Debuting in a high school gym in their home town of Toronto, Canada they went on to debut proper at Toronto's 'The Slither Club' in March 1988 and then opened for the likes of The Chills, The Verlaines and The Wedding Present.
Summer '89 and April '90 saw the release of 2 cassettes "Up North under Opulescent Skies" (9 songs) and "Pretty Mouth" (9 songs), respectively. It was from "Pretty Mouth" that Egg Records heard the band and made plans for a single release.
In March of '91 Mike and Cameron moved to Glasgow and Change of Seasons where back in a high school gym, further to recruiting local bassist (Scott) and drummer (Cliff Henderson). They debuted in Glasgow in June of that year and played a few gigs around town. The single "You Again"/"Soft Spoken" (EGG 008) was released in August. A few songs also made it on to compilation LP's and cassettes e.g. Souvenirs from Egg Records.
The end of the summer of 1991 saw Cameron return to Toronto and ultimately forming Tugboat.
Sweet Thing
Change of Seasons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your attention's been shifted
You summed up the feeling
With a simple dismissing
What you gonna do? Deceiving
It ain't you, believe it
But breaches they happen
Now inside she's lost it
Her torch light you snuffed it
She's burned out from wanting
You're pulling her heartstrings
To let go is heartache
This must be a mistake
But her natural reacton
Is to come apart when it's all done
You sewed shut the curtains
You closed out the light coming in
And all your friends you don't want near
You don't want advice, advice to hear
'Cause inside you're working
You're mending what's broken
'Cause our love ain't easy
It changes with seasons
Now inside she's lost it
Her torch light you snuffed it
She's burned out from wanting
You're pulling her heartstrings
To let go is heartache
This must be a mistake
But her natural reacton
Is to come apart when it's all done
Now inside she's lost it
Her torch light you snuffed it
She's burned out from wanting
You're pulling her heartstrings
To let go is heartache
This must be a mistake
But her natural reacton
Is to come apart when it's all done
Her love changes with every season
Ohhhh yeah
