    The song is a good look at what were considered the big problems in the world in 1971: overpopulation, economic inequality, pollution, war. The writer of the song, Alvin Lee, often said the song remains just as relevant today, despite the passage of time.

      A very valid assessment.
      My own opinion has long been that the claim to the title of "most underrated rock guitarist" is a tie between Billy Duffy of The Cult and Ian Thornley of Big Wreck. I’ll make *no* claims here that either of them are the _best,_ just the most _underrated._
      However, I have to admit that I had never previously considered Alvin Lee as one who would also fit that same bill. Because he’s just *so damned talented and/or skilled,* it never occurred to me that he could be underrated.
      I realize now, though, that the very same principle applies to Ian Thornley, so while I still hold on-narrowly-to my Duffy/Thornley claim, I definitely agree that Alvin Lee is a strong contender as well.

I'm just saying the world does need changing," he said of the song in Vintage Rock. "I'd love to do it, but I haven't got the talent. I don't think I'm a world changer."

Also, once again, they MISS the meaning of the chorus. "I'd Love to Change the World, but I don't know what to do, so I'll leave it up to you" MEANS that people complain and want change but they rarely ever DO anything about it so they leave it up to the next person.

The song is like 90 years old, from an era where a young adult woman would still be called a child or girl. If one would go that route and censor this song for it, then one has to be equally strict to the words "Babe" and "Baby". It could also be the song was written from of the mind of a young boy, which is quite realistic. As it seems to be about a young uneducated lower class boy who is after a higher class educated girl. Hence the line "I can be a schoolboy too". All about interpretation.

    Their performance of "I'm Going Home" at Woodstock (longer version) clearly demonstrates why Alvin Lee is such a baddass guitar player and why rock 'n' roll is truly transformational music!!! I saw them live in 1973 - it made it hard to see any other group match their intensity. Review this performance - it will take you places!!!!

    At the time a lot of people were looking at musicians to "have the answers" to any and all of the world's problems. Alvin Lee puts it perfectly, I'd love to help, but I don't know how, so let this inspire all of you to make a change. Another great example of this type of message is I'M JUST A SINGER IN A ROCK & ROLL BAND by The Moody Blues.

    You need to do one of their total bangers. One of the great British Blues guitarists of any era.. This song was also an anthem to stop the war but Alvin Lee was not called the fastest fingers for nothing. Do Woodstock Lee next but the stuff before and after is just as good . Super reaction..

    Something about Ten Years After was a question in the music version of Trivial Pursuit. I had never heard of the band name, and kept calling them Ten Years Later. The thing about Trivial Pursuit though, is that if you play it enough, you can memorize the answers, and get it right the next time the question comes up.

    I saw TYA at the Bath Blues Festival late June in 69. The bill included Zepellin but I thought TYA after blew them out the water. About 6 weeks later they played Woodstock and from what I can gather, were one of the best acts. 5 years later, I saw them at our local guildhalll, playing in fron of less than 1000, I guess. Their star was waning.

    For this song, the feel of its music and the musicianship that produced it is what makes it one of the highlights of its era. I always took the lyrics as different voices listing an array of the day's problems and the message is a lament that each of us shrug our shoulders saying "don't know what to do". So the problems don't get tackled and, years later, we have the same problems getting worse. The beauty of good lyrics is that each of us can interpret in our own way.

    Always loved this song. Great to see that Lex does too. It's dramatic, it's beautiful, it's motivated by both spiritual lament and desire for universal.. can't think of the word. A better world. Anyway, it has a deeply spiritual feeling on behalf of humanity. And that part, ain't it funny, skies are sunny, bees make honey, who needs money? No no not me?
    Love that.
