Hard to believe it's already been 9 years since this enchantingly endearing album came out!  Still sounds mighty fine!

I have two fins and none is my brother. True is, I am not a stingray, I am a shark!

A long secret finally lifted!

Thank you!

but the drum (machine?) and the bass-line is really making me...eat backwards.

at first I thought: "savage garden? on rp? please, noooo way!"

btw: this is the very first song on rp that makes me feel unpleasant while listening...and thar's a really straaaaange experience...
 

You are 100% right, Nadinchen - you're just a Teeny!

Stop talking about things you have no clue about!

For the detractors: Drive through that gorgeous country sometime with the Finns playing on the radio.

Good - I agree!
(and I like them anyway).

Still - compare to "WOODFACE".

Saw the boy's in concert a few years ago.  Neil is a great talent. His brother Tim, that's another story.

Neil Finn is one of the best songwriters of the last 50 years his music ( including crowded house) is the type that you can listen to over and over again and get something new about it his lyrics are full of meaning sometimes it takes a few listens but well worth the effort. Crowded House are touring this summer check them out!
 
I saw them live a couple of years ago. Absolutely awesome great show. Neil Finn is very engaging and the band is amazing. Go see!!

Remembered Split Enz and though they were good.... Crowded House - quietly grows on you ...... Finn Brothers re-unite once again and they just get better or is it that my musical tastes are maturing ?????

Saw them live last year and they were fantastic. Excellent songcrafters.

They exemplify that sometimes pop music can attain greatness, comlexity and melody.

Probably the #1 melody of the year...one of the catchiest songs of the year by far...most of the album is excellent!

I like some other songs much better than this particular one.
But, having said that, I could listen to Neil sing about anything and be content.
Not everything can be the best....
There couldn't even be a best without the rest.
