My highest new entry is the sad ballad written by Neil Finn taken from the forthcoming second album Temple Of Low Men (which title is named after a South East Asian translation for a visiting Westerner paedophile!). Whilst it failed to chart in the UK; it peaked at Australia #2; New Zealand #2 (on 3 separate occasions 1988, 2005, & 2008), Canada #8, & USA #42. It won Song Of The Year at the 1989 ARIA's. It's lyrics refer to the guilt of being away from home (in the case of New Zealand's finest songwriter Neil Finn) to pursue his dream as a musician (he wrote it before breakfast in a London hotel), and to say it became an anthem for Australians & New Zealanders away from their home countries would be an understatement.
