Crowded House - Don't Dream it's Over

I was about 10 years old when I first watched the surreal music video for Crowded House's Don't Dream It's Over. The dream-like video shows singer Neil Finn walking through rooms with clips of dishes breaking and reels un-reeling over the music video.  Back then the effects were cool and added visual emotion to the song.

The song is about perseverance through obsticles in a relationship.  Although, it wasn't until 2003 when Sixpence None the Richer covered the song that I was able to decipher half the lyrics. [See below for Sixpence's music video for Don't Dream It's Over.]

Formed in Melbourne, Australia, Neil and Tim Finn's Crowded House hit the international billboard charts in 1986 with Don't Dream It's Over. They received several awards for the song and video including MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist and an ARIA Music Award for Song of the Year.
