Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House [ Live ! 1987 ]

Don't Dream It's Over - Crowded House [ LYRICS ]
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 TV 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, hey now)

No auto tune. Nothing but talent.

[@ryank1191]

I was only 7 years old in 1987 but I remember hearing these kinds of songs in the supermarket shopping with mom, driving around in the family station wagon, or on MTV. A great time and great memories.

[@tucsonlivestream3203]

Wow. Had not seen this performance. He sang it beautifully - better than the recording. So talented.

[@tatesmobilewashandinstalla7025]

I was just born when this came out so I can remember these songs from when I’m as just a boy. I miss those days when life was simpler.

[@corruptedeviljack3657]

I just lost my father tonight… I lost my mother 2 years ago… I feel so alone.. so cheated that they were taken so unfairly and robbed of such a beautiful life… this song hits me so hard.. if you are going through it right now… just know that you are not alone❤️ truly

Nobody talks about what an incredible singer Neil Finn was/is.

[@leon15776]

The year I arrived in Aussie 87 .Great band classic song

[@marine4lyfe85]

Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof, My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof...always loved that line.

[@mostcom]

I am glad you posted these lyrics because for over thirty years I thought they were, "papa says she's a problem with suspicion but there's no proof."

[@khosikhosi8932]

1 comment really? an exeptional song,classic,brings memories which never happened.

[@4thamendment237]

This is a beautiful, haunting song. Neil Finn did an act of creative genius with this. The lyrics are just ambiguous enough not to make sense across an entire verse, but each phrase holds its own meaning which touches something universal in people. I heard an interview with Neil Finn talking about the lyrics and he said that even the title holds two meanings, as in "Don't Dream It's Over" vs. "Don't Dream, It's Over." Simply Inserting that one comma changes the meaning entirely.

[@josephreinhart8712]

A mesage for our times, when so many young people wants change for the sake of change, not completely thinking it through.

[@jmp1262]

Yes, but adding the comma is inconsistent with the hopeful message of the other lyrics. Ie road is never over, won't let them build a wall, can't let them win.

Great live vocal, I love how he changes the phrasing and pitch slightly on this

[@michaell8002]

Cómo me encanta ésta canción, la escuchaba mucho en mi adolescencia 😭❤️

[@suzianthony4928]

Ok more than 1 comment. This song is brilliance 💖

[@josephreinhart8712]

A deeply lovely song. I always thought he sang, "Hey now, hey now...in a world gone carzy!" and that was good mis-heard lyrics. In my cover band, we sang it world gone crazy.

[@sergiofonseca2830]

Sensacional essa música!!!

Andrew Garfield would be a great Neil Finn if they ever made a movie about these guys

[@arthursteven5601]

He's a great actor 👏

[@napoleonaleckzander]

Is the backing vocals lip synced?

[@AshaRenWooly]

Deluge in a paper cup ???

[@jmp1262]

The overwhelm of freedom.

[@viktorkrum5954]

Dont dream its over me arrupiu

[@GK-gc9cv]

So I'm 100% convinced his singing is live, sounds nothing like record. But suspicious the instrumentals sounds exactly like record, I don't think they were playing any instruments

[@marine4lyfe85]

He's singing live, flawlessly, but had to mime the instruments. That's why he gives that look when he "plays" the piano during the organ part.

[@JOVONO]

That’s most tv performances on music shows They either have the singer sing live and the instruments are mimed or everyone including the singer mimes so they can advertise the actual recording

[@johneddys2351]

Playing to a backing track is nothing new.

[@celinebeurle7915]

its not your song.

[@arthursteven5601]

How sad the drummer died so young ....makes it a very poignant video

[@dayjo325]

HATE when artists change the song’s cadence from the original.

[@WdawgSmith]

I really wish one hit wonders would just sing the song similarly to how it sounds on the album That pause during the chorus “don’t dream………………………….. it’s over” Isn’t doing it for me Completely ruins it Stick to what got you here guys
