While in the car a few minutes ago, I heard on the CBC that Mr. Finn is 51 years old today.

Agreed. Even his more mediocre material is great, he who can do virtually no wrong  |

They remixed it by putting in some violence, but took out any conceivable reference to sex or bare breasts- |

I couldn't agree more. What the hell were they thinking? |

one of Neil Finn's more straightforward songs, lyrically. I'm not crazy about the production on this song/album, but Neil really can do no wrong, musically, in my book...

If anyone uses aMule to find music, take a look for Neil Finn, Johnny Marr and Lisa Germano doing an interview on Dutch radio. They play three songs acoustically from this album.

Alrighty now... RP is on a true roll tonight... Neil Finn is undeniably one of the best singer song writers to come out of New Zealand (or is it Australia?)
Word has it he is working on a new album, I'll majorly be looking forward to that.

I have. And he was odd. But this one is by far the most melodious. |

I see a dog upon the road
Running hard to catch a cat
My car is pulling to a halt
The truck behind me doesn't know
Everything is in the balance
Of a moment I can't control
And your sympathetic strings
Are like the stirrings in my soul
I could go at anytime
There's nothing safe about this life
I could go at anytime
Wow thanks for the lyrics and the interpretation. That really made joyful feeling of the song hit home. |

When I hear Neil Finn, I think Crowded House, which makes me think of the life stories they sung of London and life there.....hummmm pleasant thinking, I drift along, I drift along.....
