While the band waited for the deal with Atco to be finalized in the middle of 1991, their A&R man, Derek Oliver encouraged them to continue writing songs. This resulted in them writing Pull Me Under, Surrounded, Another Day and Wait for Sleep. Having two new “commercial” songs (Surrounded and Another Day) they opted to use them in exchange for the older songs (To Live Forever and Don’t Look Past Me). Derek Oliver expressed concern that including A Change of Seasons would take the album “too far.” After much arguing, the band agreed to leave the song off the album, as long as they could record it later as an EP.
