Changes (body horror version)

A video for my cover of "Changes", (a song from Black Sabbath's 1972 masterpiece "Vol. 4")

This version is unfinished and lazy (I recorded one verse + chorus while working out how I wanted to do the song and never finished it.) I got so wrapped up in trying to get my video ideas out, and copy/pasted the single verse/chorus two more times just as placeholder in that process, but as I said.. lazy. I wanted people to see the video so I'm uploading it as is.

My re-interpretation of the song is sung from the point of view of a man who quite very probably is solely responsible for his "woman" being "gone" (as he laments), very likely because he offed her. Also, the "changes" he' going through are of the grotesque metamorphosis sort, a la "Brundlefly."

The video is intentionally not at all HD because I am aiming for a very specific look and feel - that of what was once a common form of media in the era of my youth, in the late 80's/early 90's as montages of film (largely horror, often juxtaposed/intermingled with bizarre footage from industrial and propaganda films, home movies, etc) transferred to video, dubbed and redubbed bootleg style with physical copies made and passed by hand, and which would often appear (mostly anonymously) as backdrop for something else - like a band's live act - in underground clubs, house parties, etc. Industrial and metal acts frequently used such tapes as source material for music videos, often seen in those same venues or perhaps on cable access TV shows in the wee hours on some odd channel.

Certain of these dubbed tape treasures would present certain material in a certain way where certain viewers would then be compelled to track down - somehow, perhaps through secondary and tertiary (or further) comp9ilations of footage from compilations, documentaries, video, and copies of copies, etc - some form of ancestral origin for the amazing, (disturbing or beautiful, or funny, or whatever it was) footage they'd seen, and then obtain ..
