The series revolves around the chaotic everyday life of a boy named Lincoln Loud, who is the middle child and only son in a large family of 11 children. It is set in a fictional town in southeastern Michigan called Royal Woods, based on Savino's hometown of Royal Oak. The series was pitched to the network in 2013 as a two-minute short film entered in the annual Animated Shorts Program. It entered production the following year.[3] The series is based on Savino's own childhood growing up in a large family, and its animation is largely influenced by newspaper comic strips. The episode "Ties That Bind" reveals that Lola was born two minutes after Lana, making her the younger twin. She is named after a pet Dachshund of Savino's.[8] Lola is depicted as a princess who plots and schemes to get her way and becomes maniacal if her siblings or anyone else angers her in any way.

Every April Fools' Day, Luan becomes a sadistic prank-obsessed maniac, which causes her family and Clyde to fear the holiday. While the pranks she pulls are mostly successful, the tables are occasionally turned against her as seen in the episodes "Fool's Paradise" and "Fool Me Twice". In the latter, Luan has stopped pulling pranks; however, in the episode "Silence of the Luans", Lily pulls pranks on their family, convincing Luan to resume pranking. Luan also has other talents, including performing as an expert birthday clown, juggler, magician, mime artist, and ventriloquist.

When it comes to taking Lynn Sr. out to Jean Juan's French-Mex for his half-birthday dinner, Lincoln persuades Lisa to have her robot Todd pose as him.

It is a live-action spin-off of The Loud House and the third television series in the overall franchise, utilizing most of the actors that appeared in the 2021 television film A Loud House Christmas.

From unwanted makeovers to exploding science experiments to getting the perfect seat for the family road trip, there's no problem too large--or bedroom too small-- for Lincoln! And despite all of the headaches, he wouldn't have it any other way.Lincoln's secret to surviving in the Loud House? And with a little help from his best friend Clyde, Lincoln can handle anything his sisters throw at him. Maria Casagrande-Santiago[37] (voiced by Sumalee Montano)[38] is Ronnie Anne and Bobby's mother, Carlos' sister, and Rosa and Hector's daughter. When the Santiago's move to Great Lakes City, Maria works at the local hospital as an emergency room nurse.

Sharon makes her first appearance in "'Twas the Fight Before Christmas" where she was shown to be close with Rita. When her husband Lance got enraged when he saw his brother Lynn, Sharon taught him a method to stay calm which he eventually took into heart later in the episode. Grant Palmer was the original voice of Lincoln Loud, the main character of the show. Lincoln is the only boy in the Loud family and often finds himself surrounded by his energetic and unique sisters. In the past few months, the Loud House has been kicked up a notch when Lynn's new friend Zia has been hanging out. Clyde has been jealous that Zia has taken over his position of the "12th Loud".

Nickelodeon and its YouTube channel have done a series of podcasts called Listen Out Loud, where each member of the Loud family does a podcast revolving around their topics. The fact that he's [Lincoln] in the middle is not necessarily an accident. For a while, he was a bit older and he had more sisters underneath him and somewhere in the storytelling, we realized that him being kind of, literally the fulcrum of the family [...] all kind of came into play. Before it was decided that Lincoln would be the middle child, he was initially going to be placed in either with his older sisters or younger sisters. Eventually, it was decided that Lincoln would be best suited perfectly in the middle, as it made sense thematically. Carlitos Casagrande (voiced by Roxana Ortega up to The Casagrandes ep. 6A,[40] Cristina Milizia from ep. 7 onward[41]) is the youngest of Carlos and Frida's children, Rosa and Hector's grandson and the cousin of Ronnie Anne.

