  • did Neil Finn die?

  • @ChasingLogan123 No, the drummer did. Commited suicide.

  • Amazing song, great performance, simple as.

  • Neil Finn isn't dead you idiots

  • what a fcken incredible song... gives me chills everytime I listen to it. this song has something more than just lyrics and instruments. neil finn is such a great voice for the song as well. and for those in doubt... no he isnt dead. paul hester was the one who died (who was the drummer I think). he committed suicide.... very sad... :(

  • did Neil Flynn die?

  • @ChasingLogan123 no I think he was thinking of the drummer.

  • I think what's sad is the language used here by so called music lovers to respond to comments made. I'm sure I'll receive ridicule complete with expletives. This is music, not wrestling, NASCAR or a Cosa Nostra Documentary. Every day our flag goes up our morals sink another notch lower. Social Media???? For me, this song is so emotionally striking on so many fronts. So relative.

  • i fucking love this song!!! :) its so sad the lead singer already died :(

  • I was at this concert on a boat in Darling Harbour. BEST concert EVER!!!!

  • <3 u HWB. MU lots

  • nobody could possibly sing this any better than neil finn.

  • Still remember this day like it was yesterday. So emotional!

  • Briliant. Nothing more to say...

  • man, I miss 80's bands

  • 21 dislikes, How could you not like this song?

  • He looks so young! What a fabulous song. I love the 80s.

  • Not to shabby for a Te Awamutu boy

  • "Its been a blast." Now that is a Kiwi band.

  • Oh the memories. The gem of the 80's

  • greatest classic ever, so full of emotion - gives me a chill simply love it and crowded house. this performance was excellent

  • chilling....RIP Paul Hester

  • It's a shame that they never managed to repeat the magic of the album woodface. I am still sad that they broke up

  • clasico muy bueno

  • what 20 retards disliked this!?

  • @roYster213 I'm with you. You would have be a freaking ReRe not to love this song. It's an 80's classic

  • @roYster213 the ones whose parents used their heads as wheel chocks...

  • Some of those people are still there 15 years later waiting for them to come back!

  • Why did this band break up?

  • Um clássico nunca morre! Bons tempos aquele!

    Márcia - Portugal

  • What a VOICE! Music today is crap! Compared to this talent!!!

  • This song will always take me back to a particular time in my life, and to a particular girlfriend. Although it's 25 years since we've been together, I've never forgotten her. The long drive to Melbourne had this song on repeat over and over as I drove down. She's moved on many years ago, but the feelings this song brings will never go away. Robyn - I'll always love you.

  • I love this song--always have.It's a shame that songs like this don't grace the general airwaves of popular music. Much of today's music is so devoid of substance it is sickening. Technology has (with all the good that is has allowed) contributed to poor excuses for what is called "songs." Any modern songwriter would do well to take lessons from the simplicity and beauty of this song and its arrangement. To put words in to the Kinks mouths, Where have all the good SONGS gone.

  • twenty idiots

    

  • How can you NOT like this song? It is just so perfect in every way.

  • Has to be my all time favourite song. What a trully talented man Neil FINN is.

  • got to be one the best kiwi bands struggling along , well done neil good sounds keep going your fans grow older with you ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

  • This song is just very amazing <3

  • How could anyone not like this song. It was used wonderfully in the movie "Adventureland"

  • <3 OVER lol

  • @ginaellarina ....and begun again. I'm so happy CH is back

  • how the fuck do we as a people let this band slip by....fuck-fuck-FUCK IT!

  • music has always connected both spheres of the brain.

    this connects. Ya either get it or you don't.

  • "...it's over...!

  • awesome thanks for uploading

  • perfect

    

  • first kiss to this song in spring 07 gd times

  • hermoso tema.....me lleva al pasado magia.....

  • far out and kick ass!

  • I found this video a bout a week ago looking for the rendition that Susan Boyle recently released, which she sang angelically....how can you not?......I Love this rendition live better......a beautiful song for the world!....Thank you Crowded House!......

