"Icehouse" was written by founding member Iva Davies when he lived at 18 Tryon Road, Lindfield in an old, cold flat of a two-storey mansion—across the street was a dishevelled house which had its lights on all night peopled by short-term residents.[2][3][4] Davies only learned that it was a half-way house for psychiatric and drug rehab patients after he wrote the song.[4] Russell Mulcahy, an expatriate Australian living in London, directed the music video for "Icehouse".[5] A remix version by Pee Wee Ferris & John Ferris was released on the Icehouse album Meltdown in 2002.[6]