Adelaide can be emotional as seen in "Croaked" when her pet frog Froggy passed away. The episode "Karate Chops" reveals that Adelaide is an expert at karate and has karate skills that surpass Carl's. Stanley Chang (voiced by Ken Jeong) is the Chinese father of Sid and Adelaide. He works as a subway conductor in Great Lakes City's subway system called the GLART (short for Great Lakes Area Rapid Transit). Rosa Casagrande (voiced by Sonia Manzano)[38] is Ronnie Anne and Bobby's grandmother, Maria and Carlos' mother, and Lupe and Lazaro's daughter. She is the matriarch of the Casagrande family and the building manager of their apartment building.

In the episode "Middle Men", it is revealed that Lynn developed a brash personality when she started middle school because she was bullied throughout her first year. Lynn attends Royal Woods Middle School as a 7th grader for the first four seasons, with Lincoln joining her as of "Schooled"; Lynn attends the 8th grade as of the episode. Luan wears braces, a white sleeveless shirt, a yellow skirt, yellow socks, brown shoes, and 3 pink flowers.

The Loud family must raise enough money to save Flip's Food & Fuel, enable Lincoln to get the Everlasting Emerald, and give it to Charlie before the Uggo family leave Royal Woods. Lincoln tells Clyde that he will be spending his vacation from his family at Aunt Ruth's cabin meaning that he won't be able to attend his sleepover. Clyde offers to fill in for Lincoln while he is away where Lincoln will partake in another sleepover if Clyde succeeds. When it all goes wrong, Clyde has to turn to Lincoln to get everything back on track. Royal Woods Middle School is having a school dance called the Kangaroo Hop as Liam works on his first documentary of it for the Action News where Lori had gotten a crown while Rita only got second place to Brenda Wilkinson.

The Casagrandes are a Mexican American family of characters who are the extended family of the Santiagos.

Because she traveled extensively in her youth prior to meeting Albert, Myrtle never married or had children of her own.

The ancestors of the Loud family from the 1600s, shown in The Loud House Movie, were driven away from their town of Loch Loud by Aggie using a magic stone on Lolo the Dragon.

Forget alcove ideas with bookshelves – a well-appointed small home bar with dynamic design details is far more exciting. And, with a little imagination, you can achieve great things in a small space. Neutral hues work just as well in a home bar, especially if you're adding them to an existing room. 'In our Tribeca client’s “Speakeasy” media room bar, we created a metallic plaster finish reminiscent of hammered gold to bounce the light both day and night.

Or commandeer some of the built-in kitchen cabinets and counter space to devote to an adult beverage station that's always at the ready. A decorative tray holding bottles, glassware, and accessories can be displayed on a dining room sideboard or a living room console table. Or if you have the space, the plumbing, and the inclination, you can even set up a wet bar in an unused alcove or corner of the kitchen or basement with a few simple elements.

Install a Prep Sink

For bars kept outside, you should add locks to the cabinets if there will be alcohol or barware left in it, no matter how close it is to the house. Someone could easily get into your stash if it is left unlocked when you’re away from the house for the day. A mini fridge for keeping fruits for drinks and garnishes, along with some foods for snacks, would also be a good addition to a back bar. With the addition of a coffee maker or a cappuccino machine, you could offer guests who don’t drink a variety of hot beverages, as well as keep cold sodas and teas behind the bar as well. If you want an even more traditional bar area, then you should consider a back bar.

Incredible Home Bar Design Ideas (Photos)

The designer established two seating areas within the space, including a cozy gathering spot with chaise longues that flank the original carved marble fireplace. The room’s coffered ceilings were enhanced with a faux-wood decorative painting by Jhon Ardilla. The designers worked with a color palette of Dunn-Edwards paints, and several chose to highlight the brand’s 2024 Color of the Year, a steely blue called Skipping Stones. Nods to Pasadena’s famous peacocks can be found throughout the designs, and many creators fearlessly brought in statement floors, enveloped their spaces with jewel tones, and added texture to ceilings. Others focused on bringing the beauty of the estate’s gardens and views inside with verdant murals, floral fabrics, and nature-inspired lighting. Ready to give your space an elevated home bar moment that rivals the local watering hole?

