When those two harmonize, I could swear that's what angels sound like when they sing. Absolutely incredible... seriously underrated, but perhaps that makes them all the more special...
I'm pretty sure it's them in the horse as I saw them take the stage once in this costume and milk it for all it was worth. Tim looks like a homeless person in this video!
One of the best songs they've written. It didn't grab me at first but each time I hear it, it just grows. It has so much sadness in it and it makes me feel that.
i have every single album or cd that neil or tim have ever made from split enz to crowded house to finn brothers and their individual solo careers... yet this is one of my absolute favorites. Absolutely beautiful...and very thought provoking...
"Taste the edible flowers, taste the edible flowers, scattered in the salad days." Such a touching song about growing old. These two are songwriting geniuses.
I agree 100% with luvmusic5366...I have always considered the Enz to be the Beach Boys of New Zealand and the 80's. Very underated indeed. Ive got to get this CD.
It's absolutely amazing how different the verses and choruses are from each other but they fit together so beautifully! I can't think of any other song like it. Breathtaking.
I wonder whether only two brothers could write two such varied pieces that are so perfectly complementary.
You know how a song can take you back to the time when you last heard it, well this song is THE song for last summer for me, and I listen to a lot of music... there is magic here... the craft at it's best... sun peeping behind clouds... hope after sorry... in a nutshell, reality. Music that touches the deeper parts of the soul. Thankyou brothers Finn. Josh, Australia.
These guys are sooooo Great!! So glad I got to meet each of them in San Diego, at different concerts. Thanks RoyBern for introducing their music to me. And THNAK YU Neil & Tim for giving us your music, sharingyour alent & time! Cheers, J9
"I'm hardly here at all" Pay no attention to the wide eyed girl in the corner... just enjoying "the pain and the pleasure"... DAMN if this guy isn't one talented lyricist!! Wow! Gorgeous gorgeous song!
Yeah, it's pretty moody to begin with, but when Neil breaks in with the chorus "who owns that space?" and his voice soars with Tim's harmonizing, I can only sigh & wish I was there in person to hear this. On the same album, listen to the intense A Life Between Us & try not to weep in the face of all that love. My current fav. album by far.
extraordinairy music, deep and warm and far beyond the realms of what we know.. an new horizon is what they shaped for me... so many good memories on this one
i am from Holland and I ve seen New Zealand... so beaitiful this song always circles through my mind..
absolute brilliance with this song. I know it aint single material but we all need to look to the deeper stuff if we are going to appreciate true music properly.
This song is so beautiful that deserves more views...Thanks for uploading.
