Biography

Crowded House are a rock band formed in Melbourne, Australia, in 1985 but based in Auckland, New Zealand, since 1988. Originally active from 1985 to 1996. The founding members were New Zealander [a102974] (vocalist, guitarist, primary songwriter) and Australians [a257794] (drums) and [a257797] (bass). Later band members included Neil Finn's brother [a247008], [a437425] and Americans [a418822] and [a847062]. Mark Hart who had toured with the group joined as a permanent member in 1993. Founding drummer Hester left the band in May 1994 citing family reasons. He briefly returned for their "Farewell to the World" concerts in Melbourne and Sydney in 1996 and also played on three new tracks recorded for the album "Recurring Dream" (1996). His replacement was Peter Jones who remained with the group until they disbanded in 1996. On 26 March 2005, Hester died by suicide. In 2006, the group re-formed with new drummer Matt Sherrod and released two further albums in 2007 and 2010. In November 2016 they were inducted into the ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Hall of Fame. On 9 December 2019, Neil Finn unveiled via his official web site that the band's new line-up - alongside himself and Seymour - would add [a55974], [a592970] and [a842515]. As a result, Mark Hart and Matt Sherrod would no longer participate. Although other New Zealand solo acts have topped the US charts, the group hold the distinction of being the only New Zealand band to have made it to #2 in the US Billboard Singles chart, with their single "Don't Dream It's Over".

LYRICS

I've been locked out
I've been locked in
But I always seem to come back again
When you're in that room
What do you do?
I know that I will have you in the end
And the clouds
They're crying on you
Snd the birds are offering up their tunes
In a shack as remote as a mansion
You escape into a place where nothing moves

And I've been locked out
And I know we're through
But I can't begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long
For the walls to crack
But I know that I will one day have you back

And the hills
Are as soft as a pillow
And they cast a shadow on my bed
And the view
When I look through my window
Is an altarpiece I'm praying to
For the living and the dead

Twin valleys shine in the morning sun
I send a message out to my only one

Yet I've been locked out
And I know we're through
But I can't begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long
For the walls to crack
But I know that I will one day have you back
(Yes, I will)

And I work
Like bees in the honey
Every night I circle like the moon
It's an act
Of simple devotion
But it can take forever
When you've got something to prove
