"Into Temptation" is a 1988 song by rock group Crowded House. It was the third single from the group's second album ''Temple of Low Men''. The single peaked at #59 on the Australian ARIA singles chart in January 1989. "Into Temptation" appears on Crowded House's greatest hits album ''Recurring Dream''.

Reception Junkee said, "If you ever needed an example of how convincing Neil Finn’s songwriting is, consider this: Sharon Finn thought Neil was cheating on him because of this song. Add in the undercurrent of Hester’s unmistakable jazz-brush finesse and a synth-string orchestral sweep, and you’re left with one of the band’s most emotive, understated moments." ''Nexus'' noted the, "sparse verse instrumentation, vocals front and centre, followed by a lush chorus with a melody that draws you in, its simplicity is a masterstroke and its effectiveness is mea ...

Song Recordings Produced By Mitchell Froom
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers ...
