall between us. You know they won’t win’ Topical
I was a junior in college when this song came out. I have always loved it since then. 🙂
As a New Zealander, I'm proud my little country gave the world the Finn brothers. Other great CH songs to check include "Weather with You", "Four Seasons in one Day" and "Pineapple Head". Crowded House grew out of Neil and Tim Finn's older band, Split Enz, which had some great songs too (try "Message to My Girl").
And their songs have zillions of views on CZcams. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen!!
Their harmonies and musical compositions are wonderful. Try “Private Universe” by them too. Just beautiful.
Yeah, 1986
I was a Sophomore in HS. Sweet 16 (almost 17)
Like I've said...Mom let me drive home from grocery shopping and I heard this song and lost it. That's how my folks knew I was sincere about something, couldn't hide the tears when something touches me.
I ran inside and called the radio station in Knoxville (which back then was a toll call cause it was long distance! and you had to pay extra even though it was 50 miles away).
Oh man...what a magic time. Wished kids today knew that kind of time.
We wore our best clothes to school. Took pride in our appearance. But we weren't patsys...we had walk outs and "stand ins". We even started the whole "meet at the flag pole" for morning prayer because they 80s started kicking in that whole church/state stuff.
Man...I don't remember much of the school lessons, but we got an education nonetheless. =D Thanks Ty!
Ya know, they did a song called fall at your feet which is quite beautiful. Also weather with you and distant sun
Ty, Neil Finn is the lead singer, a kiwi with a hell of a story telling vibe, the Aussies included, Nick Seymour on bass, a very talented drummer Paul Hester who was on the ironing board in the clip. He was lost to depression when he took his own life.
My first time hearing this song was back in 1980's on an episode of Miami Vice when Don Johnson's real wife Melanie Griffith appeared on an episode n they played it at the end of the show. Great song!!! Luv It.
Miami Vice had several different Aussie bands and songs in their shows.Always a good tv show.
No not that episode, that simply RED
I remember my dad sharing this song with me...he was a truck driver. I had already heard it 🤣 we still love it!
For me . . . this would be one of the best songs ever, "even if there were NO lyrics!"
This song is so beautiful. I had the acoustic version done by Neil Finn played at my oldest son's funeral. The acoustic version with only Neil Finn and his guitar is more moving than the original. My oldest boy was very musical and loved Crowded House.
I love Crowded House. One of my favorite bands of all time. Neil Finn is an incredible songwriter. This and "Distant Sun" are my two favorites.
Mine too
Thank you!!! I asked for this one months ago. I was kinda bullied into using another version.
The lead singer reminds me of old pics of my Daddy.
When I first heard this song I cried like a baby, it just touched my heart.
was done already
@@melanieinnc8791 yeap, was the live version I think from their Farewell concert in AU. I requested this version but it came round eventually. =)
@@CynHatmaker looks like they boogered up the other version
@@melanieinnc8791 I'm not too big on live performances. I have to really really like them or I just can't get into it. One of the reasons we didn't go to a lot of concerts.
Wow, a blast from the past (1986). Forgot just how much I loved this. ( Reminds me of first time I heard it, I was 11 on a school trip - skiing trip to Italy for ten days. A few friends and I were waiting for the teachers and thought would go watch tv to kill time. We ended up watching MTV all day, eating food and drinking soda , whilst everyone else was in the snow outside on the slopes.... totally missed our first skiing lesson and got yelled at by teachers on the trip with us lol. Well worth it though, as discovered this band and few more too that day. Really good times.
Man, too many memories in this one. 1986, right? I was 23 years young- beautiful song !!!
15
I saw Crowded House in San Francisco in the 80s. They played basically all their songs and then had audience members request songs and get on stage to sing with the band. I saw a lot of great bands in the Bay Area in the 70s and 80s and that one night was maybe the best live show I ever saw. Their love of performance was electric.
I’d love to see you react to more Crowded House. So many great songs.
Great song it reminds me of all the insecurities I had starting highschool I'm only five ft tall had a Caribbean accent went to High School in South Central, LA boy was I nervous and trying to find my way.
Anita's Parker..... this song came out when I was a young mom and feeling a little melancholy....listening made me believe there was hope! "Hey now, Hey now don't dream it's over!"