Popping champagne feels more ceremonial when you have an ice bucket to store your bottle in until you’ve finished it. So snag a pretty ice bucket that’ll look great on your home bar, and leave it on display even when you’re not drinking bubbly. This will keep top-heavy glasses from tumbling over the moment you touch your bar cart. And it prevents dust from collecting inside your glasses—so you won’t have to rinse them every time you whip them out. If you're throwing a backyard barbecue or enjoying drinks on the patio, bring your bar cart outside. And if you’re a serious outdoor entertainer, you can even snag a second bar cart—dedicated solely to your backyard.

Chic Bar Ideas for Shaking Things Up at Home

A bar needn’t take up a lot of space, as you will see in many of these home bar design ideas. Contemporary home bar with tiles flooring and built-in shelving together with a couple of TV on wall and pendant ceiling lights. This bar features elegant carpet flooring and charming lighting all over the place. The red walls and counter, along with the couple of cozy bar stools add elegance to the room. Transfer your liquor to pretty decanters and glass bottles and then put them, along with your glasses, on a serving tray (or even more exciting, a Lazy Susan!). Then place the tray on a console table, desk, or really any surface in the living room as a makeshift home bar.

A night out is great every now and then, but there’s something so sophisticated about making cocktails at your own home bar. Put a little thought into your setup, and you can entertain in a space that rivals even the coolest of clubs (and plays only songs you love to boot). You'll need more than a well-stocked liquor cabinet to make it happen, although that's essential. A great home bar has all the right tools, glassware, and mixers for every drink in your repertoire. Luckily, we have stylish home bar ideas and inspiration to help on that front, even for small spaces.

Don't Settle for One Statement Piece

(Because we know you’ll ask) the wallcovering is Le Paradis aux Mille Fleurs by Pierre Frey. From coupe glasses to Champagne flutes, curating a beautiful selection of glassware is an easy way to give your bar a luxe look. Rather than hiding it away, keep your drinkware on full display by opting for a home bar with glass cabinetry, like Ashley DeLapp of Ashley DeLapp Interior Design did here.

Anyone looking for small home bar ideas will be relieved to know that a dedicated home bar can be super stylish even if you only have limited space. If you are going to dedicate space to a home bar, don’t skimp on the functional details. ‘A wine cabinet should be factored in so that your favorite tipple is kept at optimum temperature,’ says Charlie Smallbone, founder of Ledbury Studio. The addition of the marble shelf offers a place for decor pieces and aesthetic barware to be displayed, giving the space a sense of personality and character. The playful addition will set the scene in your home bar, making it feel as kitschy, cozy, or classic as you want it to. No cocktail is complete without an appropriate garnish, and cocktail picks make those garnishes easier to manage.

Dark, beautifully grained wood is a warmer look and more in line with traditional pubs. Modern, experimental bars are also using stainless steel, glass and butcher block as bar surfaces. Stay away from surfaces that are easily scratched or that may peel or crack over time. While it may not be the most budget-friendly when it comes to outdoor kitchen costs, a garden room is an attractive solution, adding height and throwing linear shadows into space.

An eye-catching natural stone by Walker Zanger was selected for the counters and backsplash, and the space was outfitted with the latest Monogram appliances. Maria Videla-Juniel turned the primary bath into a sumptuous retreat with hues of soft blue and brown. Thibaut wall coverings and fabrics were used for the walls and windows, and the elegant shagreen-covered vanities are accented with gleaming fixtures by P.E. Videla-Juniel and project manager Cheryl Hardy also installed a striking shower clad in herringbone stone tile. Designer Lara Hovanessian packed plenty of bold design elements into the powder room and adjacent lounge.

