The story behind the song

This ballad was inspired by drummer Bill Ward's breakup with his first wife, with lyrics by Geezer Butler and a piano melody composed by Tony Iommi, who was experimenting with the instrument. Ozzy Osbourne has called the song "heartbreaking," and it stands out in the band's discography for its "forlornly pretty" sound, a departure from their usual heavy style. The orchestral sound was created using a Mellotron rather than real strings, and the track notably features no guitar or drums. At its heart, "Changes" captures the raw emotion of a difficult personal transition.
