I NU’s “Seasons” is a reflective song inspired by a major life change—the decision to leave France and begin a new chapter in New Caledonia. The move brought a completely different relationship with time and nature, as the familiar four seasons of Europe gave way to the warmth and rhythms of life in the South Pacific.
The song captures the emotional journey that comes with such a transformation. At first, there is nostalgia for the changing seasons left behind, but this gradually develops into acceptance and appreciation for a new environment. Images of wind, the horizontal moon and the vast Pacific Ocean help create a sense of peace and wonder.
Interestingly, audiences have also found another meaning in “Seasons,” interpreting the song as a reflection on climate change. Although this was not the original intention, the double reading adds another layer to the track and allows listeners to connect with it in different ways.
The song features vocals from Marianne and Hnaweje Canehmez, alongside Weissenborn guitar, guitar, ukulele, double bass and percussion. Together, the musicians create an atmospheric sound that reflects both movement and tranquility.
