The National - Never Tear Us Apart

Our cover of @inxs' ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ is taken from the album 'Songs For Australia'; an extraordinary album made by a collection of artists from around the world who have each donated their time to record a cover of an Australian song.

The album was made to raise money for organizations in Australia who are working towards creating a better future for the country and helping to rebuild during and after the bushfire crisis. ‘Songs for Australia’ will be digitally released Thursday, March 12 through BMG.

I've always wanted a The National song to dance to at my wedding with my beloved woman, but no song really seemed to fit. This one will do. Perfectly. Thank you.

As a huge INXS fan, I wasn't expecting to enjoy that as much as I did, a great version!

[AJLangford]

From an Aussie and a big INXS fan, you have not only selected a great song, you've done a great service. It's an awesome cover. Thank you! Peace.

I love this cover of Inxs because it has the sound of the nationals and respect the original version of the song

First time the internet delivered on the promise of giving me what I wanted before I knew I wanted it. What strange magical blessing is this?

[lactoastintolerant]

I had no idea this was a cover since it was released! Beautiful song!

Never clicked a notification so fast since Rylan was released

[DeionReverie]

I hit the like button before the song even started because I knew I would. This is so perfect!

[solomondoors]

Michael Hutchence would be proud of this.

That’s the highest praise you need.

Don't ask me
What you know is true
Don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears

I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

You were standing
I was there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided

inxs's kick is one of the all time great albums that has kind of been lost to time. all the songs vary in style and each is a jam of their own.

[Annapaz]

Your music has been in my life for a very long time. It is both familiar and comforting, a wonderful sensation listening to you, guys. Much love and appreciation. 😊😊👍

[ΒιολέταΒαφείδου]

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds colliding
And the would never tear us apart
