There'll Be Some Changes Made
Embracing Change: A Musical Journey of Transformation
Lyrics
They say don't change the old for the new
Expressing skepticism about preserving the old ways over embracing the new.
But I've found out that this will never do
Realization that sticking to the old ways is not sustainable or beneficial.
When you grow old don't last long
Reflection on the brevity of life, emphasizing the transient nature of aging.
You're here today and then tomorrow you're gone
Highlighting the unpredictability of life, with people coming and going.
I loved a man for many years gone by
Recalling a long-lasting love from the past.
I thought his love for me would never die
Believing in the eternal nature of a past love, which is about to be challenged.
He made some changes that would never do
Noticing undesirable changes in the partner that affect the relationship negatively.
From now on I'm going to make some changes too
Deciding to make personal changes in response to a failing relationship.
For there's a change in the weather
Observing changes in the external environment, possibly symbolizing life's unpredictability.
There's a change in the sea
Noting changes in the sea and weather, mirroring personal transformation.
So from now on there'll be in change in me
Committing to personal change in response to external and internal shifts.
My walk will be different, my talk and my name
Detailing specific changes in demeanor, walk, talk, and name.
Nothin' about me is going to be the same
Emphasizing a comprehensive transformation, leaving nothing unchanged.
I'm goin' to change my wayof livin'
Expressing a determination to change one's lifestyle.
If that ain't enough
Stating a willingness to make further changes if needed.
Then I'll change the way that I strut my stuff
Being open to altering personal style and behavior for the sake of acceptance.
'Cause nobody wants you when you're old and gray
Highlighting society's tendency to disregard the elderly.
There'll be some changes made today
Reiterating the commitment to make immediate changes.
There'll be some changes made
Reinforcing the idea that changes are inevitable and necessary.
The say the old time things are the best
Acknowledging the value of old-fashioned things.
That may be very good for all the rest
Recognizing that what's best for others may not suit the speaker.
But I'm goin'g let the old things be
Rejecting the adherence to old things that don't fit the speaker's life.
'Cause they are certainly not suited for me
Asserting that certain old things are unsuitable for the speaker's present situation.
There was a time when I thought that way
Reflecting on a past mindset that led to current loneliness.
That's why I'm all alone here today
Attributing present solitude to a previous preference for old ways.
Since every one these days seeks something new
Observing a societal trend of seeking novelty and new experiences.
From now on I'm goin' to seek some new things too
Committing to embrace new things in response to societal shifts.
For there's a change in the fashion
Noticing changes in fashion as a representation of societal evolution.
Ask the femine folks
Referring to women's opinions on changing fashion trends.
Even jack benny has changed jokes
Highlighting even established figures like Jack Benny adapting to change.
I must make some changes from old to new
Acknowledging the need for personal change from old habits to new ones.
I must do things just the same as others do
Expressing a commitment to conform to societal norms.
I'm goin' to change my long, tall daddy for a little short fat
Expressing a willingness to trade a former partner for someone different.
Goin' to change the number where I live at
Indicating a desire to change one's residence, seeking a new environment.
I must have some lovin' or I'll fade away
Stating a need for love and companionship to avoid emotional decline.
There'll be some changes made today
Reiterating the urgency of making immediate changes.
There'll be some changes made today
Emphasizing the inevitability of forthcoming changes.
