1 time i was watching this yrs ago on mtv in my room when 1 of my best friends and seen what it was and said god i hate this group & i said god i love this group just to drive him nuts cuz that was the type of friends we was.
why do people feel the need to watch 80s videos and then comment on how music and everything else is terrible these days? There are plenty of great bands out right now. Most of you are just too old and bitter to enjoy them
@coop2391 i'll speak for myself when i say that i am not too old, nor am i too bitter to enjoy anything, music especially. that being said, i just don't like the music being churned out these days. i admit, i love '80s music because i was a teen then and it sticks with me. but i also love '50s, '60s, and '70s. heck, i even like big band/swing from the '20s-'40s. my point is that it doesn't matter if people turn back time by listening to what they like. no one has to like EVERY/ANY/THING new!
well when the holy persn feels the shame and evaluation the anger comes..who are they to evaluate and control.really? are they my name are they my god? I guess I could respect authority and cave in but then I'd already be working selling atm machine to chuck people into barcoded tatoeed hell.
well when the holy persn feels the shame and evaluation the anger comes..who are they to evaluate and control.really? are they my name are they my god?
Nice lyrics, like the song. I wish this video didn't weird me out so much cuz I would probably add this to my favorites list. Just haven't yet found a rendition other than this one that I like enough; alas I have to keep coming back.
Split Enz... where the lead singer & his brother came from, nor Crowded House.... NONE of them are GAY, New Zealand, Aussies and Brits all talk & act different than Americans do. Pull your head from your BUM and get a clue.
This was a perfect follow-UP to the great more down "don't dream it's over". Good lyrics and melody and everyone is so wildly charismatic and having so much fun and who wouldn't with two women like that around. Paul Hester, the drummer, seems so cool, relaxed and humorous I just hope he knew how much he was appreciated. But Paul has bouts of depression and hung himself in 2005 (year..I think). Damn it.
I think this song is a textbook definition of a pop-rock song. It's short, just over 2 minutes. It has good lyrics and a good melody, harmony is for the most part standard pop progressions. Form-wise it adheres very strictly to the standard popular song form: Verse, chorus, verse, bridge, chorus (repeat)..extremely standard - but it works.
ahhhh Paul Hester, wish he still graced us with his presence, he was a fabulous entertainer...i saw Crowded House plenty of times in concert & he was such a great performer !!!!
@japfeif hey, don't fret too much, i was born in '68...lol..so, not that far behind, but as for this so-called "music" of today, I either play dvds, cd's or listen to talk radio instead...lol....
Awesome, I never ever heard a group like that. Crowded House one of the most amazing band in the world. Eighties was the best decade for music and for everything, thank you so much for posting this fantastic video!
I live in cuernavaca, my friends and me made a "estudiantina" version, with accoustic guitar,mandolins, for what?, for a serenade to a girl who loves this song.
The crap they make now is what I call "canned music." It all sounds the same, the pop divas all look and act the same, and it's probably the same person writing all their songs. That's why 80's music was so diverse. The bands actually wrote their own music.
@scorpiorising1000 They could also sing without distorting their voices to sound like robots in pain. In the 80's they did something called singing. These days all you need is the desired look, a few dance moves and you're an artist. Thanks to MTV and American Idol for destroying music in America.
@yakfitguy lol and i suppose ur just a butthurt 80s fan who wont move on. i like this genre and the modern stuff, and even if you dont like todays music just remember: the artists of today, no matter your opinion of them, are better then you in every way shape and form.
@yakfitguy Ignore the weirdo fuckhead. I just checked his profile out. He has a video that has weirdo nutjob written all over it with only 1 friend since becoming a member in March.
@BBQFanNo1 LOL, it's funny how those people always end up being some total freak with no friends. Ahh, the internet has allowed so many scary weirdos to communicate with the rest of us.
Well, it does keep them from torturing their neighbor's cat
@gtrefghuk It's what happens when music becomes nothing more than a product. Media companies have learned how to market the most mediocre crap to the masses, especially teens. It's about selling an image they wish to emulate, not actual art. I guess it's part of the overall corporate business trend we see everywhere. The good news is, there is a growing backlash as indie labels proliferate. Good music will return again.
