Really?
Sheryl Crow co-wrote and sang this advice back in 1997. Now if any of you have extra change please send it my way. Of course, that’s not the type of change the song is about (but it would do me good).
My favorite line from this song is:
Great answer machine greeting, but very few still have answer machines today and even fewer leave voice messages. It changed.

“Hello it's me, I'm not at home,
If you'd like to reach me, leave me alone”

It seems change happens quicker than ever before. Do you agree?
It could be I just have more time to observe and think about it. You know, watch the wheel go around.
I know there are times when events make you so busy you don’t have time to notice any change other than the next thing thrown at you. Those extreme busy times can end well. Like a fast spin on the merry-go-round it might make you merry or sick.
Those words were written by John Lennon. His song, “Watching the Wheels” is about taking it down a few notches, chilling out, relaxing, getting off a merry-go-round operated by an insensitive corporation. Or to put it in a way more applicable to myself - falling off the ladder of success.
Now I started with Sheryl Crow and ended up with John Lennon. It doesn’t seem odd to me at all. If the type of change that would do me good involved less stress and lazy days then I find the two songs go well together. They could be on the same playlist.
(note on my inspiration - I thought of the “Watching the Wheels” song on a visit to Middle Age Ramblings blog)
Here’s the lyrics and a youtube clip of John Lennon’s advice:

No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Here’s the lyrics and a youtube clip of John Lennon’s advice:
People say I'm crazy
doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings
to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I'm lazy
dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice
designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions
lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem,
only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time
I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
