You've Changed
Eva Cassidy Lyrics
(Baby we both know that things
Have really changed between us)
Mmmm you've changed
That sparkle in your eye is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now
You've changed
You've changed
You're bored with me in every way
You're breaking my heart
You've changed
You've forgotten the words I love you
Sweet memories that we shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize that 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 forgotten the words I love you
Each memory that we share
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you've ever cared
You've changed
That sparkle in your eye is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
It's all over now
You've changed
Yes it's all over now
You've changed
(It's all over baby)

She had a diverse repertoire of jazz, blues, folk, gospel and pop. Cassidy remained virtually unknown outside of her native Washington, DC, when she died of melanoma (which had spread to her bones) in 1996. Her posthumously released recordings have since sold in excess of four million copies, and in early 2001 the compilation album Songbird reached #1 on the UK album charts.
Eva Cassidy was the third of four children born to Hugh and Barbara Cassidy. From an early age, she displayed artistic and musical talent. When she was nine years old, her father taught her to play the guitar, and she began to play and sing at family gatherings.
While a student at Bowie High School, she did sing with a local band, called Stonehenge, and received considerable praise.
At the age of eighteen, Cassidy began her professional career, singing and playing guitar in a Washington, D.C., area band, called Easy Street. This band performed in a variety of styles, at weddings, corporate parties, and pubs.
During the summer of 1983, Cassidy sang and played guitar, six days per week, at Wild World, in Maryland. Her brother Dan was also a member of this working band.
Throughout the 1980s, Cassidy worked with a number of other bands, including the soul and Motown-oriented band The Honeybees, and the techno-pop band Characters Without Names, later called Method Actor.
During this period, Cassidy also worked as a propagator at a plant nursery and as a furniture painter in Annapolis, Maryland. In 1986, she met (bassist and recording engineer) Chris Biondo, who encouraged her and helped her find work as a backup singer for various acts. In 1990, Biondo and Cassidy hired the so-called "Eva Cassidy Band", composed of Chris Biondo, Lenny Williams, Keith Grimes and Raice McLeod, and she began to perform frequently in the Washington area.
In 1992, Biondo played a tape of Cassidy's voice for Chuck Brown. Best known as the "Godfather of Go-go", Brown is also a jazz and blues vocalist. This led to the first commercial recording of Cassidy, the duet album with Chuck Brown, The Other Side; which featured performances of classic songs such as "Fever", Billie Holiday's "God Bless the Child" and Cassidy's signature tune "Over the Rainbow". The album was released and distributed by Liaison Records, the label that also released Brown's Go-go albums. The duet CD attracted the attention of various record companies, but the offers all required Cassidy to pigeonhole herself within a single style (e.g., pop or jazz), something she adamantly refused to do.[citation needed]
In 1993 Eva Cassidy was first honored by the Washington area music community when she was awarded two Wammie awards for "Female Vocalist Roots/Traditional R&B" and "Vocalist Jazz/Traditional." The next year she was chosen to perform for the awards ceremony.
In January 1996, Cassidy recorded the album Live at Blues Alley, about which The Washington Post later commented that "she could sing anything and make it sound like the only music that mattered". [1] Cassidy was unhappy with her singing on the album, because she had a bad cold on the night of the recording; she began recording a studio album which was eventually released as Eva by Heart posthumously in 1997.
During a promotional event for the Live at Blues Alley CD in July 1996, Cassidy noticed an ache in her hips, which she attributed to stiffness from painting murals. The pain persisted, and, a few weeks later, Cassidy was diagnosed with melanoma. By the time of her diagnosis, the cancer had spread throughout her body. Cassidy's health rapidly deteriorated, and her final performance was in September 1996. At the performance, she had used a walker to reach the stage, sang "What a Wonderful World" in front of an audience of friends, and was subsequently admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital.[citation needed]
Eva Cassidy died on November 2, 1996, at the age of 33. She was posthumously inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Washington Area Music Association.

You've Changed
You've changed
That sparkle in your eyes is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
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've 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 forgotten the words, I love you
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you've 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
Your kisses now are so blase
You're bored with me in every way
You're breaking my heart
You've changed
You've forgotten the words...

Each memory that we shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize that you ever cared
You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through

Yes it's all over now
Oh-o you've changed

I'm a tough, metalplaying bearded dad in the construction business. I love to drift cars and lift weights, play videogames etc etc. But it doesn't matter when Eva sings. I literally tear up every single time i hear Eva sing this song. Now that's reaching someone! I adore her!

@Phil PiperMusic is as great as your mind my friend. I love both Pantera and Meshugga for everything they can offer, as much as I love Steely Dan and Yamandu Costa. It's in the delivery man. Magic.
Not a proper scotsman eh?
I'm guessing either French or german French then 🤷♂️
I haven't heard the Chuck Brown session yet. It's here on the tube?

Such precise intonation. But more remarkable still is her absolutely masterful control of dynamics. from full bore gospel scream to an intimate pillow talk jazz voice inside one bar! @3:30
Astonishing.
Nikita White
She's is very soulful! What I really love is that she kept it jazzy, adding a touch of blues towards the end and totally understated! appreciate that in a singer. She has major chops! She could have taken thevgospel and R&B routes because she has the range or chops to do that, but she didn't!. This song was written as a jazz standard and she kept it true to the way it was written, melody first! I digg her for that. I sing this song and it's pretty in and of itself, doesn't need a lot of rifts and runs! She's got a new fan!

I play flute, and Eva is my number one teacher. The dynamics, when to use vibrato, etc. My whole musical goal in life is to be able to play any of her songs and come close to the dynamics. That's makes the whole thing. My biggest problem, besides that I'm not good, is that all her songs are in a key to low for the flute range, so I have to either play them in a higher octave, which misses the point and sounds terrible, or transpose the sheet music a bit higher so it still sounds like her song. BUT THEN, finding a good backing track in the new key in Eva's style is nearly impossible. But all in all, I love, love, love listening to her, and I content myself with that, and the hope that I can learn from her dynamics and how she handles each note so incredibly lovingly. Thank you flat5sharp11 - we are on the same page.
