One of Bowie’s best, which is really saying something, performed by one of the world’s best ballad writers and performers. You could parachute this man into any city in the world carrying nothing but a guitar and he’d draw a crowd in minutes

I was a fan of Split Enz from first contact, which happened for me in 1979 or 1980 or thereabouts at the age of 9 or 10, living in the cultural wasteland of Perth, Australia. Would still rate _Message To My Girl_ as one of the greatest songs ever written. Musically and lyrically flawless.

I love how certain guitar players are so distinctive you can't mistake them for anyone else. When I hear this acoustic version, I realize how true this is of Neil. No production or accrutriment and that distinctive sound is there. I loves it.

Simple , Direct , Natural... Brillant !!!

Neil Finn and Crowded house didn’t get the accolades they deserved. Amazing song writers and performers. “Intriguer “ and “Time on Earth” are masterpieces. Every song great. Oh and “Together Alone” too ...

Thank you Neil and thanks too to Sharon for the expert camerawork. These sessions are little oases of warmth and delight in the barren wasteland of corona isolation. I feel privileged to be part of the Fang Gang. Sending love and strength to all the Finn family members and their fans. ❤️

I am a massive David Bowie fan, and a Massive Neil Finn fan, what an absolute treat. FAB Neil, thank you x

I can't think of a better person to cover this song. I feel Neil captured Bowie's spirit and emotion with this cover - one of my favorite Bowie songs. Thank you Neil.

I have carried this music through my life at good times and bad, youth - birth of my daughter-middle age and now whatever late 50’s is and it is still as vital and important to me than the first time I heard it….thank you for making my life significantly better Neil !

One of the best song writers does a great job on Bowie. He's my hero.
