"Change-N-Me" is a very special song because it is the first song I ever wrote & it is entirely based on actual events in my life as a teenager.
As I have grown older I have had the opportunity to look back on my life and been able to see that some of the things I did to people in my life were wrong & should have been handled differently.
Unfortunately, I was not the man I am today so I was incapable of noticing the hurt I caused to one person in particular. Along with saying that I was sorry for what I had done & the pain I had caused, I wrote a song about it to help ease my own pain.
Personally I feel that most all of the greatest songs ever written were based entirely on facts, the truth, & human emotions.
Musicians telling stories about their own lives or the lives of people they know will always be more interesting & easier to relate too than fictional tales told to appease the masses. As John Lennon once said, "Life is what happens while your making other plans." I have chosen to write songs based on my own life as a way of telling my own story.
Cerebral palsy curbed his ability to play guitar the conventional way, so Nagoda learned double slide, this is his debut LP.
