Changes - Yes

Yes is an incredibly musically talented band, with solid drums, guitar and vocals and then thrown on top, some killer keys and bass. Yet, people seem to be almost unaware of their existence. Yes has a couple killer albums, but the best by far is 90125, although it didn't do as well in the UK, it was this album that really helped them become known all over the world. Released in 1983, it contained hits such as Owner of a Lonely Heart, Hold on, Leave It, and my favorite Changes. The opening to this song is just so incredible, and its powerful ending to close out the album side makes you go running to flip the album and listen to side 2. This is a true testament to how good 80s music could have been if it tried.

Changes

I'm moving through some changes
I'll never be the same
Something you did touched me
There's no one else to blame

The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
We've given up pretending
As if you didn't care

Change changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes

I look into the mirror
I see no happiness
All the warmth I gave you
Has turned to emptiness
The love we had has fallen
The love we used to share
You've left me here believing
In love that wasn't there

Change changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Word to the wise - well you get what's coming
One word can bring you round
Changes

When I look into your eyes and try to find out how
There's no way to save it now
And everything I feel
Changes
Keep looking for
Changes
Changes

For some reason you're questioning why
I always believe it gets better
One difference between you and i
Your heart is inside your head

One word from you
One word from me
A clear design on your liberty
Who could believe when love has gone
How we move on like everyone

Only such fools
Only such jealous hearts

Only through love changes come

Change changing places
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes

One road to loneliness
It's always the same
One road to happiness
It's calling your name

Change changing places - changes
Root yourself to the ground
Capitalize on this good fortune
One word can bring you round
Changes

Change changing places
Changes
Root yourself to the ground
Word to the wise - well you get what's coming
One word - one word can bring you round
Changes
