I neglected this record for years and when I finally listened to it from front to back, I was so surprised. Split Enz is my favourite band of all time.
shame the record label dropped the album for uk and usa release. probably more potential for this particular sound they was making for the music scene at that time. they only had to listen to what was being played on the radio at that time. this particular track in my opinion would of been one of there bigger singles in u.k and i believe it's more suited to american radio play. such a musical waste of what was so close to them cracking that market. on the other hand. such a great surprise to find today though.
One of my fave songs….EVER!

This song more or less remains undiscovered to this day.
Neil Finn is the most underrated songwriter around today.
Best song on the album.
Years do go by but the songs remain the same and it will never change especially the memories.
Still fantastic after all these years!
I've always thought of this as Neil Finn's Bond song
See Ya Round is of course just pre-Nick Crowded House. They're all Neil songs, and Eddie will of course "stick around" for years ;-)
;-)
Still one of my favourites :-)

I argee, then Split Enz would've kept going too
reminds me of an early World Where you Live before Crowded House formed
Years Go By
Split Enz
She gets up in the afternoon
The sun will set behind her
When the twilight comes
The magic one, will gaze on you
Seconds last for hours all evening
This purple room is breathing
To the milky way I turn my gaze
It's a mystery
Years go by, wonder what you did
Yet in a minute you can change your life
All depends on your state of mind
One thing to be sure of is we live and die
Fear and doubt no longer harbour lies
Love not grow old where we reside
'Tis enough for now to set you down
And gaze on you
Years go by, wonder what you did
Yet in a minute you can change your life
All depends on your state of mind
One thing to be sure of is we live and die
Songwriters: Eddie Rayner / Neil Finn
