  • James Blunt's version is better?! Ehhh... no. :P The original version is absolutely amazing, and provokes so many emotions. James Blunt could never be better than the wonderful Crowded House. To say that his COVER was better would be blasphemy! :P But hey, each to their own (even if their own makes me shiver in utter disgust). ;)

  • Elegant song. Perfect performance. I love it!!!!

  • boy & bear version is better than the original

  • @MrCambo999 you're kidding right? original is 34372324623 times better than the cover. The Finn brothers shit over boy and bear.

  • dey from timaru bro,mainland aoteroa

  • @chucichu they from te awamutu you clown

  • I'm not even going to grace James Blunt's version with a listen. I have and will always be the biggest Crowded House fan!

  • @Greene269

    have to beg to differ cocker.

  • I can't believe some say the Blunt version is better...

  • I really shouldn't care what your opinion is...but the James Blunt version is BETTER? Ugh.

  • @houghtos if it wasnt for these guys what would James Blunt have sung, just somrthing to comptemplate peace :)

  • the james blunt version is better... good song tho!

  • This is such a romantic song

  • I like unions

  • Alistair Griffin Brought Me Here! Check Out My Channel To Here Some Of His Music! He Was On Fame Academy And Should Of Won! I Think He Is One Of The Best Singers The UK Has To Offer!

  • beautiful, best song.

  • Aussie Feekers

  • great song...some people told me my voice reminds them of this sound?

    

  • not wanna hate on it and I actually do not hate this version. but I prefer the James Blunt version.

  • @JJvGBeats The Jame Blunt version is beyond awful. It is the aural equivalent of ebola.

  • @iiiimagoo And that is your opinion and you should not change that

  • one of the very best sings in the world ever!

  • Oz band? NO WaY?? NZ

  • @92bonkers - people don't appreciate music that's why.... you see people that do loops have 1003u384294732842394234872 views and something beautiful only has a million, People are still asleep, they need to wake up !

  • They're very nice

  • It only has 3 times the views of boy and bears cover...

  • well someone disagreed with something you said in the top comment ages ago

  • amazing song...

  • most under rated band ever!

  • @MrDavezzzzzzzzzz Shut up. They are not under rated at all. They've been around for years, they are popular, they were very popular in their time, if they made music even now, they would still be popular.

  • @Sc33n3 They are too, they're only well-known in NZ and Australia, and most americans only know Don't Dream It's Over, and even their popularity here is slowly fading, all the kids (excluding special ones like me :D) my age are all listening to shit from America, and the only aussie band they can name is AC/DC

  • @TheEchelonFTW Oh, I didn't realize they weren't as popular in America. Because I'm from Australia and I basically grew up listening to Crowded House, my parents always listened to them. I didn't think they were under rated, also because they've been mentioned on quite a few TV shows as one of the greatest bands, and I always heard their music on the radio. I like to think that I'm pretty young for a Crowded House fan also because they're music was popular years before I was born. :)

  • @Sc33n3 I'm aussie too, and I can't find a CH fan my own age, I'm 13 btw, same with my mum, she always listened to them my whole life, and for ages I thought they were the greatest band ever, EVERYWHERE not just here and NZ, but then I found out they were only the greatest here and in NZ, kinda like Midnight Oil, Hunters and Collectors and yeah

  • @TheEchelonFTW I disagree, I think most young people (target audience of music companies) in Australia can name a lot of Aussie bands, current ones and past, just look at what Triple JJJ does for local music. Birds of Tokyo, Karnivool, Parkway Drive, Gotye, Guineafowl - all artists off the top of my head that get major air time, and are homegrown.

  • @MrWTFisINtheHOUSE What about Jet? Amazing Aussie band

  • This is a classic song ♥

  • is this a cover of boy and bears song?

  • @bradah86 No, the Boy & Bear song is a cover of this.

  • Love the song, but I prefer de boy and bear version...

  • Comment removed

  • 4 chord song =P

  • @BomaBoi That supposed to be a bad thing ?

  • @TheDavewithnoname Not at all

  • I must admit i prefer james blunts version...

  • Believe it or not, The Axis of Awesome brought me here...

  • One of my really good guy friends sang this song at my school singing show and it made me cry. This is such a good mellow song <3

  • i love this tune makes me think of my other half all the time :)

  • haha this is on the new starbucks playlist

  • 240p, we meet again....

  • PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • great the search for @ThecelonFTW begins

  • @theprestigeing wait... what?!

  • axis of awsome

  • how does this only have 1, 624, 085 views?!?!!

  • @92bonkers its only counting my views

  • @tghayes

    Damn! Thought it was only counting mine! :-)

  • @92bonkers Because only 1,624,085 people have seen this video.

  • @berisha10 wrong! you think 1,624,085 views = 1,624,085 people have watched this. I have watched this this more than once therefore your logic doesn't work.

  • @92bonkers Because it has only been viewed 1, 624, 085 times.

  • @92bonkers Because people are basically stupid and have no taste.

