One Crowded Hour

"One Crowded Hour" is a song by Australian indie rock band Augie March written by Glenn Richards.

The song had been played by both the band and acoustically by frontman, Glenn Richards, for upwards of two years before the album was finally released.

During the band's appearance on the live music TV show Cold: Live At The Chapel, Richards revealed the song was written while he was housesitting for Deborah Conway, and was inspired by, and named after, a book she owned about an Australian wartime photographer Neil Davis.

[7] Rolling Stone Australia noted the, "Twisting, romantic wordplay that is at turns both clever and earnest—it was upon penning this chorus Augie March would create a timeless pop song.
