Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain
Even when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day
Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again
You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can't explain
Four seasons in one day
Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day
It doesn't pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day
Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

And now I think the Finn brothers are incredible...but it took some time to get there! Very sweet and thougtful comment, "Kitty". I guess it happens to everybody - me certainly too! "Porcupine Tree" is one example. |

Don't be such a Fred, Riley and blow things completely out of proportion! Who takes "Four seasons in one day" as NEW WAVE is worth a statement!

| cdnabroad (Monterey, CA) | Posted: Mar 28, 2012 - 13:25 I had the pleasure of hearing them do this song live. They really put on a great show and I hadn't heard this song until that concert. Have been a fan ever since.  |

Dammit. I know of a few bands that I did this to. Sometimes a "hit" comes out, slick and overplayed, and it's easy to tune it out. For me, sometimes it takes a few years of maturity, or life experience, or increased depth...who knows...but then I hear things again with new ears and do what you did.

That was uncalled for, Stingray. Play nice or swim back to your little toxic ocean. Your nastiness is not wanted. |

| Sweet_Virginia | Posted: Nov 17, 2011 - 07:56 Check out SPLIT ENZ on youtube for some early music from the Finn brothers. |
| GuiltyFeat (Ra'anana) | Posted: Aug 23, 2011 - 02:57 I saw them in Wembley Arena years ago and they pulled a guy up from the crowd and let him pick this out on Neil's guitar. It was awesome. |

They are a good pair but there is rejection rate of uploaded tunes that can be surprizing.It's Bill's channel, and I respect, honor and enjoy the benign dictatorship. And the heavy rotation of Crowded House and the Finn Brother's various incarnations is awesome. Neil Finn is one of the greatest songwriters of the past 30 years. This song is fantastic. What I don't understand is how Crowded House's 'Distant Sun' doesn't make the RP playlist. Their best song, in my (biased) opinion. |

| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Sep 23, 2009 - 22:25 Whenever you hear the crowdies you can't help but remember you've been neglecting them. Just popped my private universe, into temptation and pineapple head onto my mp3 player for the trip to work. |
