Berkeley Cat Records is so pleased to announce the release of the latest Russ Ellis single, Everything Changed. It’s his third in as many weeks, and I love this approach of building an album publicly a song at a time. I love this song, and I love how it follows Oom Chugga. We invite you to give it a spin, download, and please feel free share it up any which way! Thank you.

Liner notes from Russ:
I worked closely with Jason Martineau on “Eliza.” Since he is deep into music, both as a performer and scholar, I thought it would fun to try a collaboration with him. I proposed that I sing a line and have him respond on the piano, then I respond vocally, etc. Stumbling toward an understanding, this song was the outcome.
Oddly, this love song was not (consciously) inspired by or directed to anyone. It Just arrived.
Lyrics:
Once you came to me, whispered my name
And everything changed.
I never thought that you would see me, notice me.
Who was I to hope?
Now I hold your hand, look into your eyes,
And everything’s all rearranged.
While I was loving you, you saw me too.
And you knew my name.
Now I hold your hand, look into your eyes,
And everything’s all rearranged.
While I am loving you, you love me too.
And we know our name.
