Summary
Split Enz, pre Time And Tide era: Neil and Tim Finn are off on holiday to find some inspiration and get early stage writing done before heading in for recording sessions after a long tour. However, despite having found success, life hasn’t been so easy for the Enz over the past several months. It’s been an especially turbulent time for Tim, who after a series of life trials is at wit’s end with writer’s block and facing a fearsome manifestation of his inner demons. Of which, in being lost for adequate words to describe, he can only refer to by a name of his own he’s given it. It’s not long before Neil finds that they’re on a more important mission than writing songs, and that’s he has a favor to return in helping his brother stay afloat, until they can find some peace.

Summary
Tim Finn hasn’t been the only one in Split Enz facing challenges around the pre Time and Tide period. While Tim is away on holiday with Neil, trying to break out of writer’s block and away from his personal demons, the rest of the band stays home to recover from touring and start composing new foundations for future tracks. It’s in the studio where Eddie Rayner has yet another one of the terrifying episodes he’s been having since an unusual encounter with a local on one of the stops along the last tour -and to his chagrin, this time, he can’t hide it or escape before prying eyes recognize the extent of its effect. Though perhaps he couldn’t have asked for a better person to be there with him.
