Black Sabbath is famous for loud, heavy music. That is why the song “Changes” from 1972 is so surprising. It is a slow, soft ballad driven by a piano, not a loud guitar.
Young singer Courtney Hadwin, whose voice sounds like Janis Joplin’s, chose this deep cut to showcase her powerful singing. By selecting this classic, she serves as a bridge, bringing older rock music to her generation.

This performance gives young people an easy way to explore classic rock. You hear her soulful voice, and then you find the original Black Sabbath song. This is how old music stays alive.
The original “Changes” was written about real heartbreak. Black Sabbath’s drummer, Bill Ward, was having an excruciating breakup at the time. The lyrics talk about losing the best friend you’ve ever had and trying to deal with overwhelming sadness. Courtney’s gentle piano version makes these 50-year-old feelings seem like they were written yesterday.
