Say It Is So

Say It Is So is the fifth studio album by New Zealand singer/songwriter Tim Finn.

After the release of 1993's Before & After Finn was left without a record company. He met producer Jay Joyce in Nashville, in 1998 with whom he worked. No record company was interested in the album so he released it independently.

Track listing
In the track Some Dumb Reason there is the line "feeding the gods". This became the title of Finn's next album (and continues a long-standing continuity theme of Split Enz, Crowded House and Neil and Tim Finn albums using phrases from their other songs). In contrast, the Feeding the Gods album also contained a song entitled Say It Is So.
