This song makes me cry sometimes. I think it's the nostalgia, partly, but probably also has some old homesickness memories attached to it. I remember a road trip with my dad and my sister and I were missing our mom horribly and we were so young. I'm pretty sure we both started crying in the backseat because this song was playing and it made us miss our mom. But my dad would have this song playing regularly on one of his burned CDs while we were driving around in his truck too. This and "Doctor, Doctor" are my favorites. I'm 26 now and I'm grateful that I was exposed to such great music at a young age, and I'm still discovering more.

80's music was the best! The songs were our escapism, our time to just have fun. Some songs didn't have to have lyrics that made sense if the music was fun to dance to we didn't care. Also, most of the singers were adults so we had mature vocalists to listen to.

[@rebelheartcr8599]

If I'm not mistaken the lead singer, Tom Bailey, wrote this song after an argument he had with Alannah Currie, the female band member who plays the percussions and the marimba. They were a couple. They later got married and in the late 80s/early 90s they moved to New Zealand, where Alannah is originally from. However, in the early 2000's they got divorced. This band has many other great songs and what I think it's really interesting in their sound is the instruments they incorporate such as the marimba, certain types of percussions accompanying the typical 80's pop/new wave sound.

[@3DJapan]

I have a fun memory of buying this album on tape at the Salvation Army for 50 cents back in the late 90s.

"Doctor Doctor" is also really good. Please do more Crowded House (but be sure to do the studio versions because much of what's on here live is just Neil Finn and you need to hear their beautiful harmonies. "Fall At Your Feet", "Better Be Home Soon", "World Where You Live."
