Missed Neil Finn in Amsterdam

Crowded House have a new song called Amsterdam, off their new album Intriguer, here are the lyrics to the first verse:

You and me got the whole day off, take a trip to Vincent Van Gogh,  But the line went half way round the block. And we're looking for a place to rest, every seat in every bar was set, So we turned back to the Grand Hotel. And the rain came hard, a million people on a protest march,every choice, every path was mistaken.

Can't help be reminded of a visit Sean and I had to Amsterdam with 'a trip to Vincent Van Gogh', 'a line half way roud the block' and the 'rain came hard'. Neil Finn must have been there the same day as Sean and I.


Go to the Crowded House Website and press the play icon where it says 'Play Crowded House Music' to hear a live recording of Amsterdam if you want. It's nice.
