Blogging about Karekare has made me think of Crowded House and their wonderful album Together Alone which they recorded in a makeshift studio at the back of the beach. It is my favourite CH album because it is so atmospheric.

I went in search of live performances of songs from the album, and while doing so I discovered this gem:

It must be the one of the most poignant versions of Throw Your Arms Around Me I’ve heard, and certainly the most unique.

The kids also did this fantastic version of another CH favourite, Private Universe.
