“Don’t Dream It’s Over”

Crowded House made “Don’t Dream It’s Over” with Grammy-nominated producer Mitchell Froom, who they went on to work with a number of instances. For this episode, I talked to frontman Neil Finn about how the music was first written, and the way it developed together with his bandmates and collaborators within the studio. And we talked concerning the profound connection individuals have had with the music over time.
