Nothing Changed (Norma Sheffield Song)/Dave Rodgers Cover

In 1994, Giancarlo Pasquini covered "Nothing Changed" by Norma Sheffield under his alias Dave Rodgers.

The song itself is a indirect cover of "あの頃のまま (As It Was Back Then)" by J-pop artist UB which was released the same year.

The song was released together with two other songs ("Nothing Changed" by Norma Sheffield, and "あの頃のまま (As It Was Back Then)" by UB) on a vinyl-promo single released by Avex Trax in 1994.

In 2001 a duet of the song was released using vocals from both versions.

Lyrics
[Intro] Let's welcome the joy to come girl Your love is what keeps me strong girl Let's welcome the joy to come girl

[Verse 1] You and I, thinking of all the times we spent together Everyday seemed to me like awaking a dream A picture of perfection But gradually, as time goes by, seems your love lost its luster With your eyes full of doubt Your suspicions aroused, your voices so full of tension

[Pre-Chorus 1] Recently you're been pouting, accusing me of unkindness Tell me, how could you believe I would ever hurt you so please listen to what I say

[Chorus] I will protect you Don't you forget it Your love means the world to me girl You are my angel Nothing will change that Your love is what keeps me strong girl Love is forever, time is a healer Let's welcome the joy to come, girl Deeper and deeper, sweeter and sweeter Together we'll build a future that lasts

[Verse 2] Losing sight of the precious things that made us special Pretty quarrels all day See our temper are frayed Rejection and depression Clever words and conversation won't save us from this heartache There's a far better way of expressing ourselves I'll hold you oh so tightly

[Pre-Chorus 2] We're both been playing games, let's give this fighting a rest now Turn our backs on the past We'll forget all the pain, the good times are here to stay
