Split Enz
Split Enz were a New Zealand band formed in 1972. Regarded as the first New Zealand band to gain significant recognition outside of Australasia, they were initially noted for their progressive rock, progressive/art rock sound, flamboyant visual style and theatrical performances. The band later moved toward a pop/new wave sound that yielded the breakthrough hit single "I Got You (Split Enz song), I Got You" (1980). Split Enz broke up in 1984. Since that time, the band has staged several brief reunions. History Tim Finn/Phil Judd era (1972–1977) Originally named Split Ends, presumably referencing Trichoptilosis, split ends of hairs, the band were formed by songwriters Tim Finn (vocals) and Phil Judd (guitar/vocals).

I Walk Away
"I Walk Away" is a song written by Neil Finn, and originally recorded by Finn's group Split Enz. It was released in September 1984 as the lead single from their final studio album ''See Ya 'Round'', and was a chart hit in New Zealand and Australia. Finn's next group, Crowded House, re-recorded the song for the North American version of Crowded House (album), their self-titled debut album of 1986. (''See Ya 'Round'' was not issued in the U.S., and therefore the song "I Walk Away" was new to U.S. audiences.) "I Walk Away" was not included on the original Australian/NZ release of ''Crowded House'', but all later re-issues of the album in all countries include "I Walk Away" as a standard track. The Crowded House version of the song is slightly rewritten from the original Split Enz version, and features a different verse. Finn sings both the Split Enz and Crowded House versions of "I Walk Away", and Paul Hester (who was a member of both groups) was the drummer on both. Reception Re ...
