Story Behind The Song
I heard a radio interview of an artist who was made famous by her depiction of the civil rights movement during its era. She noted that she wanted people to see the movement from another view because it looked different on canvas than it did in real life...thus the inspiration for the main line of the song - Things change depending on the medium

Lyrics
I've had gains in the loss
I've heard music in the screams
I've seen hope arise
Right out of broken dreams
If there's anything I've learned
It's to look beyond the trees
To find the forest of beauty never seen
'cause
Chorus
Things change
Depending on the medium
Unnoticed beauty viewed in photographs
His life was filled with disappointments and confusion
But written in a book inspires the masses
Yea things change
Depending on the medium
Heartache inspires a touching song
Take the debris from all the rubble and destruction
And create tomorrow's work of art
'Cause things change depending on the medium
