Changes is a 1969 American drama film directed and produced by Hall Bartlett.[1] It follows Kent (Kent Lane) as he navigates his quest to search for meaning and find himself.
Set in the 1960s, the film follows the lead character Kent, as he travels along the California coast.[1] As he drifts, he recalls his former troubled girlfriend, Bobbi, who committed suicide after he broke off their relationship. During his travels he meets up with different women. However, he moves along rather than stay put in hopes of finding a meaning to his life.

The film includes seven songs from the Tim Buckley album Goodbye and Hello on its soundtrack (such as, most prominently, "She Is").[2] In addition, it also contains Mike Condello's cover of Buffalo Springfield's "Expecting to Fly" and the Judy Collins cover of Joni Mitchell's classic, "Both Sides, Now". The title song "Changes" was written by former Motown executive William "Mickey" Stevenson, Vicki Basemore, and Stevenson's wife, fellow Motown alumnus Kim Weston. Weston performs the song in the film and on the soundtrack album.[3]
