"Change the World"
Song
B-side"Danny Boy"

"Change the World" is a pop song written by Tommy Sims, Gordon Kennedy, and Wayne Kirkpatrick whose best-known version was recorded by the British recording artist Eric Clapton for the soundtrack of the 1996 film, Phenomenon. The track was produced by pop music record producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds. The title is Clapton's 15th contribution to a motion picture soundtrack and features the English rock musician playing on acoustic guitar only.[1] The single release, Clapton recorded for Reprise and Warner Bros. Records, reached the Top 40 in twenty countries and topped the charts Canada as well as Billboard magazine's Adult Contemporary and Adult Top 40 charts in the United States. The single was prized with eight awards, among them three Grammy Awards, Clapton took home at the 39th annual ceremony in 1997.[2]

Background and recording

In 2003, Eric Clapton remembered why he wanted to record the song and why he chose Babyface as his producer for the pop single in an interview with Guitarist magazine: "Babyface was one of those great catalysts for me. I had seen him on TV doing his thing with acoustic guitar and I was thinking, 'this is a guy who's in the R&B world, he's a producer and yet he knows how to get that minimal thing and make a small sound really powerful.' And when I heard the song, I put it on in my car and was driving around listening to it about 200 times without stopping. And I just knew it was a hit. I'm the guy that used to hate the idea of pop songs and I was so against that for myself. But when the music is that good, I start to become okay about it. And this really was an opportunity it would have been childish to walk away from. And there's only one guy I knew that would make it absolutely right and that was Babyface".[3]

In an interview with American Songwriter, Gordon Kennedy retold the recording history of the song: "'Change The World' was a song written over the course of a year by Tommy Sims, Wayne Kirkpatrick, and myself. On a recording session in Quad Studios in Nashville, in the early '90s, Wayne and I were recording some demos in an attempt to do the 'artist' thing. We recorded four songs that day, three of which wound up on Garth Brooks' Chris Gaines CD (this would happen several years later). During that session, Tommy was there playing bass and played us the nugget of an idea he had, wondering if it might be something that would work for the sound we were doing. He had the title and a chord progression and melody direction going. Wayne would ask him some months later for a tape of the idea so he could work on it. He wrote the lyrics to the chorus and all but one line of the second verse. Then, it went dormant again for a time before I asked Wayne about its progress. He gave me what he'd done on it. I finished writing the music, went to Columbus, Ohio and laid down a demo track with Tommy. He was there working on a church choir album. On the way home, I listened to a tape of the track and dictated lyrics into another little handheld recorder (I still have the micro-cassette!). I wrote the lyrics to the first verse and the missing line in the second verse. When I got home, I went into the studio and did a guitar and all of the vocals for a finished demo, the one Clapton heard later... None of the three of us were together when we wrote what we each wrote on the song".[4]

Although some of the recordings took place in London,[5] most of the song's recording was done in Record Plant studios in Los Angeles, where for example Nathan East's bass parts were mixed and recorded. East also notes, the recording sessions were very busy, because many international successful artists wanted to work with Babyface at the time, however, the pop producer put Clapton and "Change the World" first.[6] In 2013, Clapton explained his take on the song in an interview with MOJO magazine: "When I heard Tommy Sims' demo, I could hear Paul McCartney doing that, so I needed to, with greatest respect to Paul, take that and put it somewhere black. So I asked Babyface who, even though he may not be aware of it, gave it the blues thing. The first two lines I play on that song on the acoustic guitar are lines I quote wherever I can and they come from the beginning of "Mannish Boy" by Muddy Waters. On every record I make where I think, this has got a chance of doing well, I make sure I pay my dues on this. So I think I've found a way to do it, but it has to have one foot in the blues, even if its subtly disguised".[7] While journalists from MusicTunes were in conversation with the single's producer Babyface, the American R&B artist recalled: "It was a real pleasure working in the studio with Eric Clapton" and added, that Clapton's "music is legendary and he is truly one of the entertainment industry's musical geniuses".[5]

For the recording sessions, several people were in charge of the production and making for the single, including Brad Gilderman and Thomas Russo as the recording engineers, Robbie Robertson as the soundtrack's producer, Mick Guzauski worked on the final mix, Babyface produced the "Change the World" songs (single mix and instrumental), where as Clapton produced the B-side "Danny Boy" by himself. All the recording actions were overseen by music supervisor Kathy Nelson.[8] The music mastering for the 1996 single release was done at Oasis Mastering in Burbank, California.[9]

