SONG: "I'll Be There"
ARTIST: A Change Of Pace
ALBUM: "It Could Be Worse"
YEAR: 2011
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Peoria, Arizona
YEARS ACTIVE: 2001 - present
WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"I'll Be There" appears to be a song about proving to someone that you will always be there for them. The vocalist explains all of the terrible things that happened in this girl's life, losing her Dad, finding out that her friends really weren't real friends. Never finding a boy that would make her feel a true commitment. But, the vocalist is adament and true that despite all this that has left her, he will always be there for her.

MY THOUGHTS ON A CHANGE OF PACE:
A Change Of Pace formed as a band back in 2001, hailing from Peoria, Arizona. The members were still in high school when the band formed. Their first release as a band was in 2003 when they dropped the EP, "Change Is The Only Constant". Their debut full length album came out in 2005, titled "An Offer You Can't Refuse". The band dropped their most successful album in 2006, "Prepare The Masses", which peaked at #156 on the Billboard 200 charts. In 2008, original lead singer, Torry Jasper, parted ways with the band and longtime friend Micah Bentley filled in on vocals for the band's next two releases, including their last full length release to date, 2011's "It Could Be Worse". The band would shortly call it quits in 2011 after releasing this album but they decided to reunite with original vocalist Torry Jasper and play some dates and possibly release a new album, which never came to fruition. In 2016, the band played some shows to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of "Prepare The Masses" and then decided to call it quits once again. In 2019 however, the band reunited to headline "Pop Punk Night" at The Van Buren in Phoenix, Arizona. These guys have played a show as recently as June of 2022 so they are still together though there has been no new material released since 2013, and that was a B-Sides compilation. A Change Of Pace kinda is two different bands under the same name. At their core they are a pop punk band but the Torry Jasper years featured more screaming and clean vocals where the Micah Bentley years was pretty much all clean vocals and definitely a little poppier as well. I know for sure the first song I heard from A Change Of Pace was "Loose Lips Sink Ships". This was around the time where I really started to get into bands like Taking Back Sunday and I went on a pop punk excursion for a few years. I do prefer the Torry Jasper years over the Micah Bentley years as they had a little more grit. All in all though, pretty good pop punk band here.
