Changes (David Bowie song)
"Changes" is a song by David Bowie, originally released on the album ''Hunky Dory'' in December 1971 and as a single in January 1972. Despite missing the Top 40, "Changes" became one of Bowie's best-known songs. The lyrics are often seen as a manifesto for his chameleonic personality, the frequent change of the world today, and frequent reinventions of his musical style throughout the 1970s.〔 This single is cited as David Bowie's official North American debut, despite the fact that the song "The Man Who Sold the World" was released in North America two years prior.〔"Watch that Man" by Tina Clarke, Music Express magazine, March 1990, page 9〕 This was the last song Bowie performed live on stage before his retirement from live performances at the end of 2006.
==Music and lyrics==
Bowie has said that the track "started out as a parody of a nightclub song, a kind of throwaway".〔Loder, Kurt Loder; Bowie, David (1989). ''Sound and Vision'': CD liner notes〕 The musical arrangement featured the composer's saxophone, Rick Wakeman's keyboards and Mick Ronson's strings, while the stuttering chorus has been compared to The Who.〔Blake, Mark (ed.) (2007). "Future Legend", ''MOJO 60 Years of Bowie'': pp.74-75〕
The lyrics focused on the compulsive nature of artistic reinvention ("Strange fascination, fascinating me / Changes are taking the pace I'm going through") and distancing oneself from the rock mainstream ("Look out, you rock 'n' rollers"). The song has also been interpreted as touting "Modern Kids as a New Race",〔 a theme echoed on the following album track, "Oh! You Pretty Things". ''Rolling Stones contemporary review of ''Hunky Dory'' considered that "Changes" could be "construed as a young man's attempt to reckon how he'll react when it's his time to be on the maligned side of the generation schism".