@yakfitguy You sure as hell got that right. I still can't figure out why Cher had to use that Autotune software, she didn't need it. She used it on "Do you believe in love" and that software has been used ever since, distorting voices making them sound like something out of an older 60s - 70s horror flick. Music sure as hell isn't the same as it used to be. Heck, I'd rather listen to 40s Big Band Era Glenn Miller's "In the mood" than most of the recent crap today. MTV wasn't always that way.
@sr71ablackbird I hate that Autotune shit too. There's another older name for the device that autotune is based on. Anyway, it allows people who can't sing to sell records in 2010. Many of today's "artists" are nothing but distorted voices, hallmark lyrics and tired dance moves. So corporate-generic it hurts. America seems to be out of ideas lately. Music is no exception.
@chukmaty Then why didn't we hear it? I agree much of the technology existed, but it was not widely used. It wasn't a substitute for good vocals, and good singers still dominated pop and rock. Vocals were important in bands that required music skills. Now, it's too easy to take a Disney channel child actor, coach them and then use software to make them sound appealing. Where's the art? Good artists are out there, but if they are so hard to find, well maybe that proves my point.
@yakfitguy sadly, MTV USED to be the ultimate music video source (as seen here), but then they adopted stupid shows like House of Style (or fashion, some crap like that), and they gave up on the music. MTV was the station which introduced the music video back in 1982 ("Video Killed The Radio Star"). This CH video was one of the earlier ones, and one of the greats IMO. i will always love this song and this band just because of where I heard it first.
@ramadarose41 Yeah, MTV was great in the 80's. Martha Quinn and Kurt Loder were ambassadors of cool and you just knew you had a finger on the pulse off good music by watching MTV. It was a good time. But, then in the mid-90's, something went very wrong. Bad artists, bad shows, and bad messages became the norm. I would never let my teenager watch it now and I'm no fuddy duddy. Swerve is even worse.
@Tre404 i think i actually knew that it was 1981 but incorrectly typed '82... that's my story, and i'm stickin to it! LOL in any case, thanks for the correction. :-)
@yakfitguy "Thanks to MTV and American Idol for destroying music in America." To be fair Crowded House is a couple of Kiwis and Aussies. To me, Crowded House is an 80's-Now version of the Beatles without the drugs
What goes around comes around. Music like this will be popular again. People will get tired of autotune bullshit. Don't give up on music just yet. We're just living in the wake of our own doing. People stopped buying cds, the music industry started crumbling, so now we have bullshit throwaway music. It's just an era and ALL eras come to an end.
@yakfitguy yes and thanks for getting rid of the culture itself!!! people used to dress and style themselves and anything was cool and creative......whats creative now? Nothing...
What I miss are also seeing arcade machines in 711's......
Funny you should say that. Back in the 80's, me and my friends always made fun of the 80's bands for being overly produced. Fake drums, way over-produced harmonies, and echo on the voices like you wouldn't believe. We pointed to 60's and 70's bands and said, "that was real music." I'm wondering what they're going to say about these days in 20 years. They'll probably call them the good old days. I guess it's all about when you grew up.
Reading some comments makes me wonder what we have done to not only to ourselves yet the next generation . When did we became GOD to judge people 4 what we are WE are not perfect . Sometimes we need to sit down an evaluate ourselves an say we are only human and steroe type people . To each is on Crowed House Will never die because of thier talent Grow up people we are in the 2010s .
@guzrod1973 I was a teen and young adult in the 80's -- when this group came out and so many other extremely talented ones. Our generation was accepting and did not pass judgement -- otherwise the music of the era would not have happened, nor the crazy fashions, etc. etc. It is this generation that has become completely cynical and retrograde because they take everything for granted and they have a sense of total entitlement. Their music is a clear reflection of their ack of values.
Like I said in my comment on Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls", this is SMART pop music. Beautifully melodic, sweet guitar playing, and some rather soaring vocals are the cherry on top of a delicious cake that would make ANYONE a gleeful diabetic.
OK...I don't mean to be pedantic, but why does this video have less than a million views, but Justin Buttnugget-I mean, Bieber- has more than 200 million for that waste of air otherwise known as "Baby"?