😊 You found your way.
I've always loved this beautiful song! 💖💖💖
This song is one of my favorites. Growing up in the 80's was very difficult at home for me and I remember this song giving me hope. Some years later while confiding in a friend about those troubles, he found a copy for me and let me play it over and over, sitting in the dark just listening. This one will never get old
This is such a beautiful story (I don't mean to suggest it's made up). I can relate to difficult times at home in the 80's and I remember my parents playing this album in the car, what a wonderful friend to do that for you! So touching
"Don't Dream it's Over" came out late in 1986 and was one of the finest pop songs of the decade. Crowded House was spearheaded by Neil and Tim Finn and was formed after the split of their earlier band Split Enz. They followed this hit up with "Something So Strong," but were unable to keep their momentum going. Neil Finn has been very busy in the past year; he joined supergroup Fleetwood Mac and has spent the majority of 2019 touring with the band.
Tim wasn't in the band most of the time. think he joined them later for a short time, but it was Neil's band. Tim formed Split Enz in the 70s and Neil joined that band.
Hi mate, nice reaction video. This song came out in my last year of high school and has stayed in my heart every since. This is an Australian anthem, bringing back great memories for the entire Generation X. Keep up these great videos. God bless.
I remember when this video was in heavy rotation on MTV. A little while ago.
Crowded House once gave a free concert in a small square amongst office buildings in Manukau City, Auckland back in the early 90's. My mate heard the announcement on the radio so we raced there figuring it was a joke, but a few people had begun to gather and there was a stage set up. We got sat on a transformer box just meters from the stage. Sure enough,out they came and played a blinder of a concert. So many people squeezed into such a small area, but what an experience. Probably wouldn't be allowed to do such a thing these days.
That was the first of 3 different occasions I saw Crowded House,all in Auckland.
Such a phenomenal band.
Thanks for this reaction.
I remember my mom playing this song when I was younger. I was born in 99 and she was a early teen/preteen when this song came out. My most recent memory is last year I went to a music festival in Detroit and the band Vampire Weekend closed out their show by doing a cover of this song and I just cried sitting there with my girlfriend at the time just feeling total peace and bliss under the stars in the night sky.
Crowded House are such an under-rated band, especially when it comes to Neil Finn's lyrics:
"Can you imagine this/an itch to sensitive to scratch/the light that falls through a crack/an insect to delicate to catch" - fingers of love
It's just pure poetry.
This and better be home soon are my fav Crowded House songs.
Something so strong
And The Weather With You
Great songs but it's "When You Come" that I like.
Fall at your feet, is another good one!
Neil Finn, the lead singer was on tour with Fleetwood Mac when I saw them in concert this past Dec..he took over the spot left by Lindsey Buckingham leaving..Great Voice, he also did a great song with Split Enz called ''I got you'' my favorite by Crowded house is ''Something so Strong''
When im feeling down, unhappy & lose confidence in myself This song makes me feel like everything's going to be ok. All my worries & doubts disappear. 1 of the best songs in life ❤
TY always loved this song, so TY for your reaction to it..They were a great and popular band and provided us a huge catalogue of hits..They performed their last concert to a huge crowd at the Sydney Opera House which was televised live and I remember sitting with my wife and friends watching it and thinking what a great talented country we and New Zealand have and what both have given to the world, as Neil Finn the lead singer is a Kiwi and Paul Hester on drums (Sadly now gone..RIP) and Nick Seymour Bass both Aussies.... Keep Well Keep Strong My Friend
The good old 80s 😁 I like this song but did not know who sang it 🤔 takes me back to different places and people...Reminds me of staying with my sister and sitting out on her lawn sipping ice tea with a slice of lemon 😊 another time hanging out with friends 😁 nice comments and reaction Ty 😁 did you say playlist? 😱 AWESOME! 🤗
The Finn brothers. Fantastic songwriters. Check out their early 80s band Split Enz. Songs like, "I Got You", "Message to my Girl", Six Months in a Leaky Boat", etc. Really good stuff.
