Change Lyrics

As I stand here
I ponder greater things
You're no longer a part of
A part of your lover's dreams

So much for your
Common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation

For what's to come
It's all been written
Down, written down

But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said, I feel so alive now
And you know, I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come

As I sit here
I'll tell you greater things
You're no longer a part of
A part of someone else's dreams

So much for your
Your common escalations
So much for your
Constant fabrications

For what's to come
It's all been written down, down, down
I said for what's to come
For what's to come your way
It's all been written down, written down

But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said, a change is gonna come

Oh yeah
[Incomprehensible]

Keep on time, keep on time
You run along
Keep on child, keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time, I run around for you

Keep on time, keep on time
You run along
Keep on child, keep on child
You push it on

Keep on my time now
I run around for you
Run around for you
But you've gotta keep on, keep it on

You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But, you'll feel it in your soul

You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But, you feel it in your soul

Feel it in your soul now
Do you feel that a change is gonna come on?
Do you feel that a change is gonna come on?

No, as I lay here
I wanna fall asleep
No longer, no longer
A part of your TV screen
A part of your TV dreams

I said, so much for your
So much for your
Your common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation

For what's to come
It's all been written
Down, written down

But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come

Do you feel that a change is gonna come?
Do you feel that a change is gonna come?
Do you feel that a change is gonna come?

Candlebox is a rock band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in December 1991, they originally named the band Uncle Duke and later changed it as a tribute to a song by Midnight Oil. They were sometimes looked down upon by grunge fans for their style, which was considered by many to be a derivative version of true grunge, and their commercial success suffered as a result. Despite this, the band played the Seattle club circuit during the early 1990s to the many of the same fans who had supported many of the bands that had come immediately before them. The members did not consider Candlebox to be a grunge band however; they viewed themselves as a rock and roll band more than anything. Nevertheless, Candlebox had sold more than 4 million copies of their self-titled debut which, after many months of gaining momentum, peaked at number 7 on Billboard's album charts. Their follow up album, Lucy, was certified as platinum. Their third and last album was Happy Pills, which was released in 1998. Candlebox was the first successful act on Madonna's Maverick Records, which went on to sign Alanis Morissette, Deftones, and Prodigy.

Candlebox was known for an explosive live show and throughout their 8 year career, they toured with such bands as Living Colour, The Flaming Lips, Our Lady Peace, Rush, Henry Rollins, and Metallica. They were also a featured band on the main-stage at Woodstock '94 and made repeat live performances on the David Letterman show.

They are best known for the singles "Change", "You", "Far Behind" and "Simple Lessons". "Far Behind" entered Billboard's Top 20 in July of 1993 and didn't drop off the charts until January of 1994. The videos for "Far Behind" and "You" were in seemingly perpetual rotation on MTV and became two of the most requested videos of 1993.

Drummer Scott Mercado left the band in 1997 and was replaced by former Pearl Jam member Dave Krusen. Krusen later left the band in 1999 and was replaced by Shannon Larkin of Ugly Kid Joe. Bardi Martin also left the band that year, and was replaced by Rob Reddick (formerly of Dig). The band split in year 2000.

As of 2005, singer Kevin Martin is currently recording and performing as the leader of The Hiwatts. Peter Klett is currently recording and performing as the leader of redlightmusic.

In 2006, Candlebox has reunited with their original line-up. They went on a three-month North American tour beginning on July 1st of the same year. This marks their first collaboration since 1996.

In 2008, Candlebox released their fourth studio album called "Into the sun". This meant their return since 1998's Happy Pills. Also, they released a Live album called "Alive in Seattle" which includes tracks from all their past albums.

In 2009, Kevin Martin (along with Sean Hennesy, Candlebox's guitarist) helped form the super-group The Gracious Few with three of the members of the band LIVE. Functioning as lead singer, the band went on to release a self-titled album which accompanied an extensive tour. Though LIVE has reformed with a new lead singer, more material from The Gracious Few is said to be released in the future Read more on Last.fm.