@sbrushfan i guess because the internet is really only popular these days, not in those old days. almost every kid these days have access to the internet and they always go to youtube to watch their idol.
@sbrushfan Because this is a generation of retarded morons. I have to be blunt but that is how I see it. A generation that cannot comprehend real music when they hear it. A generation for whom TALENT is a foreign word.
Hello, in my loser france that I love, this band is not really celebrate because the name Crowded House, is not easy to memorise, for my citizen prides of nothing, I love Crowded House and australia or new zeland they sing in english but the sound of this band is more new-zeland, thanks, bye.
It's a shame that after the debut album, Crowded House lost most of its audience in here (the U.S.). Their second album, "Temple of Low Men", was on my turntable constantly during my freshman year of college.
who gives a rat's arse where the band was formed they represent both our countries and it's the music that we should be talking about not where they boyz originate from...This was when music was worth listening too back in the days...thanx for posting Tabstarkin xo
CROWDED HOUSE.. a rock group formed in 1985 in Melbourne, Australia and led by New Zealand singer-songwriter Neil Finn.
Finn is widely recognised as the primary songwriter and creative director of the band, having led it through several incarnations, drawing members from New Zealand (his brother, Tim Finn and Eddie Rayner), Australia (Paul Hester, Nick Seymour, Peter Jones and Craig Hooper) and the United States (Mark Hart, and Matt Sherrod).
Why judge the group or were they came from. We are as idiots make something big from something so small . Its music thats all it is . To all the so called americans ask were your parents came from. Another words just sit back and listen if you dont like tune it out.
@DoUWanna007 : I love 80's music!!! But It's not Lady's Gaga's fault..They're just there to make money. The GUILTY ONES ARE THE MUSIC INDUSTRY BIG GUYS who killed rock music in the 90's. THOSE BASTARDS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR STOPING PATRONIZING ROCK....THEY COULD HAVE WELL TOLERATED IT ALONG with the NONSENSICAL, NON RYTHMIC, NON INSTRUMENTAL , SIMPLYSTIC RAP AND HIP HOP!!! Note that I didn't call it rap or hip hop"music",BECAUSE I DON'T CONSIDER IT AS SUCH.Instead they chose to kill R and R.!!
@DoUWanna007: I think people from the English people countries, specially those from the British Commonwealth-----well, any DECENT INDIVIDUAL(WITH GOOD TASTE) IN THE WORLD SHOULD ENCOURAGE THEIR KIDS NOT TO BUY, TO LISTEN OR ATTEND ANY CONCERT BY THOSE CHEAP RAP ARTISTS, SPECIALLY THOSE ARTISTS IN AMERICA....WHO NEEDS AMERICA ANYWAY, WHEN THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH could on her own produce and market ROCK music on all its variety? I WOULD SUPPORT IT. Even Eastern Europeans would buy ROCK MUSIC.
@tekatetikitiki Hey hey buddy. Easy now. I'm a rap ARTIST! I love Hip-hop and it's an amazing art form. That's why it has taken the world by storm! I also love alternative, classic, soft, metal, and a lil punk rock. I love RnB and blues is cool too. It's so much music in the world that we can jump from genre to genre to satisfy our moods! A lot of rap here in the states is controlled by large corps so what you hear is not pure innovation but followers after the dollar for their bosses. RESPECT!
@a7888 If Barnsey is Scottish then it confirms that Australia is a talentless desert. And if it wasn't for all those Kiwi's living in Aus then it's IQ would be 0!! But ya still gotta love a sunburnt country
I can't believe that Aussie's claim CH as theirs considering CH always says it's a Kiwi band. I suppose Russell Crowe and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa are Aussies. Coz we ain't ever going to claim Jimmy "Screamer" Barnes. He's Aussie coz he sucks.
Yes Australia sucks so hard a large majority of you come over to take advantage of our welfare system - lol. Cos 3 mio humans and 10 mio sheep can't be wrong...
@TheSelina1971 umm.... actually,Neil Finn has said on a number of occasions that Crowded House has always been, and always will be, a melbourne-based band. It was quoted in the biography "Something So Strong". I suggest you read it.
wow - sounds like Dodge ain't happy with our happy 80's bands...
If he didn't like the song, why did he hang around long enough to comment on it? His bad mouth shows he's an imbicile, and obviously didn't grow up with the awesome 80's songs like we did. His loss!!!
for sure the best band to come out of New Zealand. Thanks, they're our home boys so we'll have a little credit here. The Finn Brothers are both fantastic.
@deflepjunkie Agreed, People need to stop this stupid fight over which country CH "belongs" to..... I've heard Neil say that they are a melbourne-based band, Nick and Paul are both from melbourne. Neil is a great Kiwi artist and i have so much respect for him.

