good news about one of my favorite bands

crowded house

Crowded House 'plan world tour'

Australian and New Zealand band Crowded House are set to reform for a world tour 11 years after they spilt, according to newspaper reports.
Singer Neil Finn and bass player Nick Seymour are currently seeking drummers in Australia, with more auditions planned for New Zealand and the US.
The band's original drummer, Paul Hester, committed suicide in 2005.
Crowded House, whose hits include Distant Sun, will confirm the tour this week, New Zealand's Dominion Post said. ....

and one of my favorite songs of all time:



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

love neil finn...

hey, A Rose, check out my friend Al's Record Label in Scotland - he's got some great bands that remind me of this sound:

My fave is Keith Anderson, but the others are great as well.
