Finn Brothers - Edible Flowers - (3/8)

[@KimProust]

This one makes my cry each time I hear it... Beautiful song and very close to my heart❤

[@paulbarrett7797]

There is no one that comes close to the talent that these guys have.

[@Bloomers1969]

Breathtaking song. The perfect combination of Neil Finn's sweetness and Tim Finn's edginess, Neil's melodies and Tim's discord, Neil's ability to capture the perfect tune and Tim's eccentricity in nearly avoiding it. The two of them working perfectly together. And those harmonies...!

[@kev10ok]

Don't think he really means discord, maybe a little reluctance to sing such an emotional piece maybe?

[@Phangmaster]

everyone thinks that but actually it's Neil that's often the most edgy of the two, according to Tim.

[@Bloomers1969]

No, I meant what I said. There's discord. But there's nothing wrong with discord, it's a perfectly valid musical skill to master. musicterms.artopium.com/d/Discord.htm

[@Bloomers1969]

@@Phangmaster that's interesting. I'm perfectly happy to defer to Tim's (obviously better) knowledge of these things, but I guess for me, Tim always sounds musically more edgy, and Neil sounds a little more melodic. Tim would have been John, Neil Paul, if you don't mind the tired comparison. Nice to know Tim's take on it though, I guess he'll certainly have a deeper understanding.

[@graham3550]

I've seen Crowded House a few times but never with Tim in the line up. Seeing The Finn Brothers sing this live was one of the greatest musical moments of my life. There is something very special about these two

[@danyul73]

This song tears me apart as it's release coincides with my parents passing. When I hear "Everybody wants the same thing....to see another birthday"....damn. But a wonderful song none the less.

[@shadeydude6678]

I first heard this on WXPN, in Philly, I ran out that night, and bought the album…. 17 years later, Everyone Is Here, is still one of my most beloved & heavily played albums in my playlist… With Edible Flowers, still as beautiful as ever… I love it !!!!

[@martinlouden9005]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written!

[@scneese64]

There is nothing better than listening to these brothers harmonies....have admired them since the 70's!!

[@mikemaxwell9805]

Arguably my favourite Finn song. Stunningly beautiful

[@nicholasjohnson4124]

Same here.

[@slugslayer8332]

One of the greatest songs ever written !

[@AdAstraCan]

Tim's range really comes through on this: singing low then singing harmony above Neil. Impressive!

[@kerrylundy2949]

edible flowers ..beautiful track and I remember singing it lots of times with the love of my life and doing the harmonies together. I've also heard Crowded House live and went to the final concert tour of Split Enz at James Hay theatre in Çhçh way back when Crowded House were an incredible band and the Finn brothers in my view are the best song writers and produced some of the biggest selling albumns in nz music history

[@YARROWS9]

You have the full package there.Musicianship,Voices,Songwriting and Personality.

[@murray1961]

I listened to this song for years and year’s, my all time favourite. I put on repeat 🔁 for hours and hours. Neil and Tim are amazing together wish they would do more.

[@kimgeisler1964]

I have been listening to them since 1980 , as the split enz then they broke apart and Neil formed crowded house and Tim did a few solo albums as well then they did albums as the Finn brothers , we have grown up together ,love love love them still ! so talented.

[@glennparsons5942]

Damn. I love this song. Can't get enough of the Finns!!!

[@oscarcvel562]

Specifically this live versions of all songs of everyone is here are delightful, hope someday release album for enjoy this beautiful music.

[@simonsmith5625]

Stunning musicality and vocals

[@Witchgreeneyes13]

My favourite Finn Brothers track - just brilliant.

[@paulbarrett7797]

Every performance is PERFECTION.

[@Apodimi1]

Great performance !!! Nothing beats the two brothers performing together!!! What a lovely live show !! Little in pop music today can compete...these guys can write pop songs like those of bygone days!!!! I wonder if you hooked up the Finn Bros with McCartney what would come of it??? Lock them up in a studio for a week and they will come up with songs we'll be singing for years.. A million thanks my friend for uploading these songs for us......cheers.

[@Gazza72]

I love this song Pure talent

[@MyMiffy1]

This is perfection, been coming here for so many years 😍

[@pattichapinschneidermaluze3247]

When i was traveling to Australia and NZ back in 1980, had a chance to see Split Enz, fell in love with them. Back in the states 3 months later, they were all over the air waves. Saw the Finns in many forms. Once again, i was so lucky to be working for Mitchell Froom productions in 1990 and who was one of the artists under contract? Well it was Crowded House.

[@julyoso]

Great melody...can't get out of my mind...really love the song!

[@MrDinny1234]

intro is beautiful

[@marksharmanmusic1]

Love this song and the album is fantastic

[@ddavanzo]

Stuck on a deserted island and had to choose 1 artist playlist...Crowded House/Spliy Enz/Finn Brothers

[@wendyjesse52]

So beautiful, so true, so sad.

