Beatnik writesThe Songs That Get You Through: “Change” by Blind Melon

These are obviously strange times we are living in, so we asked some of our CHIRP volunteers to tell us about a particular song they like to listen to when things are tough. We're calling it, "The Songs That Get You Through."

From CHIRP DJ and Live Events Coordinator Alli Klein:

While most people remember Blind Melon for their single, "No Rain" and accompanying iconic music video with the dancing bee girl, a song that has always gotten me through rough times is a different one of theirs from that same self-titled 1992 album called, "Change".  It is a song I've carried with me through the different chapters of my life, and feels especially appropriate during the pandemic times we are experiencing present day. A song about accepting the things you cannot change, and also about being open to changing your own attitude to get through whatever hardships you are facing in life. Whether I am weeping or smiling while listening, this song always makes me remember to keep pushing through.
