I've listened to this song a million times, and I can never EVER get sick of the bridge harmonies, and Nick's falsetto on the 'I fall' part is absolutely breath taking!
I am from Germany and I wasn´t to able watch Live Earth on TV on 2007. So I decided to look now what happened. And I have to admit the best audience and the best concert was seen in Australia. I like watching CH and now I know Eskimo Joe and Missy Higgins who are (both) totally unknown in Germany. It´s great to hear the people sing togehter with Finn and it was a great final when Missy, Wofmother, Jack Johnson, Butler e.g. entered the stage. Go on Oz.
Does Neil Finn realise how this song nails me to the wall every time I hear it? So brilliant. One of the best songwriters of our time......of any time.
I still can't get over that their big farewell was the opera house show and their re-entry with the worldwide stage/audience of Live Earth was even bigger than that. Karmic bookends in a way.
What a fantastic band. Always loved them and got to see them in Birmingham this week, it was amazing! Brilliant audience participation and humble words from such a talented singer/songwriter Neil Finn. So glad they're back! Thanks for the video anyswe :o)
I am of John Lennon's generation. Neil is a beautifully powerful songwriter with lots of Beatles influence in his music. I am very moved by his songs. John would approve very much! Go Neil.
Thank you, belatedly. Yes, he leads the crowd with a gentle hand. A Beautiful version, Neil Finn always makes each performance of his songs a unique rendering and this is no exception. Hearing each one it always sounds perfect, just right and the only way it could be. Very creative individual. I also noticed on this his reaction turning around at about 0:45 seconds when the drummer does a cymbal crash. On the original studio recording the drums are a symphony of simplicity, sparse, where the slightest snare tap moves the song thoughtfully along (the snare at the end of the second verse in the original at the space in "I'll be waiting when you call...When ever I fall..." are a mastery of understatement and so worth the wait)....the drums on this are very good but different, almost and ever so slightly busy....just a thought I had. Again, it's beautiful on it's own, as they all are. Thanks again...
I desperately tried to get tickets to see them at The Troubadour in L.A. with no luck. But I'm seeing them in Chicago next month. Can't wait! Neil Finn is a consummate showman - one of the best in the biz. Thanks for this clip, mate!
I remember watching this Live On Line as it went out, would have Loved to have been there, Esp when the kept playing when the stage lights were turned of at the end
craking video....couple of keys lower than when I saw them live many years back but still a quality perfomance and such a great great song ...thank you for sharing ...Jonny Reyn
I've got a smile as wide as the equator! That sing-a-long with the crowd at the end was just amazing... I had goosebumps! Neil Finn and Crowded House are incredible! One of the best bands of all time!
You may like the live acoustic version with crowd joining in that I found a while ago. Not the done thing to add links, but if you search ' live at st. james fall at your feet - crowded house ' it should be near the top of the search.
Wow! I forgot how moving this song was. Love songs are tough because love is the #1 topic that is written about. But, every so often a song rises above the fray. Nice job.
saw this live online too and love how they just kept going when the lights went out -- really moving performance -- so great live and their recent album is great
he thinks it's funny that he sang it at Nicole and Keiths wedding considering it's a song written about having an argument with his own wife ;) but nonetheless, to me it will always be the most mind blowing Crowded House song to date.
how fucking cool is this band?? i prefer this version to the album purely coz it's alot more moving and gets the point across pure and straight, and the bit at the end gives me SHIVERS its that powerful, hall of fame open the doors for Niel!!!
I'm really close tonight And I feel like I'm moving inside her Lying in the dark I think that I'm beginning to know her Let it go I'll be there when you call And whenever I fall at your feet Won't you let your tears rain down on me? Whenever I touch your slow turning pain You're hiding from me now There's something in the way that you're talking The words don't sound right But I hear them all moving inside you Know I'll be waiting when you call Hey, whenever I fall at your feet Won't you let your tears rain down on me? Whenever I touch your slow turning pain The finger of blame has turned upon itself And I'm more than willing to offer myself Do you want my presence or need my help? Who knows where that might lead I fall Whenever I fall at your feet Won't you let your tears rain down on me? Whenever I touch your slow turning pain Whenever I fall (at your feet) Whenever I fall
They are most certainly still together and doing a couple of shows down under in Sydney in November...maybe they'll tour again in 2017. Saw them in 2007 in Canada...they were great.
@cheatmaster781 Yes, that's Matt Sherrod, he drummed for Beck, is officially in Crowded House, and is currently working with John Mayer's old bassist, David LaBruyere on some Sons of Summer stuff during Neil's Pajama Club tour.
When they played at the Opera house there were road blocks for 8 hours. Everyone in the whole country knew it was a moment to be seen. So I say to you man, next time get the blue bus.
I don't get why this question got negative votes. It was a legit question--was Matt Beck's drummer? And the answer is yes. Nothing negative about that.
yeah man just a shame i cant find an actual recording of it though, it would be great to have this on mp3! but you have done one hell of an influential favour by posting this well flippin done!!
Ma io non ho detto che James Blunt è migliore dei Crowded. Ho detto solo che io preferisco la sua versione di questa canzone (gusto personale) e la mia affermazione del "non capite niente" era riferita agli insulti sul modo di cantare di James Blunt, non per il fatto che preferiate i Crowded (cosa accetabilissima) -- I said you don't understand because they insulted James Blunt music, not because they (and you) prefer Crowded to James (It' normal)
This song brings me in tears
I've listened to this song a million times, and I can never EVER get sick of the bridge harmonies, and Nick's falsetto on the 'I fall' part is absolutely breath taking!
Incredible song, one of my favourites. Really under-rated band.
Was at Live Earth sydney. I was there and it was an incredible concert. Crowded house and in particular Niel Finn are unreal!
I am from Germany and I wasn´t to able watch Live Earth on TV on 2007. So I decided to look now what happened. And I have to admit the best audience and the best concert was seen in Australia. I like watching CH and now I know Eskimo Joe and Missy Higgins who are (both) totally unknown in Germany.

