🎵 WHEN MY VOICE CHANGED
Ian Brook | Ian Brook Music. G-Rated

There comes a moment in every boy's life when childhood begins to give way to something new.

For a young choirboy, that moment can feel especially profound.

For years, his voice has been his instrument — clear, high and pure, soaring above the choir. Then, almost without warning, the familiar notes begin to change. A note cracks. Another drops lower. The voice that once felt completely under his control suddenly seems to belong to someone else.

“When My Voice Changed” tells that story.

It is a song about the sadness of saying goodbye to the voice of childhood, the frustration of not knowing what will happen next, and the extraordinary discovery that something new is beginning.

“I didn't lose my voice that day,
I found another part of me.”

The song begins in the world of the choir — delicate, innocent and almost angelic — before moving through uncertainty and vulnerability. As the music grows, the sound becomes deeper, stronger and more powerful, eventually becoming a celebration of growing up.

Because perhaps we don't really lose the person we were.

We carry that person with us.

And somewhere between the last high note of childhood and the first deep note of adolescence, we begin to discover who we are becoming.

Ian Brook — “When My Voice Changed”

A song of growing up. A voice for the future.

00:14I used to climb the morning air
00:18On silver notes so clear
00:21A little voice beneath the sun
00:25That seemed to have no fear
00:30I knew each note, I knew each place
00:33I knew just where to start
00:36That little voice was part of me
00:40It lived inside my heart
00:43But lately something's different
00:46There's a shadow in the sound
00:50I reach for where I used to be
00:53But something else comes out
00:57When my voice changed
01:00I thought I'd lost my song
01:04I reached for all the notes I knew
01:08But somehow they were gone
01:12When my voice changed
01:14I wondered who I'd be
01:18Then I heard a deeper sound
01:22Coming back to me
01:26I didn't lose my voice that day
01:29I found another part of me
01:37Sometimes it climbs
01:40Sometimes it falls
01:41Sometimes it disappears
01:44A note that should've flown away
01:48Comes crashing through my ears
01:51The other boys are singing
01:54And I'm trying to keep my place
01:58But every time I open up
02:02My voice has changed its face
02:05And I can feel the laughter
02:09That I'm hoping won't appear
02:12So I swallow down my nervousness
02:16And sing through all the fear
02:18When my voice changed
02:21I thought I'd lost my song
02:24I reached for all the notes I knew
02:29But somehow they were gone
02:32But somehow they were gone
02:33When my voice changed
02:34I wondered who I'd be
02:38Then I heard a deeper sound
02:43Coming back to me
02:46I didn't lose my voice that day
02:49I found another part of me
02:56Goodbye to the boy
02:57Who could sing like the sky
02:59Goodbye to those notes
03:01That could soar so high
03:03I'll miss you, I know
03:04But I won't turn away
03:06Because growing up
03:07Has a song of its own to play
03:12And maybe tomorrow
03:15I'll sound different again
03:19Maybe I'll find
03:21A new voice in the end
03:26I don't know the answer
03:29I don't know what I'll be
03:33But there's something awakening
03:38Inside of me
03:54One by one
03:57The voices change
03:59To warmer, lower
04:01One by one
04:04The voices change
04:06To warmer, lower
04:09Harmony
04:11When my voice changed
04:13I thought I'd lost my song
04:17But every broken note I heard
04:21Was teaching me along
04:24When my voice changed
04:27I finally understood
04:31Growing up can feel so strange
04:35But strange can still be good
04:38When my voice changed
04:40The old me
04:42Didn't die
04:43He left a little song behind
04:46And taught the new me
04:48How to fly
04:49I didn't lose my voice that day
04:52I didn't lose the boy
04:55I knew
04:56I carried
04:57Every note with me
05:01Into
05:01Something new
05:04When voices change
05:07We find another sound
05:10We leave a little childhood
05:13But we don't leave it
05:16But we don't leave it behind
05:17When our voices change
05:20The future starts to sing
05:23And somewhere in that changing
05:26Sound
05:29We discover who we'll be
05:34So if my voice should tremble
05:38If a high note disappears
05:41I'll remember who I was
05:45And welcome
05:47Who I'm becoming
05:50Who I'm becoming
05:52I didn't lose my voice
05:56You found your voice
05:58I found my voice
06:07I found my voice
06:08I found my voice
06:08I found my voice
06:10I found my voice
06:10I found my voice
06:10I found my voice
06:10I found my voice
06:10I found my voice
06:10I found my voice
06:10You
