Brad Paisley has another big hit with his new song, “I Can’t Change the World,” and Brad says that there’s a mix of real life and fantasy, as well as what you can do and what you can’t, that are at the heart of his latest single. (AUDIO INFO BELOW)

• “I Can’t Change the World” is the third single from Brad’s Wheelhouse album, which includes the back-to-back number-one hits, “Southern Comfort Zone” and “Beat This Summer.”
• Congratulations to Brad on this week’s news that the Nashville Symphony has chosen him as the recipient of its 2013 Harmony Award. Previously awarded to such stars as Vince Gill, Chet Atkins, Dolly Parton, Amy Grant, and Carrie Underwood, the honor is presented “to an individual who exemplifies the harmonious spirit of Nashville’s thriving musical community.” The 29th annual Symphony Ball will be the occasion of the official presentation of the award at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center on December 14th, when Brad will also perform one of his hits with the Nashville Symphony.

  Brad Paisley talks about the mix of reality and fantasy in his song, “I Can’t Change the World.” (:21)
“I love that idea of reality in fantasy, which, love is fantasy a lot, especially early. And then the idea that you’re still haunted by reality that you can’t control, there’s just nothing more timely to me than a really screwed up world and a really beautiful romance.”
