KEEP THE CHANGE by Beth Wood

KEEP THE CHANGE performed by Beth Wood, written by Beth Wood & Bob Wood.
In a little cabin in southwest Colorado at 10,000 feet, my Dad posed the question, can you ever really keep the change? Then we started making a list of things you can change, then in between hummingbird buzz-by's we dreamed up the waitress and the diner and the bar where she goes after work and the bartender. Then this guitar part that felt like a wheel bubbled up and poured out. Then we said can you ever really keep the change when everything is changing? Then this song was born and everything keeps changing, and I keep wondering what we can keep, if anything at all. But I do know that I get to keep the memory of writing a song with my Dad, the one who taught me to love poetry by showing me poems of Stephen Crane and Robert Service and his own, and that's a treasure I will never lose.
We also wrote a song called "Four-Second Dog" about the five-second rule, ha!
I'm excited to share this song and this video made by Jon Meyer in anticipation of the release of my album "Love Is Onto You" on August 30! It will be streaming in all the places then, and if you'd like a CD, you can order one directly from my tiny hands right now at my website bethwoodmusic.com/store.
Produced and mixed by Tyler Fortier.
Recorded by Keith Banning at The Belfry in Sisters, OR.
With the great Nate Barnes on drums and Phillippe Bronchtein on piano and pedal steel.
Mastered by Liquid Mastering.
Video by Jon Meyer, with generosity and grace from the great David Jacobs-Strain and Bob Beach, who recorded at The Belfry on the same day.