The Song’s Legacy
Don’t Dream It’s Over resonates to this day. And Stars from Miley Cyrus and Ariana Grande to Chris Martin and Eddie Vedder continue to reinterpret and breathe life into this timeless 80’s hit. Neil Finn, Crowded House Ambassador, wrote Don’t Dream It’s Over. The band released the track in the fall of 1986. It was Crowded House’s biggest international hit, charting at number 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in the US by the spring of 1987.
You reviewed the live version of this song. Glad you did. Sometimes live and the studio are not the same. Only the greats can make the live better than the studio. If you get a chance Sarah McGlockton fear. Just lost mother. Last week. 9-10 years ago she had surgery. It made think of losing her. Now it makes me think of her telling me I've done all I could. Remember me.
The live version is amazing. Also het song Possession is amazing
This is a song that I catch on the radio from time to time, and if I’m having a bad day, at least I can say don’t dream it’s over was on the radio. I recently found on of their cds on clearance at a used store, and have found myself to be a big fan of their other music as well.
Those opening bars...everyone from Australia and New Zealand will just sigh and start singing. It’s in our collective DNA.
This is often enough a song I listen to to pass the time while I'm on the streets.
Thanks Modern Renaissance Man for your review of crowded house dont dream its over song a great song brings back memories of the 80's :) 80's music lover forever :)
15 years old when this first came out.
Crowded House - one of the big bands in my teens here in Australia.
First concert I ever went to was one of theirs. My eldest sister took me for my birthday, 3 hours in the car to get there... Slept in the car before we went home next morning.... Good memories.
All time favorite. Great song!
My sister got this album (cassette) when it first came out in 1986 (I was eight), and I immediately fell in love with it, especially this song. It was played constantly over FM radio here in Canada, and rightfully so, it had a smooth melody, easy to take vocals, and yes, a great meaning. The whole album is great, as with their subsequent albums. Truly a great group from Australia!
If you'd like to check another fantastic Crowded House song, Private Universe has a very unique, haunting sound, or Fingers Of Love (from the same album Together Alone).
Great song 👏🏻🎤💖‼️ Great reaction 👍🏻 💖‼️. Don’t remember what I was doing or where I was the first time I heard this song.
86, would be first full year I was in the Navy after boot camp. Away from home the first time, listening to music every chance I got.
Beautifully rendered song. Love the guitars and message. Lovely for a slow dance.
One of the best songs ever written...
Neil said in an interview he wrote this song one day at home because people came over and he just wanted to be alone with his wife but he had to socialize and this song came to him in his state of slight melancholy. I always thought that was interesting because the lyrics are so amazing for having such a simple start.
Crowded House were massive from 1985 til about 1996 in Australia. Neil Finn is the lead vocals and they were definitely great to chill to
One of my favorite songs I can’t sleep without it playing
This song reminds me so much of the time it came out. I had just graduated high school. That big transition. The city I grew up in is small town. So, it was a big change coming up. Everyone going their separate ways, out to find our next adventure. U don’t hear from ppl that you knew for most of your life. But, how did we know that there would a social media, a Facebook, Twitter, etc that would give us the ability to reconnect with our dear friends. This song will always be my playlist & sometimes on repeat.
This song has been my #1 favorite since the day it was released and it will always be my #1
I love this group. IMHO they are Perhaps the best to come from down under. Thanks so much for reacting to It.
One of the greats ... it never fails to move me. Btw I love your channel.
Now this song was one of my favorites!! Listen to that sound...I miss the 80s and 90s music..it reminds me of being young and I'm still with my good friends...some have left us way to young...I know they're listening every time I hear it...miss them up there in Heaven!! Great reaction video...❤
What I read about was Tim Finn was living in a shared house and others in the house wouldn't leave him alone to write his songs so he wanted to build a wall between them. The song also has other ramifications about what was going on at the time many years ago.
I don't remember that stupid video but I've always loved this song. Nostalgic feel to it even back in the 80s.
Ercilia Hannah I The video made a lot more sense to the NZ audience as it sort of showed glimpses of life in NZ in the 70’s, especially the style of the houses and the gaudy decor we all used to have.
One of my all-time favorites. It was during a time when I did A LOT of driving back and forth to gigs.
Another track that's in the same genre, same year is "No Promises" by Icehouse; the studio version is a piece of art.
Great song from the 80’s. It’s on my playlist!