@yakfitguy "Thanks to MTV and American Idol for destroying music in America." To be fair Crowded House is a couple of Kiwis and Aussies. To me, Crowded House is an 80's-Now version of the Beatles without the drugs

What goes around comes around. Music like this will be popular again. People will get tired of autotune bullshit. Don't give up on music just yet. We're just living in the wake of our own doing. People stopped buying cds, the music industry started crumbling, so now we have bullshit throwaway music. It's just an era and ALL eras come to an end.

Funny you should say that. Back in the 80's, me and my friends always made fun of the 80's bands for being overly produced. Fake drums, way over-produced harmonies, and echo on the voices like you wouldn't believe. We pointed to 60's and 70's bands and said, "that was real music." I'm wondering what they're going to say about these days in 20 years. They'll probably call them the good old days. I guess it's all about when you grew up.

@TheEqualyzr That is the way all of them deliberately wanted to sing.
Distinct rather than plaguerize the other singers style.
Music would be boring and dull if every singer sounded the same which it is too much of today rather than originally distinct.

@guzrod1973 I was a teen and young adult in the 80's -- when this group came out and so many other extremely talented ones. Our generation was accepting and did not pass judgement -- otherwise the music of the era would not have happened, nor the crazy fashions, etc. etc. It is this generation that has become completely cynical and retrograde because they take everything for granted and they have a sense of total entitlement. Their music is a clear reflection of their ack of values.

Like I said in my comment on Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls", this is SMART pop music. Beautifully melodic, sweet guitar playing, and some rather soaring vocals are the cherry on top of a delicious cake that would make ANYONE a gleeful diabetic.

It's a shame that after the debut album, Crowded House lost most of its audience in here (the U.S.). Their second album, "Temple of Low Men", was on my turntable constantly during my freshman year of college.

CROWDED HOUSE.. a rock group formed in 1985 in Melbourne, Australia and led by New Zealand singer-songwriter Neil Finn.
Finn is widely recognised as the primary songwriter and creative director of the band, having led it through several incarnations, drawing members from New Zealand (his brother, Tim Finn and Eddie Rayner), Australia (Paul Hester, Nick Seymour, Peter Jones and Craig Hooper) and the United States (Mark Hart, and Matt Sherrod).

THOSE BASTARDS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR STOPING PATRONIZING ROCK....THEY COULD HAVE WELL TOLERATED IT ALONG with the NONSENSICAL, NON RYTHMIC, NON INSTRUMENTAL , SIMPLYSTIC RAP AND HIP HOP!!! Note that I didn't call it rap or hip hop"music",BECAUSE I DON'T CONSIDER IT AS SUCH.Instead they chose to kill R and R.!!

I also love alternative, classic, soft, metal, and a lil punk rock. I love RnB and blues is cool too. It's so much music in the world that we can jump from genre to genre to satisfy our moods! A lot of rap here in the states is controlled by large corps so what you hear is not pure innovation but followers after the dollar for their bosses. RESPECT!
