LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING 🎢❤️


There are thousands and thousands of songs written about 'LOVE', probably because it is an 'Emotion' that is felt most strongly, among all human beings. Most of those songs are always filled with a lot of deep and intense 'Feelings', which are often so overpowering, that they always touch the hearts of those who are listening to the songs. That's why the great 'Love Songs' just last forever and ever, and people keep singing and hearing them for decades and generations.🎢

If you stop and think about it, there are so many different kinds of 'Love'. Ranging from the warmth and affection of a parent for their child or vice-versa, to the love between siblings, to cousins, grandparents and grandchildren, teachers and students, the love shared by close friends, neighbours you've grown up with, colleagues you've worked with for many, many years, to just about all kinds of bonds and friendships that we form along our 'Journey of Life'...The list is just endless.😊

Unfortunately, the world that we live in, looks at 'Love' in just one 'very standard and typecast' way; and that is reflected in most of the songs written about Love as well. So, very often when I've tried to look for more 'General Songs about Love', that do not speak about just 'Romantic Love' or Religious Songs about 'God's Love and Loving your neighbour', I haven't succeeded; because the fact is, people haven't written too many songs about 'other kinds of Love'. Probably, if I dig a little deeper and go searching through some really old 'Country Songs', I may find a few. But among the more popular songs, I think those 'Neutral Love Songs', would be rather difficult to find.🧐

Among the countless songs written about 'Love' though, there are many that are 'My Favourites'. But I've always loved this song 'Love Changes Everything', particularly because of the lyrics. The words are very meaningful. I like how it describes not just 'Love', but how 'Love changes people completely'. 

...And that is actually very true. A person's outlook, his or her personality, their behaviour, the way they look at life, the things they used to say and strongly believe in, at one point of time, their entire world-view, their perceptions about other people and even the way in which they interact with everyone else in their lives; everything alters and changes drastically, when they see the world through those 'rose-tinted glasses of Love'. Sometimes, those changes are for the better. At other times, sadly for the worse; especially when it makes friends and family, unsure and uncomfortable about what to say and how to act, around 'Two people in Love'.

One emotion, shouldn't really change a person so much; but the truth is, that it does.🀷

In the words of Andrew Lloyd Webber, 

'Love will never, never let you be the same.'❤️

LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING 🎢❤️

- Andrew Lloyd Webber (Aspects of Love)

(Song Lyrics)


Love, Love changes everything

Hands and faces, earth and sky;

Love, Love changes everything

How you live and how you die.


Love can make the summer fly

Or a night seem like a lifetime;

Yes Love, Love changes everything

Now I tremble at your name,

Nothing in the world will ever be the same.


Love, Love changes everything

Days are longer, words mean more;

Love, love changes everything

Pain is deeper than before.


Love will turn your world around

And that world will last for ever;

Yes Love, Love changes everything

Brings you glory, brings you shame,

Nothing in the world will ever be the same.


Off into the world we go

Planning futures, shaping years;

Love bursts in and suddenly

All our wisdom disappears.


Love makes fools of everyone

All the rules we make are broken;

Yes Love, Love changes everyone

Live or perish in its flame.


Love will never, never let you be the same

Love will never, never let you be the same!✨️❤️