Deep, satin-brushed shades of teal (Pantone Stargazer) connect the bar to the neighboring library. A back bar can serve as a great display area for a man cave, a basement, or bonus room when you invite people over for a barbeque, a dinner party, or to play cards. Most serving carts have two levels, wheels, and a handle, so you can easily push it from another room, like the kitchen. If you frequently invite friends and family to your house to watch sporting events or for dinner parties, then having a stocked bar can be very convenient. Space-saving drop-down “murphy-bed” style home bar with simple stools in a rustic style. Here’s an entire room in the basement dedicated to a custom home bar with aquarium.

"Matching the cabinet to the wall color with light gold shelves gave this bar a sophisticated feel as well as being very purposeful," says Andi Morse of Morse Design. "The bar stores alcohol and additional glasses to make mixing and serving drinks easy." If spirits aren't your style, prioritize stocking your bar with a well curated selection of wine. "Even if you're a wine enthusiast, having a home bar in your dining room is a smart choice for easy entertaining," says Kerrie Kelly, creative director of Kerrie Kelly Design Lab. "It not only allows you to offer a variety of drinks to guests, but it also adds a touch of sophistication and versatility to your dining space, ensuring your gatherings are both stylish and welcoming." Take a look at your bar space and see how nearby walls can become part of the bar.

Increasing the usage and comfort of outdoor space is now a vital part of garden design plans. The ultimate entertainment station, a home bar will become an enjoyable al fresco hub for your family and guests to come together and appreciate all year round. If you love entertaining, a basement conversion can offer a whole extra floor of space within your home’s existing footprint and is perfectly placed for a generous bar or diner that opens out onto the backyard. In a busy kitchen or kitchen-diner used for entertaining, it makes sense to create an area for making drinks away from the main cooking zone to avoid tripping over each other. If your home bar isn’t within easy reach of the kitchen sink, consider incorporating a boiling water tap. Far faster to heat than a regular kettle, boiling water taps are also more energy efficient and make light work of serving hot beverages.

It hosted legendary entertainers, including Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Harry Belafonte, Louis Armstrong, and Liberace. Children at these facilities make up one of the most vulnerable populations, including foster youths who have previously been sexually exploited, Grove said. In 2021, her testimony about her experience at Utah's Provo Canyon School helped pass a bill to impose stricter oversight over youth treatment centers in the state. To advocate for federal reforms and helped changed laws to protect minors in at least eight states. Earlier this month, she spoke in support of boys sent to a private school for troubled teens in Jamaica. "Our current system designed to reform, in some horrific instances, does the exact opposite," Hilton told lawmakers Monday.

The Beginnings of Our History

A gala was hosted for 500 dignitaries and Civil War heroes, including General William Sherman and Phillip Sheridan, with Mark Twain, Potter’s friend, as master of ceremonies. The brownie was created in the Palmer House Kitchen, specifically under the direction of Bertha Palmer to be served at the World’s Columbian Exposition, or Chicago World’s Fair, in 1893. Bertha, who was president of the Ladies Board for Managers for Exposition, was creating box lunches for the Women’s Pavilion. She asked her chef to prepare a dessert, something more unique than a piece of pie or cake, and something that would be easy to eat and transport.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom also authorized $8 million to bring all the minors home by last year. Trader Vic's is a restaurant and tiki bar chain headquartered in Emeryville, California, United States. Victor Jules Bergeron, Jr. (December 10, 1902 in San Francisco – October 11, 1984 in Hillsborough, California) founded a chain of Polynesian-themed restaurants that bore his nickname, "Trader Vic". He was one of two people who claimed to have invented the Mai Tai.[1] The other was his amicable competitor for many years, Donn Beach of the "Don the Beachcomber" restaurants.

The Best of Chicago

Beyond the Mai Tai, Bergeron's other more famous drinks included the Fog Cutter and the Scorpion Bowl.[12] Both drinks were served in a specific and highly decorated mug or bowl. Requests for early arrival and/or late departure will be granted based upon availability and subject to additional charges. The original Palmer House was destroyed 13 days after its grand opening in the Great Chicago Fire. Potter constructed the world’s first “fireproof hotel” and two years later, the property reopened on November 8, 1873, to become one of the nation’s longest continually operating hotels. In recent years the historic Chicago hotel, Palmer House, a Hilton Hotel has undergone a $170 million renovation to ensure that it includes all of the conveniences and comforts our 21st century guests expect while also preserving our significant history.

