Weird facts you probably don't care about:

1.) Bruce Hornsby's version topped the pop charts. 2Pac's stalled at #32 on the Hot 100 (It did top the rap charts and was #12 on the R&B charts).

2.) Hornsby was a Grammy for Best New Artist. 'Changes' was the first (and so far only) posthumous song to be nominated for a Rap Solo Performance Grammy. He lost to (shudder) Eminem.

3.) 'Changes' was one of 12 songs to appear on the Vatican's MySpace page.

Didn't know Bruce hornsby's lyrics meant so much... as a music loving person this is the best montage i have seen;, perfect coordination of the music and the imagery, a mini documentary!

@StoogeWatcher eminem is nothing to "shudder" at ... he's a great rapper, if you think differently that's great for you but just because you don't like him doesn't make him any less talented.

fuck racism ..

@Cazhead13 It's amazing, because when I was a 10 year oldkid - before the 1964 Civil Rights Act which is mentioned in this song - I realized that racist was not just morally wrong, but also just plain stupid and costly, I have to admit that I've heard MUCH more racist talk in the last three years than in the thirty preceding years put together! (And A LOT of it is by Asians and Mexicans, btw).

Great song, amazing video....my only question is why did u usethepicture of the two black Olympians throwing out black power with the white guy standing with his hands at his side. He is actually actually an aussie, threw up the back power up with themanditruined his career. Look it up. Not everyone is a racist. Toall u ignorant ass rednecks u make me ashamed to be white.try serving in the fucking army where it doesn't matter what color u are it's about survivaland brotherhood!fuckin losers

Preuve que dans ce pays qu'est l'Amérique, peux de choses ont changées depuis luther king et que malgrés l'élèction d'Obama la majorité des ricains sont encore profondément racistes !! SOME THINGS WILL NEVER CHANGE !

Malheureusement.......
