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... :(
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.
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.
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!.........
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.

......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 !!!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever 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.

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!!
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.
"...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!
@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 :)
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!!!
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.....
@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.
@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.
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.