Minors with behavioral issues are now sent to in-state short-term residential centers, which were created in 2017 to replace group homes. But under current laws, these facilities are not required to share information on how often they use seclusion rooms, restraints, and how many times those methods result in serious injuries or deaths. The California bill passed committee with bipartisan support on Monday. Under the bill, facilities would have to report details such as what disciplinary actions were taken, why and who had approved the plan. The state department regulating the facilities also would be required to make public the reports and update the database on the quarterly basis.

The rooms have a classic feel, not shiny and modern, but they have all the amenities you'd expect. However, only 13 days after its grand opening, the Palmer House fell victim to the Great Chicago Fire. Determined to rebuild his hotel, Potter secured a $1.7 million loan–negotiated on his signature alone. On November 8, 1873, the new Palmer House welcomed its first guests, marking the opening of what would become the nation’s longest continually operating hotel. The Fitness Center is complimentary to guests and features cardio and free weights allowing you to stay fit on the road.

IT'S IN THE CARDS

It was a grand Chicago Hotel—one destined to take its place among the most luxurious hotels in Chicago and beyond. Designed in the style of the High French Empire, the room’s staircase, statuary and entry pay homage to the Paris Opera. The grand staircase catches the eye when entering the hotel, a sign that something extraordinary is taking place in the room. Originally the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, The Empire Room added dancing in 1933 during the World’s Fair and it was a quick crowd-pleaser. When Conrad Hilton purchased the hotel in 1945, he suggested entertainment be escalated to full cabaret reviews, with as many as three opening acts, including the Merriel Abbott dancers. While today a destination for weddings and gala events, the Empire Room has hosted several legendary entertainers.

She eventually accumulated over 220 paintings, the largest collection of impressionist art outside of France, and willed them to the Art Institute of Chicago – including numerous Monets and Renoirs. After checking my name off a list, the host handed me this fun HHonors Gold Member casino chip, which my server promptly collected before instructing me to head straight to the buffet. As a Diamond member, I was entitled to a continental breakfast in the main restaurant, too, which I preferred, given the larger space and selection. Breakfast was included for anyone with access, and included a mix of fresh fruit, orange juice and coffee (that the staff didn't seem in much of a hurry to replace whenever it ran out, which was frequently). I wasn't a fan of the lighting, though, especially in the bathroom — the lights were fluorescent and a bit too bright, especially during visits in the middle of the night. While the hotel was kind enough to add my Honors number to the Hotels.com booking — it never hurts to ask!

"It breaks spirits and instills fear, and it perpetuates a cycle of abuse. But today, we have the power to change that." Chicago TheatreEstablished in 1921, the Chicago Theatre is an iconic building located on State Street, offering several shows throughout the year. As of 2024, there are three Trader Vic's restaurants in the United States, two in Europe, ten in the Middle East, two in Asia, and one in Africa.

Enjoy a refreshing dip at the indoor heated pool or a personalized workout regime on three interconnected levels in the 10,000-square-foot facility. During the Tiki culture fad of the 1950s and 1960s, as many as 25 Trader Vic's restaurants were in operation worldwide. They all featured the popular mix of Polynesian artifacts, unique cocktails, and exotic cuisine.

Aside from the lightbulbs, perhaps, and property-wide Wi-Fi. The hotel is in a great location, close to major attractions like The Chicago Art Institute. It is a grand building, the main lobby is grand, feels like a set for a movie about the roaring 1920s.

Please view our advertising policy and product review methodology for more information. I also had a chance to check out some of the event venues, since I was at the hotel for a wedding. The main ballroom felt especially historic, but the staff was friendly and accommodating, and the catering was very good overall. Aside from the upgrade and free buffet, having the staff add my Honors number also let me text the hotel through the Hilton app — a great feature, at least in theory. I always received a response within a few minutes, but several confirmed requests never materialized, such as the robes I ordered and the Valentine's Day welcome I confirmed before arrival.