  • fuck all that ballshit about different eras of music, todays music is shit end of.

  • Some bands are let down by their bridge section. Not CH. Amazing bridges.

  • Lady gaga is talented and so is Crowded House. Its because its in different eras of music.

    Lets just enjoy the music people...

  • @JommoT yes agree totally, just be happy and enjoy

  • @JommoT plz lady gaga dont come close to this stuff

  • My god, I grew up with this song and only recently I discovered how great it is.

  • Axis who? How about Boy & Bear they did a better version of this song.

    It was on Triple J Like A Version check it out it's awesome.

  • this song is so close to my heart, they played it on a slide show at my close friends funeral. Such a beautiful song!

  • One of my favorite crowded house tracks!

  • Um, who are axis of awesome? AWESOME is Crowded House. Why are there arguments about Axis of who????? Agree with macram....Chill Out - we all know it's a Crowded House song and most people watching this won't even know who the other dudes are.

  • 99.9% of people on youtube are absolutely retarded. Its a crowded house song, chill out

  • @TheEchelonFTW @attica1010 hahaaa you 2 should meet up and have dry bum sex

  • @TheEchelonFTW HAHAHA YOU FUCKING DICKBAG - Read what I said again, if you're that fucking stupid and you don't understand it, then fyi - I was saying exactly that, only a small minority of people knew this after Axis of Awesome, a minority, meaning the majority of people knew this before axis of awesome

    I HOPE YOU FEEL STUPID YOU FUCKWIT.

    Honestly, you deserve to be inn our gene pool, go kill yourself

  • Neil Finn is a genius.

  • @flame0154 Yup!!

  • A very beautiful poem.

  • @TsarMarster Pretty sure there is only a very small minority of people that knew this after Axis of Awesome.

    Likewhore..

  • @attica1010 you're a fucking idiot, this is a legendary song and i didn't even know axis of awesome did this song, and MILLIONS of people knew this before axis of awesome, fuckwit, and A SMALL MINORITY?! you couldn't get any dumber could you??

  • Thumbs up if you read the post about WANKING cracked up and thumbs upped!

  • great song  thailand

  • Axis of awesome do it better

  • @NickFlicksWeekly Without the original their would be no imitations :-)

  • ANTES, SE HACIA MUSICA, Y LA MEJOR, HOY? NO

  • this is amazing. timeless

  • Neil Finn in his higher register has the voice of a trippped out angel in dream. I'm in my late 30s so I got into Crowded House off the back of Split Ends.

    I don't care when or where anyone heard teh Finn for the first time - if his voice or lyrics snared you, you are hooked for life and we're on the same team.

  • Please, thumbs up if you don't give a damn you knew this before whatever somebody says. Sometimes we know things before others do, sometimes we don't, see? And it really doesn't make us better, or worse. So please, whoever said that, stuff this on your mind, and let us enjoy the music. And... by the way, if anybody had the doubt... I knew this before Axis or whatever it is. I don't even know what's that. :)

  • i'm i not pretty enooough

  • Comment removed

  • @moniskazz NO STFU STOP!

  • In all honesty, this would probably have been the wisest choice as the first single from Woodface in the States... :P

  • not usually my type of music, but reminds me of a night when i was a teenager trippin on muchrooms and the girls house we were in had this playin! liked it ever since

  • I am always on my knees.. Now I ask you to show me. Let me see and feel your tears, let me touch that turning pain and let go and call me. When you know that you need my presence so we know where our love will lead.

  • Lo acabo de poner al aire y me atacó la melancolía... Y bueh...

  • Love This Song.

    cant get enough of it

  • One of my favourite Crowded House songs, beautiful and haunting...

    P.S. I'll stick my thumbs up your arses soon people!

  • Comment removed

  • Yea AXIS of AWESOME!

  • ahhhhh i love crowded house!!! ever since i was little! it is kind of weird for an american kid to know more than just dont dream its over and something so strong! but i loveeeee neil finn, crowded house and split enz alllll of it!

  • what a beautiful song

  • I LOVEEEEEE THIS !!!!!!!

  • ..................ssssssssssss­sssss

  • Amazing song.. Just saying!

  • Thumbs up if you're wanking and crying to this right now!

  • oh and @koolkayaloveladygaga, get fucked, go listen to some real music you fucktard, lady gaga is about as talented as one of neil finn's toes, go listen to some REAL music, crowded house is one of the greatest bands of all time, they became famous through being musical geniuses not wearing a slab of meat, i hardly think this song is 'depressing', what? not up to the standards of your p-p-p-p-pokerface p-p-p-pokerface?! may you be struck by a dick.

  • @TheEchelonFTW as much as I love Crowded House, I must fundamentally disagree that Lady Gaga isn't talented. Seriously, look up her background and her career.

  • @TheEchelonFTW Oh, and the irony is that both this song and 'Poker Face' use the same four chords

  • @ChickenMOOO pfft like poker face has chords, hardly consider that 'noise' music

  • @zupsabao just because you're too stubborn to accept that you're wrong..

