The desire to change is a weird feeling and brings with it a dichotomy of emotions. You get a sense of wanting to move forward, of getting out of a (perhaps self-imposed) rut, but you also fear leaving behind the comfort and security of what you know. With ‘I Want To Change,’ I’m giving space to an...
[Verse 1]
White silver stripes, blue dot, black star
Big dreaming little ants, It's just who we are
Square circles running 'round on spare parts
I want to change our future, stop a war
[Chorus]
I want to change
I want to change what's to come
I want to change
I want to change the book
I want to change
I want to change the subject
I want to change into
[Verse 2]
Deep red, old flags from the past, hanging down
And the joy, the joysticks, army of drones, homeward bound
Clean green, green screen, on my phone, I'm allowed
To change our future, my future, from my couch
[Chorus]
I want to change
I want to change what's to come
I want to change
I want to change the book
I want to change
I want to change the subject
I want to change into
[Outro]
I want to change the way I feel
I want to change the way it looks
I want to change my attitude
I want to change
My initials, my name
I want to change
A butterfly in a cage
I want to change
And you want the same
I want to change
I want to change direction
I want to change
I want to change raw resurrection
I want to change
And you want the same
I want to change
I want to change

For this song, I changed the time from 4/4/ to 5/4 (I once did the same with the song ‘Carmen’, changing i...
Me wanting to change myself and the world around me. Being encouraged to do so by others and the (social) media, and you’re encouraging other people to. Wanting to change your faith, your future, but in a kind of passive manner. The easy way, the way it seems possible to change. The feeling of want...
A demo with a lot of stuff in it. With the producer we worked with a lot of the demo material, but we also went through a lot of changes. We knew we wanted to record the drums in a big space. We recorded the drums for this song and ‘National Song’ at a different studio, and I felt the production and...
