Tis great to hear these songs done this way!

gorgeous song.... time stands still on such classics.. thank god no teeny boppers have found it yet and wrecked it

@ahisandwich don't completely agree on the john lennon thing. I think if anyone was Lennon in Split Enz it must have been Judd,but not Tim. Tim is a crooner, a brilliant melodist(like Mccartney,not Lennon).

I totally agree with Neil's take on the arrangement. When the choir kicked in at the end, I was thinking "for the love of God, why?!" It's like the person that wrote the arrangement had never actually listened to the song.

This is the best split enz song cause it's got meaning. I love some if their other stuff, like 6 months in a leaky boat, but it's all just fun. Which is good, but this song has good lyrics and meaning :) and it's beautiful xx

@runninglikewind I agree, I still like Time better, I just think he's lost some of his range. He is the John Lennon to Neil's Paul.

I like Tim's version better but still its an awesome song.

[ahisandwich]

@runninglikewind I saw Tim perform in ALT, and he was brilliant. He has much more angst than Neil. I liken Tim to John Lennon, Neil more of a Paul. And don't forget about Judd, the two of them neurotically feeding off each other's energy!

@ahisandwich Tim's voice is still in great shape, and I still prefer it to Neil's

love this stuff :-) was sorry to see that the Finns walked away from the 2nd album and these people had to get guest singers in to do the job?

[ahisandwich]

Tim's voice is not nearly as strong as it once was, and as of the recording of this song, I'm sure he would not have been able to pull this song off. But when he was in his heyday, I always preferred his vocal style. He is much more intense, which may translate as overemoting to some, but I still love to hear him on the earlier albums.

Eddie Rayner was brilliant.
