about

With Make a Change, noted singer / guitarist Paris James shows another side, delivering a subtle ballad that comes soft and mellow, like a whisper in the night. Over delicately played acoustic guitar passages, Paris implores listeners to be the change they want to see in society. Featuring light instrumentation and a slight string accompaniment, Make a Change puts the smooth, soulful James vocal on full display. The heartfelt words and earnest delivery of this wistful tune are enough to make us believe that someday, just maybe we’ll be able to fix this crazy world.

lyrics

MAKE A CHANGE
Paris James


Something has brought me to this place, traveling on wings of faith
Mother Earth is crying, so many people have given up on trying
Children abandoned in the street, not enough food or shoes on their feet

Life will never change if you do nothing
We got to do something to make a change, in the world

The war machine is still alive, and there’s no compromise
Radical faction, political action
Wonder how do we all, how do we all survive

Life will never change if we do nothing
We got to do something to make a change, in this world

There’s something I wanna say, you might see things in a different way
The whole world is one community, just open up your hearts and you can see
My child is your child, your child is my child
And that’s the way it ought to be

Paris’s newest project, out in early 2013, showcases glass-smooth and sugar-rich vocals, searing hot guitar work, and that primal, raw spark that makes your soul come alive. ... more
