SOME GREATER PLAN (FOR CLAIRE)
by Crowded House
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Lyrics:

Your life is just beginning
The war it never ends
Here’s a reminder
We can look forward again
The spark is returning
We made eyes across the room
You are gorgeous and absurd
Tell me have you heard the word
Resurrection

We gave up on the world somehow
Now we better start believing
If all that we can do
Is fill the room
With a song of love
I’m there if you want
To feel a part of some greater plan
Do you want to heal the heart
Of this broken man?

You’ll never be lonely again
Would you like to say yes
We’ll clean up the mess
Sad children of the earth
Tell me have you heard the word
Revolution

We gave up on the world somehow
Now we better start believing
If all that we can do
Is fill the room
With a song of love
I’ll sing it if you want
To feel a part
Of some greater plan
Do you want to heal the heart
Of this broken man?

Do you want, do you want, do you want
Do you want, do you want
do you want, do you want
Do you want to heal the heart
Of this broken man?

That bridge. Those harmonies. Neil's smile. Elroy in the spotlight. *Perfection* ❤❤❤❤

[sandymcconnell]

This is one of Crowded House's finest songs - it makes me teary every single time. The minor chords, the melodies, the words, and now the visuals. Pure perfection.

[marksharmanmusic]

My fave track from the new album. This is when Neil rises out from the normal song writers of the world to produce something very special. Beautifully done CH. Mr Finn senior would I’m sure be proud.

[suefaulkner]

Crowded House, you made me cry when you performed your 'final concert' at Sydney Opera House all those years ago. I am overjoyed that your are back together making fantastic music once again.❤🎼🎶🎵🎸

[bobwise]

Neil Finn is just a songwriting god. Crowded house will always be my favourite band, and the Finn family as a whole are such a creative force. This song really pulls on my emotions 💙

[jamierobert]

I adore this song and the beautiful story behind it. Also, the first photo of Mr. Finn-absolutely stunning how much Tim looks like his dad. 💖

[janoskuncsik]

The good thing is that there are still some bands from the 80s and 90s left. These are the real music, deep from the soul. Thanks for it!

When I saw CH in June, Neil said this song was related to his father. During WW2, Neil's father was serving with the New Zealand Regiment (I think) in Italy. Somewhere in Italy, Neil's father and his mates, all enlisted, snuck into an officer's canteen. He met the beautiful daughter of a diplomat, way out of his league, and they had some kind of fling. And later, Neil's father would talk about his fling and it would annoy Neil's mother. :)

Wow. A timeless classic. Musically, visually and vocally. Really feels like it takes you by the hand from the opening bars, holds you right through to the very end, and then it doesn’t seem to end, like a perfect love. This is special. What a band. What a songwriter.

[tschwimer]

Absolute standout of a song. Great lyric, great harmonies, just perfect. Nearly 40 years a fan and you still do not disappoint. Thanks for all the great music.

[melzdurston]

Absolutely beautiful ❤ How can one song wrap an entire lifetime in its arms and offer it up, in all its timeless vulnerability? I think this heart just got broken again ❤

[nigelmartin]

Neil Finn is one of the best songwriters since The Beatles. He should be a household name but sadly many people have no idea when you say his name.

[cafeplastique]

I've been getting into a Split Enz rabbit hole recently. I was aware that Neil and Tim had this band before Crowded House, and that they were celebrated down in the Southern hemisphere, but it had passed me by how brilliant and oddball they actually were. How they made the most memorable songs out of the wildest of chord progressions. Of course I love the current incarnation of Crowded House, too. I'm saying this because there may be more out there, who were, like me, a little oblivious to the magic of Split Enz. I can only advise you to seek out their videos. Their discography is back on Spotify and itunes and you can find many videos re-uploaded on youtube.

[BenjaminKoska]

Best Song of this Album.

Great Art. One of the best Songs in 2024!!!!

❤️ Crowded House.

[paulspencer]

A typically beautiful song from CH and the video works great. Having been aware of the songs inspiration it's really nice to see Elroy embodying real life history. ❤

[marksharmanmusic]

Such a beautiful song which works on so many levels.

[mrmitchell]

This is floaty, gorgeous and makes my ears happy.

[stratplayr]

Holy smokes! That photo of Richard Finn at the very beginning - at first I thought it was on old photo of Tim!
What a beautiful song - I first heard this when I saw CH in Atlanta in August. Such a wonderful tribute from Neil to his Dad - makes me a bit teary eyed, as my grandfather is no longer with us (he was also in WW II). So nice that Neil is performing this song with his sons as part of the band.
This song is a great example of why Neil continues to be my favorite songwriter of all time - he somehow manages to pull all of your emotions out of you with his music. I don't know where this all comes from, his music just keeps getting better.

[invisiblek]

Tim is the spitting image of Richard! Loved seeing you in Oregon, hope you come back to the States again soon <3

[DamGreek]

Love that this song includes the Greeks and their Bouzoukis!! Nice sound and groove. Just need some baklava and Ouzo to go with it!! LOL!! DIg, DmGrk
