Private Universe


"Private Universe" is a song by rock band Crowded House from their fourth studio album, Together Alone. It was released as a single in Australia in October 1994. The single peaked at number 46 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart in January 1995 and spent 14 weeks in the top 100.
"Private Universe" is the only song to be featured on all of Crowded House's compilation and live albums.

Reception

said, "the song may be among the quietest in their discography — which, rather than being easy to ignore, only makes you want to listen more intently. Doing so will lead you to its wafting keyboards, hypnotic tablas and Finn embracing these fleeting moments of unity while he’s able."
