Published: June 12, 2024, 3:55 p.m.

Crowded House formed in 1985 in Melbourne, Australia. They\u2019ve released eight albums, including their most recent one, Gravity Stairs, which came out last month. But on their very first album, they had a big hit with "Don\u2019t Dream It\u2019s Over."

Crowded House made \u201cDon\u2019t Dream It\u2019s Over\u201d with Grammy-nominated producer Mitchell Froom, who they went on to work with multiple times. For this episode, I talked to frontman Neil Finn about how the song was first written, and how it developed with his bandmates and collaborators in the studio. And we talked about the profound connection people have had with the song over the years.
