Here is Lindsey's response about "Somebody's Gotta Change Your Mind" :

GWA In keeping with that, your lyrics have become more philosophical, more ideas-oriented, and not just about people or relationships. For instance, "Change Your Mind" seems to ask a lot of questions about the future of the planet.

Buckingham A lot of the things I say there came from visualizing if there were, not a God, but a bunch of gods, in the Greek sense, looking down on these people really going off the track down here and saying, "What are we going to do about this? Are we going to cut them loose?" And there's also a personal vibe. It's sort of a memory about my childhood in the second verse, things I did with my family, and how much I value them.

It seems to me that the functional family that turns out healty, grounded kids has become a rarer species. It all seems to be going off the track. When I sing, in that context, "Someone's got to change your mind," I don't know who that is - perhaps I'm speaking to myself or perhaps the outside world.



HHMMM...this is basically the same response he seems he gave Livia about Red Rover. Maybe he was in a rush and just gave that one, lol. I dunno, I just don't see the Greek God thing happening @ all in this song.
