This popular song won Grammy Awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, as well as Best Male Pop Vocal performance for singer-songwriter Eric Clapton in 1996. It was also featured in the 1996 movie, Phenomenon.

In the song, the performer expresses his desire to communicate his love to a woman. This love, he fears, will go unreturned without a drastic change in his life. He believes that change alone can allow for a meaningful relationship between them and for their lives to move forward and connect.

This is true in all aspects of life. Only when you are willing to change, to evolve and to grow does your life attain any semblance of meaning. So, if you are wondering why your existence seems monotonous and gray, perhaps it is time to do something else. Change does not have to be drastic, even small changes can lead to big discoveries.
