Believe - Song A Week 2010 - 14

Helen Robertson (from London) sent me a backing track when I told her I didn't have motivation to start this song a week. She had one lying around and was kind enough to let me play around with it. Apparently it's in an odd time signature.

This was left purposefully ambiguous (specifically ambiguous as I like to say) but it's about a singer that left a band I was in several years ago.

A singer
A player
with that magical touch

When you say it I believe
When you say it I believe
They say I shouldn't trust you anymore
You don't believe

You want to
You need to
But you don't have the time

When you say it I believe
When you say it I believe
They say I shouldn't trust you anymore
They don't understand why I still care
Why I still care
They say I shouldn't trust you anymore
You don't believe

Oh, this is big time cool. It has a compelling mild dissonance to it that really draws you in. This would be a great one to throw in a DAW program for a little cutting and pasting, a few extra vocal parts and voila, a deadly 4 minute song.

My favorite of yours so far.

I agree with Mark, even though he uses big words that make me cringe. This is definitely my favorite post of yours as well.
