What's your favorite song about change?

A soft rock classic from Journey. I love this song. I first heard it around 20 years ago in my 70s and 80s soft rock phase when I also explored bands like REO-Speedwagon, Foreigner, Styx and Toto. I got the chance to see Journey in 2007 when they reformed with their new front man and it was incredible. My wife and I were due to see them in 2024 but they decided to litigate each other to bits and implode the band. At least I saw them once!

Coincidentally, I have alsochanged a lot since I first heard this song but it triggers strong nostalgia for me.