  • I found this video about a week ago after looking for the Susan Boyle rendition, which she did sing very angelically.....how can you not?......I do remember this song........it's beautiful, sweet and sad....a song for the world.....I love it!.....Thank you Crowded House!.........

  • This some gangsta shit right here

  • so uplifting when bands of the time questioned everything around them, crowded house marveled and loved what they had... beautiful

  • There is quite simply, nothing better than this. A Perfect song, a perfect performance. Don't bother to argue if you disagree, just fuck off and die quietly in your own excrement.

  • if there was any concert in history i could have gone to, it would have to have been farewell to the world

  • If you don't dig this tune, go fuck yourself.

  • @elbob17 Amen to that!

  • @elbob17 - I'M FUCKING MYSELF RIGHT NOW. OH NO! I THINK I'M GONNA CUM!

  • @elbob17 amen

  • @elbob17 well said mate !

  • @elbob17 I'm fucking myself, even though I love this tune.lmao

  • Muito louco

  • goosebumps!

  • aqui en el escenario es donde REALMENTE se muestra el TALENTO "el vedadero CANTANTE" no como el falso cantante que utiliza el PLAY BACK en sus concierto como muchos en la actualidad lo son.

  • Antonello Venditti ascoltatela... alta marea :D ciao a tutti...

  • ......re: catch the deluge in a paper cup lyric.....ever suppose it is a wink at the Beatles All Across The Universe lyric of "words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup" ? Check it out.......thank me later !!!!

  • la mejor balada del mundo

  • Good stuff brings the time back...seems like yesturday....

  • I just cant understand anyone that does not like this song.

  • One of the most beautiful songs every written. Watch the original video to see the stages of the band's development through their different band "houses." This song spread around the world to universal acclaim and is still one of the best loved songs of the 80's.

  • Música maravilhosa,nota 10

  • epic

    classic forever

  • Timeless song by a gifted songwriter and performer - what an event this must have been!

  • bug...the govment taketh away.

    no message for... is it over?

  • It's very difficult to dislike this song, 20 people can, they are so strong or they don't have ears!

  • why is it that bands like these have to disappear?? whay cant these bands never cease to exist? why do there have to be people like justin beiber and cody simpson? why cant people really learn to apreciate real music? i am not from this type of musics era but i think it is the best!!

  • @bugeater456

    They have not disappeared. They are alive and living. They are coming back, older and wiser. Long live age.

  • linda musica escuto ela todo dia

    marquim brasil ceara

  • nc9193 I agree. classic. And the need to question authority is paramount.

  • I remember reading an interview with Neil Finn when this song was in the British charts, some 24 years ago, when I was at school. He said he got the idea for the song whilst driving through Melbourne in the rain and his car broke down - just listen to the lyrics. I dont think the lyrics are that deep. I love this song though, reminds me of what I was doing that year.

  • @EnglishChannel1 haha that explains the line "you'll never see the end of the road if you're traveling with me"

  • @emittscool and also the line "Now I'm towing my car

    there's a hole in the roof, my possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof"

  • que musica boaaaaaaaaaaaa olha que só tenho 18anos não sou dessa epoca mais essa e pra marcar

  • All joking aside. I think we all agree that it is a great song, very deep and meaningful!!

    A classic.

  • "...and so the ants will multiply and be ever more dependent on the lawmakers ensuring the recertification of the lawmakers so that the ants can continue to multiple..." who supports the cost?

    Of course, the Worker Ants. Keep working they say, keep working!

  • Bravo! We have finally found the location of the meaning....Now what do we talk about???

  • Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup!!! Hey now, Hey now!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • This is one of the best songs out there....very deep but you should get the meaning!! Hey now.....Hey now

  • @nc9193 I know! The song is about a colony of ants and the struggles they go through just to create a birthing place for their young! Insecticides, "deluges," humans (but they won't win), "they come to build a wall between us" talks of ants of a different species trying to divide them and wipe them out. VERY DEEP!

