Change Of Heart

<p>Tom tells Paul Zollo that it’s “Not one of my great songs. But it’s a good rock song.” I think that simple doesn’t necessarily mean "not great". The beauty of this song is at least partially down to the economy of it: Let the riff drive the melody. Let the rhythm section keep the tempo high and danceable, and let the lyrics tell a story of disenfranchisement and loneliness. Today’s episode looks at Change of Heart, which is the fourth track from the album we’re currently listening to; Long After Dark.</p><br><p>If you want to listen to the track before we dig in, check out the official video: <a href="https://youtu.be/d6tOlI2hqMM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/d6tOlI2hqMM</a> </p><br><p>If you want to hear the ELO track, Do Ya, that Tom talked about as being the inspiration for this song, you can check that out here: <a href="https://youtu.be/piBQ0aRDarM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/piBQ0aRDarM</a></p><br><p>I also found a video of a fourteen year old Jake Thistle singing this song and really enjoyed his youthful exuberance. Even at 14 you can see the massive talent and love of the music that he has. <a href="https://youtu.be/RqhQXTAcf_A" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/RqhQXTAcf_A</a> </p><br><p>If you are able to donate financially to humanitarian aid relief efforts in Ukraine, the Red Cross is coordinating a large-scale effort which you can contribute to by visiting their website here: <a href="https://donate.redcross.ca/page/100227/donate/1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://donate.redcross.ca/page/100227/donate/1</a></p><br><p>The Tom Petty Project is a proud member of The Deep Dive Podcast Network, which you can find on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/deepdivepodnet" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/deepdivepodnet</a></p><br><p>Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show:</p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://w