[@lightlyone]

Yes, they are so good together. Great series of posts... good video and audio. Such a super album, heartfelt to the max.

[@mitchkelly9441]

Love these guys , always have always will.

[@slambo70]

Songs just don't get any better than this...

[@eduardom.ferreira2767]

Stunningly beautiful sad song!

[@kev10ok]

Makes me so emotional but I just have to listen to this beautiful track 😪💙❤

[@AnnieWinter148]

One of their best songs

[@tankhalffull]

Just an amazing performance of an amazing song...

[@loveuabundle]

oh my gosh this is so beautiful

[@slambo70]

Well, this is a work of art, simple as that.....

[@daxio1485]

The music is better than ever boys, recent stuff too ..

[@sharonwilliams9020]

Love it - so much emotion. And as a writer/ song writer I know these guys are the best. Just amazing. Massive fan of all their work.

[@ajayjohnson6383]

Brings tears to the eyes the beauty of this song

[@markhedges1194]

Truly Beautiful!

[@McRoman88]

For me a long emotional thing. Thank you! Greetings from the Czech Republic

[@lisamorice4701]

Thanks Ty, I hadn't seen this version before. Just great! I'm a decades old Enz/ Finn/CH fan and see them whenever I can (it's been 12 months since the last opportunity). Life member of Frenz too.

[@Blackcomb1-h9e]

I remember seeing them live in concert in central London. Packed full concert. Brilliant they were too, despite the fact they were close to cancelling that tour due to their ex drummer Hester taking his life around the same time, Neil's best friend, very sad. Due to depression, an illness that needs to be treated.

[@brianohehir9515]

How good is this!!!

[@susanfraser6371]

Gorgeous. ❤️

[@mb72oz]

Thanks for posting this and all the other Finn-related material, it's really appreciated. :)

[@jameswold1434]

Neil finn’s raspy falsetto is my favorite sound. F

[@NeonTotemFractals]

One of my all time faves, intense.

[@chriswilkes5972]

Awesome, it's my fave song at mo, just worked chords out for guitar. Please do more albums together, love you.

[@joseph-ow1hf]

Brilliant lesson in song writing...starts out in this super dark minor key motif, then it lifts everything up in the chorus to a much more positive feel. I think might be shifting to the relative major. (limited music theory) Then it resolves back to the minor. The contrast makes it so great whatever you name.

[@Redawuk1]

Great genes and energy.

[@nazaholicable]

As good as it gets and then some.

[@anniescedarfarmcottages6690]

wow...

[@justplaingavin]

There is something about the Finns that when they play together the sum is greater then any of their, admittedly already massive parts...I think it's called synergy.

[@jimmycricket7385]

I am very emotion.

[@SecretAgentPaul]

You never give me your money. Never give me your money.

[@sonicfrogdotnet]

@Apodimi1 "I wonder if you hooked up the Finn Bros with McCartney what would come of it???" An Armageddon of musical brilliance!

[@MattHerrettMusic]

Fuck me. That's some songwriting talent right there.

[@mariannedryden55]

The song was written by Split Enz as a group

[@lindadote]

@ Jimmy Hayes.....It is you who are mistaken here. This song was written when the boys were performing as Split Enz. However, it was not released until much later. How can one "Cover" their own material for heaven's sake? With all your rambling, it is you who are "creeping" me out!

[@erikhertzer8434]

Linda Jones correct...writing credits go to all the Enz boys including Noel, Eddie and Nigel

[@whitesebi]

That's Noel Gallagher's drummer!

[@jimmyhayes260]

Look is even not their song! They covered! This song it belongs on album "Play It Straight" and that album is not Finn Brothers' album! And they singing like their own song! Creep! And Neil Finn afraid to sing he makes his brother sing in case dangerous Eddie Rayner wouldn't come and wouldn't kill them with his creepy wrinkles! Something smells really creepy around there! Creepy crickets!

[@kevinbudd8149]

Jimmy Hayes how can it be a cover? they wrote it!!

[@paulbarrett7797]

+Jimmy Hayes Are you a half wit ??????????????

[@ilyazab]

Eddie is not the author of this song, he rearranged it to the album "Play It Straight" Authors are Neil and Tim, they wrote this song at Split Enz era. Look at credits for "Play It Straight": Written-By - Bic Runga (tracks: 12), Brian Baker (5) (tracks: 3, 4, 7, 9), Chris Knox (tracks: 10), Corben Simpson (tracks: 8), Eddie Rayner (tracks: 3, 9, 13), Phil Judd (tracks: 6, 11), Split Enz (tracks: 2), Ted Chapman (tracks: 1) Track 2 is Edible Flowers.

[@runninglikewind]

Jimmy Hayes what you been drinking mate?

[@rhythmace1]

What the hell is wrong with you? Artists play covers all the time, it's perfectly acceptable and certainly isn't something to lose your shit over. And besides that you're not even right - it is their song. Maybe check your facts before going off on one in future? But better still, don't get all worked up about something totally normal and benign in the first place.
