HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL............

This song was just on the radio and I just HAD to share how much I LOVE this song........I always get goose bumps when I listen to it........not sure why, but, it is one of the most hauntingly beautiful, thought provoking songs ever made........

Don't Dream It's Over (Neil Finn)

LYRICS

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 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 T.V. page

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 relief

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
Don't ever let them win

Thanks ... I've always loved it too. Never really heard the lyrics though.

Hey, Sunnygal ...

Thanks for the memories and printing out the lyrics. When I said I never "heard" the lyrics I meant that I never really caught all the words. Above is Crowded House, the original group.

hi, Chris!!! (waves) something else to share...........i'm here at work and my coworker has it tuned into a rap station..........but, we are laughing our asses off cuz they are playing hard rock!!! LOL! They just played two AC/DC songs...........(UGHHH, hate them!)

Big Tex

They just played two AC/DC songs

Hiya Terri.

All ac/dc songs sound the same. You can't tell one from the other.

I know I'm getting old because I HATE hip hop. And of course my daughter loves it.

I remember that song when I was a kid. There's alot of crappy music right now, in the Hip Hop realm there's good hip hop and bad hip hop. Trust me, there's some out there that everyone would like. I was the biggest die-hard metal/hardcore fan out there and as I got older I found some I liked. Regardless getting off topic, on this song I like these versions a bit better.
