Song of the Day

Tim Finn’s ballad “Persuasion”, from his 1993 album Before and After, was named ‘Song of the Day’ on January 20 by the New Jersey Star-Ledger’s Tris McCall. McCall declares Before and After “one of the best albums of 1993, inside and outside of New Zealand”, and the album “Finn’s last genuine crack at the US market.” “Challenged to come up with a Valentine’s Day mix, ‘Persuasion’ was one of the first songs I thought about. Tim Finn is so passionate, you see, and he’s clearly head over heels for somebody he shouldn’t be entertaining such feelings for. Upon further consideration, it occurred to me: should this song be your Valentine’s Day theme, chances are, you aren’t in for a very happy evening.”
