Changes
Charles Bradley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel so sad
I have lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman
I love her so
But it's too late now
I let her go
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes (in my life)
Oh
Oh, baby
Oh, no no
We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes, oh, in my life
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, ooh ooh
It took so long
To realize
I can still hear her
Last goodbyes
And now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I can go back
And change these years
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes, oh
Oh, it hurts so bad
Oh
In my life, in my life
It's gotta be a change in my life
Oh
These little changes in my life
It hurts so bad
Somebody gotta help me

Left home at 12
because he was scared his mum would hurt him
Homeless at 12
Battled with awful unemployment, quality of life, literacy and opportunity.
He learnt things, went to shows with his sister for James brown and found an admiration.
He battled through life for a long time, getting jobs wherever he could.
He reconnected with his estranged mother.
At the age of 60/61, Charles Nephew killed Charles's brother.
4-5 years later his mother's health decreased rapidly and she passed away, this MV is shot shortly after her passing.
1-2 years later, doctors discover a cancerous tumour in Charles, he had to cancel his tour, he battled, but eventually the cancer spread to his liver and he lost his battle to cancer.
R.I.P Charles, its a life story well worth looking into.
Like this so everybody can see what this man had to go through, he only started music in his late 50's/early 60's and still made it and became successful, there's no excuse if he can do it all of us can!
