Neil Finn (Crowded House) - Don't Dream It's Over (Acoustic Live)

[@cpodurnell3701]

No pro tools, no voice pitch box, just a man with a unique voice and a gift to capture a feeling of liberation and release.

[@see-rious-ley]

Thank you for summing up what were thinking of Neil 👍👍👍

[@TheHungryPigeon]

This very likely was mixed in pro tools. It’s just the industry standard for mixing.

[@jaredingram5124]

Hey now!! 🥺🤭

[@gordonsellar2560]

Keep it simple.He's a good singer and guitarist.people analyse too much nowadays everythings a big deal.

[@ktwashere5637]

Neil Finn is such a terrific singer. He doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for how sensational his voice is.

[@MrCooper-ti7ti]

Genius musician. 💯

[@jipangoo]

Yeah he does

[@user-wh7sn1qp4u]

I wish I had Neil Finn's talent. Great guitar player, fantastic vocalist and above all an outstanding songwriter. This performance is pure gold.

[@raythegrader6516]

Couldn’t agree more - I come back to this performance again & again. Sheer perfection ❤

[@yikesboy13]

One of the very best songs ever written. Period.

[@stoolpigeon4285]

damn right

[@amazed66]

One of the very best songs ever written. Full stop.

[@pygmychimp]

So true.

[@brandonwilson2732]

Absolutely incredible tune.

[@agusiaa591]

🙌👍✌️

[@thegoodsgone1965]

This song is so well-written, it's a masterclass of songwriting. Genius.

[@31Alden]

I thoroughly concur ..

[@carolcollins4878]

Im Australian, my husband was New Zealander, i miss him every day,

[@tonydiaz2541]

27 yrs and counting. No stupid outfits. No twerking. No 50 dancers on stage. No auto-tune. No lip syncing. Just an artist, his guitar and a timeless gem. I wonder... in 27 yrs, will people still be looking for the stuff that's out there right now?

[@marycampbell2751]

beautifully stated Tony -- this is the perfect fusion of talent, poetry and gorgeous music

[@MrJames0967]

Magic Tony, Neils voice is pure brilliance.

[@franzkafka77]

A pearl in a modern world of musical swine. Thanks Mr. Diaz. Well stated.

[@hategreed1]

Neil's songwriting and guitar playing are also brilliant.

[@billadams5778]

tony diaz So true. Great assessment. Never tire of this awesome talent

[@tmee1512]

One singer, one guitar...when you do it right, nothing else is needed.

[@kevincosgrove948]

True

[@vowelsounds6312]

And some electronics to add a drop of reverb to the vocal.

[@carlmarks8170]

Some microphones, speakers, a mixing desk and a power source also helps.

[@vincentvega53]

Amazing. Earlier today, I was at a really dark place. Now I'm crying tears of joy that I'm still alive and can listen to this beautiful piece of music. Thank you!

[@glennkamp4645]

Hang in there! ❤

[@glennhankins6927]

Music soothes the soul : )

[@ashleyfearon4121]

There aren’t enough superlatives to describe just how superb that performance was. Raw unadulterated talent at its peak. One man, sorry genius, and his guitar. If ever a melody raises the hair on the back of my neck it’s this. Utter bliss. Thank you Neil. x

[@fredfinks]

J. effing C. its just perfection. youre right, i cant express. i cant get over how awesome his talent is. this deserves the 1 billion + views that plenty of other subpar songs get

[@rubena4626]

Only certain song become timeless master pieces. This is ine of them. This song will never die.

[@billadams5778]

Purely and simply, Neil Finn is one of the best artists to ever privilege us with his music and voice. Profitez, mes amis

[@callmeace3112]

Torally agree .Writes sensible yet very emotional hits that remain classics and should rwmain classics forever and beats the shit out of endleass crap talent shows do8ng depressing karaokes and fuck all else!!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

[@ianreed7605]

Believe it or not it didn’t make top 10 in the uk and yet this would make a number one song in any decade for me. So much better than the utter rubbish we listen to nowadays.

