This is from the "Lost In Music" section of the May 2001 Q Magazine (page 29)
Life's Big Moments all come with songs attached, tracks that beam you back in time whenever they're replayed. We all have them. Even pop stars. This month: Neil Finn
How Soon Is Now by The Smiths
"Someone vomited on me . . ."
"For me, the definitive London song is How Soon Is Now. At the beginning of Crowded House, me and Paul (Hester, drummer) came to London with our demo tapes and that song was a big hit at the time. I'd been to London before as a kid, and then it was always Waterloo Sunset that made me think of the place, cos it evoked a load of romantic dreamy notions of the city. Back then there was still a part of the New Zealand that clung to the UK - you grew up reading Roy of the Rovers and watching Coronation Street. When did the scales fall from my eyes? On that trip, actually. I went to the Marquee and someone vomited on me."
