A Lot’s Gonna Change

A Lot’s Gonna Change

Weyes Blood

“A Lot’s Gonna Change” is the serene and heartfelt opener to Weyes Blood’s album, Titanic Rising. More than anything, the song is about facing adversity with resilience, and with the help of those who love us wholly. There is some ambiguity surrounding the identity of the “you”/“babe” being addressed. While some lines point to this person being a lover, others suggest that he or she is the speaker’s child. One might be resolved in imagining that the person being addressed is the speaker’s lover: a person whom the speaker loves as powerfully as a mother would her child.
