Oh... And I learned this and played it at an open mic night..... And will do it tomorrow night! I can't begin to explain how much I love the Finns and what they do! Next up, Tim's Persuasion!
@growchronic Neil has said that if he could've written one song in history it would have been "Across the Universe" so what you said is not surprising.
Just to comment on the look, not to compare myself in any way to God, but I play the piano and my brother would comment when I was a kid on the "dead look" on my face, and from the inside, it was when I really lost in what was going on in the music.
If I could connect to whatever Neil was channeling, I might need CPR to revive me.
The depth and breadth of the songwriting and lyrics that stand alone as poetry, combined with Neil's haunting chords and voice, makes for a hell of a musical ride. Thank-you Mr. Finn for inspiring my life. xx Alyssa, Canada.
anyone can practice hours and hours and play Yngwie/ Paul Gilbert .. shredding etc etc. No one can practice long enough to write like Mr. Finn. Brilliant...
Love Neil Finn to bits but I think he looks a bit board during these acoustic sets, I know he's knocking on a bit but prefer the fresh faced smile of the front man from crowded house \ split enz
John Lennon looked like he was constantly high, McCartney looked somewhat like a bulldog, but that hasn't stopped niether of them to create great music. If his face bothers you, close your eyes, for this is pure gold.
I think he was just sick or jetlagged or something - he looks as if he's feeling pretty bad but put in a great performance anyway. Give the man a break!
One of my favorites from One Nil. This is the first Finn song that my 4 year old daughter learned to sing. She knows almost all the lyrics to She Called Up.
Great song. Great voice.

How come in all of these "E-Coustic" sessions, he either looks bored, tired, or sad?
