Breaks my heart every time i watch it. He was already crying before the song starts. His eyes are noticeably swollen. He looks completely crushed. They all look sad, but Paul really looks crushed. I've always wondered the extent of the impact this had on his depression and subsequent death years later.

In case anyone was wondering, this concert was on November 24th, 1996, called the "Farewell to the World". This was the last song they played, which is why the drummer, Paul Hester, was a little tearful at 2:53. In 2005, Paul committed suicide from depression - Crowded House went on to start the band back up in 2006. So this was Paul's last song he ever played with them.. RIP.

Timeless. From long long ago in a land far, far away. Just a beautiful song.

This song was popular when I was a teenage girl vacationing in Florida with my parents. I fell hardcore for a local boy. Surfer... Shoulder length sun bleached hair, deep sun tanned skin tinged with a hint of red, lips that tasted like Carmex and skin that had the most intoxicating scent of salt water and Coppertone sun tan oil. It was very much like every coming of age movie that had ever been filmed on the beach. It was also the hardest "goodbye" of my life at the time. We spent 10 fun filled, magical days just hanging out at the arcades playing pinball, swimming in the ocean, floating for what seemed like hours on his surf board and stealing kisses whenever we wanted. I can still close my eyes and smell the ocean, feel the heat of the afternoon sun on my skin, hear the intensely loud sounds of people laughing and carrying on without a care in the world. Then just like that, it ended as quickly as it had begun. I can picture that goodbye as if it happened just yesterday. I could feel the breeze on my face as I closed my eyes and he kissed my forehead, my cheeks, my lips. My parents, so understanding and patient, sat waiting in our car in the hotel parking lot. I only looked back once after I walked away from him. I left him standing with tears in his eyes on that beach. My own tears fell as I stopped at the top of the wooden staircase that gave access to the beach, turned that one last time and waved goodbye. As my parents drove us away from the beach over that beautiful bridge that leads to and from Daytona, I knew I would never see him again. For me, this song is a sweet reminder of how innocent and equally brutal teenage crushes can be. But it IS a wonderful memory of young love found and lost. I can only hope that if he ever reminisces about that summer, he smiles and thinks of me fondly.

Sadly we broke up and it was a bitter end. But I wouldn't trade that dance with her back when we were so in love for anything. Makes me cry every time I hear it.

As a youngster just moved to NYC I saw Crowded House LIVE in early Spring 1987 with a group of friends at The Bottom Line in The Village in NYC. It was toward then end of Crowded House first live American tour. This tune was climbing the music charts in the USA at the time. When Crowded House performed this tune the place went wild. EVERYONE knew the lyrics and the sing-along was AMAZING!! Just like then, the spirit of this tune lives on STRONG today! Thank you Neil Finn for introducing the World to your musical brilliance!

I've got chronic depression. I lived the best of life when this song was released, the year after I started to have episodes. Melancholia and nostalgia in a deep sense. This is what this wonderful song brings. The time I was really alive. I believed my life would be full of achievements. I sense this in the song, the sounds. Now I can function, work and earn a living. But things were never the same. Today I slept all day cause I had not to go working. I found no reason to stand and live my day as it happens every weekend. I am beat. The dream is over after fighting decades. 💔 But the song refreshes my soul. It is something notably amazing. The way it touches within is pure magic. 🙂

Hello guy, regarding comments; I meant "a great pop song", because at the time this type of music was considered so. maybe pop a few years ago was of such quality that today it is not generally recognized in this way. "Alternative Rock" is rawer, style is associated with more powerful voice distorted guitars, and rather "noise" in some cases. However, there are several songs from the same group who go by that line, but do not think "don`t dream it`s over" is the example in this case. Regards!

I started playing guitar, way b4 this song came out...and I love it...but it took me 3 months to learn the opening chords..duh.. Freedom within and Freedom without....

This was an example of the time it came from....beautiful, full of hope, serious stories of love....an explosion of talent and gifted music to all of us....time stands still with this song.

You know a song is truly a classic when those lyrics mean more today than when they were originally written.

The band knew this would be the last time they played this song together, the song that gave them so much. Couldn’t have done it any better!

This song takes me back to the days of my youth. Why do we cry when we remember Such Beautiful times and Beautiful music? Nostalgia gets us all.

What A Brilliant Audience Singing Along To This Timeless Song 🎵 " Don't Dream It's Over. Tuned In From 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

That iconic shot of Hessy at 4.28 and the little head tilt and smile through the tears - whenever I hear his name, that is the picture I see in my minds eye. RIP Paul Hester, a truly loveable Aussie larrikin :(

I love how the crowd is solely focused on the singer instead of how people now days are distracted trying to capture the moment with their phones.

I keep coming back to this video again, over and over... there will be a gap and I'll remember and come back and it's the same set of emotions each and every time. Put simply, this is one of the greatest songs ever written. Lyrically. Musically. Emotionally. While we are all mortal people, and we cannot last forever, some things are too beautiful to not. This song is one of those things... Don't dream, it's over... don't dream it's over... two ways to hear the same words, meaning two entirely different things. What I love in particular about this video is that when the song ends, they partially open it up, get the crowd singing it, and then end it again. You can feel the energy pass from the band to the crowd... It's as if Neil and Crowded House are "giving" this song to the world. It is an acknowledgment that they know they won't be here forever... but that the powerful, sublime song will live forever.

I'm 45 now. I was just a boy when I first heard this song in 6th grade if I'm not mistaken. It's one of my all time favorites.

when i heard this song for the first time...we had just move from canada to paraguay (south america) and we lived on a ranch in a very remote area: no phone, no radio or tv (1970's). We depended on tape recorders (for music in the 80´s). Many years later and having forgoten this song, i stumbled on this song again: it was so heat warming and nostalgic ... its such a great song. It brings back to many memories!

THIS is why KZread is one of my favourite sites.

This is the best, absolute best performance of all time. Don't dream it's over

I know what it's like to lose a father without saying goodbye. It's gutwrenching. You never want to say goodbye. Feel your pain

My wife and I were just dating when this came out. Everytime I hear it, it takes me right back to 1987 in Austin Texas. Good days with her.

I fucking LOVE this part of KZread. I can get trapped in it forever.

"...the band performed the Farewell to the World concert on the steps of the Sydney Opera House on 24 November 1996, which raised funds for the Sydney Children's Hospital. The concert featured the line-up of Neil Finn, Nick Seymour, Mark Hart and Paul Hester... The concert had one of the highest live audiences in Australian history with the crowd being estimated at between 120,000 and 250,000 people." (from the Crowded House wikipedia page)

This has to be the best final performance (unofficially) ever. Because when you here this song its never the end it just another day

There is freedom within There is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead Many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're travelling with me … Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win … Now I'm towing my car There's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion But there's no proof In the paper today Tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the TV page … Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win … Now I'm walking again To the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart Only shadows ahead Barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and release … Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us You know they won't win … Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now) Hey now, hey now Hey now, hey now Don't let them win (They come, they come) Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now), yeah Hey now, hey now

Wow, this brings back so many wonderful memories, and also some sadness. I wish I could go back in time and tell my friend David (who unexpectedly passed away) that he made the world a better place. He loved this song.

Great song RIP our dear Paul Hester. Gone but not forgotten

I just love that moment at 4:30 when everyone is ready for Neil to signal the last chord......and he can't let the song go, he thinks it over ....and just goes one last time. The band are not expecting it. Hester goes with it first, then Mark adds some keys. Nick lets it go and removes his bass before Neil and Paul share that final send-off. It's poetry.
