    ah nadia, i love that song! and the lines, "I could go at anytime / There's nothing safe about this life" - so true, reminder to enjoy the time one has, and make the most of things.

    finn brothers can't get enough kudos really....i can't wait for neil to put out a new album, he's a genius.

    been on a major neil kick lately, listened to this tune earlier today, nice mellow crowded house tuneage for a sunday :)

    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

    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

    Amen!
    Finn brothers!
    Have to love them. No ego, just brilliant music.
    Yet to see them live and boy I can't wait for Neil or Tim to come my way again.

    Bought the best of Split Enz at a 2nd hand store about 3 months ago for $12 (US$7) and it's greatest. Simply stunning!
    Message to my Girl and Charlie are my favs.
    I had it all once I gave it back

    I have the 7 Worlds Collide dvd, the question is...can anyone recommend another good Finn. Bros. or Crowded House music dvd?

    If there are other dvd's out there that is?

    I just found this thread, I'm in heaven. The Finns were in LA last fall (?) I think for 2 nights and I couldn't go to either show, it killed me.
    It amazes me how many people have never heard of them. And I say "Don't Dream It's Over" and they go, oh yeah. And you hear their music on the radio or like in Starbucks all the time.
    They're so great.
    ("She Will Have Her Way" just came on my shuffle playlist...)
    Love the Finns.

    Love the Finns.
    it's great to see fellow PJ fans who have such love for the finns as well! lots of people only know neil by his crowded house work, or both him and tim by the split enz stuff. neil is such an underrated songwriter/singer, he is truly a gem. i've been lucky enough to see him a few times, and hope to see him again! i saw him with tim last year, their chemistry is so cool to see and hear.

    PJaddiction, yeah that album is awesome, one of my faves as well. the dvd is great, i'll pop it in every so often when i need a neil/ed fix :D

    Has anyone heard anything from Lisa Germano? I thought her backup vocals and instrumentation were beautiful on the "7 worlds" cd. I read somewhere that she played violin for John Mellencamp in the late 80's. At first she just seemed so out of place with Eddie, the Finn brothers, Phil Selway and Ed O'Brien, and Johnny Marr, but man, she kicked it in the ass. Does she have any cd's worth getting?
