Night Changes

'Night Changes' captures the essence of how time passes quickly, especially in moments of youth and romance, and how these changes are both beautiful and melancholic. The song invites us to reflect on the phases of life, growth, and the inevitable transformations we all face. Early on, the lines 'We're only getting older, baby, and I've been thinking about it lately' evoke a sense of nostalgia, suggesting that as time goes on, we become more aware of how swiftly life changes around us. The question 'Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes?' makes us think about how everything can shift in a single night, leaving us amazed at the fleeting nature of those moments.

The theme of rapid, unexpected change continues in the verses 'Everything that you've ever dreamed of, disappearing when you wake up', where the dreams and desires we nurture seem to vanish with the dawn. It’s a reflection on how what we hope for or long for often fades away when confronted with reality. This creates a dance between the ideal and the real, where the girl, symbolized by her search for something greater, realizes that what seemed so tangible during the night becomes distant by morning.

Yet, amidst these changes, the song offers comfort with the lines 'But there's nothing to be afraid of, even when the night changes.' Despite all the uncertainties and the fear that the unknown can bring, there’s reassurance that some things remain constant. The line 'It will never change me and you' reminds us that while the world may change around us, love, connection, and genuine emotions remain unshaken.

The song is a reminder that although nights change, the memories we create and the emotions we share can withstand the passage of time. The melancholic melody reinforces this feeling of acceptance and beauty in the inevitable changes life brings.
