Every iBuildBridges song is a conversation, but “Change” began as a chorus of voices speaking from separate rooms. Crafted in the unprecedented solitude of the COVID-19 pandemic, it represents a testament to our mission: connection cannot be quarantined, and harmony can be built even through a screen.

‍“Let’s have a conversation. We’ll find the inspiration. So we can change the narrative…”

Born from a series of virtual sessions, “Change” is a patchwork of transformation stitched into a unified whole. It evolved organically as each artist added lyrics, melodies, and instrumental ideas rooted in personal experience. Rather than a single voice guiding the story, the song unfolds as a mosaic of perspectives. Woven together by the musical director, Eduardo Mendonça, into a single, compelling journey. 

‍“You make me so warm inside. Like hot cocoa on a cold winter night.” 

Musically, “Change” moves with the deliberate, soulful pulse of a heartbeat. Set in the bright, hopeful key of D Major at a steady 74 BPM, the track blends the rhythmic grit of Funk and Soul with the driving energy of rock, seasoned with sophisticated Jazz influences. The arrangement brings together many instruments, allowing them space to speak while remaining deeply connected to the whole. The groove is patient, giving the lyrics room to breathe and resonate. 

‍“Thought it’s not easy to see everything change. I hope you know, I’ll love you just the same.”

The profound story of “Change” is told through its architecture. Each section introduces a new introspection, with varied voices sharing distinct verses; fears for the planet, personal affection, and a plea for deeper understanding. What begins as individual reflections becomes a solidified declaration that change is possible. The finale is not just a crescendo of sound, but one of collective will. 

Experience “Change” through iBuildBridges live performances, and witness how separate voices — when given space, trust, and care — can move as one.