As its popularity spread, the menu and decor developed an increasingly tropical flair, and Hinky Dink's soon became Trader Vic's. At the Palmer House, we offer a wide variety of services and amenities to ensure you have everything you need, whether staying for work, leisure or with the kids. We ended up moving some of the snacks around to make room on top before noticing the automated sensors, but never ended up getting hit with a charge.

The verses of “Don’t Dream It’s Over” represent challenges and obstacles. The contrasting chorus of the song, which features the message “Don’t Dream It’s Over”, portrays a sense of hope and optimism. The lyrics resonate with me deeply, serving as a reminder to embrace the freedom and possibilities available to me, even in the face of challenges. The chorus, with its powerful declaration that they won’t win, has been a source of strength during moments when it felt like the world was trying to tear me down. In this sixth episode of The Story Behind the Song, host Peter Csathy interviews Finn about “Don’t Dream It’s Over” and how it came to be. The two also discuss Neil’s beautiful love song “Fall at Your Feet” from Crowded House’s third album, Woodface.

The Story Behind Crowded House’s “Hey Now, Hey Now” Anthem “Don’t Dream It’s Over”

In a world that can often feel disconnected and divided, “Don’t Dream It’s Over” remains a powerful reminder of the human capacity for hope and resilience. Through its haunting melody and optimistic lyrics, the song speaks to a universal struggle that we all face at some point in our lives. Whether we’re dealing with the challenges of a new environment or simply striving to achieve our dreams, “Don’t Dream It’s Over” encourages us to keep going and never give up. Crowded House’s lead singer and songwriter Neil Finn has said that “Don’t Dream It’s Over” was inspired by his experiences living in Los Angeles and feeling disconnected from his homeland of New Zealand. The song was written during a time when Finn was struggling with homesickness and a sense of displacement, which inspired him to write a song that expressed the human desire for connection and a sense of belonging. Finn’s most iconic song is, without a doubt, “Don’t Dream It’s Over” – you know, the “Hey Now, Hey Now” song.

And Finn continues to record as a solo artist as well, not to mention joining Fleetwood Mac in 2018. The iconic “Don’t Dream It’s Over” is undoubtedly Crowded House’s signature song. The song, written by the band’s frontman Neil Finn, was released on Crowded House’s self-titled debut album in 1986 and became a worldwide hit. In this article, we will dive into the meaning, story, and legacy behind “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by Crowded House.

Music, Songs & Lyrics

The chorus, which serves as the heart of the song, implores us not to give up or let go of our dreams. It reminds us that even when the world seems intent on building walls between us, we have the power to resist and overcome. The line “They come, they come to build a wall between us, we know they won’t win” celebrates the strength of human connection and the resilience of the human spirit. Additionally, the song’s call for human connection and the importance of cherishing our relationships with others deeply resonates within me.

With its memorable melody, haunting lyrics, and persistent optimism, this song has resonated with millions of people around the world since its release in 1986. In this article, we’ll explore the deeper meaning behind “Don’t Dream It’s Over” and how it speaks to our universal struggles and dreams. The fourth single from their self-titled debut album, “Don’t Dream It’s Over” is widely considered Crowded House’s signature song. During initial release in 1987, it topped singles charts in Canada and New Zealand, reached number 2 in the US Billboard Hot 100, and was also top 10 in Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands and Norway. The Beatles were such a monumental force in pop music that for a decade after their disbanding, other musical acts seemed consciously to avoid their influence. In Split Enz, however, New Zealand’s Finn brothers, Tim and Neil, embraced it wholeheartedly (this was long before 1990s Britpop, when everyone was at it), and the influence carried over to Neil’s Australian band, Crowded House.

