Paul did a Facebook live chat where he was asked about this to which he said it was false. This is excerpt from the article I found: McCartney also confirmed in the over-30 minute chat that the long-running rumour he once referred to Crowded House frontman, Neil Finn, as the world's greatest songwriter is false. After being teased by Minchin that he doesn't even like Finn's music, McCartney joked back, "I didn't say that. I don't, but I didn't say that… I love his songs actually."

Crowded House’s “Fall at Your Feet” focuses on the writer’s desire to have a deeper and more intimate relationship with a particular woman. As it appears in the lyrics, this woman may be going through some kind of pain, which is why the writer keeps reassuring her of his presence and willingness to help her get through it. Peace out.

So happy you gave Don't Dream it's Over a shout. My favourite lyric of all time is "Now I'm walking again, to the beat of a drum, and I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart"

In Australia we call this "easy listening" music, and there are radio stations dedicated to this kind of music.

Woodface is one of the best albums of all time. Crowded House are brilliant!

Fall at your feet was a gift from God🙌👌

Their 'best of' compilation 'Recurring Dream' is simply one of the greatest albums of all time. Especially if you get the one with the bonus disc, which has live versions of a whole bunch of album tracks. That's where I fell in love with more obscure songs like 'In My Command' and the super-moody 'Hole In The River'. They really shine in the live setting.

Crowded House were always best live. The chemistry and banter between the guys on stage was so genuine and hilarious, especially when Paul Hester in the band. Hessie was a wonderful human being; so funny and loved by everyone who knew him. But he had demons of depression, and they overcame him one day and he took his own life.

@starshake8998

2 жыл бұрын

Agreed. He's also the only famous person I've ever made physical contact with. (He zanily high-fived everyone in the front two rows on our side of the stage when my besties and I saw them in concert in 1987. We were 15.) I was so crushed two decades later when I found out he was gone, because I didn't hear the news right away and had spent an entire year after the fact looking forward to introducing my jazz drummer boyfriend to his playing the next time the band came through on a tour. It's weird feeling that someone is very much alive and being happy about it for so long -- imagining more experiences of / life with them in it -- when in reality, their life has long-since come to a tragic end. I honestly had no idea he struggled with depression until that moment. It's always the clowns who fool us. 💔😥

One of my very favorite songs by crowded House, I was so impressed with it when I first heard it, I thought to myself how in the hell isn't this a top 10 US hit? Just a great smooth song, Neil Finn is a great songwriter no question

Neil is a genius.

The harmonies in this song feel like a meditation..... the song just washes over you and leaves you uplifted gently, but cleansed somehow.... Love it.

Crowded House is touring the states in the next couple months! I have seen them multiple times live; my absolute favorite band! They put on the most amazing show. They get the audience involved, there are sing-alongs, people usually throw balled up paper on stage with song request. It’s totally interactive and it’s amazing and such a great time! And when I mention sing alongs, it’s no joke. They will play low and slow for 15 minutes while the audience sings. It’s brilliant and almost euphoric watching them perform live.

Crowded house is the ultimate chill out sing along music, love them so much!

You are so generous in your reactions, kindness is key. You have a wide appreciation of alot of music.

This is still the tip of the iceberg. You're going to love Better Be Home Soon, Four Seasons In One Day (undoubtedly inspired by my home city's weather patterns), Something So Strong, Distant Sun, the list goes on. Then you'll get into Split Enz. Now talking about music innovation.

Love both Fall At Your Feet and Holding Back The Years.

I’m so glad that you enjoyed this classic. I agree, the harmony is truly special. Another wonderful song that showcases their harmony is Four Seasons In One Day.

Best songwriter ever in my opinion, into temptation is probably my favorite.

Can't wait to see them live in the next month or so at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne.

I bought this CD when It 1st came out,great album.

One of my all time favourite groups. Great reaction!!!!

You would really love their song All I ask. It is absolutely beautiful.

Simply Red was a funk singer early in his career who was really into old soul music and went that direction later. Great artist in his own right. This is my favorite Crowded House song and Neil Finn has made great catchy, sing-along songs since the beginning of his career. But with awesome thoughtful lyrics to go with that catchy pop sensibility. Huge fan.

if you get a chance go see them live, the audience sings every song, it is total magic

Love watching your reactions, didn't even notice there was no video. Love this song!

He loves her so much that he will do anything to free her from anguish, even taking blame for her faults. Now I’m crying on a bus. Stop it lol

Neil was born and raised in a town about 20 mins drive from where I live. As strange as it sounds it made me realize people from New Zealand could produce beautiful things as well as anyone if we want.

Hey TSR - really enjoy your reactions, good stuff. If you like harmonies and well crafted songs - check out a group called the Jayhawks...thoughtful songs, great harmonies, catchy. Like Crowded House, only from Minneapolis. Try "Everybody Knows", "Save it for a Rainy Day", "Quiet Corners", "Blue" to start.

Tim Finn's backing vocal raises this song to an even higher level.

Your e a pleasure to listen/ watch man , brilliant John (NZ)

Crowded House were and still are FANTASTIC live and at any point during a concert you'd feel like they'd all of a sudden decided to change everything up and do something completely different. Not just songs mind you, but they'd stop and have a paper plane contest or a bit of banter with the audience - especially involving the original drummer, Paul Hester (RIP) who was extremely charismatic. They were also big on audience participation - a classic example being with Fall At Your Feet at a concert in Amsterdam 2010. There's a great version of KZread that you should watch (just in your own time, not necessarily as a reaction) that goes for about 9 minutes, with a bit of banter between the band at the start, then they sing the song and after it finishes they then teach the harmony parts to the audience and get them to all sing. To they ANY audience to do this can be a challenge, yet alone a Dutch crowd as they are typically quite reserved. You can find the full version here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/amiOlJtmj9Dagso.html where the audience participation begins around 5:45, otherwise you can see just that parts from a backstage view in another video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/p2WV3Lh7db2eoaw.html

Jesse Cook also has a beautiful rendition of Fall at your feet, which is worth listening to get another perspective of this song.
