Changes
By Greta ZwaanI sought for joy in peace, and rest to ease my weary mind,
Stressed out by such a heavy load, rest I just had to find.
My endurance could hold no more, my limits had been met,
I needed time to stand aside, sweet time to just forget.
But where to find the road to peace, an obscure trait to me;
My hectic lifestyle can't comprehend a way to set time free.
I've always rushed from A to B with no side glace allowed,
I had my life so well controlled; in truth, I felt quite proud.
No one could tell me what to do, I was a self-made man;
My schedules were controlled by me, I had a thorough plan.
'Twas good when all things went my way and no one interfered;
I had no one to answer to, my way was always cleared.
But years of this brought me no joy, though fortunes I'd amassed;
It seemed that all the things I owned would oh, so soon be past.
I had no friends that knew my plight, I kept myself at bay,
They all had troubles of their own; besides, what could they say?
They envied me with all my wealth, they never saw my pain,
I had life altogether, what more was there to gain?
But loneliness is terrible and emptiness is sad,
There seems no purpose for each day, no reason to be glad.
So now I wait; why? I don't know, but life for me must change.
There must be more than fortunes, a way to rearrange.
There has to be a purpose, and someone surely knows,
Why life is complicated, and days so full of woes.
Perhaps you have the answer, perhaps you know the route,
Perhaps you've traveled here before; if so, please help me out.
If need be, I'll be patient, I'll even take advice;
I'll gladly make the changes, no matter what the price.
I don't need independence, I've had my round of that;
I long for understanding, to know just where I'm at.
Someday I hope to thank you because you saw my need,
Perhaps with greater meaning, with purpose, not with greed.
I don't know how I got here, what lies ahead of me,
I'm grateful there'll be changes, I'm grateful to be free.
Hold on to your seat, one of your favorite pop stars just teased new music and we didn’t know when this day would come. That’s right, folks. Madonna is blessing us with new music. Now, all we have to do is wait patiently for it to be released. 2021 is coming to a close, which means 2022 is for beginnings, changes, and of course, new music. Since her debut in the 1980s, Madonna has climbed her way to the top and has been one of the biggest names in pop music history. The “Material Girl” singer is hands down one of the best-selling female artists of all time and an extremely successful recording artist and entertainer. We cant wait to hear what she has in store for us.

The 63-year-old singer-songwriter revealed to fans on her Instagram that she was in her studio recording with Swae Lee, Lauren D’Elia, and more. She wrote, “So great to be back in the studio making Music again. Surprises in the New Year @swaelee @laurendelia @jozzy @burberry.” Simon Boyle from The Sun reported that Madonna is working with Lee on a new version of her famous song “Frozen” from 1988. Boyle said, “I’m told they were working on the remake of the song, which originally featured on her Ray Of Light album. A remix of the song has recently gone viral on TikTok and now Madonna wants to capitalise on that success.” We say, why not? If anyone can do it, she can.
This isn’t the first time she’s worked with Swae Lee. She previously worked with him on her track ‘Crave’ which was on her ‘Madame X’ album. In an interview with Variety, Swae explained what it was like working with Madonna saying, “I was very excited when Madonna approached me. It was dope to hear that she loved my music, you know what I’m saying? I jumped to whatever she wanted me to do. We chilled in the studio in L.A. Just me, her and Mike Dean just coming up with songs…singing in front of her life, and we would just bounce ideas off each other, it was cool.” We know that the upcoming music she’s working on will be released in the upcoming new year. The last album she did was “Madame X” back in 2019, so it’s time for a bit of a comeback. Madonna, we are ready for you.
