This is a live version. Is it from Farewell to the World or one of the Frenz of the Enz productions? Anyone know?

An absolute GEM! The build up to the end of quite moving.

Speaking of friends at a funeral....while returning from the deep south to my Grandfather's funeral in Michigan, I'm standing there at the funeral home, during the viewing period the night before with my cousins who reign from Michigan, Oregon, and Boston....I wait for a break in the conversation and ask: "So, what are y'all fixin' to do?" Haven't lived that one down since.

A very rare not-particularly-interesting song from the Most Esteemed Crowded House.

This whole album is an 11!  I can imagine a lot of people requesting this song be played at their funeral.

I'm sure every band starts hating some of their own songs at some point. It doesn't mean that everyone else should feel the same way.

Crowed House has always been a great band. They've scored more than one spot on one or more of my shows.

Crikey! I never knew Paul Hester was gone.
Saw CH several times '91 to '93 - favourite song was always 'Italian Plastic' - one of Paul Hester's !
Might have to go and listen to it now. When and how did he die?


He hanged himself, very sad to say. A few months ago.

You're lucky! I saw them last February at the Palace in SF, but missed them this last summer, as they cancelled this leg of the tour due to Paul's passing....

I love Italian Plastic, too. he hanged himself in March. he always seemed so full of joy and life on stage...I guess he gave it all out and didn't keep any for himself.

I am still grieving the loss of Crowded House. Seeing Neil Finn is still greatly satisfying, however, Crowded House shows and albums were and are still some of the best musical experiences I have ever had... how about a reunion?

Some of the finest musical stylings by CH ever! Neil is a great lyricist but not much for music writing....his bro' is an ace at that. GET BACK TOGETHER!
