Speaking about it, Lord Nick Littlemore said:
“[Changes] represents the shifting sands of time, empires rise and fall but the sun shall shine on. Come once more into the world we’ve created, delve deeper within and be rewarded with its ever-expanding story, each and every one is invited to explore the new era.” His bandmate Luke Steele adds that it “was a breakthrough track for us. It felt like the moment of clarity when it became evident we were in the new era, our time of rebirth, the next chapter of Empire.”
For his part, Emperor Luke Steele added that “Changes” was a “breakthrough track” for the duo’s next journey: “It felt like the moment of clarity when it became evident we were in the new era, our time of rebirth, the next chapter of Empire.”
