#ROLL WITH THE CHANGES FULL#

There is an old Yiddish phrase: Mann Tracht, Un Gott Lacht - Man plans and God laughs. 'I'll retire with these benefits.' 'My wife and I will travel the world.' 'My kids have a great life ahead of them.' However, fate has its own script.

Change challenges the way we regard the world and that false sense of security we hold as truth. We feel the chaos, the unsureness of it all, and it makes us squirm.

Although our lives are full of it - in our jobs, our health, our relationships - many of us still regard it as at least negative, and often frightening. (ItвЂ™s recommended that you listen to this on Spotify as their embed only has 200 songs.There is great fear of change, especially when it is not of one's choosing. вЂњRoll With The ChangesвЂќ Official Music VideoДid you miss a Certain Song?

Oh, and the next day, we drove up to San Francisco, where I bought The Velvet Underground & Nico at Tower Records, so there you go. I seem to remember that when they introduced вЂњKeep On Loving You,вЂќ it still hadnвЂ™t started climbing the charts, so it was just another song. alone, and is the reason that youвЂ™re sniggering at me writing about REO Speedwagon in the first place, though when Tim and I went and saw them in early 1981 in San Jose - mostly an excuse to party with some high school friends who were up at school there - they were fine, I guess. In any event, you all know what happened after this, right? REO Speedwagon released a hard(er) rock album, Nine Lives, in 1979, which went nowhere, and then in late 1980, they released Hi Infidelity, which has sold ten fucking million copies in the U.S. Except that it was the first song on the album, and so the rest of the record had nowhere to go but down, which it pretty much did. It was absolutely the perfect album closer.

I mean, yeah, itвЂ™s late 70s corporate rock, but I was fucking 15 years old, and so I loved this song, especially since there was also an awesome Hammond organ solo from keyboardist Neil Doughty - who has been in REO Speedwagon since it was founded in 1967! - and of course, the gospelish choir chanting вЂњkeep on rolling / keep on rolling / ooooooooooooooohhhhвЂќ in the back half. That said, I canвЂ™t imagine that any incarnation of me could resist вЂњRoll With The Changes,вЂќ a big cheesy slice of Stonesy gospel rock that all you snobs would have loved if it had been on Ryan AdamsвЂ™ Gold album.ДЇueled by a rollicking Kevin Cronin piano and about 751 Gary Richrath guitar solos, вЂњRoll With The ChangesвЂќ sounded fucking fantastic on Rock 96FM, especially when they got to the massive, anthemic chorus. But I think that my brother Joseph did, for some reason, and letвЂ™s also remember that I was several months away from The Cars, much less The Clash, Ramones, et.

I donвЂ™t think I bought You Can Tune a Piano, But You CanвЂ™t Tuna Fish, just because of the title, and вЂњTime For Me To FlyвЂќ for that matter. Having once again solidified their lineup with the success of You Get What You Play For, REO Speedwagon then put out 1978вЂ™s вЂњwackilyвЂќ titled You Can Tune A Piano, But You CanвЂ™t Tuna Fish, which became a double-platinum best-seller, mostly on the radio saturation of the albumвЂ™s two singles, the dread вЂњTime For Me to FlyвЂќ and the awesome вЂњRoll With The Changes.вЂќ Album: You Can Tune a Piano, But You CanвЂ™t Tuna Fish
