About Us

"Never Tear Us Apart" is a single released by Australian rock group INXS in August 1988. It was included on the band's sixth studio album, Kick. The music was written by keyboardist Andrew Farriss, who recorded a blues-style demo; vocalist Michael Hutchence wrote the lyrics. "Never Tear Us Apart" is a sensuous ballad, written in the tempo of a modern Viennese waltz, layered with synthesizers and containing dramatic pauses before the instrumental breaks. Kirk Pengilly lends a cathartic saxophone solo near the end. According to the liner notes of Shine Like It Does: The Anthology (1979–1997), the song was composed on piano as a bluesy number in the style of Fats Domino. Producer Chris Thomas suggested a synth-based arrangement instead. The video for the song, featuring an extended intro, was filmed in various locations in Prague along with "Guns in the Sky" and "New Sensation", all directed by Richard Lowenstein. The single reached #24 in the UK, and stayed on the charts for seven weeks. In the U. S., it reached #7 on the Billboard Hot 100. more »

The world is always changing
You can see it everyday
But in a tragic situation
You just can't hide yourself away
So try a little kindness
Cause it shouldn't be that hard
You're shining in the darkness
When you open up your heart

Your love is all we need
To bring us together
Don't leave it to me, nothing's for free
It comes down to us

Hungry babies on television
Can you feel the shame
You've gotta keep on giving to one another
Cos it's all gonna happen again
Why don't you try a little kindness
Cause it shouldn't be that hard
Just think about what binds us
And find a new place to start

Your love is all, we need
To bring us together
Don't you leave it to me
Nothing's for free
It comes down to us

Your love is all we need
To bring us together
We're not indestructible
Some kind of miracle
Happens every day

Your love is all we need
To bring us together
Don't leave it to me
Nothings for free

Your love is all we need
To bring us together
We're not indestructible
Some kind of miracle
Happens every day
Oh it comes down to us
It comes down to us
We all have to stop, stop,
Stop pretending now
It comes down to us

INXS

INXS (pronounced "in excess", In-XS) were an Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. Mainstays were Garry Gary Beers on bass guitar, Andrew Farriss on guitar and keyboards, Jon Farriss on drums, Tim Farriss on lead guitar and Kirk Pengilly on guitar and saxophone. For 20 years, INXS were fronted by Michael Hutchence on lead vocals, whose "sultry good looks" and magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band. Initially known for their New Wave/ska/pop style, they later developed a harder pub rock style, including funk and dance elements. more »
