"Everything Changes" was the third single pulled from Staind's 2005 album Chapter V, and it's the band in full power-ballad mode: slow-burning guitars, a big, aching chorus and Aaron Lewis sounding bruised but upright. Lewis said it came together out of a brainstorming session and was one of the last things they recorded for the album.
The critics split. The Washington Post heard a concert-ready soft-serve tune in the Creed mold and meant it kindly; Billboard grumbled that it didn't stretch a band that could play both the fierce rockers and the sensitive balladeers. The video, directed by Mike Sloat and released in June 2006, was about leaving high school behind and everything that shifts after graduation, as guitarist Mike Mushok put it, with Sloat's plan drawing on clips from Dazed and Confused and Almost Famous.
