where is that cartoon joke about the guy at Wind-Up who suggested The Change to be next single and was fired out of the window?  |

I've been on a "The Change" live marathon this whole morning. Oh My God! I miss Ev!!! So, what does she always say after "aaahhh---aaahhh-aaahhh---" usually the second time around?
I just wanna play this song and its many live versions over and over and over and over ...

Did Amy ever express or discuss what this song was about? I've always assumed it was about a single person, but one day, I started listening to it from a different perspective and it totally blew my mind how spot on it was. To me, I feel like this song is about working with Wind-Up and how over the years they've suppressed their creativity and forced them into a direction the band didn't want to go.
Remember all the times Amy said she tried to speak up for herself and fight for her music, only to have WU knock her down.
Amy always said that she loved the wordless part because it's like an outcry, you can hear the sheer frustration in this part.
To me this sounds like she wants to be rid of them but feels she can't leave because it's a necessary relationship, and maybe feels a bit dependant on them to help release the music. WU probably said they cared about the band but their actions clearly said otherwise.
As we've all seen, and as Amy has said herself, she's changed, she's not the same person she was in the beginning. But WU probably didn't see that. I'm guessing the more they worked together, the harder it was and more isolating it became. It must be difficult to make music when you're own record label doesn't believe in you.
She probably felt that by WU suppressing her creativity, that they were killing the band. And because she had no choice but to work with them, she had to go against some things that she believed. So all the while she had to answer to them, she probably felt that she wasn't being true to herself.

This is one song from Ev3 that I revisit a lot. The wordless chorus is great, the moodiness, particularly at the start, the great bridge/middle 8, the layers of vocals.....good stuff.
I vaguely remember Amy saying something that this song was a couple of different ideas merged together? Or have I imagined that?
