#151 Don't Dream It's Over – Crowded House (1987)


 
Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus knew what they were doing when they performed this one together at the recent One Love Manchester concert; it’s one of the most beautiful and well-crafted songs of all time, with the unforgettable chorus, the great lyrics in the verses, and that organ at the beginning of the bridge. Listening again to the second part of the chorus, you have to wonder whether Neil Finn had a premonition of what the state of the world would be like 30 years later:
 
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win.
