Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over(#ad)
This was a track that was never supposed to reach the no.2 spot on the U.S Billboard Hot 100 singles charts around February 1987.
It did way much better than it was promoted, a criticism that will haunt Capitol Records..forever.
Crowded House was almost broke before the release of this song, which took them from rags to riches.
"Don’t Dream It’s Over" is not only their signature track but won Neil Finn the Order of the British Empire from Queen Elizabeth II along with his brother Tim for their impressive contribution to New Zealand's music industry.
The single sold more than 2 million copies around the globe and is the second best song by a New Zealander as rated by Australasian Performing Rights Association.
Even though Neil Finn has not been working on any new material of late,he is locked in a bitter property dispute with his neighbors for a $6 million centennial Auckland villa as on May 2016.
Crowded House – Don’t Dream It’s Over - Lyrics
Release Date - October 1986
Album - Crowded House
There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know that they won't win
Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion, but there's no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know that they won't win
Now I'm walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
You know that they won't win
Don't let them win
(Hey now, hey now)
(Hey now, hey now)
Hey now, hey now
Don't let them win
(They come, they come)
Don't let them win
(Hey now, hey now)
(Hey now, hey now)