According to the music website AllMusic, "Change the World" belongs to the musical genre of pop rock in styles of contemporary pop rock and adult contemporary music. One of the website's critics, Matthew Greenwald, notes the song is "melodic, soulful [and] catchy", due to its folk-pop and acoustic-based conception. As Greenwald reports, the song's lyrics and music create a various song moods, including relaxed, sweet, soft, smooth, warm, romantic and laid-back, noting the song's themes love, relaxation and comfort.[12] Billboard magazine's Paul Verna thinks the song also features christian music styles.[13] In the song, the performer expresses his desire to communicate his love to an unnamed woman ("If I could reach the stars, I'd pull one down for you", "If I could be king, even for a day, I'd take you as my queen, I'd have it no other way"). This love, he fears, will go unrequited without a drastic change in his life ("That this love I have inside, is everything it seems, But for now I find, it's only in my dreams", "And our love will rule, in this kingdom we have made, Till then I'd be a fool, wishin' for the day").[14] Elton John's lyricist Bernie Taupin, who worked with Clapton and John on the 1992 single release "Runaway Train", uses this track an example of a song that can succeed without a great title or lyric. He told Musician magazine: "What sold that song, I believe, is production. And it had a good melody. But don't listen to the lyric. Because the lyric is appalling. It's a bad lyric. There are some rhymes in there that are really awful. But that's not what sold the song".[15]

The song is written in the key of E major. "Change the World" begins with an intro, which features a chord progression of E7, E major, E6, E7, E6 and E major chords, played around the E-based bass line, which later turns into a E major, F-sharp minor and G major bass line. The intro is followed by the first verse, which is accompanied by the intro chord progression and a A major, A6, A7, A7, A6 and A major chord progression for the B-section of the verse. After the E-major chord progression, including 6th and 7th chords was played again, it ends with a G#7 chord, leading to the C-section of every verse, consisting of an F#m7, G#7, C#m, F#m7, G#7, C#m, F#m7, G#7, C#m7, Cm7, Bm7, A, E/G#, G#m, Gm, F#m, ending to the E major chord. The first verse is followed by an interlude, which is identical to the first intro line. The accompaniment to the second verse and second chorus is identical to the ones before. A link is added with the lyric "Baby, if I could change the world", followed by Clapton's guitar solo, in which he played with the help of the E minor blues scale, ending his solo with the G sharp major pentatonic scale. After the solo, the chorus is repeated, now starting with the line "If I could change the world...", leading to the second link, which is repeated three times, before the song's outro, which is identical to the songs intro and interlude.[10][14][16][17]

Release

Previous to the release of Clapton's hit version, the song was recorded by country artist, Wynonna Judd, for her February 1996 album entitled Revelations for MCA Records. Judd, however, did not release her version as a single despite the popularity of Clapton's release. Her take on the song is more of a neo-traditionalist country music track and is of three minute and nineteen second duration.[22] Judd's interpretation was also released on the compilation album Best of America, Volume 2 for Curb Records on June 3, 2003.[23]

Records.[36] In total, Eric Clapton's version of "Change the World" has been featured on over 20 releases, including extended plays and various artists compilation albums.[12]

Critical reception

AllMusic critic Matthew Greenwald recalls that Clapton "smartly realized his strength in acoustic-based, soulful folk-pop and cut this fabulous side with noted producer Babyface" after the huge success of Unplugged and "Tears in Heaven". The music journalist went on to say that "Change the World"'s homespun quality and overall sense of reality is refreshing. Greenwald finished his review by noting, that the release's "folksy melodic hook and soulful turnaround in the catchy chorus are handled by Clapton admirably here and, more importantly, with honesty and an artless grace".[12] He rated the single release with 2.5 out of five possible stars.[37] Music journalist Frank Merschmeier wrote for his review on the official Swiss music charts chart that the song is without a question a "definitive lovesong" and goes on by liking the religious background note of the song.[21] The German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung awarded the single release four out of five possible stars. Journalist Violetta Schranke calls "Change the World" a "beautiful pop song" with "delicate production" with lots of "guitar artwork" and "fanstastic bluesy singing". The critic also liked, the background vocals, that featured Babyface on the track.[38]

For his report in the Billboard magazine, journalist Datu Faison thinks, the recording is a perfect example how music has the power to unite musicians of different genres, nations and looks. He calls the title "great".[39] Billboard magazine's Larry Flick notes, that "pairing rock hero Clapton with pop/soul maestro Babyface may seem totally incongruous. However, one listen to this positively electric single and you will be hoping for the two to collaborate on an entire album. Working with a sweet, uplifting lyric and melody, Clapton brings a wordly acoustic-blues favour to the table, while Babyface injects a splash of modern soul and pop gloss. Featured on the soundtrack to the new John Travolta movie, 'Phenomenon', this smacks of multiformat appeal".[40] Critics from MusicTunes note, the Phenomenon soundtrack "is already an out-of-the-gate smash thanks to its debut single "Change the World", featuring the potent combination of an Eric Clapton performance with production by Babyface. It's the sort of innovative musical mix-and-match that not only evokes the timeless quality of that "mystical heartland" but points the way to an entirely new kind of creative synergy".[5]

Babyface's production was praised by fans and critics, as it fitted perfectly to Clapton's singing and playing.[41]

"Change the World" is one of Clapton's best-selling singles alongside "I Shot the Sheriff", "Forever Man", "Wonderful Tonight", "Tears in Heaven", "Layla", "Cocaine", "Bad Love" and "Lay Down Sally".[55] The title was a global Top 40 phenomenon, reaching the single sales charts in more than twenty countries and staying in the charts for two years in a row, from 1996 to 1998.[56] In the United States, the song was a big hit, reaching eleven of the American Billboard charts.