  • @ChickenMOOO zupsabao isn't wrong, he's just pointing the obvious, i mean, come on, i'm bluffin' with my muffin?!? so fucking meaningful -_-

  • @TheEchelonFTW actually it does have meaning, it's just not Gaga's fault you're ignorant to it

  • @ChickenMOOO No it's her fault for writing shit lyrics which at face value mean absolutely nothing until some pretentious explanation is given.

  • @FecklessCretin that's what i mean, it would take a fucking genius to get the meaning out of some of lady gaga's songs, i mean people are trying to explain what songs mean any way they can, i heard some idiot say that The Fantasy by 30 Seconds To Mars (awesome song, awesome band) is about a PORN ADDICTION!! and if you've heard it, u know that's not what it's about!

  • @ChickenMOOO just the chorus or the whole song?

  • @DarkLionInteractive not a clue

  • @TheEchelonFTW DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK OF NEIL'S TOES IN THAT WAY! D:

  • Comment removed

  • a real fave this ^-^

  • what a nice song... one of my fav of Crowded

  • GREAT song , grtz

  • the words "deppressing" and anyone who would desciribe this softly moving melody full of emotion and feeling is obviously kind of a fuking tit-wank of the finest quality seeking fullfilment from his surrogate step-daddy tucking him/her in at night?this band is differet class from ur usual run of the mill fromunda cheese and u need to appreciate true quality koolkayaloveladygaga....WFF!!!­!LADY GAGA IS A FUKING MAN WITH BIGGER BALLS THAN CHUCK NORRIS!!! :P

  • @TheMassDefect Damn you are too good.. how did you know =-="

  • DIPRESSING!!!

  • @koolkayaloveladygaga Depressing*

  • One of the favorite times of my life was driving around NZ listening to "She will Have Her Way"; the female artists as well; and the first Crowded House album was always included in my "What 10 Albums would you take if you were stranded on a desert island?" - I never get sick of those songs...

  • NZ NZ NZ NZ NZ NZ NZ NZ AUS YAY

  • Paul McCartney once said that this was the greatest song he never wrote!!High praise indeed!!

  • Crowded House = BRILLIANT

    

  • Great track listen too Kulu change of heart

  • try this one...

    "john townsend" crowded house.

    xx

  • I prefer the Boy and Bear version

  • Thumbs up if you've known this song before axis of awesome, my brother introduced me to this song! :D

  • I miss Paul Hester.

  • planking at 0:28

  • who the F*** is axis of awesome? I dread to know!

  • @pe4cefrog Axis of awesome made a song called the 4 Chord Song, singing all the top pop hits using only 4 Chords..Obviously it's actually pretty funny and you should check it out, And personally who cares if you knew it before at least i know it now it is officially better because of that you can't knock either

  • @kushxhaze1 you are just repeating others words without understanding them. the chorus of this song is indeed 4 chord progression, but the verses are pretty complex for a pop song - with some rythmic changes that are not common at all. yes this song is mostly recognized by its chorus, but still, its obviously you do not understand really what you are trying to imply.

  • @pe4cefrog they are amazing.type in four chord song the axis of awesome and click the live one-its really funny

  • THUMBS UP IF YOU KNEW THIS BEFORE AXIS OF AWESOME

  • @TsarMarster Who is Axis of Awesome? I heard the rendition from Boy & Bear!

  • @SexyRikuForMe

    It's an Aussie comedy band, look up their song 4 chords.

  • @matthewstras similarly look up "Pachelbel Rant" which came out beforehand

  • @SexyRikuForMe search "Axis of awesome 4 chords"

  • @TsarMarster who the fuck is that?

  • @TsarMarster i didn't , should i thumbs u down? haha

  • Thumbs me down, Idgaf? lol

  • @TsarMarster I don't even know what Axis of Awesome,tbh bro.

  • @TsarMarster +is*

  • you losers suck. axis of awesome is cool and all, but the fact you never knew this song existed to begin with.. despicable

  • Actually LOVE this song! Crowded House are my dad's favourite band and he got me into them, and i'm hooked! Love some of their songs, and FALL AT YOUR FEET is my favourite along with MEAN TO ME and a song from their latest album, ARCHERS ARROWS :)

  • another underated band......jedward,cher lloyd & co FUCK OFF !!!!

  • Best Australian album of all time from my perspective!

  • Papasakok, kuo crowdesnę gyvenimo istoriją.

  • I was woken up by this song at Sonisphere 2011 UK.

  • Top Tune

  • When I went to see Crowded House live in Paris four years ago, they played this gem and everyone was singing along with the band. A magic moment!

  • oh.... it stopped..... *click replay*

  • 3,000th like get

  • can't wait for this song to take charge of rick roll

  • The beginning of this song sounds like a completely different song

    

  • Great, Great band! if you love this music you should check out Fanatic - Frustrations.

  • @123revolver3 cheers for the heads up on that band ,never heard of them b4 :/  brilliant !
