In my opinion, the best Crowded House song ever written. Still playing it on high rotation in 2023.

[@jogiedhesi2021]

Me too ❤

[@mikeyerian2562]

Yes. Perfect pop songwriting.

I agree

I don't think he gets the respect he is due. You may disagree but Neil Finn is one of the best singer/songwriters in recent times.

[@christinadeleon5672]

Apparently, Sir Paul McCartney agrees with you!

[@SickAunt]

In the traditional sense, yes.

[@davewilson9738]

Seeing Paul Hester is still a tug at the heart, he was so loved.

[@SuellaForPresident]

Yep, sad isn't it.

[@neilpemberton5523]

My favourite Crowded House song. Neil Finn is some kind of songwriting genius.

[@emmaevans9498]

Mine too, for like 20 off yrs. Shame he became a dick & shoehorned his kids into the band. I mean, who gets rid of Mark?!
