Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over (Official Video) REACTION

[@Mark-zu6oz]

Crowded House had so many good songs. Neil Finn is a genius.

[@neatdesign]

Yes x 1000!

[@invisiblek5783]

My favorite musician of all time.

[@Fitzroyfallz]

I saw him live (he was with Fleetwood Mac) and they did a couple of his songs. Everyone sang along and lit up their phones when they played this, it was magical.

[@Mark-zu6oz]

@@Fitzroyfallz I saw him with FM too. Saw Crowded House several years ago. Neil was CH. And he had such incredible energy. "Together Alone" has to one of the finest albums ever.

[@2Treesandahorse]

I caught their Enzo performance years ago. Awesome.

[@loriwishman1866]

This song is so haunting. Timeless and heartfelt. One of my all-time favorites. Thanks.

[@davidpalmer7175]

A good friend and mentor of mine, who's gone now... this was his favorite song. I will always think of him when I hear this.

[@pammym190]

I love this song.. and another one they did called “something so strong” ... 👍😃✌️

[@gerhardbraatz6305]

Me too, absolutely love it.

[@SpectreNUT]

I actually prefer Something So Strong to Don't Dream It's Over though both songs are amazing

[@pammym190]

SpectreNUT I totally agree with u!!😃👍✌️

[@sunilayya8948]

I love that too.

[@Awall79]

Neil said he wrote this in a afternoon. Some people had come over to his and his wife's house to hang out and he was just in one of those moods where he wanted to be alone...so he left them in one room and went into another by himself....and this song flowed out of nowhere. He's so fantastic.

[@vernathompson261]

I was 11 in 1980. I was blessed to be a teenager during that era. And you are so right. No other music can touch the 80s. 💜💜💜💜

[@kiwigirljacks]

Absolutely!! 🙌

[@archaicamusement3871]

Amazing song!

[@rickperry3165]

I remember the 80s pretty well my friend. It was my childhood but it was a reality. Things were different, calmer and more fun. The world seemed so relaxed and people weren't so displeased with everything. We actually didn't survive by keeping our phones in our pockets, we wrote letters and had pen pals. We walked miles to go see friends and stayed out till the sun went completely down. Neighbors got along in most neighborhoods and we even had occasional neighborhood parties. I think about the 80s often. I'm blessed I was a part of it.

[@gc4644]

I agree. I feel The 70s & 80s were the best 2 decades for music and fun (and i was born in 62).

I’d like to recommend “No One is to Blame” by Howard Jones. Or “Synchronicity II” by The Police. The lyrics in these two are outstanding.

[@CharCanuck14]

Ditto on the Howard Jones tune!

[@jasonwilliams6005]

Excellent Howard Jones song!! A definite to listen to. The great Phil Collins on the drums and backup vocals for that one too.

My life as a child was dark. Music was the only thing that got me through. It took me away & allowed me to dream. I grew up on this music. And you remember the feeling too. Your reactions are Great.

[@MrDiddyDee]

A beautiful song, one of my all time favourites. Always loved that instrumental break, so concise and perfect. Crowded House were a great live band, and the inter- band banter and the wonderful rapport with their audience was always great fun. It was so sad when the original drummer, Paul Hester, committed suicide in 2005, he was always clowning about on stage, but it clearly masked a recurring depression. I wish he could have taken this song to his heart, and not let his demons win.

[@emanonfox1709]

So happy to see this! Neil Finn is in the "genius" category along with very few others. Try "Fall at Your Feet" next maybe, by Crowded House!

[@irenedownie6559]

Oh James, I adore this song!!! So glad you’re reacting to it. ❤️ Check out more of their music - they’re fantastic!!! Neil Finn, the singer, wrote this.❤️ Could you react to Fall at Your Feet? I think because you have a tender heart, you would love it.

Neil Finn is, in my opinion, the greatest lyricists ever in our modern age.

I saw their (1st) Farewell to the World concert at the Opera House and it was utterly amazing. For those of you interested, it's on youtube - search for 'crowded house farewell to the world'. They played this song as the closer, and it absolutely brought the house down.

Love Crowded House since the very beginning, so many great songs man.... "Don't Dream It's Over" i distinctly remember the first time i heard it (either late '86 or early '87), it was actually a week before it entered the Portuguese Top 20, it was on the "Countdown" US music TV show, hosted by Adam Curry that was broadcasted over here, they performed it live on that show, just after the record came out. The next week it entered the Portuguese Top 20, and i saw the video clip too then ... 😄 Bought the single a couple of days after that, still have it. "Something So Strong" from the same album followed shortly there after.... 😉

They have a really beautiful song called Better be home soon. Please take a listen. I am really enjoying your reactions to some of my favourite artists and of course you are right the music was amazing in the 80’s. I’ve seen many of the bands live back then. REM, U2 Tracey Chapman, The Cure, The Smiths the list goes on. Great memories

I am a child of the 80s and I have to agree! SO much good music in ALL genres - pop, r&b, rock, country, soul - everything. And it was pre-Internet, which was also AMAZING. People actually talked to each other and weren't taking 10,000 pictures of themselves. Try "Luka" by Suzanne Vega from 1987.
