Original Demo of Don't Dream It's Over.

Gassage

This is my favourite song of all time- here's the original demo. I was astounded to learn Neil Finn claims he wrote it in 30 minutes.

I kinda believe him.

Neil Finn in all his guises over the years Split Enz/CH/Finn Brothers/Solo has always made really special understated music.  

A very special musician indeed.

Sublime. One of my all time favourite songs.

I was in tears when this farewell gig was broadcast, very nearly 20 years to the day and I believe the last song Paul Hester played with the band. Powerful on so many levels.

Brilliant song & superb songwriter.
