I am often asked who Neil Finn is. It always makes me sad when he isn't everyone's top musical choice, but whatever. I guess we can still be friends. However, one day, when I finally get to Karekare Beach, you'll have to prove your love to go with me.
Today you get a treat. My favorite Neil Finn songs (whether they are Crowded House, Neil Finn, Finn, Split Enz makes no difference to me), in no particular order. Hmmm. Maybe I could get my sister to do the same for Morrissey...
Fall At Your Feet
So pretty, just one of the best songs ever written. It's awesome live.
Distant Sun
Still awesome. And I can't even tell you how long this episode of Austin City Limits stayed on my TiVo. After I had permanently burned it to a couple of discs. "Feeling your desire burn as you're drawn to the flame..."
Wherever You Are
The man's use of lyrics kill me.
When You Come
Into Temptation
Possibly one of my top favorite songs ever.
Suffer Never
Fingers of Love
History Never Repeats
Ok, so it's not Neil singing, it's Eddie Vedder. I just love this version!
She Goes On
The song I want played at my funeral...
1) You misspelled his name. Shun.
ReplyDelete2) I don't know most of these songs. sorry.
3) what is up with Eddie's Finn love?
4) He looks so much like Nathan Fillion is some of these.
1. Shoot! I may shun myself for that. Fixed.
ReplyDelete2. I'll keep praying for you...
3. He's awesome?
4. Hmmm. That may explain A LOT.
1) No its not...
ReplyDelete2)If you're going to pray for me, don't waste it on that!
3)seriously...it seems like a weird cross-genre obsession to me.
4)that's what I thought!
Thanks for introducing me to your boyfriend. He's good.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all these. The man has a really special quality to his voice. Can't quite describe it, but it's definitely knee-weakening.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could do a singer-boyfriend post, but my blog isn't back up yet. Dang it. But I'd probably go with Ladyhawk:

"Saw your dark eyes shine like the city skyline"
Or Jackson Browne.
How would you handle a trip to NZ?
ReplyDeleteD
With a picture of Neil laced with Valium?
ReplyDeleteI have been weighed, measured, and found wanting.... You have educated me in his greatness! Split Enz... I love them... And if course I didn't know that included Neil Finn... You may kill me now.
ReplyDeleteOF course!
ReplyDeleteNot kill...shun mildly maybe! Kidding!
