I worked with Neil on some shows in 2013/2014. They played an evening slot at Falls Festival. I vividly recall the Lorne show. The ENTIRE crowd sang along to this song. There were plenty in the crowd that weren’t even born when this song was released but still belted it out. There are rare moments in life that you recall and make the hairs on the back of neck instantly stand on end, and this is one of them. Neil is a one of a kind talent who strikes a chord with every generation.

There are just some lyrics that grab you by the nose and kick you right in the a$$…that’s one of them. As one who has tried to write songs and lyrics, you see and hear a lyric like that and immediately ask, “How am I supposed to do that?” And then, “Why can’t I think of something just a smidgeon close to that brilliant to write and sing?”

@Shawn McLaughlin My favorite artists are those who wrote powerful poetry and then put it to music. As such, Neil Finn is my favorite poet. I’m so grateful that I found his music. There were only two really successful songs of Crowded House in the US, the first being Don’t Dream It’s Over. That’s all it took for me to find them and consequently, Neil Finn. I was so glad to find videos of them on YT because I had never seen them perform.

Deborah Merkerson I already had each Split Enz album from True Colours on but did not know right away that CH was Neil’s new band. I am from the U.S. also and it seemed like the first 2 albums did very well. Woodface is their finest, IMO, but leading off with a single that sends up some of the worst parts of American culture probably wasn’t a great career move. They stopped selling in America at that point. But they are extremely popular in Europe, Australia and NZ, of course. I miss the days when the best art was also the thing that sold the most.

As someone who has had hundreds - (not thousands! ) do all most exactly this...take on your song and sing it back at you with passion and fervour - it is the strangest feeling. You would think it would be very ego boosting, but it is strangely, very very humbling. Although you write the song, when you hear it sung by others, and taken on by others, the effect is to make the song feel bigger than you, make the meaning of it to others feel bigger than its meaning to you when you wrote it, and to see yourself as a sort of very small thing that was allowed to play a part in a thing that's bigger than you. It's hard to explain. Afterward I felt sort of exhausted and drained and just needed to go and sit and be quiet for a while on my own and process it.

Incredible artist, incredible songwriter. Neil Finn is hugely under-appreciated. he wrote "Fall at Your Feet" and " Don't Dream it's Over", which qualify him as a genius. Name one artist today who is writing songs like these? No one. Add all his other stuff plus the great split Enz stuff, who is better? Pop music fame is fleeting. Flavor of the week, then quickly forgotten. Neil's songs will be remembered forever.

Colin, all I can say is right on!!!! Today's "pop" music is simplistic, tuneless, lacks harmony, and soul - in fact so much of it is just plain harsh. And don't get me going on rap..... As a musician myself, I can appreciate the fact that the beautiful melodies and harmonies Neil writes are no accident. He understands all the scales, every key, how they all relate to each other, and the complexities of music theory. Just like Bach, Beethoven, the Beatles, and so many folks from the 60's and 70's. It takes hard work and pure drudgery to learn that stuff. But when you do go through all that work, you have the foundation from which you can create magic and beauty that really touches folks. I worry about young folks today, mesmerized by their phones, thinking that that phone is the all they need to acquire the knowledge they need to get by. Sadly, wisdom and a true sense of what is beautiful seems to have been left in a dust heap somewhere.

just don't know what it is about this song. Maybe that is the point. I was there in my 90ies prime when it was released. I liked it. It kind of validated my insisting that those Dont Dream its Over guys are much more than Midnight Oil. Or whatever. Sure, Weather With You was the MTV seal of approval. And Dont Dream... the legacy. The perfect song. Some smart pro music business people have actually called Dont Dream... one of the best songs ever. Right up there with Every Breath You Take. And Johnny and Mary (ha ha - but it is brillant). So where does this leave Fall at Your Feet? Whenever my nostalgic buzz leads me to the classic Dont Dream... I end up in a KZitem playing ratio of 1:5. OMG this is a wonderful song. For the ages. Like love:-) PS. Both Dont and Fall have perfect distinct intros. Well done.
