Well I'll have to keep an eye out for those videos then. Give me a holler if I miss any of them.

Any Split Enz videos you have in queue are yours. I have about 5 bookmarked, so I have plenty. I just think Neil Finn is one of the greatest pop writers ever. I've posted a few Crowded House tunes, and I'm always amazed they go nowhere. I've been writing songs for 20 years. I keep hoping I write one nearly as good as "I've Got You." Ain't going to happen. It's a divine gift those folks have.

Crowded House - Weather with You

Sixpence None the Richer - Don't Dream It's Over

Prospero says...

'Tis actually a baby Lamb and, for a pop group of an Evangelical Christian background (from the southern United States no less), the imagery has overt "religious" implications.

Moreover, I feel obliged to mention that this song has a rather ardent appreciation within the modern Evangelical culture - interpreted through a vastly different paradigm than that of its author (maestro Neil Finn). I've heard this song performed at everything from youth camps to evening Worship services.


Between the imagery of the woman (Ms. Nash) giving the Lamb to younger little girl, the strange dreamlike imagery of airplanes & parachutes, as well as the "freedom" and "peace" imagery (normally associated with socio-political activism), I gather this video represents an expression of the zeal of American religious culture towards "ministering" towards the "fallen world" of Western materialistic indulgence.

...or it could just be something that sounded cool/hip/artsy on paper, and seemed "deep" enough to convey a vague "message" without becoming overly didactic.
