Dream theater a change of seasons låttext betydelse?
Titelspåret spelades in i BearTracks Studios i New York och skulle ursprungligen släppas på albumet Images and Words från 1992, men spelades istället in på nytt och släpptes som en EP.  Även om låten innehåller ljudprov från filmen Dead Poets Society från 1989 (samt citat från Robert Herricks dikt från 1648, To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time) var texten, skriven av trummisen Mike Portnoy, inte inspirerad av filmen.  Istället "handlar den om livets kretslopp. I grund och botten tog jag en massa personliga händelser, som att förlora min mamma och ett par saker som hänt i mitt liv, och jag skrev in dem i texten". A Change of Seasons var också den första Dream Theater-utgåvan med Derek Sherinian på keyboards.
The title track was recorded at BearTracks Studios in New York and was originally slated to be released on the 1992 album Images and Words, but was instead re-recorded and released as an EP.  Although the song includes audio samples from the 1989 film Dead Poets Society (as well as quotes from the 1648 Robert Herrick poem, To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time), the lyrics, written by drummer Mike Portnoy, were not inspired by the film.  Instead, "it's about the cycle of life. Basically, I took a lot of personal incidents, like losing my mother and a couple of things that happened in my life, and I wrote them into the lyrics." A Change of Seasons was also the first Dream Theater release featuring Derek Sherinian on keyboards.
