"come change my mind...."
THESSENSE (The Essence) is something I like to do occasionally here at AP. It is a shortcut to great music, it is a shoutout, it is less my thoughts on evocative sounds but just information about the song and comments by the songs creator, auteur. Today, I give you simply the Nora Kelly Band and the wanderlust filled, country-esque indie "Change My Mind". -RDC
Nora shares:
“The lyrics might sound like a familiar, pinning love song, however, when I wrote it, I was actually trying to write from the perspective of my very close friend who was in a toxic, long term relationship. I was single at the time and filled with horror whenever she would vent about her boyfriend. It seemed like she wanted to leave, but even more than that she didn’t want to be alone. She was always hoping he would do something to ‘change her mind’, to justify her staying.
I filmed the music video on a recent trip to Arizona for my cousin’s wedding. After the festivities, my parents and I rented a car and drove around New Mexico for a few days. I’ve always been in love with the desert, and I shot everything I could. Being from Canada, nothing feels more magical than the desert. Along the way I would get my dad to hold the camera while I lip-synched along, embarrassing us all many times. My mom also makes several cameos in the video with her iPad.”
