Into Temptation - Crowded House - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Neil Finn captivates the listener the moment he opens his mouth on folk-pop gem "Into Temptation," singing in typically muted and toned-down fashion while also reminding of his gift for beautiful songwriting. On this 1988 song, the New Zealand band's lead singer envisions a hot-blooded encounter. "You opened up your door / I couldn't believe my luck / You in your new blue dress / Taking away my breath / The cradle is soft and warm / It couldn't do me no harm / You're showing me how to give," he teases, while strangely alluding to the phenomena of LA earthquakes ("Into temptation / Knowing full well, the Earth will rebel"). "Into Temptation" ascended to Number 59 on the Australian ARIA singles chart in January 1989 and was featured on Crowded House's second studio album, Temple of Low Men, as well as on their greatest hits album Recurring Dream: The Very Best of Crowded House, which was released in 1996.
