"Seasons of Change" is an Australian progressive rock song co-written by Neale Johns and John Robinson of Blackfeather, who recorded it in late 1970. It was intended as an album-only track for their debut album, At the Mountains of Madness (April 1971), and was handed by the songwriters to members of local rock group Fraternity, who had worked on Blackfeather's studio sessions. Fraternity relocated to Adelaide after recording their rendition of "Seasons of Change", which they issued as a single in March 1971.
After Fraternity's version appeared on Adelaide's radio charts, Blackfeather's version of the song was released in May by David Sinclair, the boss of their label, Infinity, peaking at number 15 on the Go-Set National Top 60. According to Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane, Fraternity's version "was overshadowed on the national charts by Blackfeather's more powerful rendition."
