“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.”

“That line [Four seasons in one day] was inspired by being in Melbourne, where it can be super-hot and sunny and it is quite common for big dark clouds to suddenly roll in and the temperature to drop by about 20 degrees. It’s always a magnificent sight, with the sun still shining, and there is a stretch of beautiful botanical garden in Melbourne that’s called the Domain. It was a very direct image of the wonder of that particular event and the contradictory weather events going on.”

“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.”
