• Looking through this clear vinyl window
  At the city and its lights
  As people are walking everywhere
  It's humanity in my sights
  
  "Song Of The Seasons" is Young looking out at the world through the window of a country house and appreciating the simple beauty of it all. The lyrics may seem mundane if not for the fact that the song was recorded and released during the COVID19 pandemic when people all over the world yearned for real-life companionship.
  
  A soft optimism glows through the song as Young watches the seasons turn. There's no particularly hopeful sign or sentiment given other than the persistence of change itself. The song is a gentle reminder that even pandemics, in time, will pass.
