I sing it anywhere in the world because I feel it connects me back to home, and what it means, and I get to share that with the world and it is a world-class song.
– Musician Stan Walker on his love for Crowded House song Don't Dream It's Over, Stuff, 9 June 2017
What does it mean? It's a double-edged thing. It could be, 'Hey now hey now don't dream, it's over.' Or 'Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over.' It's about not giving up. It was written at a melancholy time and it's about finding something within yourself that keeps you going.
– Neil Finn on the emotions behind Don't Dream It's Over, The NZ Herald, 3 November 2001
