![]() One All (2002) [ larger cover art ] |
Deadlines again
Feel like hiding out
No sign of comfort yet
Have a nap while no ones looking
Bring some inspiration to the man
In my head
A namesake out of reach
Strange days upon us now
we leave the dust of conversation
Hanging in the light above the bed
Leave me now
Cos tonight its driving me mad
I guess I'll be all right
But tonight it's driving me mad
Year after year
Demons always come
Fail to materialise
Way beyond my understanding
Find my only comfort in your hands
Hold me now
Cos tonight its driving me mad
This dream can fill you up
But tonight it's driving me mad
Hey diamond girl
Restless in my head
Say what lies between us
A host of everyday distractions
But most of all its music taking me
It's driving me mad
Still I can't refuse
Even when it's driving me mad
I guess I'll be all right
When tomorrow brings some relief
This dream can fill you up
So put it out and find what's underneath

| gandalfbmg (Thankfully now a little more than 3 mi from Paradise (Missouri)) | Posted: Nov 01, 2012 - 12:02 I always remember this as one of the first songs I discovered on RP, as I was first falling in love with this place. |
| rsfinn (Mount Airy, MD) | Posted: Sep 20, 2012 - 12:50 This is one of the songs I originally heard on RP that introduced me to Neil Finn's solo work (thanks, Bill). However, this version is not the mix on the album One All (as released in North America); I imagine it must be the version from One Nil instead...? |

| coloradojohn (Mile High on the Colorado Vibe, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Apr 22, 2012 - 13:30 Sounds REALLY good (especially after a square and a half of Dancing Bear Chocolates; Happy Earth Day!) on a sunny Sunday afternoon... AND IT'S DRIVING ME MAD I guess I'll be all right...but tonight, it's driving me mad... Can't go wrong with Neil Finn, and RP always gives me my daily dose of him and then some! |

| calypsus_1 | Posted: May 15, 2010 - 15:16 ![]() Love You 'Til The Day I Die by ~stealing-beauty ©2007-2010 ~stealing-beauty Neil Finn, playing with Crowded House at the Waterfront in Belfast on November 27, 2007. He's my hero, always will be. Seeing him and the Crowdies twice this year, and hearing all those songs that I love so much live, was a dream come true. A recurring dream... For your music, Neil, I will Love You 'Til The Day I Die. Lirael ~stealing-beauty |

| cindrocks (colorfulcolorado) | Posted: Dec 13, 2009 - 17:57 I am coming to believe Neil can do no wrong... why didn't I discover him long ago? hum... |
| RParadise (Hastings-on-Hudson, NY) | Posted: Nov 12, 2009 - 07:55 Very clever. Following Life on Mars with Driving Me Mad . . . commentary on the recently departed television show. |
| Exene (Boulder, CO) | Posted: Nov 03, 2009 - 18:30 As I get close to 11 straight hours behind this desk, I just have to say, I really needed some Neil Finn about now! THANKS! |

Some of the slower, "prettier" songs he wrote or co-wrote have some of the same elements. |

| gjeeg (Syracuse, New York) | Posted: Mar 04, 2009 - 13:04 Does songwriting ever get better than this? This is why I listen to RP! |
| von_Hayek (Duesseldorf, Germany) | Posted: Jan 23, 2009 - 07:26 Neil is surely incapable of writing weak songs. Thanks Bill! |
