Named after Thundercat’s, “Them Changes”. A funky psychedelic groove about heartbreak with opening lyrics like, “nobody move, there’s blood on the floor/ and I can’t find my heart"
This song also features a sample from The Isley Brothers’, “Footsteps in the Dark”, a hit song from the 70s, which couples perfectly with Barkley’s painting which was completed on the cusp of the 70s.
Being that “Miss T” & “Them Changes” were both Remy’s favorite painting and song respectively, this work was a no brainer.
