You've Changed
Ella & Count Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's been a-stealin' through my brain is not to be ignored
But to really tell the truth, though I'm not a well-known sleuth
I honestly believe that you are bored
You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You've changed
You've changed
Your kisses now are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed
You've forgotten the words "I love you"
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you ever cared
You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now
You've changed
You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now, yes, it's all over now
You've changed
In Ella & Count's song "You've Changed," the lyrics tell the story of a person who's realizing their significant other has changed from the person they used to know. The singer has noticed that the spark in their partner's eyes is gone, and their kisses are no longer passionate. They feel like their love is being taken for granted and that their partner has become bored with them, as their caring and loving behaviour has dwindled. The singer observes that their partner has forgotten the words "I love you" and has stopped appreciating the memories they've shared. The singer feels like it's all over now, and their relationship has come to an end due to the significant changes in their partner's behaviour.
The song is an example of a classic torch song, which refers to popular music songs that are mainly about unrequited love and loneliness. The song is also an excellent showcase of the jazz genre, featuring saxophones and piano solos, making it a perfect fit for a dark and smoky jazz club.

I've an awfully funny feeling that this thought
That's been a-stealin' through my brain is not to be ignored
I have a strange feeling that this idea that's been occupying my mind cannot be overlooked.
But to really tell the truth, though I'm not a well-known sleuth
I honestly believe that you are bored
To be honest, despite not being an expert detective, I sincerely think that you are disinterested.
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed
I have noticed that the twinkle in your eyes has vanished, your grin is now perfunctory and unfeeling, and it's causing me emotional pain. You have changed.
Your kisses now are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed
When we kiss, it feels listless and unexciting. It seems like you are apathetic towards our entire relationship, and I am struggling to comprehend why. You have changed.
You've forgotten the words "I love you"
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you ever cared
You have stopped saying "I love you," and it's like you have erased all the precious moments we've had together. You don't seem to acknowledge the beauty in the world around you, and I find it difficult to believe that you ever truly cared about me.
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now, yes, it's all over now
You've changed
You don't have to say it outright, but I know that our relationship is over. Everything is finished now, and I know that you have changed.

Sweet Ella, she was the best female vocalist of her time. Her inflections are just perfect. No wonder so many loved hearing her sing.

Lady Ella -- truly one of the greats, and major influence for many artist who listened to her and have followed her lead. We miss her but are so grateful we have her recordings so that we'll never forget her remarkable talent!

Ella earned and wore her badge of "first lady of song" with honor and humility. No one can ever do exactly what she did although many try, her scat was just one facet of her remarkable and inimitable range and talent. Brava, Ella!
@rawrec
To die for. Lovely. Classic. Eloquent phrasing. Recording quality is superb.

The first piece of advice to young jazz musicians aiming to improvise over a standard is often: go listen to the Ella Fitzgerald version, a lot. The reasons for that are richly on display here.
