Will you ever change
Calum Scott Releases 'If You Ever Change Your Mind'
Today, multi-platinum-selling singer/songwriter Calum Scott premieres his emotionally empowered new single and video "If You Ever Change Your Mind." A bittersweet but uplifting reflection on a painful relationship, "If You Ever Change Your Mind" is the third song that Calum has shared from his highly anticipated sophomore album, due out this spring.
Produced by eight-time GRAMMY Award® winner Greg Kurstin (Paul McCartney, Elton John, Adele), "If You Ever Change Your Mind" opens on a gorgeously stark vocal performance from Calum, accompanied only by wistful piano work. As the track unfolds and its commanding rhythms kick in, Calum looks back on a broken romance with both regret and renewed perspective (from the pre-chorus: "I pulled away 'cause the pain's too strong/And you were saying that we don't belong"). Co-written by Calum, "If You Ever Change Your Mind" ultimately builds an irresistible tension between his never-ending affection and newly heightened sense of self-worth.
Says Calum, "Five years ago, I fell in love so hard that ever since we parted ways, there has been an invisible tether between us, sometimes existing silently, other times pulling on me like a rope attached to my chest. I got together with Mozella and Hayley Warner in LA to write this one and had the pleasure of working with the legend, Greg Kurstin on track and vocals. I really enjoyed stepping into a new sound with Greg on this song - I feel we struck the balance of lyrics that tell the story of heartbreak and conflict but maintain a hopeful and reminiscent sound that makes this song feel so good!
Directed by Harry Law, the video for "If You Ever Change Your Mind" beautifully dramatizes the song's narrative of longing and conflicted emotion. To that end, the visual centers on an estranged couple engaged in an intense push-and-pull - an element perfectly captured in the video's meditative and endlessly mesmerizing choreography.
This morning, Calum delivered an impassioned performance of "If You Ever Change Your Mind" on "Live with Kelly and Ryan and Calum recently appeared as a featured artist on Lost Frequencies' "Where Are You Now" - a July release that's now amassed over 250 million streams worldwide.
As he gears up for the album's release, Calum will head out on tour as support for Irish rock band The Script. Kicking off on March 30 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, the 12-date North American run will continue through April 14 at the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York City. See below for the full list of tour dates, and find ticketing info here.
"If You Ever Change Your Mind" arrives on the heels Calum's recent single "Rise," a wildly soaring track whose video features a captivating performance from British actor Georgia Hirst (known for her role on the acclaimed historical drama "Vikings"). Prior to releasing to "Rise," Calum offered up the soulful minimalism of "Biblical": a heart-on-sleeve ballad he later followed with an American Sign Language (ASL) version made in collaboration with the Tony Award®-winning Deaf West Theatre.
Along with "If You Ever Change Your Mind," both "Rise" and "Biblical" will appear on the follow-up to Calum's 2018 full-length debut Only Human - a widely acclaimed effort that hit No.
1 on the iTunes album chart in 21 countries across the globe, in addition to selling more than 3.6 million in adjusted album sales and garnering over 7.5 billion combined streams.

Every since you left me
I’ve had a lot of time
To think about the past
The love you left behind
It’s not that I don’t realize
The reason you had to go
But if you change your mind p
Please let me know
Now when I was a younger man
I’d have tried to stand in the way
But now i know when a fire is out
There’s nothing you can do or say
I guess I’m still just hoping there’s
A spark, buried, below
And if you change you your mind
Please let me know
And if you think you’d ever
Well never say never
And if you’re feeling torn apart,
Please come home so we could start
To love again would surely end
The trail of pain and woe
And if you change your mind
Please let me know
Minutes turn to hours
And hours turn to days
It could take a couple of years
To float on through the haze
Until then I’ll just pretend,
Stay out of the undertow
And if you change your mind,
Yes if you change your mind,
Please let me know
from Western Soul, released March 9, 2018

You won’t wait, you won’t cry, You won’t go anywhere later, You will meet, so you won’t hide, You promise - you won’t change.

Red light, red light, are you ever gonna’ change?
Day and night, day and night, everything just feels the same
Red light, red light, are you ever gonna change?

Back and forth, from the same old circle
I'm still me in the same old circle
They say "Lay back, it won't hurt you"
But I got dreams and that's for certain they've been lurkin'
Act real nice from behind the curtain
It gets tough when I've been workin'
But the other side of me is always searchin'
Red light, red light, are you ever gonna' change?
Day and night, day and night, everything just feels the same
Red light, red light, are you ever gonna change?
Day and night, day and night, everything just feels the same

Everyday feels the same when I wait, 'cause I'm thinkin' on you
Could you stay for a change, or just wait til' the night comes through?
Everyday feels the same when I wait, 'cause I'm thinkin' on you
Could you lay for a change, or just wait til' the sky leaves blue?
Leavin' home, workin' late, same result, different day
I know that you wanna' break all the ties you contemplate
On the road, off the lane, same old job, different pay
Tell me what you wanna' say, you know, I want you to stay
Find your weight inside my hands
Try to make you understand
That life is more than a plan
And all the times that you were down and you were distant
And all the times you thought nobody would listen, I was by your side
Everyday feels the same when I wait, 'cause I'm thinkin' on you
Could you stay for a change, or just wait til' the night comes through?
Everyday feels the same when I wait, 'cause I'm thinkin' on you
Could you lay for a change, or just wait til' the sky leaves blue? nine0005

Red light, red light, will you ever change?
Day and night, day and night, everything seems the same
Red light, red light, will you ever change?
Day and night, day and night, everything seems the same
Mmm-mmm, everything seems the same
Mmm-mmm, everything seems the same
Mmm-mmm, everything seems the same
Mmm-mmm, everything just feels the same
Back and forth from the same old circle
I'm still in the same old circle
They say lean back, you won't get hurt
Red light, red light, will you ever change?
Day and night, day and night, everything seems the same
Red light, red light, will you ever change?
Day and night, day and night, everything seems the same
Mmm-mmm, everything seems the same
Mmm-mmm, everything seems the same
Mmm-mmm, everything seems the same
Mmm-mmm, everything just feels the same
I feel the same every day when I wait because I'm thinking of you
Could you stay for a change or just wait for the night?
I feel the same every day when I wait because I think of you
Could you lay down for a change or just wait until the sky turns blue?
I leave home, I work late, the result is the same, on another day.
