"There Goes God" turns up on Crowded House's 1991 album Woodface, written by Neil Finn and Tim Finn, and it's a sly, sweet-natured tune with a title that raises an eyebrow. Ricky Fataar handles the drums and percussion, Chris Wilson blows harmonica, and Peter Bucknell's violin and Vince Parsonage's viola add a bit of string-section sweetness. Neil Finn produced it with Mitchell Froom, and Bob Clearmountain mixed.
