Original version of this song composed and written by New Zealand Frontman for the band Crowded House, Neil Finn, and released in October 1986 as the fourth single from the album of the same name. I'm quite obviously NO Tribute Band or Performer in that sense. Yet, always loved this tune and sketched it in my own AcoustaTronic style, even though well outside of my wheelhouse. It's how I learn and attempt to improve my own original songwriting and production. Appreciate plays and feedback, but only intended for enjoyment and with all due respect to the Original. I make no money from my musical meandering, but put forth best efforts regardless.Don't Dream It's Over (1986 - Crowded House)… There is freedom withinThere is freedom withoutTry to catch the deluge in a paper cupThere's a battle aheadMany battles are lostBut you'll never see the end of the roadWhile you're travelling with me… Hey now, hey nowDon't dream it's overHey now, hey nowWhen the world comes inThey come, they comeTo build a wall between usWe know they won't win… Now I'm towing my carThere's a hole in the roofMy possessions are causing me suspicionBut there's no proofIn the paper todayTales of war and of wasteBut you turn right over to the TV page… Hey now, hey nowDon't dream it's overHey now, hey nowWhen the world comes inThey come, they comeTo build a wall between usWe know they won't win… Now I'm walking againTo the beat of a drumAnd I'm counting the steps to the door of your heartOnly shadows aheadBarely clearing the roofGet to know the feeling of liberation and release… Hey now, hey nowDon't dream it's overHey now, hey nowWhen the world comes inThey come, they comeTo build a wall between usYou know they won't win… Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now)Hey now, hey nowHey now, hey nowDon't let them win (They come, they come)Don't let them win (Hey now, hey now), yeahHey now, hey now
