"Love Changes Everything"
Background[edit]
In the prologue to Aspects of Love, a young Englishman, Alex, is lovestruck by a French actress, Rose. This upends his world, and he sings that "Love changes everything ... How you live and / How you die" for better or for worse. He notes that love "Makes fools of everyone" and concludes that, once love strikes, "Nothing in the / World will ever / Be the same." Musically, it is a "simple, effective three-chord piano-accompanied anthem".[6] The song became the best-known number from Aspects of Love and it "delivered yet more proof that Andrew Lloyd Webber could deliver soaring, anthemic ballads".[7]
The song was featured at the 44th Tony Awards.[8]
The 2018 compilation album, Andrew Lloyd Webber Unmasked: The Platinum Collection, included a remixed version of the 1989 single recording.
Artists who have covered it include
The Off-Broadway spoof revue Forbidden Broadway picked up on the bed-hopping aspect of Aspects of Love, changing the song to "We Sleep with Everyone".[9]
