Tim Finn has some fantastic music in his solo career. He and Neil are both talented but the music they write is very distinct from each other. Split Enz had such a varied catalogue of music and they had such talented people who came and went through the years. Two of their best songs, IMO, are Six Months In A Leaky Boat and Message To My Girl.

Tim Finn was a Tenorino, the highest natural male voice range and his brother Neil was a tenor, there is no falsetto at all, he was just a naturally gifted artist who chose to sing popular music instead of opera.

[@christinedempsey93]

My favourite band when I was a teenager, dragged my sister along to many, many of their concerts, they're even better live

[@dculver3954]

As an ENZ fan from New Zealand, I believe the song may actually be about a fellow founding member of the band, with whom Tim had a deep, tortuous, love/hate relationship that almost destroyed the band. The band member left, leaving Tim free, but with the burden of being the primary song writer and front man until the arrival of his brother in the band. A lament for a failed relationship, dressed up as a love song.

Dirty Creature one of Split Enz best for me

[@sopyleecrypt6899]

I believe that Tim wrote this about the departure of songwriter Phil Judd from Split Enz. Phil and Tim had been friends since college when they formed the band. They had an often fractious relationship, but I think Tim thought a lot of him and really admired his talent. He was very hurt and angry about the way things ended. So although this can be interpreted as the breakup of a romantic relationship, it is about the end of a friendship* and working relationship. As well as Tim's voice, this song showcases the playing of keyboardist Eddie Rayner. Eddie had classical training and his swooping, dramatic, Richard Clayderman-esque style added so much to Split Enz's sound. *They did work together later. But I don't think they ever really repaired their friendship, and Phil has unfortunately struggled with his mental health over the years.

This was the soundtrack of my childhood. Grew up in New Zealand when Enz were at the height of their fame. I suppose the best way you could describe them would be 'Prog Rock'? 'Art Pop'?

[@gshingles]

Another Kiwi here who got this video suggested to me by the KZbin AI. It's great to see a positive reaction to the music being created while I was growing up here. I never thought this one was one of their strongest, but it is good. New Zealand had a vast pool of massively talented musicians and bands dating way back, to the likes of Ray Columbus through to the 60s, 70s, and 80s and on. Being sandwiched right between UK and US culture I think we could take our pick of the best styles and ideas, but sadly in that period our technical and physical isolation meant a lot of those acts just didn't make it much further than the Australian pub scene, or they formed up with Australians, eg Crowded House to make some inroads in the US charts. The biggest breakthroughs to of my mind would be Crowded House, OMC ("How Bizarre" ) and more recently Lorde. My top recommendations for the era though would be Th' Dudes "That Look in Your Eyes", No Tag "No Tag" (not very good recordings on YT though) and Tex Pistol & Rikki Morris "Nobody Else" for a bit of a cross section but by no means complete.

[@lumabi25]

Aussie here. Always loved this song. If I'm not mistaken, Tim Finn has suffered from depression and I imagine that has contributed to songs like this.

[@antrimlariot2386]

He had/has a robust, relatable melancholia many can attest to. Keep the songs coming, Tim.

[@dylanadams1455]

this song sounds like a song about lost love, but I beleive it was written about Phil Judd leaving the band and the guilt Tim felt at staying.

[@FionaStar32]

‘Six months in a leaky boat’ was about coping with depression. Their music and lyrics were always deep, meaningful, quirky-no sloppy love songs 🤩

[@colinm610]

I am a Kiwi (New Zealander). This song was a classic. Like a breath of fresh air at the time. It just slowed you down... I was about 12 years old when it came out (as you say a disco era kid). I never ever heard anyone 'dis' this song. Split Enz were Kiwis originally but they became famous across the water in Australia who ultimately claimed them for themselves as they always do. Nice.

[@annakeye]

*@Son of Buck* If you like this, you may like 'Counting the Beat' by 'The Swingers'. The band was formed by Phil Judd after he split the enz and went on to team up with two of Midnight Oil's future band members. Which reminds me, beside great Aotearoa-NZ music, check out Aussie's, 'Midnight Oil'. "The Power and the Passion" was their big break out hit, IIRC. I saw them play at a pub here in Christchurch and on came Peter Garrett (lead vocalist) and he pulled his hat off. Here was this absolute giant of a man throwing himself up in the air like he was coming into adolescence on a trampoline. One of my greatest band memories of the time. 1982.., again IIRC.

Although this track, is not classified as "disco" persay, Split Enz, still.... had a place in my repertoire. Good on you mate.... for putting this one out there.
