Crowded House - Fingers Of Love Lyrics

This is one of their least cheese factor songs. Very gritty! Love it

U had to be in the UK in the 90s to get it it was a moment in time but that said crowded house are top draw but wasnent for the masses in the 90s noel and niel both respect each other you know and both were heavily influenced by the Beatles

Colour is it's own reward

Pure Brilliance

Purealternative FM Request Rock Show tonight Request for Paul

Not only an amazing singer..but an amazingly haunting voice!!!

Transports me back to the mid 90's when I was really into this album and in a great relationship with someone who I unfathomably broke up with. A great time filled with a tinge of regret.

Epic music.... dear to my heart

Haven't heard this in forever.

Simply masterpiece; one of the best songs ever written...

still rate this band, great songs and beautiful lyrics

great song great band greetings from croatia

The best lyrics of all time :)

Tragic, to think that while Oasis, a fourth rate tribute act, were being grossly over indulged in the music media, Crowded house produced 2 back to back albums as good as The Beatles , to only moderate acclaim. All life is absurd...

Personally I don't like it when Crowded House are compared to the Beatles. It's very unfair. Sure they're great and made good songs/albums but they're no Crowded House.

​@CRACKEN GEEK PRODUCTIONS Thought that was going in a different direction for a second XD. Good save!

4th rate? You gotta be on drugs. But Crowded House are a superb band

Stunningly beautiful

I can feel this song as if it moves through me.

In 1995 I had horriffic back surgery. I thught I would die from the pain. I ye da rned for it. Then I listened to a Crowded House album I ad. Fingers of Love was on it. Boy, I sure could escape the Hell my of my pain--racked-body-trap. Gratefull beyind words or measure. Lovd.

Even though they were a pretty big band, I still think they were under-rated. This song is perfect. Lyrically, musically. Perfect

Beautiful song beautiful band!😍

An ode to onanism

just lovely!

ethereal!

beautiful. ..so beautiful. how quickly time passes

Don't do drugs kids. Every time I find out who this song's by I'm surprised to find it's not Blur. It's like a time-loop out here.

balucious the wildhearts man.

respect. sometimes you gotta get through what you gotta go through, huh?

@Paul - Yup. But sometimes you gotta know what you want before you can get through what you gotta through.
And there's no way out but through!

Don't do drugs kids. Every time I find out who this song's by I'm surprised to find it's not Blur. It's like a time-loop out here.

"color is its own reward" pure art!

"I hear the endless murmur, every blade of grass shivers in the breeze." Pure poetry.

Simply sublime

+Athanasios M I agree, brilliant song, pain and suffering and wrapped in a cloud of love and hope.

played at my best friends funeral several years ago... means so much to me...

Probably my fav CH song, ever

drumheadthe1st mine too. Magical. God its good.

I love this song

"Through waves of joy and clarity a fallen angel walked on the sea, and I'm playing in the shallow water laughing while the mad dog sleeps." Now THAT is poetry! These lyrics grant permission for people with mental illness to love,  and to appreciate the extremes of human emotional experience. 

+Moderately Minimalist During our mortal lives there are rare, fleeting moments where there is a thought process or a spark of sheer enlightenment that resonates with the collective memory of mankind.  A brief moment in time in which the light we bask tells of another world; a world where all individuals can realise their full potential.  A world where all aspirations of civilisations can be realised.
Such moments are volatile, often combusting as soon as they are exposed to air.  Without a continuous supply of oxygen they wither and die, leaving the creator to ever doubt their existence.  There are those – however – who can harness this collective memory for longer.  Such sustained exposure leaves a legacy behind in this realm; paintings, sculptures, buildings, books, song and dance; geometry, the pursuit of mathematical formulae and the mapping of stars.  All that has inspired mankind to greater heights; or madness; or both.
Imagine if we could cope with this remembrance?  Not for a moment or for one life; but for generations.  Imagine the beauty we would see.  A human race, forever aspiring to the lightest of lights; the ultimate truth.  The ultimate beauty.  Imagine the pain and suffering too.  The need to scour out our eyes to make life tolerable; to make us forget.  Devoid of memory man could live with his actions, view the past through rose-tinted glasses, distort the truth to suit his own, personal interests and learn to exploit the absence of memory in others to derive power through an alternative history; a personal history.  A romantic history.  A series of romantic histories that subject the weak and vulnerable to the destructive nature of force.  But is force not elusive like beauty in that man cannot possess either?

Brilliant song

What can i say. Neil, simply the best. stop

Why do want him to stop if he's the best. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha . Oh my god I'm so funny sometimes.

The man was put on earth to write songs.Perfection.

Well said. ♥️

I really cannot describe how much this song moves me. It touches me in a way no other song does :-)

Deep and meaningful lyrics

Neil Finn.....Take Me~!!!........ * )

Lisa, you nailed it! Maybe one day songs will be constructed in this manner again. Music used to be art.

DeeCeeCT tool is good like this. Check them out.

This is what music perfection sounds like.

Harmony.
Instrumentally gifted.
And when it stays with you forever and haunts your memories that's when you really understand how special this is ~

Well said. 🎼♥️❤️

This song always brings me peace...

FANTASTIC WHAT A BAND MEMORIES AND ALL GOOD ONES

this reminds of my family especially in the 90's and still reminds of them to this day.

Fuck you!!!!!! I need Blair Booth!!!!!!

I have been entranced with the array of sounds at about 3:30 for many many years ..I feel very blessed to have been brought up with crowded house.

reminds me of lovely times.... now missing

this song often moves me to tears. brilliant.

This song reminds me of Croydon

This is pure poetry. This is what love making should feel like imho - the sensuality, the underlying intensity and the build up...

Great song, brings back memories !!

"Can you imagine that
A itch too sensitive to scratch
The light that falls through the cracks
An insect to delicate to catch
I hear the endless murmur
Every blade of grass that shivers in the breeze
And the sound that comes to carry me
And I can't look up
Fingers of love move down
And I can't look back
Fingers of love move down"