Go on Oz.
Melted. So pure.
wow 💓💓
good song and video.every time I watch the video.all my tears start falling.😢😢😢😢😰😰😰😰
Does Neil Finn realise how this song nails me to the wall every time I hear it? So brilliant. One of the best songwriters of our time......of any time.
Nothing could ever amount to the talent Neil Finn has.
I could watch this over and over and never be bored.
I still can't get over that their big farewell was the opera house show and their re-entry with the worldwide stage/audience of Live Earth was even bigger than that. Karmic bookends in a way.
What a fantastic band. Always loved them and got to see them in Birmingham this week, it was amazing! Brilliant audience participation and humble words from such a talented singer/songwriter Neil Finn. So glad they're back! Thanks for the video anyswe :o)
I just saw them in Vienna. Had me from the first second. Great band, especially live!
I am of John Lennon's generation. Neil is a beautifully powerful songwriter with lots of Beatles influence in his music. I am very moved by his songs. John would approve very much! Go Neil.
All these years later and i still get the chills when I hear this song......❤

too much symbol for sure…

What an incredible band.....WHY AREN'T YOU THE BIGGEST BAND IN THE WORLD TODAY?
I've got a smile as wide as the equator! That sing-a-long with the crowd at the end was just amazing... I had goosebumps! Neil Finn and Crowded House are incredible! One of the best bands of all time!

it's mark, matt, liam and neil. basically everyone but nick sings the bridge. (nick harmonizes on the "i faaaall" though)
Yeah, man... Superb! It always brings tears to my eyes...
if liked this song, check out the Sydney Opera House gig. The whole country of Australia absolutely loves these guys.
Great song, true kiwi legends.
Mark Hart's harmony in the bridge.... my gosh, I can't get over it. so good.
@flapjack1228 It's not a Les Paul. It's a Gretsch Duojet or similiar model.
Wow! I forgot how moving this song was. Love songs are tough because love is the #1 topic that is written about. But, every so often a song rises above the fray. Nice job.
Very nice, this performance is great, this whole was great, thanks for the post! =]
This is just an amazing song, the melody is fantastic......
Great performance!
This is the magic that genius and music only can deliver
beautiful! personal preference is a female vocalist for background vocals
Live version sounds better to me than studio recording .
Great song ❤️
4given7x I think that of just about every live version of every Crowded House song on youtube! :)
saw this live online too and love how they just kept going when the lights went out -- really moving performance -- so great live and their recent album is great
Esta canción es hermosa.
❤

