Four Seasons In One Day
Neil Finn/Tim Finn
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

“We were both, Tim and I, pretty mercurial and riding emotional rollercoasters all the time. So it was a good description of the many moods of us collectively and individually.”
“The music was written first. I spent an afternoon in Melbourne playing a keyboard with string sounds on it, just writing string parts and playing piano parts. The music for both Into Temptation and Four Seasons in One Day happened at the same time. They were part of the same piece at one point, and are sister songs in tempo and atmosphere.”
“It was always a very intimate song, Four Seasons In One Day. Tim and I wrote that at the same time as a bunch of the others and we did a demo which was very stripped down. We became attached to that and we wanted it to be as close as possible. I like the idea of a song where the vocals are sitting right next to your ear and it’s very dry and there’s very little else to distract you. So we left that one alone.”
