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

The odd times we slip
And slither down the dark hall
Fingers point from old windows
An eerie shadow falls
I'm walking on the spot
To show that I'm alive
Moving every bone in my body
From side to side

Will we be in our minds when the dawn breaks
Can we look the milkman in the eye
The world is somehow different, you have all been changed
Before my very eyes

Walk around your home
Pour yourself a drink
Fire one more torpedo, baby
Watch the kitchen sink
You're lounging on the sofa, maybe
See the living room die
The dishes are unwashed and broken
All you do is cry

See the living room die
The dishes are unwashed and broken
All you do is cry
