Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on Helen Salter's lyric:
"second line is a good one! very conversational....third line works too...the last line doesn't sing easily over the melody. and it departs from the other lines....the person who wrote the first three lines doesn't seem like they'd say "I'm just your fool"....I'd keep it in character."
(more)"You're never gonna change my mind, Some would say I'm stubborn as a mule; My heart is not the changing kind, So feel free to say I'm just your fool!"
Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on Helen Salter's lyric:
"thats a lot of words Helen! Like the last line although "intrinsically" is tricky...it's a great word if it can be sung in there..."
(more)"You're never gonna change my mind Because my heart's the constant kind. Like an Eel and the Sargasso Sea, It's intrinsically a part of me."
Beth Nielsen Chapman commented on Helen Salter's lyric:
"This is a good internal rhyme even though it uses the same word. Again I think the first and third line should rhyme:
You're never gonna change my mind
-----------
My heart is not the changing kind
----------
I simplified the heart line because it has to sing over the melody without being too stretched..."
"Your'e never going to change my mind, Cos my heart's just not the changing kind ..."
