介绍： Seal全名Seal Henry Samuel，于1963年2月19日出生在英国伦敦，他是一名混血儿，父母分别是自尼日利亚人和巴西人。自上世纪90年代以来，Seal一直都是英国最受欢迎的男歌手之一，90年代中期以后，他把灵魂乐，民谣，摇滚，舞曲等不同的风格融入到自己的音乐中去，自成一派，使他不仅在英国保持了强大的号召力，而且还逐步赢得了美国音乐界的认可。

"A Change Is Gonna Come"回归六十年代灵魂乐精髓，开口的一嗓子就充满老灵魂乐的味道，封面上的Seal手握老式麦克，白衬衫，细细的领带，暗沉的色调，好像正在带你走进一间有些年头的小酒馆，推开门....熟悉的老朋友们还坐在各自喜欢的位置上，悠闲得喝着酒，抽着雪茄，烟雾缭绕，浓香四溢，充满怀旧气息的氛围就这样展开，酒馆尽头的小舞台上，一个黑人歌手正准备着，这一切仿佛都快凝固，只是在等待一个人，一个诚心的听众的到来....

歌词：

There's an old friend
That I once heard say
Something that touched my heart
And it began this way

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been runnin' ever since

He said it's been a long time comin'
But I know my change is gonna come, oh yeah

He said it's been too hard livin'
But I'm afraid to die
I might not be if I knew what was up there
Beyond the sky

It's been a long, a long time comin'
But I know my change has got to come, oh yeah

I went, I went to my brother
And I asked him, "Brother
Could you help me, please?"

He said, "Good sister
I'd like to but I'm not able"
And when I, when I looked around
I was right back down
Down on my bended knees, yes I was, oh

There've been times that I thought
I thought that I wouldn't last for long
But somehow right now
I believe that I'm able, I'm able to carry on

I tell you that it's been a long
And oh it's been an uphill journey, all the way
But I know, I know, I know
I know my change is gonna come

Sometimes
I had to cry all night long, yes I did
Sometimes
I had to give up right, for what I knew was wrong

Yes it's been an uphill journey
It's sure's been a long way comin', yes it has
It's been real hard every step of the way
But I believe, I believe

This evenin' my change is come
Yeah, I tell you that my change is come
