This song was played at my husband's funeral. He passed unexpectedly on April 12, 2019. We were married 20 years, and anytime this song would come on if he was at work, he would call me and let it play on my voicemail, or if we were home and I was in another room, he would turn the volume up loud so I knew it was playing. 💔/💗 Excellent reaction. And perfect timing for me.

We all just sat in silence watching the rain upon the windshield. It was an oddly magical and dreamy moment. 😊

I can quite honestly say that I know the childhood home of Neil Finn (the lead singer of Crowded House) and his brother Tim Finn (another famous singer, and lead of Split Enz). The reason, I live in their home town, Te Awamutu, New Zealand.

[@andlehay3973]

The structure of the song, by the way, is what is creating that feeling of longing, or nostalgia. That's what good music does, IMO, and this is a wonderfully written song.

[@nonplayerzealot4]

This was one of those tunes that was impossible to dislike no matter what genre/s you were into.

[@SteveMenardDesignDXM]

The core of this group was the Finn brothers (Neil and Tim), and they were in a band before that was a pretty popular new wave band (Split Enz). I remember how refreshing their sound was when this came out, as it was one of the earlier 80s pop songs that was more folk-influenced and got back to using real drums and guitars. They had two more albums that came out after this one that were quite successful. Great songs of theirs are : "Something So Strong", "Better Be Home Soon", "Chocolate Cake", and "Weather With You". You should check them out!

[@BlackieNuff]

So, Split Enz have a personnel (member) connection with Crowded House and/or they are essentially the evolution of the "same" band (the core at least)? Interesting trivia! I did not know this but it explains why they sound so similar.

[@bopep1368]

and then Neils current gig-Fleetwood Mac

[@JackH675]

The band was formed by Neil Finn, Paul Hester and Nick Seymour. Finn and Hester were in Split Enz at the time they split in 1984. They then recruited Seymour to create the trio that was Crowded House. Tim Finn didn’t join until the 90’s

[@barryevans791]

If I remember this right, this song was the last one they released before the band split up. I was 6 at the time this was released and I remember them playing on a childrens tv show on a Saturday morning, they had a little interview before hand.

There's a version of this song played live on their farewell tour, maybe their last show, i believe it's in Australia.

But i think you would really like that one

Great song. This song reminds me of Wellington, New Zealand (Mid 80's), because I was living there when it came out. I was dating my wife back then. Anyway, the lyrics say "In the paper today, tales of war and waste, but you turn right over to the TV page". New Zealand is far away from the rest of the world, so they didn't bother back then to even keep up with all the negative B.S. going on around the world, just what's on the tele tonight. This band is from Australia, so they were very popular in New Zealand. Reminds me of sweet fresh air, living on an island in the middle of nowhere. Loved the review guys. Thanks.😊

Spaghetti wood, laugh. Perfect. This song was so popular in the 80s, it was on the radio all the time and MTV and played in the clubs and House Parties. Surely it's been in TV shows and movies. It's that whole 80s pop thing and it reminds me of bands like Madness, soft so, the Eurythmics, Flock of Seagulls, Boy George, on and on. I didn't particularly like that genre at the time because I was into what I thought was more interesting stuff, but it was part of the fabric of my life because you heard it everywhere and many of my friends or into it.

It feels like a hug or a w3ark blanket. That is so spot on. thats what this song does, it warps you up in a warm feeling. so beautifully written lyrics and melodies. Neil Finn was in a band (Split Enz) with his brother Tim before Crowded House and their songs are worth a look as well.

This song was used in the TV show "Grandfathered", staring John Stamos, I believe it was 2016, where John and his Ex danced to this song at his restaurant. ALOHA!!!

this is a song off one of Stephen Kings movies. Crowded House had a string of world wide hits in the 1980s/90s. The band name came about when they moved to USA, near broke they moved into the same house with all their families, hence the name Crowded House.

I love Lex's similes about Grandma's house and how comfy it made her!

Wow guys I'm so stoked to hear a fellow Kiwi on your channel, Neil Finn is one of our finest and even tours with Fleetwood Mac filling in for Lindsay Buckingham!

Crowded House played this song on their farewell to the world tour in 1996 on the steps of the Sydney Opera House to a crowd estimated between 100,000 - 250,000 (check out the live version from this concert) Neil Finn has also sung it with Stevie Nicks in Fleetwood Mac's latest tour. Mick Fleetwood sought out Neil to replaced Lindsay Buckingham in 2019.

This song is another hugely popular 80s hit that still gets a lot of airplay up to today. Weddings, the grocery store, tv shows - there are countless places where you guys could have heard it

Lovely song in the 80s was everywere Lin the world you travel listening

[@thetek2006]

So many superb songs by Crowded House which others have pointed towards, this being one of their better known ones. They probably would have made a ton more if they hadn't split up at the height of their powers in the mid 1990s. Also take a look at the band Split Enz which was the precursor to Crowded House in the late 1970s-early 80s, the memorable track "I Got You" being one of my favourite tunes of the decade.

Forgot how much I love this song!

[@georgeralph8031]

Possibly the most mellifluous song ever recorded. IMHO.

That Lex smile though, said it all...shout out to New Zealand & Australia.

Btw, I recall this song being used (this version, the original) in a commercial for some financial corp like Prudential or something of that nature. The content was about making your finances right for your fam's future, stgh like that, and this is a wistful song so it sorta worked. Maybe within the last few years the ad was on telly a lot, but I do recall it on a commercial, defo. I am willing to bet Brad/Lex heard it from that same ad, but all 3 of us forgot the company using it. However, it was a very popular song that still gets radio play on 80s chans a lot, so it's probable they heard it before w/o knowing the band or title.

I love this song and the memories it brings. And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart... the best is the performance at the Opera House. So emotional.

[@Bmphotog]

One of the 80s best here

[@idahoandude3284]

There are very few songs that I would consider to be absolutely perfect. This is one of them.
