Songs About “Changes”
There are so many songs about changes. This song always reminded me ( along with Bowie’s Changes) that no matter what happens, everything changes except for change itself.
I know for me every time I get comfortable with the routine, cruising on “normal” – then something changes. And I feel silly thinking “why did that happen”? Because in the reality of life, changes are good. Things have to change, and when it feels like it hasn’t you have to wonder. Seasons, time, a purpose to everything (Turn, Turn, Turn by the Byrds).
So if you don’t know it now- “before long you will find out”.
What are songs in your life that signify changes?
It’s a matter of choices
And a matter of time
For you it’s a matter of drive
You will let nothing
Get in your way
You set to conquer
Each single day
Everything Changes
But change itself
You can take out
What you think you know put it
Back on the shelf
And would you believe me
If I’d spoke my mind?
‘Cause nobody gets there they just
Try, try, try
Everything Changes
But change itself
Like a bird you’d sooner fly away
But you’re stuck in yourself
As everything Changes….
We stay the same
But we stay the same
You keep turning
Before long you’re going to find out
What’s in a name
So you look for the answer
Then pull it apart
Tear it up ’til there’s nothing there
‘Cause it hurts your heart
Everything Changes
And for what you lack
You keep turning
Before long you’re going to find out
Everything Changes
It’s not hard to tell
Like a bird you’d sooner fly away
