Song History
This was the first single from the 1996 Mune Mud album Equation of Time.

Jason was renting a small farmhouse with his friend Darrin when this song was recorded. It was a nice, sunny, warm March Sunday and Jason decided to record a song about the upcoming season. With the Studio window open, letting the cool breeze blow in, the song was recorded. It was recorded as the opposite of "Winter Song", which was recorded two months earlier during a snowstorm.

Track Breakdown
The first track is the version that appeared on the album.

The second track was recorded two months before the first. It was recorded in January on a day that took him almost two hours to drive home from work because of a heavy snow storm. As soon as he got home he called his boss and said he would not be in to work the next day either. And to make things worse, the power went off for a little while. So when the power came back on he recorded this song. The song did appear as a bonus track on the Equation of Time 10th Anniversary Collection.

The third track is the instrumental version of the album track.
