I wrote this song a couple of years ago. Hope you like it.
I ONCE BELIEVED IN SUPERMAN, AND A RAINBOWS POT OF GOLD SANTA CLAUSE , THE EASTER BUNNY TOO I ONCE BELIEVED IN FAIRY TALES AND MONSTERS AND ONCE I BELIEVED IN YOU
I ONCE BELIEVED THE HEROS IN THE MOVIES WERE ALL REAL AND WISHED THAT I COULD DO THE THINGS THEY DO I ONCE BELIEVED SO MANY LIES THAT PEOPLE SAID AND BABY, I BELIEVED IN YOU
YEAH I ONCE BELIEVED IN YOU. YEAH I ONCE BELIEVED IN YOU BELIEVED YOU LOVED ME TO THE MOON AND BACK, BELIEVED EVERY WORD YOU SAID WAS TRUE YEAH I ONCE BELIEVED IN YOU. GUESS I WAS A FOOL YOU BROKE MY HEART IN PIECES, CAUSE I ONCE BELIEVED IN YOU
PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY, TIME WILL HEAL A BROKEN HEART BUT THIS HEART OF MINE IS SAYING IT AIN'T TRUE I ONCE BELIEVED OUR LOVE WOULD LAST FOREVER CAUSE I ONCE BELIEVED IN YOU
SO MANY THINGS I THOUGHT WERE TRUE WERE NEVER TRUE AT ALL SO BELIEVING, IS SO VERY HARD TO DO AND I WONDER IF I'LL EVERY TRUST IN LOVE AGAIN LIKE I PUT MY TRUST IN YOU

Hi Sol! At first glance, I thought your song was about a believer becoming an atheist, but no, it’s a good ol’ brokenhearted love song! So much of love is about belief (or trust). I love it when your signature backing vocals come in. Well done. Andrew

Thank you Andrew. It's hard to pick a favorite of my songs (like picking favorite children), but this would certainly be in there.
Sol, super write, and really well delivered. Great arrangement, and your vocals are emotive without being cloying, which is harder to do than you make it sound. Nice backing band and your backing vocals are quite lovely as well.
Sucks that it can take pain to inspire beauty, but that can be the gift of a broken heart.

Thank you so much. I had to look up "cloying". lol. But when I read what you said about "a gift of a broken heart", I thought that would be a great line in a song. Would you mind if I used it to write a song?

Here's the song I just wrote last night about "the gift of a broken heart". This morning I recorded it with SUNO by playing guitar and singing it. So, it's my lyrics, chords and melody.......and this is what it came up with. I like it. Thanks for the idea.
Sol, am not reviewing songs on this forum that don't have BiaB content. Just seems disrespectful to our hosts to me. Others will disagree, and I can live with that. Peace, etc...

That's okay , I just wanted to show you the song that your quote , inspired. I wasn't looking for a review or anything. And I certainly do understand.
Clever bittersweet lyrics. Backing band is reminiscent of a cool 70s easy listening sound.
Thx

I just found out that the song was posted on this forum. I didn't mean it to be.........I guess I just wasn't thinking. I'm sorry if I offended anyone.

Thank you. The loss of belief and trust can be a truly difficult thing to deal with.
