I’m writing this first part as I woke up from a strange dream. For some reason, I found myself at some Blade looking blood rave type place, that was drenched in black lights and assorted psychedelic looking images. Then as I walked into an eerie elevator the beginning piano part of Black Sabbath’s “Changes” started to play and just when I thought it was going to Ozzy, nope! All the sudden David Bowie’s “Changes” plays. I don’t know what, how or why this happened subconsciously but, I’m all for it.
That being said…
It’s pretty interesting that David Bowie had his “Changes” out about a year before Black Sabbath did theirs. Also both have gone on to become legendary songs in their respective catalogs. Something else that I find quite fascinating is on David Bowie’s “Changes” the piano parts are played by Rick Wakeman. Later on in life, Rick’s son Adam, would go on to play keys for Black Sabbath and Ozzy solo. Talk about a connection. Can you imagine listening to both of these albums back in the early 70’s and having your mind blown?! Teleport me back to that time so I can experience it like that!
