Yeah I miss my baby girl Sasha ( boston terrier/ blue healer mix ), although she is not passed away, she was left with my now ex-fiance, and I miss Sasha more than my ex. Great family member and she just adored me,. She would always come into the bedroom and nudge me with her nose as I was sitting in my desk chair, just so I could pet her. I have never cried over a pet except for her. Wish I could see her gain for just a day and love all over her.
But After Glow, I promise you will love it. Trust me, i am Neils’s biggest fan!!
What a beautiful fucking guy this Neil Finn bloke
Cheers all from California.
This song gives a much more open view into his lyric style and how he writes …I like that as a writer who has been strongly influences by Neil Finns writing.
It’s lovely to see Neil still performing. Did someone say he’s “nearly 40″ as if to say that were old? Wow. I’m nearly 50 & just getting my start in the world of music. The Finn Bros. are on my list of inspirational musicians. We should all be so talentless… if you’ve nothing nice to say…Peace
This song is so sad ;__;
Riiiight, and this is coming from someone who calls himself “pimpin’ “. Please go take a nap in traffic.
That’s so funnt about the “man servent”!! love the kyrics “head of security” dogs will always know first if someone is lurking in the shadows!
Oh and thanks so much for this video its wonderful x
what a songwriter
i like dogs
He’s in his late 40′s, give him a break. Not many people can still sound this good at that age.
Think he meant officially. The Afterglow on was a home demo.
any one who has really loved a dog had said this prayer. Atheist…included.
I love this, it’s awesome that someone could love a pet enough to write a song about him. I just don’t get how anyone could not know this song is about a dog, with the references to four legs, eating plants and “us humans”….
neil finn’s singing is bad? dude, that’s an oxymoron.
The singing is bad, seriously.
Only you could write so honestly, Neil. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Pedazo canción. Para los que no lo sepan trata sobre su perro Lester. Recordar que “Black & White Boy” también hablaba sobre éste, aunque hay quien dice que la canción se refería a Paul Hester. De todos modos hay que alabar el trabajo de Neil Finn. Quién sino él es capaz de componer una canción así sobre un perro.
This is one of my faves by CH it’s short but so beautiful. I had no idea it was about a pet though LOL
Maton brand (not Martin)……Australian company. He has many, including an amazing vintage electric 12-string.
It has been recorded and released. The album ‘Afterglow’, released 2000. Not sure why Neil says it was never recorded….
lol “MAN SERVANT” Neil I love you and I love this song, so much love about the family pet
anybody know what kind of guitar that is? i really like it.
A songwriter for the ages…
