Pulp - Something Changed

[@traceyaplin5138]

When I met my husband in 1996 he played this song to me and said that he'd promised himself that the woman he dedicated this song to, he would spend the rest of his life with and he did, I am so lucky to have had 24 wonderful years together, he passed away suddenly on 8th march 2020 God bless my darling ❤️

[@edwardmulholland7912]

I saw them live twice at their peak period. One of those gigs was at the Ulster Hall in Belfast - they were incredible. The album they were touring was “Different Class”, but Jarvis gave a world class performance that night. I still love them.

[@RafaelPernia]

Perfect album. Musically and lyrically. No filler. Bold and different from what everybody else was doing.

[@celt67]

For me, this is one of the greatest love songs of all time. People often comment that 'The Pogues-Fairytale Of New York' is the best christmas song because it's not a sugar-coated ideal of Christmas, but instead is indicative of what most Christmas's are like.. shouting and argueing... well, Something Changed is like that for love-songs for me.. its not so much "we met across the ballroom dancefloor", but more "thank God I met you tonight, I didn't even plan to get off my arse and come out". ...like what most of us have experienced.

Blimey! Nail. Head.

[@thepoptarttardis4710]

I agree almost 100% with your comment. The only think our opinions differ on is the Christmas bit. The best "Christmas" song, in my opinion is Depeche Mode's Christmas Island, as it has nothing to do with Christmas, and is just a beautiful and dark instrumental track. (thus the quotation marks on 'Christmas')

[@declare40]

Definitely. Beautiful lyrics and melody...when we woke up that morning... Where would I be now...

[@rabbitsandcarrots]

Not only one of the best love songs but a song about how the sheer absurdity of chance can affect our lives. Love Pulp.

Pulp's lyrics are second to none. So many stand out tracks, but it's like they lived 15 different life times to achieve their lyrics. So many decent artists write some complete bollocks.

I loved the 90s music so much. There were so many amazing bands and artists of all different genres. It was a great time to be young. I'll listen to songs from back then and love them but this song really touches my heart. It's just so beautiful. The words, the music, it's just so lovely. Imagine being the person someone wrote that song about. Just perfection.

[@whitters1980]

Love this song so much. One of Pulps best.

[@markstevenfall]

"Do you believe, that there's someone up above..." How those deep violins tug at your heartstrings. I can never listen to this masterpiece just once, it stirs so many emotions, feelings and memories of how things have, may and might have been. And the key change and powerful delivery teed-up and handed over beautifully by the soulful Gibson - "Oh, when we woke up that morning, we had no way of knowing..." "Where would I be now, oh where would I be now if we'd never met?" Awesome. Just awesome. Something changed. Bravo, Jarvis.

[@mikeelliott5541]

I was dumped by my gf for another when this song came out. It was and remains the most emotional traumatic time of my life.

I wrote the song two hours before we met I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet Oh, I could have stayed at home and gone to bed I could have gone to see a film instead You might have changed your mind and seen your friends Life could have been very different but then Something changed Do you believe that there's someone up above? And does he have a timetable directing acts of love? Why did I write this song on that one day? Why did you touch my hand and softly say "Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today" Something changed When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing That in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going Where would I be now, where would I be now if we'd never met?

[@kamc1959]

28yrs ago to the exact day today ie Monday 22nd August 1994 in the evening in the pub of the holiday site i was staying I saw the only person I've ever loved for the very 1st time. We wouldn't get talking to each other til the thurs. He went home the Fri, I went home on the sat. He was 16 and I was nearly 15. He lived 90 miles away from me and came to stay at mine for the 1st time in early September and we knew each other for 2yrs as friends at the age we were and the distance we wouldn't have worked but I loved him more than anyone else in world. To cut a long story short we had a huge fallout in early Aug 1996 and I haven't seen him since and it's not the lack of wanting to I've missed him ever since, he's never left ny heart and it makes me so sad. There's no chance of anything now I do know that. I've heard this song a few times today and it always hits a nerve since the fallout. I'd go back to the mid 90s in a heart beat. My life well and l truly changed from the day he walked in it and changed after I last saw him and this song is so true for us both I'm sure neither of us expected to know each other and changed the course of both of our lives. He definitely changed me and I think I can say hand on heart I would've been in another had things gone differently with him or I'd not met him but I've never regretted meeting him just regretted losing him. As much as this was out at the time I wish I'd realised the significance of this song when I knew him to tell him that's when you know you met the 1 you really do change