"Change the World" was also well received in the R&B and Hip hop scene, reaching position 54, while twenty weeks on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart[67] and number 20 on the Hot R&B Singles Sales chart in the United States.[68] The pop rock tune also received a lot of airplay in North America, reaching number two on the Hot 100 Airplay chart in 1996[69] and peaking at position three on the Hot 100 Recurrent Airplay chart in 1997.[70] "Change the World" was the 13th most played song of 1996 by American radio stations all over the country.

Music video

A shot of Clapton in the video.[11]

To help promote the single sales and make the release more popular and accessible to the wide majority of people, a music video to accompany Clapton's solo single "Change the World" was filmed.[101] The music video was filmed at Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, Hudson County, New Jersey.[102] For the music video shooting, Clapton was provided with clothing, glasses, shoes and styling equipment by his long-time friend, Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani.[103][104] In the music video, mostly Clapton is shown singing and playing "Change the World" at the Hoboken Terminal, either using an early signature Martin acoustic guitar, or a vintage model. The song's producer Babyface is rarely seen playing and singing the pop song in front of the camera.[11] While Clapton and Babyface are performing the song at one of New York metropolitan area's major transportation hubs, the scene is completely empty of both people and obstacles. Every once in a while, the performers and passengers, who come later to the terminal, disappear and appear as the director of the video uses an obliterate video effect. The video was originally released in 4:3 format and was re-sized in 1999 to a high-definition picture.[105] The music video gained a lot of popularity, especially in the United States, topping the music video streaming chart of VH1 in October 1996.[106] The release also reached number four on MuskVideo's power play chart,[107] and peaked at number nine on the most played videos of MTV compilation as reported by Billboard.[108]

Live performances

Although "Change the World" is best known by Eric Clapton's unplugged acoustic version, an electric performance of the song was featured on Babyface's 1997 live album, MTV Unplugged NYC 1997, released on November 25 the same year, with Clapton on co-lead vocals and electric guitar. Babyface also served as the song's producer for the electric guitar take. This interpretation of the hit song is of seven minute and 33 second duration. AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine calls the duo "deliver[s the tune] with a smooth authority that borders on slickness".[111] The Babyface-featuring Eric Clapton version was also released on the two compilation albums A Collection of His Greatest Hits and Wake Up Everybody in 2000 and 2004.[112] On February 27, 1997, Clapton and Babyface performed the song at the 39th Annual Grammy Awards, at the Madison Square Garden.[113] Clapton did not use a standard acoustic Martin signature guitar of his to perform the title as he did in the studio, but a handmade George Lowden 038-type steel-string acoustic guitar, that was a gift to him from Paul Brady.[114] Clapton also performed the song frequently during the Pilgrim World Tour[115] in 1998 and 1999.[116] On October 26, 1999, a live performance featuring David Sanborn again from New York City's Madison Square Garden was released on the DVD and VHS concert film In Concert: A Benefit for the Crossroads Centre at Antigua for Warner Bros. Records.[117] Clapton also performed the song during the Reptile World Tour in 2001.[118] The live album One More Car, One More Rider was recorded during the 2001 tour at Los Angeles' Staples Center on August 18 and 19, 2001[119] and also features a live interpretation of the song.[120] "Change the World" was also part of the setlist for the Just For You Japan Tour in 2003.[121] Because Clapton bound bassist Nathan East to play on his tours for that time, the duo would usually jam several bars before the band would start to play the actual song.[110][122][123] Due to fan and TV recordings around the globe, the song was often illegally released on bootleg.[124]

For the Grammy Awards website, country singer Chris Young, covered the song in 2013, only backed by a Fender Telecaster electric guitar, playing the track's chord progression. Young noted: "The one bad thing about picking a song like 'Change the World' is it's got so much cred and history... and it's like, 'Man, I hope I don't mess this up'; But it really was a song that just spoke to me. I think people... are going to get that I love the song and was just trying to kind of tip my hat to it".[41] Paris-born singer Gaela Brown[140] covered the song with guitarist Idan Shneor in 2013 for Canufeelit Records.[141] Singer-songwriter Melissa Polinar released her take on the song in January 2011, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar.[142] Singer and guitar player Savion Wright performed "Change the World" for his second American Idol audition, especially impressing judges Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez.[143]
