Change

Chloe Lowery's song 'Change' delves into the emotional complexities of love and the inevitable transformations that come with time. The lyrics reflect a poignant introspection on a past relationship, where the singer finds herself alone, grappling with both her own and her partner's demons. The longing for a past that words cannot fully capture is palpable, as she reminisces about a time when their love was all-consuming. This nostalgic yearning is beautifully encapsulated in the metaphor of 'Love's haunted lullaby,' a recurring theme that signifies the lingering memories of a once-perfect love.

The song's chorus emphasizes the transient nature of love, likening it to the changing seasons. 'Seasons never remain the perfect shade,' Lowery sings, acknowledging that love, like nature, is subject to change. This realization leads to the acceptance that their love is no longer the same, and thus, they must change as well. The repetition of the word 'change' in the chorus underscores the inevitability and necessity of this transformation, even though it comes with a sense of loss and melancholy.

In the final verse, Lowery reflects on the bittersweet nature of their past, where they once experienced 'Summer in the fall,' a metaphor for an idyllic and unexpected love. However, the song concludes with a somber acknowledgment of loss, as her heart now knows 'what it's like to lose it all.' This emotional journey through the highs and lows of love, and the acceptance of change, resonates deeply with listeners who have experienced similar transitions in their own relationships. Lowery's soulful delivery and evocative lyrics make 'Change' a powerful exploration of love's impermanence and the growth that comes from embracing change.
