Neil & Liam Finn - Lightsleeper (2018)
“It’s 2015, and Liam Finn is marrying his partner, Janina, on a Greek island. Liam’s father, Neil Finn, has done what one would expect one of the greatest songwriters of his generation to do, in the event of his songwriting son getting married: he has written a new song for the occasion. It is debuted at the point in the wedding when everyone has been invited to do some ‘free expression dancing.’ ’Together/Together!’ the chorus of Island of Peace goes. ‘Welcome to ships coming in/Safe harbour/Let love begin/Everybody hold on/ Together!’ In honour of the local Greek gods, Poseidon himself (Liam’s brother, Elroy Finn, gamely wearing a beard, and waving a trident) has risen from the sea, to give his ‘blessing.’”
