Try Whistling This - Neil Finn live acoustic

[MrsPrimrosePig]

love this so much

[YOUrmypal68]

One of the songs used in the movie "In The Land of Women" with Meg Ryan, Kristen Stewart & Adam Brody - it was a good scene towards the end of the movie

[moniquelindinha17]

o final é o melhor...

[RedMist85]

Lovely song!

[adamstokke]

A completely underrated and masterful musician. Thanks, Neil. You got me through some rough and interesting times.

[JumpersUnitedAU]

still remember paul mccartney saying" i wish i could write ballads like niel finn".one legend to another.

[anthonythirteen]

@JumpersUnitedAU Neil sounds a little like John Lennon, I'm surprised he hasn't worked with Macca!

[Chummerov]

one of the best lovesongs on the Planet!

[harrisonlowe1]

Inspires me more than Sunlight.....to not need a band is to be there : )

[icanwaitanotherday]

The way he plays piano is just gorgeous!

[tubestation66]

god himself could not write a more beautiful song than neil

[Tbaldwin1971]

This man is a genius with lyrics.

Beautiful music

[IanGorton]

The lyric of "Violent stranger He said come here as he pushed me down It's impossible to do" was inspired apparently by a backstage scuffle Neil had with Paul in Milan.

[xXpiredXx]

magic, his songs make me cry, make me happy, the just make my day!

[OronOfMontreal]

Crowded House is FIVE of my favourite bands!

[truemrsdarcy]

so beautiful!

[ArkadianDream]

wow...the last part is truly wonderful

[jehovahboy2005]

"and my words are ringing in your ears". beautiful words from then on and right to the end. definitely my favourite part...

[justinmepham]

his son liam finn is amazing

[fleurdelista]

this song is completely and utterly amazing.

[icanwaitanotherday]

He can play the crap out of that piano

[bobwise1977]

my favourite neil song by far! does anyone understand what the songs about..i adore the lyrics but they confuse me

[Rissoleking]

I heard in an old interview that 'he said come here/as he pushed me down' is about a push and shove he had with Paul Hester after a gig before CH broke up... the high heels bit has me buggered though!

[bobwise1977]

yeah the lyrics are very eclectic, and although i dont really know what the song s about, i really connect with it. thanks for the info

[Rissoleking]

Thats one of the things I really like about his lyrics - because they're not a straight narrative, they convey an emotion before anything else, which means you don't have to have had a tiff with Paul Hester to understand what he's getting at!

[bobwise1977]

its lots of little parts i love...tales from my head cant buy the book...you say your tired, liquid as water...and 'im the best that you know' to mention just a few as well as the high heels line you mentioned. and the music is just pure magic. i have all the crowded house/finn brothers/neil finn albums. even a slit enz cd, but this song is my favourite musically and lyrically along with whispers and moans

[AndreasSimon]

@Rissoleking: @bobwise1977: In the inofficial "Lyrics Manual" it says that parts of the lyrics were indeed inspired by a row between Neil and CH drummer Paul, the high heels bit may refer to Paul's high heels routine on stage. I think the rest is a rather straightforward love song to Neil's wife Sharon.

[whyohwhy999]

This is an eclectic mix of experiences and emotions.. it is the anti-pop song. Neil was called a pop craftsman through his career.  This song appears to be a fleshing out of his many talents showing a much deeper poignant richer style beyond classic pop. This song is obviously about more than one "thing". There are some beautiful lyrics of love (as I stroke your back, I'm the best that you know) and struggle (he said come here as he pushed me down). Just BEAUTIFUL

[truemansparks]

always thought there was more to neil finns music and lyrics than the average "pop"writer they have a much deeper feel to them even more so than lennon or mccartney

[danceinpeace]

so beautiful.

[shaggyoldthing]

on the album version when he gently says: 'I know ...' my heart explodes with gratitude. Thank you Neil!

[binisama]

Thanks for posting - what a gorgeous version. I don't suppose you have footage of Message To My Girl from the same show? The snippet at the end of "A Good Tune is Always in Short Supply" is tantalizing.

[AndreasSimon]

Ask the filmmaker, he should know.

[icanwaitanotherday]

He is gorgeous and so is his music

[soulcornflake]

God I love this version.

[truemansparks]

phenomonal, saw neil and tim afew years ago at manchester apollo the best concert i have ever seen there vocals any harmonies where amazing!

[alkadypod]

I love this song and I love this version NEIL just rocks,arise Sir Neil :)

[elsieowl]

An absolute masterpiece. The lyrics, the harmonic progression, the dynamics...All singer-songwriters take a lesson.

[imusbcraz]

Just wow.

[mrsjones14]

soo schön!