Justin wrote the classic "Nights In White Satin," but his fondest musical memories are from a different decade. The first country song to win a Grammy for Record of the Year was "Not Ready To Make Nice" by The Dixie Chicks in 2007.

Music video

There is a sense that despite the battles we face and the challenges that may arise, there is still freedom and possibility available to us. The line “Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup” beautifully captures the idea of trying to contain something vast and overwhelming in something small and fragile. In 1991, English musician Paul Young covered "Don't Dream It's Over" on his first compilation album, From Time to Time – The Singles Collection (1991). Young's version, released by Columbia, was produced by Dan Hartman, and featured Paul Carrack singing the fourth chorus and performing the keyboard and synthesizers. According to Neil Finn, you can’t put a “paper cup” in a song without it being a reference to John Lennon.

It has transcended mere “classic” status over the years to become one of the most enduring music anthems of the past several decades, inspiring sing-alongs to this day. Neil wrote this song in less than 24 hours, something this podcast has revealed to be quite common for artists when creating their most lasting, signature songs. “Don’t Dream It’s Over” is a song about remaining hopeful in the face of adversity.

Don’t Dream It’s Over

It serves as a reminder to nurture the connections that bring joy and light into our lives, as they can be a source of liberation and release. Music has an undeniable impact on our emotions and helps us process complex feelings when words alone simply aren’t enough. One of the most powerful songs in this regard is “Don’t Dream It’s Over” by the New Zealand band Crowded House.

The song’s message seems to be told from the perspective of a relationship, with the narrator urging his loved one to not give up. He tells her that no matter how the world tries to bring them down, ‘we know they won’t win’. The music and melody of “Don’t Dream It’s Over” complement the lyrics perfectly, creating an atmosphere of both melancholy and beauty. The song’s instrumentation is sparse, with an acoustic guitar, a piano, and a subtle bass line forming the backbone of the song.

Five years later, it inspired a movie of the same name starring Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy and Jon Cryer. The lyrics to "Heartbreak Hotel" were written by a steel guitar player who was once a dishwasher repairman. He was inspired by a newspaper story about a man who killed himself and left behind a note saying only, "I walk a lonely street." "Don't Dream It's Over" is written and composed in the key of E-flat major[13] and is set in the time signature of common time with a tempo of 82 beats per minute. As I journey through life, this song will always remain a constant reminder of the strength and possibility that lie within me.

The lyrics of “Don’t Dream It’s Over” are both poetic and direct, speaking to the heart of what it means to be human. The opening lines (“There is freedom within, there is freedom without / Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup”) suggest that despite our limitations, we still have the capacity to find meaning and wonder in the world. The harmony is simple stuff (IV–V–I), but it’s effective so, like the first two lines of the verse, Finn repeats it.

Neil Finn’s masterful songwriting continues to shine in the second verse, where he introduces a more personal element to the song. The reference to a hole in the roof and possessions causing suspicion reflects the everyday struggles and uncertainties we all face. Despite these challenges, Finn encourages us to look to the hope and light offered by the simplicity of turning on the TV and escaping into another world.

Through it all, Finn touches on his continuing “out of the box” musical journey, from Split Enz, to Crowded House, to solo artist, to Fleetwood Mac — and what’s next for it all. The accompanying video has Finn walking through a house in which other members of Crowded House are sitting around, sometimes playing their instruments. The house is a weatherboard; we even see a slice of toast spread with Vegemite. When the organ solo comes, the windows of this house are suddenly arched and have stained glass. As we dissect the lyrics, the song paints a vivid picture of the complexities of life.

The chorus then bursts forth with a soaring melody that elevates the song and carries the listeners along on a journey of hope and optimism. Crowded House released “Don’t Dream It’s Over” as a single on 20 October 1986. The song reached North America a few months later, where it peaked at number 2 on the US charts and topped the Canadian charts. Someone later funnily remarked to Finn that if they had titled the song “Hey Now” it would’ve topped the US charts too.
