The Flying Change is stage name of a New York songwriter and performer Sam Jacobs. The name was inspired by poetry of Pulitzer-prize winner writer and family friend -
Henry Taylor and it suits him extremey well. After listening to the album I couldn't stop thinking that "Pain is a Reliable Signal" resembles a collection of poetry in which Sam Jacobs beautifully reveals his life experiences with pain though
themes of love, loss and reckoning.
