I love it when Neil says "the birds talk to me if I get down on my knees" He is such the bomb as a songwriter. It's like, where did he get that from.. deep!
This song is a romantic curse. Sang it at my brother's wedding. She stole more than his heart. It's still a beautiful piece of work. Birds r talking to me.. I'm gonna listen:) ..............
on a sad note, some parts of this song are haunting as they make me think of paul hester's death. lines such as " the birds come back to the park to talk " and " highest branch on the apple tree was my favourite place to be " and the chorus remind me of it as paul died in a park and he had spent a lot of time in the park before he killed himself and it makes me wonder what went through his mind. so i feel like crying when i hear this song, but it is a brilliant song too.
Great find. I remember this concert - I still have my shirt. The Opera House forecourt was crowded so much people were sitting all around Circular Quay listening. A night I will never forget.
Love and joy and sorrow and mortal tethers of time...may your private universe become joy for every microcosmos in tears of hunger, cold, and beginners and music maestros and maestras.
wow... looking at the comment of those saying they just seen them recently really is a great thing to hear. I thought they had disappeared. These guys are extremely talented. I adore their music. :D
The bass is awesome!! Specially in the outro part, at the end of the song. Crowded House is such an incredible and versatile band. The final part isis an incredible piece of progessive rock. the sound menisd me a bot of Depeche Mode at their best times. And the Lyrics... cheers!!
Neil named this as his favourite song he ever wrote.
Couldn't agree more.
Did he? It's my favorite song of him as well. And he wrote so many great songs. In Split Enz also.
Great song! Outstanding musicians! The stars aligned when these 4 got together. Paul Hester, such talent, so greatly missed!
Qaa
Mark Hart on that lap steel is amazing.. that gurgling wah sounds amazing
I still can't believe Paul is no longer with us. Such a loss and sadly missed.
R.I.P fella.
Still listening in 2022. Love this song so much
When New Zealand and Australia get together creatively magic happens
Also America because of Mark Hart

Totally agreed 🙏
Even Paul McCartney said he wished he had his songwriting skills, do a lil research I'm not lying🙏
@@kevinpieroerentxun6650 I know I saw that in an interview too.

Just a brilliant song and vocal. Under rated song writer. The guy wrote nothing but magic
Underrated 😂
Brilliant band, brilliant song. I really miss Crowded House - such great music.

Amazing song ... haunting..... Crowded House songs ... have been so inspirational, to me

Best live song I have ever seen.
Mr. Finn and company do not disappoint. Ever. Miss Paul Hester greatly. Adore Neil Finn.
One of my favorite songs by them, along with four seasons in one day.
Love Crowded House, especialy "Private Universe" !
Lovely song - my all-time favourite Crowded House song.
Great song . .

I love this song ✨❤
They opened with this in Glasgow last night ... and it was utterly bloody brilliant.
Set the tone for a fantastic gig!
Unsung guitar legend that guy playing slide guitar

It all came together in his song.

They played this during their Chicago show this year, still blowing people awa
Saw them under a full summer moon outdoors in Oregon. Transcendent.

They opened with this in Glasgow last night ... utterly bloody brilliant.
I wish I was there for this.
I was just to the left of the stage.
Another ethereal classic from CH! Neil Finn has been one of my biggest songwriting influences.
Excellent version of a great song
Saw them In Glasgow 2008, fair well tour. Amazing
Eu amo essa música
the best chorus to exist on this planet
This song, one of their best, has incredible atmosphere but the acoustic version on Afterglow is even better, imho.
Nick Seymour is an absolute star
@torqueingheads some of the best lyrics of all time there!
Im looking for the farewell to the world DVD somewhere in NSW Australia does anyone know where i can get it?
Not wrong!! I was just to the left of the stage.
Yes.
It's Beatle approved. By me.
... Feck???...Are you from Scotland?

Yeah!
Tell me you're not teasing.
I don't why sometimes i get frightened.
No,i've never heard of them.
