Definitely my favourite along with Disappear. The bridge lyrics are epic!
''But how could I forgive you? You changed! And I'm a liar by your side''
Your interpretations?

Totally love it and relate it to my stupid ex!!!!!! "thought that I was strong, I know the words I need to say, frozen in my place, and let the moment slip away" "the more that I am with you the more I feel all alone" "and your dreaming if your thinking that I still belong with you, I'm dying cuz I'm lying to myself"
This is how I felt all the time, but really I should quote the whole songxD

I love this song with a passion. If i had to be objective, i'd say this is not the "best" song off Ev3. It doesn't really offer anything new or fresh, i guess that a lot of people may think this song is not the big deal and if i had to compare it to the likes of ET, NGB or SH, i know those songs are probably "better", they offer a different side of Ev, while TC leans more towards your typical Ev song, it has that vibe. And besides, it is yet about another loving relationship, which is a very used and abused subject by Amy.
BUT, for some reason this is the song that i enjoy the most off the whole album. Idk if it's the melody, Amy's voice or Will's drums or what, but all i can say is that this is always the first song i want to listen to when i play the record. This is always the song i NEED to listen to and i haven't got tired of it at all now after a whole year listening to it. I have to clarify that i don't really listen to the album all the time, but when i listen to it, i'm ALWAYS dying to hear "the change" for some reason that i can't quite tell. It's weird what i feel about this song. I feel an unconditional love for it that maybe the song itself doesn't "deserve", but i can't help it, i love it.
Now, live it's not a song i really, really enjoy, because i don't like the way Amy performes it most of the time. Same with NGB. I love it on the album , but live i rather skip it, except some performences here and there that are particularly good. Musically though, they're both amazing live, especially NGB.

I guess I am the only one who doesn't like the song. I nearly always skip this song. I don't know, it's just so dull. I mean, no I don't plug my ears and run away but..

^ I was thinking the same thing when the album first came out, but now it's one of my top 3 Ev3 songs. I don't know what changed my mind..

Oh, thanks for the link! I absolutely suck at finding things. Okay, off-topicness over. I simply cannot get over the epicness of the acoustic performance of The Change. Personally I love how her voice breaks and I wonder if she lets it do that or if it's unintentional. I think it gives it so much more intensity. I think Amy was really struggling that day. It was also clear during My Heart is Broken. I listened to the BigFM recording this morning and I noticed that song just wasn't up to par. I have yet to find a live recording of MHIB that I really love(other than Sirius XM). Anyways, back to The Change. Whether multiple voice cracks were intentional or not(though I'm not sure how you could let it happen on purpose) it gave a more intense, vulnerable feel to the song, like Mary has stated earlier. While it would have sounded better if she had bothered to at least get a drink of water before the song, I believe it sounds wonderful the way it is, with all its imperfections. It makes Amy more human(not that she isn't). It shows that even the most "perfect" of people can in fact make mistakes.

Does anyone else feel like this is the perfect break-up or falling out song under miserable circumstances?

I remember that, vocally speaking, the acoustic version of MHIB in that radio show in Australia (30 countdown or something?? ) was my favorite by far. At least in terms of Amy's voice. Of course it was played only with acoustic guitar, with no drums or anything, but it sounded cool anyway.

Ya at first I wasn't too fond of the song, but then I grew into it. I do love the acoustic version as well, yeah her voice cracked, but that's part of doing things live. I'm pretty sure in an interview somewhere they said it was REALLY hot in there while performing.
This was from Rockville, and she did an awesome job performing it considering it was HOT and the sun was blinding them lol.

I am super fangirling over the acoustic version. It's tons better than the album version.

I found this cover on youtube and had to share! He's so talented. I love The Change, it's one of my favorite songs on the album and it was the first song to really jump out at me. Yet, I have to admit I slightly love this arrangement more than the original!
