“Are You Changing?" by Mountains Like Wax – A Song Feature

     “Are You Changing?" is intelligent in its execution and its message. The single from Mountains Like Wax begins with a few-seconds burst that foreshadows the presence of string instruments. But it’s only a taste that leads to a power guitar strum, notifying the listener of the song’s Rock roots. Soon, a guitar hook carries the song to anguished vocals, and “Are You Changing?" is fully powered.
 
      The strings are heard during various portions of “Are You Changing?". The strings are sometimes plucked (@1:55), and other times played melodically (@2:40). Still, it’s the use of the piano around the three-minute mark that is a favorite, since the quality and emotion of the vocals shine through the attractiveness of the piano.
 
     The core of Mountains Like Wax is Mitchell Taylor and Sam Katz, who have developed a dedicated fan base in Nashville and beyond. They explain “Are You Changing?” as an exploration of the inner conflict that can emerge when trying to accept the past in order to move forward:
   “How do you look back on the grit and the struggles you had to go through to meet the beauty you face and experience now? Stop numbing yourself to feeling what you need to feel,” the band says. “Recognize it and live it, then keep going. ‘Are You Changing?’ is the hope and appreciation as we recollect those hard moments that shaped us into who we are.”
 
     Mountains Like Wax is preparing to release a full-length album in 2022. “Are You Changing?" will grace that album. Additional singles will be released in the coming weeks.