I love how the audience sings along!
@anyswe On 26 March 2005, aged 46, Hester committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree in a park near his home. his name Paul Hester....
Does anyone know how the singer/guitarplayers amplifier is tuned? I guess clean and with delay, but can anyone give it to me more specified?
I'm more than willing to offer myself. That's just serving the other person and being there for them.
Hmmm, you've placed a ;) there, but you just don't make such a remark! Blasphemy, that's what that is! ;)
I'm really close tonight
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Know
I'll be waiting when you call
Hey, whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall
Whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
Whenever I fall (at your feet)
Whenever I fall
He always did play it with the capo at the third fret.. if you check other videos you'll see
I would love to see this band live. Shame they are not together.Pay proper good money to see them.Levellers are great live.
They are most certainly still together and doing a couple of shows down under in Sydney in November...maybe they'll tour again in 2017. Saw them in 2007 in Canada...they were great.
Saw them last week it was Amazing!
left handed drummers....grrr! :)
I love the vocal harmony on the chorus
Beautiful! Thanks for offering this out to us fans. This is such a touching song for me.
God bless all. Paul Hester - your energy is everywhere now.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
James Blunt can sing better than lot of other singers...maybe you should listen to him before saying he can't sing!
@cheatmaster781
Yes, that's Matt Sherrod, he drummed for Beck, is officially in Crowded House, and is currently working with John Mayer's old bassist, David LaBruyere on some Sons of Summer stuff during Neil's Pajama Club tour.
neil finn is seriously amazing.
@Riekeyou Wow I didn't know they were very popular in Sweden.
Best. Band. Ever.
Saw them first time 20 yrs ago in a small club in Boston and 3x since. Never cease to amaze.
I was thinking the same thing... just a touch to fast...
I love when the entire crowd sings! Magical!
@cheatmaster781 yes it is. He is now in Crowded House
It's a rare occasion these days when a song makes a 15 year old cry.
this one is enough to bring tears to my eyes...
the sing along is just superb.
wow that was good
LOVE THIS
Er, isn't this in the same key as the original...
Thank you, Andreas, for posting this. I've loved CH for years and it's a pleasure to see this performance. Sound is great, too!
I missed it!
Very good!
But I prefer the James Blunt version ;)
Is this recorded on swedish television? q:
@Funked Up He uses the Boss Vibrato pedal
@cheatmaster781
Yes he is, now full-time member of Crowded House.
@cheatmaster781 It is yes, Matt Sherrod.
@cheatmaster781 Yes it is, Matt Sherrod
Non capite proprio niente di musica allora...
anbody know what modulation pedal he is using at 1:25?
Linda. 😘😘😘
anyone know where I can get just the audio for this?
I'm in love with it.
Yes it is.
When they played at the Opera house there were road blocks for 8 hours. Everyone in the whole country knew it was a moment to be seen. So I say to you man, next time get the blue bus.
Oh, beautiful song......💖
I don't get why this question got negative votes. It was a legit question--was Matt Beck's drummer? And the answer is yes. Nothing negative about that.
yes it is, it's matt sherrod
yeah man just a shame i cant find an actual recording of it though, it would be great to have this on mp3! but you have done one hell of an influential favour by posting this well flippin done!!
Love the girl waving her videophone back and forth with the crowd -- makes me dizzy just thinking about watching that played back!
amazing
V. GOOD audio and video, just an amazing song with a brilliant performance.
P.S. This song is pretty easy to play on acoustic guitar and sounds great.

Just saw them at the Tabernacle in Atlanta. Neil Finn and band delivered.
oh my god chills, just chills
I thought the same thing when I first saw him with Crowded House. I looked into it, it is.
Neil Finn is an amazing song writer. His lyrics are so intricate, he truly is a poet. His words transcend time.
yay im going to see them it is going to be brilliant!!!
Does anyone know where i can find the whole show on DVD ?
James Blunt...okay um no. Lets see him write a song that can move so many people?
Loved it 20 years ago, love it now!!
Thanks for posting this beautiful song.
bet nobody on earth dislikes this song.brilliant.
Rare
love love love this song :) every word gives me butterflies and flutters down my back amazing one of those songs can do that :)
I married my wife to this song as it is perfect.
He's only 51 though

I was there. Awesome!
Wonderful crowd 😭😭
