All Things Change

"All Things Change" is a song from Billy Corgan's debut solo studio album, TheFutureEmbrace. In the Thirty-Three podcast, Corgan explained that with "All Things Change" he wanted to convey that the "constancy of change is the constancy of life"; that is, change is inevitable and we should accept that. He also admitted he felt the message of the song never landed with listeners but hopes it may now or for future generations.

This was the zero point for the record. We'd been messing around for a couple months, but "All Things Change" was the first time we found the feeling we were going for musically. I knew I wanted to sing something at the end, and the words "We can change the world" came into my head when I was driving around. I thought, "Oh man, you're asking for it." But there's something so car-crashy about someone actually saying something like that -- you don't want to look but you have to. The feeling is authentic. I do feel we can change the world, but it's not a Michael Jackson sense. There's a sense here that it's not going to be easy.
