Today’s song is the classic 80’s pop ballad Don’t Dream It’s Over by Crowded House (learn more). A great song, from a really good pop album, by a really good pop band. You can see the video below. This song reached number 27 in the UK, number 8 in Australia, number 6 in Norway, number 2 in the US, and number 1 in Canada. The video earned the band the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist in 1987. They broke up in 1996 but reformed in 2007 with a top-notch comeback album. The musical world had changed but their sound remains true. Their warm sound and melancholy pop hooks make them a band to treasure and make this song a classic.

One of the (many) all time good songs from one of the (many) all time good bands. Even their recent reunion CD was exquisite.
