Things change, people evolve or sometimes they donā€™t. This is very fertile ground to write about. Getting married, puberty, getting divorced, getting sick, death, getting a new job, getting fired, getting dumped, dumping someone, etc, etc, etc. Also remember this is just a prompt to get you started, write about whatever you want.

The obvious examples:

David Bowie - Changes

Black Sabbath - Changes check out the Charles Bradley cover as well.

Fleetwood Mac - Landslide

A slightly obscure example:

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Catching Smoke
This song is from an record called Butterfly 3000 and itā€™s all about change. In the video he changes from a chrysalis to a butterfly. The dancing after the change is amazing at around 4:17.

The not changers:

The Verve ā€“ Bittersweet Symphony

Macklemore ā€“ Same Love

    Are rough acoustic demos OK? I donā€™t have the equipment to submit actual polished songs.

      Definitely, itā€™s just to get us writing on a regular basis. Itā€™s about the song not the production.