[@Youaintseenmeright.......]

In the paper today, tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the tv page A simple line that speaks volumes.

[@Krekarts]

Beautiful song. I for one will never tire of listening to it.

[@Phoeagdor]

It can happen mate, had a 12 hour shift, listened to on repeat, got fed up. Everything can happen, so maybe, just maybe, we can get all world wankers other office, normies could develop a filter, pigs fly. Anyway fed up a this now, so there's hope for everything, no.

[@kennystraker]

@@Phoeagdor My comment was written 11 years ago. Still listen/watch that series of videos of this gig on a regular basis......... but not on repeat!

[@thesoultransferprotocol721]

This song was one of the best ever written. A simple MASTERPIECE.

[@MultiMrfalcon]

He took an amazing song and made it even a little better. Not an easy thing to do.

[@youetubee]

Song of my youth, beautiful and bittersweet at the same time. Brings back memories of longing and regret. But still beautiful.

[@OliverStacy18]

Neil finn could sing a nursery rhyme and it would still be magnificent

[@BuscaLoEsencial]

I'm a Little Teapot

[@epostflames9626]

He could write an awesome one as well

[@BossySwan]

Don’t build a wall between us (for Humpty to fall off)

[@jimmrson9530]

One song I won’t even attempt to cover sitting with my guitar. It’s perfect. I enjoy it with closed eyes and a grateful heart.

[@ELIJA40]

One of the best voices in rock that I have heard.

[@gary1bv]

Just an absolute genius! Amazing track stripped back to pure brilliance.

[@joeohhboy5384]

What a Frickin' talent. You just don't hear songs like that anymore

[@renevanzwieten96]

Still listening in 2020...'Don't Dream Its Over' is timeless poetry. 'There is freedom within, there is freedom without, try to catch the deluge in a papercup...' is simpel a sentence of pure genius. It shows the strong songwriters skills of Neil Finn.

[@carlmarks8170]

What does it mean though?

[@michaeldavies286]

one of the most underated songwriters of the last 30 years Neil Finn

[@mccormack9]

Masterpiece that will live on for centuries.

[@chubbycheeksrocks763]

Love this song; acoustic version is even better. Damn, such a great song.

[@beccullity]

"one of those days when i wondered what i did right"..... you lived neil, thats wat u did right mate. its an absolute pleasure to be another human bieng who lives at the same time as you and hears what u create.

[@wisegeorge1472]

@Bec Cullity. Hello friend 👋 Nice to meet you here. How are you doing today?

What a trio!! Crowded House, Aztec Camera and 10cc. singers. WOW!!

[@johnfarnborough6424]

From a programme called songwriters circle. All the shows were memorable, just a pity only a few were ever made.

[@vanizamer]

Magical version of a perfect song. Whenever life gets me down this melodic masterpiece will pick me up, for this song gets me dreaming and there is most certainly hope wherever there are dreams. Thanks for the music neil for without it the world would be a darker place. Don't ever let them win.

[@marklecuona8889]

I'm starting to think that people who thumb down a song like this are doing it because in fact it is so powerful and real that it reminds them of their own life and suffering... so it doesn't shelter them as it does so many of us...

[@ayanujer9615]

This. Song. Is. Absolutely. BEAUTIFUL!!😍😍😍😍

[@jamesevers7236]

Plus they are cunts.

[@glennkamp4645]

No, They're just douche bags!

[@martinmccann7946]

There the same people who go to a concert and stand with a phone in there hand, don't know good music,

[@jashnew1]

This is the category of top 50 best songs ever written of all time. Not sure where it falls but one of the best ever.

