In the 80s an up and coming band was looking to create the best album of their time. They finished half the album and took a break to gain some perspective on what they’s just written. From that break came a massive hit that started as a fast song but when it was slowed down and played on a piano instead of a guitar it became one of the most heart wrenching rock ballads of the late 80s. Michael Hutchence and Andrew Farris and Andrew Ferriss wrote most of the band hits including Need You Tonight, New Sensation, Suicide Blonde, and What You Need but they took the 4th single from their legendary 1988 record Kick called Neve Tear Us Apart to a whole new level! Which has only grown in status since Michael Hutchence’ untimely death.. It was played at his funeral. In this exclusive interview. founding band member and songwriter Andrew Ferriss tells the story of this hit and of the album from 1988. How Michael Hutchence was once complimented by Ray Manzarek of the Doors said Michael was the closest thing he’d seen to Jim Morrison. and how Michael took the vocal from Never Tear us Apart from 0-10 in seconds and made it legendary. and how when Andrew had grown sick of the song, 80,000 sports fans singing it in unison changed him…

I’m excited to bring you another episode from our series Revelations- where featured artists reveal rare stories about their biggest songs, along with fascinating insight about their careers.
On this installment of Revelations, one of the 80s greatest songwriters gives us the real story behind an all time rock ballad. I was fortunate to have a great Zoom Session with INXS co-founder and co-writer Andrew Farriss. andrew is an amazingly talented multi-instrumentalist… Along with Michael Hutchence, Andrew co-wrote most of INXS’s biggest hits including NEED YOU TONIGHT, NEW SENSATION, WHAT YOU NEED, SUICIDE BLONDE AND TODAY’S FEATURE Never Tear Us Apart…
Andrew and Michael Hutchence had a unique chemistry and the 80s wouldn’t be the same without the indelible music of INXS. Early on, even before they had a hit, Ray Manzarek of the doors heard INXS play and told Andrew Farris that Michael Hutchence reminded him of Jim Morrison. And it’s true. Micheal Hutchence was undoubtedly Morrisonsesque, one of the greatest frontman in music history. Up next Andrew tells us the story of that chemistry and how iNXS created Kick the 1987 blockbuster including the fierce and heartwrenching 1988 rock balls Never Tear us Apart.
