One song I won’t even attempt to cover sitting with my guitar. It’s perfect. I enjoy it with closed eyes and a grateful heart.

Magical version of a perfect song. Whenever life gets me down this melodic masterpiece will pick me up, for this song gets me dreaming and there is most certainly hope wherever there are dreams. Thanks for the music neil for without it the world would be a darker place. Don't ever let them win.

Still listening in 2020...'Don't Dream Its Over' is timeless poetry. 'There is freedom within, there is freedom without, try to catch the deluge in a papercup...' is simpel a sentence of pure genius. It shows the strong songwriters skills of Neil Finn.

Love this version, love this song, love his voice.

This man is immortal. This song will never be forgotten. Humans have two natures; the one is to take; the other is to give. They come to build a wall between us but they won't win because the good in us keeps us inseparable from one another. Don't dream it's over. We are stronger together.

Always loved, loved, loved this. And what a smashing bloke Neil Finn is, too.

there is something in Neil Finns voice and performance that is so amazingly deep,takes to a place in my own mind that feels very calm and settled

Who can say where a song falls as #1 or #100 of all time. Critics are men and women like all of us and where they place a song is always an opinion of the listener. The point is, it's great music. Yes, I said we are all men or women, there is no in between. If we have a scrotum we are men, if a Vagina a woman. Why many make things so complicated? It's one or the other period. You can tell me or anyone else your opinion but THAT is all it is, it doesn't change the facts and I for one will call it as it appears. I don't care about opinions, only the facts. Enough said.

@@robertjohnson3855 With your point on the man and woman issue, I 100% agree with you. But why was that necessary to bring up in the comments of a music video?? Seems a bit irrelevant!

There's a mysterious perfection to this song. As a whole, I can't really pin down what it's "about." It IS dream-like. It's a magic carpet. It wants to carry you away in the best sense.

I’ve cried during the first time I’ve heard this version.

Neil Finn can sing the phone book to me! Beautiful voice❤️❤️❤️Awesome song❤️❤️

Love this song; acoustic version is even better. Damn, such a great song.

this is soo beautiful, lyrics and melody are divine...got the Best of Crowded House as a gift in my 2nd year of university...1993?? And loved it on contact and it has stayed with me thro life and grown and lived with me..couldn't be without it now...it covers every possible human emotion in such a bared to the bone but emotionally intact manner...adore it and pas it on wherever I can.....

Best version I've heard of this iconic song... IMO

This has to be maybe my absolute favourite song. I can’t put a name to the feeling I get whenever I listen to it… it’s somewhere between devastation and elation

I had the very good fortune of attending a Crowded House concert sometime in the late 80's. My friend Mike was working as a DJ for a radio station in Santa Barbara while finishing his studies at UCSB and comped some tickets from the station manager. Now, I knew a little about the band, but I had no idea how incredibly talented these guys were prior to seeing them perform life. I was, to use an overly employed term but in this case perfectly apt description, blown away. And more than the music itself, Finn was funny, charming, and very humble in his interaction with the audience. As for this song, there are very few hits you can come back to again and again that hold their initial impact; "Don't Dream It's Over" has stayed with me for 30 years, and its mystery continues to resound through the changes in cities, friends, and lovers that have come and gone.

Fabulous version. Takes me back to summer barbecues in New Zealand - someone always pulls out the guitar and eventually plays this. South Pacific influence really shines through here.

timeless tune.
