In January 2017, Black Sabbath was nearing the conclusion of a landmark career, as they were in the midst of their farewell tour, "The End." This period followed the release of their thirteenth studio album, "13," which came out in 2013. The album marked the return of original frontman Ozzy Osbourne, alongside Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, and achieved notable commercial success, debuting at number one in several countries. The live studio recording of "Changes" showcases a more reflective side of the band, as the song delves into themes of transformation and loss, resonating particularly with fans in light of the band's impending retirement. The intimate setting of the studio also emphasizes Ozzy's vocal prowess, which he maintains even decades into his career, highlighting the enduring legacy of Black Sabbath in the evolution of heavy metal music.
