(1988)"Something So Strong" is a rock song written by Neil Finn and performed by New Zealand/Australian band Crowded House for their debut album "Crowded House". It was released as the final single from the group's debut album. [Bailey, Marck; [http://www.etext.org/lists/house/ch-discography.html Comprehensive discography] of Crowded House including track listings for all albums and singles. Released 28 March, 1995. Retrieved 5 July, 2007.] The song lends its title to the book "Something So Strong" by Australian biographer Chris Bourke, which catalogues the band's career from forming to just after their breakup in 1996. According to the book, "Something So Strong" was the first song written specifically for Crowded House, however while in the studio, producer Mitchell Froom and Finn reworked parts of the song and as such, Froom is listed as a co-writer of the song.
