Track 9 from their fourth album “Vol. 4” released in 1972 copyright Vertigo Records. It was recorded in Los Angeles at The Record Plant and the band rented a mansion in Bel Air for rehearsals. Half of the recording budget was spent on cocaine and the rest on studio time. This was their first album without producer Rodger Bain. The band and their manager are credited as co-producers, but guitarist Tony Iommi took care of most of the actual production duties himself. He also taught himself to play the piano after finding one in a room of their rented mansion, and used it to compose “Changes.” This is considered one of their more experimental albums. It achieved Gold status a month after its release, and Platinum status in 1986. Recorded from the original vinyl. Written by Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, Ozzy Osbourne & Bill Ward and produced by Black Sabbath & Patrick Meehan. Featuring:
Ozzy Osbourne – Lead vocals
Tony Iommi – Lead & rhythm guitars, piano & Mellotron
Geezer Butler – Bass & Mellotron
Bill Ward – Drums & percussion
So you think you know what’s going on inside her head?
You think she wants your money but it’s you she wants instead
When you think about the things that she did long ago
It breaks your heart, but deep down boy, you don’t want her to go
You feel your nerves are shattering, you feel you want to die
Just because the one mistake of telling you a lie
If I were you I’d try again and try to make amends
She only thinks of you, you know, I’m talking as a friend
