More on Better Be Home Soon
Description from Wikipedia:
"Better Be Home Soon" ' is a 1988 song by rock group Crowded House. Written by Neil Finn, the song was released as a single in July 1988 by Capitol Records. It performed modestly on both the American and British charts, but managed to peak at number two on the Australian charts (Crowded House originate from Australia). The song appeared on the album Temple of Low Men, which was also released in July 1988. In 2005, following drummer Paul Hester's tragic death, Neil Finn performed the song solo at the ARIA Awards while a montage of Hester's life was played in the background. ==Notable performances==
"Better Be Home Soon" was performed by Crowded House in their 1996 charity performance Farewell to the World. As a song commonly performed by the band, this was to be expected, however the end of this version featured a country or polka style double-time feeling at the end, possibly in joking retort to some criticisms of the song when initially released that it was a bit "country-ish". They also performed it as an encore at the Sydney Live Earth concert.
