"Things Have Changed"

"Things Have Changed" is a song from the film Wonder Boys, written and performed by Bob Dylan[1] and released as a single on May 1, 2000, that won both the Academy Award for Best Original Song[2] and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song.[3] It was also anthologized on the compilation albums The Essential Bob Dylan in 2000,[4] The Best of Bob Dylan in 2005[5] and Dylan in 2007.[6]

Brian Hiatt, writing in Rolling Stone, where the song placed first on a 2020 list of "The 25 Best Bob Dylan Songs of the 21st Century", saw it as a stylistic about-face from 1997's Daniel Lanois-produced Time Out of Mind and the beginning of an important new chapter in Dylan's career: "The effortless feel of the playful-yet-ominous, hard-grooving, utterly dazzling 'Things Have Changed' was an early indication of the renewed friskiness of Dylan’s 21st-century work — and the vividly live-in-the studio creations he would achieve as his own producer, with the help of engineer Chris Shaw".[7]