[@robertjohnson3855]

Who can say where a song falls as #1 or #100 of all time. Critics are men and women like all of us and where they place a song is always an opinion of the listener. The point is, it's great music. Yes, I said we are all men or women, there is no in between. If we have a scrotum we are men, if a Vagina a woman. Why many make things so complicated? It's one or the other period. You can tell me or anyone else your opinion but THAT is all it is, it doesn't change the facts and I for one will call it as it appears. I don't care about opinions, only the facts. Enough said.

[@rfnr8177]

@@robertjohnson3855 With your point on the man and woman issue, I 100% agree with you. But why was that necessary to bring up in the comments of a music video?? Seems a bit irrelevant!

[@Steve-gm2jl]

One of the greatest songwriters we have seen.

[@RubenBru]

I’ve cried during the first time I’ve heard this version.

[@TomCatFromMA]

This man is immortal. This song will never be forgotten. Humans have two natures; the one is to take; the other is to give. They come to build a wall between us but they won't win because the good in us keeps us inseparable from one another. Don't dream it's over. We are stronger together.

[@carlosvelez3556]

I had the very good fortune of attending a Crowded House concert sometime in the late 80's. My friend Mike was working as a DJ for a radio station in Santa Barbara while finishing his studies at UCSB and comped some tickets from the station manager. Now, I knew a little about the band, but I had no idea how incredibly talented these guys were prior to seeing them perform life. I was, to use an overly employed term but in this case perfectly apt description, blown away. And more than the music itself, Finn was funny, charming, and very humble in his interaction with the audience. As for this song, there are very few hits you can come back to again and again that hold their initial impact; "Don't Dream It's Over" has stayed with me for 30 years, and its mystery continues to resound through the changes in cities, friends, and lovers that have come and gone.

[@dybbuk67]

Was that the one at the Arlington, with Roger McGuinn opening? AMAZING show.

[@barrybr1]

So right! I attended their final concert in front of the Sydney Opera House and the emotion during the playing of Don't Dream It's Over was incredible. For Aussies and Kiwis it's like an anthem. So beautiful.

[@nurultea2243]

I'm agree Finn also fresh

[@31Alden]

Every beautiful thing you expressed…

[@vowelsounds6312]

That was a gift. Wonderful performance Neil.

[@nurultea2051]

Amazing voice. Super. You handsome singer Niel.

[@trickymicky0007]

there is something in Neil Finns voice and performance that is so amazingly deep,takes to a place in my own mind that feels very calm and settled

[@roybrookton7938]

When l state on line we had some of the best artists in the 70s,80s,90s,early 2000,and today we lost real rock and this generation gets upset saying it's not true,lm glad l was lucky to see these great artists in their prime we will never be lucky again to have such talent,..

[@donnamulvany3944]

Love this version, love this song, love his voice.

[@williamknell864]

There's a mysterious perfection to this song. As a whole, I can't really pin down what it's "about." It IS dream-like. It's a magic carpet. It wants to carry you away in the best sense.

[@martinfrog768]

One of Those Songs ... you know those songs ... the ones that you remember hearing for the first time ... and you just know it is something special ...

[@allenjones7722]

When you strip it down to a one person performance, and it is every bit as good as TV, you got best.

Sweet voice, great songwriter, great lyrics when you are feeling a bit down.

Fabulous version. Takes me back to summer barbecues in New Zealand - someone always pulls out the guitar and eventually plays this. South Pacific influence really shines through here.

Neil Finn can sing the phone book to me! Beautiful voice❤️❤️❤️Awesome song❤️❤️

[@bob72kat]

this is soo beautiful, lyrics and melody are divine...got the Best of Crowded House as a gift in my 2nd year of university...1993?? And loved it on contact and it has stayed with me thro life and grown and lived with me..couldn't be without it now...it covers every possible human emotion in such a bared to the bone but emotionally intact manner...adore it and pas it on wherever I can.....

I didn't realize how good this song was til I had heard it for 25 years. One day last month, it got stuck in my head for like 3 days. And I am the biggest critic, but can find no flaw and it makes me cry because it's so damn good.
