Was wondering what you like better and checked your ratings, which are pretty close to mine. Strange how some things work for one and others don't. (I like Bridge Over Troubled Water better than this, too, but this is still an 8 at least.) |

This is one of those songs for me that always seems to bring back good times in the past. Goosebump time!  |

More CH! More CH! Play everything that's NOT a hit — Neil and Tim Finn and Co. are brilliant. How about "Silent House" from their latest CD? Brilliant!

Love this song. Sixpence None the Richer sings an interesting interpretation, too.

Crowded House and Steven King - now that's a superb combination!

Brilliant tune- wonderful memories. Funny how powerful it is when those two forces collide/conspire.

I was just listening (the old way, off a CD!) to Paul Carrack's Old, New, Borrowed and Blue album that has a cover of song. He does a great job with the song too, I saw him perform it back in January at The Sage. Crackin venue, that was a good time.

Funny. Sap isn't what comes to mind. Can't hear this without thinking of when The Stand miniseries came on tv. Molly Ringwald's father just died and evil dude is comforting her.

Now, I am embarrassed that I ever thought of Crowded House as a one hit wonder.
Thankl you, RP.

Not when you're in love.
Even after so many years with the same song and the same woman this never seems stale or sappy.
Besides, the opening guitar riff is one of those clean, beautiful moments in rock music. Like a clean breeze on a clear, cold day. |
