All I Ask
Neil Finn/Tim Finn

All I ask
Is to live each moment
Free from the last
Take the road forgotten
Don’t leave me here
Oh, please let me stray
Far from familiar things

All I ask
Is to live each moment
All I ask
Is to live each moment
Free from the last

Strange roads
Going nowhere
Going nowhere in particular

All I ask
Is to live each moment
All I ask
Is to live each moment
Free from the last
Free from the last
All I ask

Crowded House - Woodface (1991 album)

Live a capella excerpt: Fangradio Woodface special 4 March 2021


It’s unusual because we’d never really had the time or the money available to do strings properly. We were able to get an incredibly good 22-piece string section and so it was just pure delight for us. I was able to sit in the studio and hear a really good string section playing something Tim and I had written together. It knocked us out.
— Neil Finn
All I Ask literally took as long to write as it does to sing. It just came out straight to tape.

That sort of thing happening made us think we should go on doing it forever, meaning it was a good idea for me to join Crowded House. It as a bit of an over-reaction as it turned out.
— Tim Finn, 1992
