Title: "Message to My Girl" makes it all worthwhile!
Review: People remember Split Enz for "I Got You" and "One Step Ahead," but "Message to My Girl" should have been the band's biggest success. The track comes from Conflicting Emotions, the last Split Enz album released in America. "Message to My Girl," like the Who's "Bargain" and a handful of other songs, is a rock rarity--a powerfully poignant love song. During the eighties, Enz founder Tim Finn enjoyed a successful solo album and wrote music for the film The Coca-Cola Kid, while little brother Neil kept the Enz spirit alive with his band Crowded House. The nineties found Tim and Neil playing together in Crowded House and then, in 2004, collaborating on the excellent Finn Brothers album Everyone Is Here (take a listen to "Won't Give In"). Sadly, one-time Enz and Crowded House drummer Paul Hester took his own life in 2005.