  • @jamesrwill You win the prize. While we have all been racking our brains out trying to figure out the meaning...and there you are you had it in a paper cup all along :)

  • @jamesrwill

    Ok Ants as a metaphor. Very brilliant !!!!! I am very impressed. Deluges are the overflow. The young insecticides just carrying on the battle to save the Queen. Brilliant, Bravo.........DEEP!!!

  • Amazing song!!

  • 20 people clicked the dislike button on this video because they didn't like it

  • @joshualucas Then you dont know shit about really good songs, or perhaps it is a little to deep for you!!!!

  • @nc9193 *face palm*

  • @joshualucas  Their losssss.

  • @joshualucas Their loss.

  • the Wall is here. don't dream, it's over...

    if you let it.

    O don't know!

  • i would have sex with the singer..lol jk good song love it.

  • Great musicians. That bass player is a master at his craft.

  • now i'm walking again

    to beat of a drum

    and I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart

  • BELLOOOOOOOO

  • 17 people dreamed its over and are now mad at this song.

  • Tricia,

    I love you!!!

  • You;ll never see the end of the road while your traveling with me. Awesome words!

  • 17 people think that wet farts taste good.

    17 people think that having a wank is better than sex.

    17 people needed to be drowned at birth.

    This is the the BEST song that Neill Finn wrote...

    And the most timeless.

    Relevant now as it was then.

    The 17 and the resy who dislike this song should go back to singing along with nursery rhymes... As it obviously the only tune they can keep in their small, pathetic minds.....

    Crowded House...Don't Dream, It's NOT Over.....

  • @PsychedelicScrubTurk Maybe people disliked the video because the sound is really shitty, not because it's a bad song..

  • @PsychedelicScrubTurk This is one of the greatest songs ever. Deep as it may be...just goes to show that 17 people dont pay attention to the lyrics, or just dont get it. Hopefully that Dream will never be over!!!

  • A very talented, underrated band. So original, especially for the time. Has the ability to transport me right back to the past, a pleasant ride too, the hallmarks of a great piece of work. Thank you Crowded House

  • @SeveranceNservice i know you posted this some months ago and by no means do i mean any disrespect my this comment. this band has sold millions of albums had critically acclaimed albums underrated is not the word. look at bands such as idlewild, hope of the states, liam frost artists that created beautiful music that could not fill a 500 capacity venue let alone play to 100,000 odd people.

  • One of my favorite songs! Proud to be a GenXer!!

  • @Narissar shows that not everyone from our era is brainwashed into liking the crap that's out nawdays, some still have taste!! :D

  • i feel sorry for the drummer who commited suicide... great band though

  • i'm only 15 and i adore this song, and era.

    shows not all youth nowadays is brainwashed by bieberfever.

  • @shewasateenagecorpse omg same. im 16 and im inlove with it.

  • Wonderful - Where was this?

  • @QuadCorr

    Sydney. Opera House in the background as well as him mentioning it a few seconds into the video.

  • yaa i was there back in the day

  • Yo man, I'm just trying to catch the deludge in a paper cup. Cheers to these motherfucking aussies. I may be 17 but this is a cut in any decade.

  • This tune was in the sound track from the movie Cosi. Great movie great song

  • @rpcvnepal This song also has a small part in the Stephen King book The Stand, made into a tv mini series years ago. While it only had a small part of the song I will never forget the exact part of the movie it is in. It is one of the best books I have ever read and one of the only one that actually did justice on the screen. The song fits perfectly into the storyline.

  • Great1 Song thanxs for posting.....I love this songggg....

  • the inevitable cigarette lighters wave 

  • WHAT A HIT.

  • Never let them win...

  • This is the first time I've heard a live version of this song...INCREDIBLE that it sounds as good as the studio version. That is not something that every band can pull off.
