And writing songs partially about what I thought love was supposed to look like and feel like, but that I wasn't feeling.

And the one thing that I could always look at as far as an example of love was and is my parents.

And so I wrote this song for them, I'm not gonna look at 'em.

[audience laughing] I wrote this song for them just about staying together and growing old together, and what I want outta life and love.

This is called "Changes".
