"You're So Good To Me" is a pretty cool song, written by Jeff Barry and Bobby Bloom. The chorus is "You're so good to me/I'm hooked on the things you do/You're so good to me/Tell me what can I do for you."
The cover of "Changes" shows just two Monkees: Davy Jones and Micky Dolenz. They were the only members left in 1970, when the bulk of this album was recorded. Incidentally, Davy and Micky were the two actors of the group and so it's interesting that they're the ones who stuck it out the longest after the television series had been canceled.

"Midnight Train" by Micky Dolenz
The song "99 Pounds" is a straight-forward rock and roll tune, really the only one of its kind on this album. "Do You Feel It Too?" is a fun, bright pop rock tune on which Davy Jones does lead vocals.
"All Alone In The Dark"
The CD opens with "Oh My My [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," the one single from the album. It's certainly one of the best songs, but it reached only #98 on the charts. Micky sings, "You, you make my heart sing/You make my life worthwhile/I feel such there's so much to discover/To uncover it is gonna take a while." The single was released in April of 1970, two months before "Changes." This song was also included on the compilation "Daydream Believer And Other Hits."
"Oh My My" Is The Album's Single
"Midnight Train" is a very cool song written by Micky Dolenz. Micky sings, "Well don't you worry your pretty little head/'Cause you never gave a dang what I did or said/That's why I'm packin' to leave this place/Can't stand to look at your cheatin' face."
"You're So Good To Me"
Peter Tork had left the group after the film Head. Michael Nesmith remained with the group for two more albums, "Instant Replay" (1969) and "The Monkees Present" (1969). There was a joke at the time that either Davy or Micky would leave the band and the other would carry on as The Monkee. Of course, that didn't happen. "Changes" did not do well, and that was the group's final album until they reunited in the mid-1980s.
"I Love You Better"
When The Monkees television program was revived, some of the songs from this album were mixed into the show, replacing the original songs. "Midnight Train" in particular was used this way in a hope to boost sales of this record. Sadly, it didn't work.
The last three songs are among the best on this album, and none of these were written by Jeff Barry. "All Alone In The Dark" was written by Steven Soles and Ned Albright. It features a catchy goofy rhythm [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some odd vocals and a kazoo. It's just a sweet, silly, loveable song.
"I Love You Better" is actually a seriously good and fun song. It's totally catchy. Sure, it's bubblegum pop in a way, but so was a lot of the great early Monkees material. It was written by Jeff Barry and Andy Kim, and included as the flip side on the "Oh My My" single.
"I Never Thought It Peculiar" is a song that Davy Jones sings lead on. It has horns and strings, and includes a quick waltz section and then some interesting guitar work. This one was written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who penned many of The Monkees hits. The lyrics are simple, but they work in the same way th
