Recorded at Glasgow ABC on 20th January 2007, Justin does a rendition of this Del Amitri classic - just check out his voice nowadays.... truly awesome. Can't wait for 'Rebound' the new album to be released. Watch out for it!

  • Have never been in the situation Justin describes so brillaintly in this song but he makes it seem so realistic you can just feel every emotion someone in that situation must be going through - talking about painting a picture with words this man is a modern day musical poet - there is no other artist to compare with his lyrical genius

  • "Change Everything" is still one of my all time favourites. Each song is wonderful. Glad to see, he is still going strong!

  • A great song. I recommend any Del Amitiri fan to also check out the fantastic acoustic cover of Be My Downfall played by English singer/songwriter, Dek Lovell, which can also be found on YouTube.

  • My very favorite del Amitri song of all time...

  • @grassburner neil young seems to have done ok with sideburns.

  • He is a very talented guy without a doubt and I even like a lot of his song. "Be my downfall" is clearly about a guy who is clearly about to cheat on his wife/girlfriend/partner. I can understand the struggle, but at the sametime, it's a bastard thing to do. Cheating on someone is just wrong! No one like to be cheated on. This song really makes me sad a gutted for the woman who is there waiting for her lover on her own at home. How would he like it if the shoe is on the other foot?

  • Pedal Steel is a f-ing perfect addition to this song.

  • They were great and I got a chance to see them several more times: The Troubador in LA and The Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis, MN - also working on a film there. In Minneapolis, they blew me away when, while doing one of their songs, I think "Tell Her This," they incorporated The Replacements' "Skyway" into the middle of their song as a nod to the hometown band. Awesome. Anyone have live video of that show in Minneapolis?

  • I'm kind of glad they never got big and famous, sorry Justin and guys. They put on some of the best shows I have ever seen and heard. I stumbled upon them doing a free show below the Seattle Space Needle. I was there working on a film called, "Free Willy,' but had heard them played on KROQ in LA. I convinced my co-workers to see them when I heard who was playing.

  • Jackie Hunter - for you.

  • man i wish he was more famous

  • Justin's biggest downfall was those damn ugly sideburns. I think it was one the reason Del Amitri wasn't more successful. And a piss-poor record company A&M.They had so many great songs!
