Finn

[gerbie]

Neil Finn wrote one of the best songs I know. I think it can easily be described as the best song the Beatles never wrote. A lot of you might not know him, but he was in Split Enz. , later in Crowded House and since made a few solo albums. To me he's one of those artists who never gets a hardcore following, but is appreciated by a lot of people. I for me, never realised how good he actually was, until I started to think about the good songs he wrote. His colleagues apparently do know the secret: in Auckland, near his hometown on the north island of New Zealand he did a few concerts with a band consisting of Johnny Marr, two Radiohead members, Eddie Vedder and other celebrities. He will tour more, unfortunately I will have left Perth by the time he gets here. If you have the chance, GO, you won't regret it. The words to the song mentioned before are here:


Into temptation - Crowded house (Neil Finn)

You opened up your door
I couldn't believe my luck
You in your new blue dress
Taking away my breath
The cradle is soft and warm
Couldn't do me no harm
You're showing me how to give

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation
In a muddle of nervous words

The guilty get no sleep
In the last slow hours of morning
Experience is cheap
I should have listened to the warning

but the cradle is soft and warm...

Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into your wide open arms
No way to break this spell
