"Four Seasons in One Day" is a 1992 single released by rock group Crowded House. It was co-written by Neil Finn and brother Tim Finn, originally intended for their debut "Finn Brothers" album, however was moved onto the "Woodface" project as the two projects amalgamated. The song is written about the city of Melbourne as it is commonly known as being a city of "four seasons in one day for Neil Finn, was living in the city at the time, Melbourne seemingly has inspired dozens of songs.Neil Finn has told an Australian newspaper that Crowded House was a proud Australian band and most of its songs were inspired in Melbourne.

Speaking to the Melbourne Age after the band won a music award from the newspaper's online poll of 37,000 people, Finn said Melbourne was the "birthplace of Crowded House and was always the town we chose to return to. It's forever deeply ingrained in our collective psyche and was the backdrop for many of our best musical moments."

Finn said lyrics such as "the sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain" were actually inspired by driving around Melbourne in his old Holden.

In 2005, a tribute album was created featuring a collection of Neil and Tim Finn's songs reinterpreted by female singers as the album "She Will Have Her Way". "Four Seasons in One Day" was performed by Australian multi-instrumentalist Sally Seltmann, who is known by the stage name New Buffalo. The New Buffalo version was primarily recorded in the same way as the Crowded House version, however the song title was shortened to "Four Seasons".

The song was later released on the group's greatest hits collection "Recurring Dream" and was performed at the group's farewell performance in 1996, "Farewell to the World".

After the death of Crowded House drummer Paul Hester, Tim Finn and Neil Finn had been performing together as The Finn Brothers and as a tribute to Hester, played the song in his honour at their performances.
