The Changingman
"The Changingman" is a song released by Paul Weller as the lead single from his 1995 album Stanley Road. It charted at #7 on the UK Singles Chart.
==Background==
The Changingman was co-written by Brendan Lynch, and performed, written and produced by Paul Weller, who sings and plays guitar, piano and shakers on the record. Carleen Anderson provides back-up vocals, as does Steve Cradock and Dr. Robert who also play the guitar and bass guitar respectively. In addition, Steve White plays drums and Brendan Lynch played the Cyremin. The song sampled the Electric Light Orchestra's 10538 Overture at Lynch's suggestion and on the agreement that if ELO sued it came out of Lynch's royalties; it also borrowed from The Beatles' Dear Prudence, which inspired the ELO record. Weller claimed that the song's title came from the name his daughter Leah gave to one of her dolls, although at the time his friend Terry Rawlings managed a band called that.〔 The song expresses Weller's mantra of breaking things up if they are getting too comfortable; the previous year, he had divorced his wife, Dee C. Lee, breaking up what appeared to the public to be a happy marriage. In an interview with Mojo in 2010, he expressed that this was because there were senses "that things were going too well, we were too happy, too comfortable, everything seemed too nice () that for me as a writer and an artist I might lose my edge. I had to break the shape up, re-arrange things", noting that said turmoil supplanted the lyrics of the entire parent album and stated that the lyric 'numbed by the effect, aware of the muse, too in touch with myself, I light the fuse' "was about the process of causing chaos around you".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Changingman by Paul Weller )〕
