"Strange Changes" is a song that was co-written by Lynsey de Paul and Sue Shifrin (Sue Shifrin Cassidy), former wife of David Cassidy. It was released as a single in 1981 by de Paul on the MCA label. A promo 12 inch single was also released. The recording was co-produced by Jon Kelly and de Paul. While the song was not immediately as commercial as many of her other hits, it had a laid back feel ahead of its time that grows on repeated listening. Writing on her website, de Paul revealed she wrote this song when she was living in the United States and wanted to come back home to the UK. "It meant leaving behind a life that had taken five years to build and a long term relationship with James Coburn. I literally felt that I was going through a strange change" she said. De Paul performed the song on a number of TV programmes including the German TV series WWF Club, and the UK TV programme Razzamatazz in 1981.
The song is still popular and featured on "Beam Me Up" by Albion in 2015, the first song on the "After Midnight" DJ set by Martino Valentino, on the play list of online radio station "Overfitting, The Balearic Mike & Ben Monk show on 1 Brighton FM, Radioactive FM, Tomorrow Land on PBS106.7 FM, Ginea Radio as well as being listed as the number 1 hit on the old skool chart at WahWah45 in November 2016.
