Imagine being able to sit down at a piano and come up with this....the guy is a genius and this song is a masterpiece. What a bloody great band these guys are too. As an Aussie kid growing up in NZ, I am so glad to have been a teenager in the mid 80's listening to their music

Yes. They're quite different from each other - different personalities, songwriting styles, and goals. I think they were both head-strong and Neil had his own different musical life to live. Split Enz split :( ... and Crowded House was born :) .

The self-awareness and emotional profession (and confession) is stunning. Omg a young 20-something (was he 23?) coming to that realization and making that commitment? "It's no New Year's resolution... it's more than that"? Who else but Neil would be that unique and rare?

Great music is timeless. Nothing over the last 10 to 20 years, or very little I should say, is timeless. But 50 years and now people will still be listening to this and the Beatles and Led Zeppelin and all of the great music from the 60s through the early 90s. Another way you can tell great music is when years later the artist can do a completely different arrangement the way they did with this song and it’s even better than the original. More poignant more emotional.