I love this song so much! It brings me right to the 80s when I was a teenager and dealing with all the ups and downs of that. It is my favorite song from that time! I always turn up the volume full blast and sing at the top of my lungs when its on :)
Really enjoy watching your channel.
So nice when people discover a tune that makes them feel good. I'm not a religious man, but like listening to your comments and thoughts.. keep it up..makes me happy..
I met a girl from Australia in Canada many moons ago and when she went home she sent me this crowded house song live on cassette before I had even heard of it. I wonder what ever happened to her. Sigh.
If she sent you this on a cassette she probably still thinks of you too
The Meaning of Don’t Dream It’s Over
Neil discusses the double entendre meaning of Don’t Dream It’s Over. While the song has a blissful melancholy, it encourages us to stand by our dreams and to stand by each other. Too often, to this very day, we are divided by walls or the imaginary concerns of the world.
A Cutting-Edge Music Video
The music video for Don’t Dream It’s Over was cutting edge at the time. The tour through the house was surreal. And words scrawled across the bottom of the film added new layers of meaning. Not to mention the abstract objects floating through the air and smashing on the screen. The music video captured the inner workings of our distracted minds.
Neil Finn is now a member of Fleetwood Mac. He plays this song solo with Stevie Nicks joining him for the last verse. He always introduces it as 'a song for unity.'
First seen on Countdown. :)
I lurrrrve this song. Beautiful words. A true classic.
I remember when this song was released on various media so that people could purchase copies of it to listen to on their home playback devices.
One of the greatest songs ever!
It's a very melancholy song, love Crowded House. I grew up with them.
Blessings upon you my brother!
This reminds me of the few summers we lived in a small Lake town in Louisiana. I was a kid, but old enough to ride my bike to the beach with my friends to swim and walk the boardwalk. Good times. 💜
So beautiful. God bless you and your loved ones in these difficult times. Stay safe from the UK x
Beautiful Song, makes me feel that there is always hope.
Incredible song. I never tire of it…
Crowded House was actually my favorite Band of the 90's! I was 14 or 15 when this song was popular! It instantly brought back memories of watching MTV and being so excited when your favorite video came on. I kind of miss those days! This band is from Austrailia and is actually very popular still to this very day due to the fact that in the very early to mid 80's the singer was in another huge Australian band with his brother called Split Enz.
I remember when this song came out in 1986. I always associate that year to Ralph Sampson's miracle shot to propel the Houston Rockets past the Lakers to reach the NBA Finals. Love the video, very creative.
The lead singer is Tim Finn. Originally they were called Split Enz before disbanding and becoming Crowded House. Please review Tim Finns - Made my day
One of mine and hubby's favorite songs to dance to.
This is one of my all time favourite songs
Great video brother I saw ur 5 string bass in background never knew you could get a 5 string bass I thought only 4 and 6 string but 5 would be interesting to play. Thanks again for your videos love from australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Paul McCartney upon receiving an award said Neil Finn was his inspiration-high praise indeed.Now the bingo ball needs to pull out the genesis of Crowded House - Split Enz.(mid 70s) that's the real start of this song.
This song makes me tear up every time I hear it. Reminds me of the love of my life.
I know exactly how you feel. I have just now cried while hearing this song . I had a dear friend, "Tracy", who gave me an original 45rpm of this song, with the jacket. years later I was shocked to learn that she was killed by automobile back in 1997, in New Jersey.Miss you dear friend.
@@japola5 I'm so sorry.
I think you're absolutely correct in your analysis of this song.
It definitely could have a Reggae vibe to it. Great catch.
The lead singer is from split endz .... Love this group!!! Love this song!!!
I was just coming in to comment on that. I love Split Enz.
Fantastic song! Another great one from them is "Better be home soon"
On an 80’s roll, & I’ll take it any damn day. I love this song, was just really good. Good lyrics, good choice.
Tim Finn sings with Fleetwood Mac. A great singer and song writer.
We can see a classic scene with this song, on the TV show "Miami Vice" in the 1980's, (in last scene of the episode: 'Rock and a Hard Place')
This used to play at the skating rink in the 1980’s. Good times.^^
Neil is one of two artists I would choose if I could only listen to one artist for the rest of my life. He is just that good. I love everything he has done.
The other, for those who wonder, is Brian Setzer.
