The world is in a time instability and social unrest. Rev’s DJ pick of Rodney Crowell’s single, “Something Has to Change,” could not be more relevant. The world needs advocates of justice and change. Rodney Crowell’s calls upon our humanity in his lyrics, “where life has a purpose, faith has a voice”. He sings about greed, pain, and darkness in the world. He believes in hope for change, singing “there’s a power much greater than those that would darken the world”. This melody is reminiscent of the 60s and 70s rock anthems of social activism and advocacy for equality and justice.
Crowell has both depth and awareness in his lyricism. This has lead him to work with artists such as Emmylou Harris, Etta James, John Denver, Jimmy Buffet, Keith Urban and many more. Watch Rodney Crowell’s new music for “Something Has to Change” below.
