Split Enzis one of the most successful and longest running bands ever to emerge from New Zealand. The group was formed in Auckland in 1971 by Tim Finn, Philip Judd, , Robert Gillies, and Noel Crombie, who originally called themselves "Split Ends." They soon changed the spelling to honor their NZ homeland. For much of their career, the band was known for wild costumes and make-up designed by Crombie. For the first phase of their existence, the band played a kind of progressive rock infused with music-hall humor; later they slipped into a quirky new wavestyle that generated hits worldwide. Numerous personnel changes have been a defining factor for the Enz.

Take A Walk Lyrics
Split Enz
Time to split out my back door
Sunrise dancing on my wall
Heading down off beaten tracks
Try to get that feeling back
I could take a walk again
up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry what we leave behind
I could always find some peace
in the back of beyond
Kind voice from yesterday
Give love fill up every space
but now I laugh at simple truth
Sneer and frown like we all do
When the long night awakes
with memories a midnight feast
Feel the boy in me escape
There's a field of frost beneath my feet
Run, never tire, run boy, forever and ever
I could take a walk again
up a mountain to a stream
Standing on the open rock
Looking out over the sea
Funny when we move ahead
Never worry what we leave behind
Remember what a friend of mine said
You gotta be kind
[take a walk, take a walk... you gotta be kind... etc til fade]
