"Seasons" is the debut single of Canadian hard rock band The Veer Union off the album Against the Grain. It was used as the theme song for the 2009 WWE Backlash PPV.

Song meaning

"In life, many people come up against an obstacle and give up or are so tainted by the traumatic event that they give up. 'Seasons' is a metaphor for starting over no matter what the circumstance. We all go through rough times in life, but we are still here, and as long as we live, we must enjoy life and carry on and learn from everything we experience, that’s what makes us human," said vocalist Crispin Earl in a 2010 interview.
