This was an original song I wrote back in 2008. The tune was suppose to be alternative but it became more Country/Pop.  I decided to try and make it more 2013 . . .but leave the Country/Pop vibe.  

I think maybe the tempo should be faster?  The vocals need some work.  I really don't know!

NEW. . . version of "SHE BELIVES IN ME"

As always comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

THANKS

I was thinking Kenny Rogers when I saw the title? But you can't copyright a title :-) Thank God! 

I wish that I could solve problems that I could never see? 

But only trust and time could set me free, cause she believe's in me?

Really great lyrics... 

"You were right, and I was wrong?"

Is it possible to win an argument with a woman if you don't start out this way?

I think I speak for all men who will hear this song when I say...

"I think you've captured it..." The dialogue we all need? When we all want? What we all need?

(I may have just written a new song there Kev?)

I really like the new one.  Vocals, playing, and mix sound good.  
Nice work.

Kev, this is a terrific tune.  I don't know if it's more 2013 or not, but that implies to me that it would be more formulaic or more like "paint-by-numbers".  This song definitely is not that!  This is a good original song if I ever heard one.  I love your voice on this.

Hello JIMMY . . .
I'm glad you're liking the new take.  I'm not 100% sure if I went in the right direction with this.  THANKS MUCH for the props.


Hey WOOKIEE JOHN . . .

Hey LYNN . . .
I almost forgot you buddy.   I really appreciate your support and comments on my music.  I'm glad that its not coming across dated or so dot-to-dot.  It is a bit of a hokey Country tune.  I'm also glad your liking the vox. . . I don't hear that too often.  THANKS MUCH for the ears.

Kev, this is a really catchy tune, and I think you did a great job on it.  The vocals sounded fine, in fact, better than fine .  The whole thing came together really nicely.  You had such a good groove going, I'm not sure I would have stopped for the 2 a capella breaks, but that could be a personal taste thing.


Maybe I'm nuts, 'cause no one else mentioned it, but I was thinking I heard some tonal conflict with that underlying guitar melody line, like maybe a string was out or something.  Ignore if no one else picks up on it.


Overall: catchy, different and really original feeling tune... one to be proud of for sure.

Woah, I really, really, really, like the update. It has a lot more swing and fun feel to it. Mix is also quite a bit better. Great work Kev.
