That's a good time. Love the lyrics. And a great job with the recording.
Question. Is this a new version of a song because I seem to recall this song a while ago.

Thanks Herb! I played the rough draft for you two weeks ago at our NSAI meeting online. Y'all told me it had too many words and needed an e minor chord, which I gave you.

David.
I believe I like it!
A huge ear-filling sound. The mandolin was a great addition.
As is always the case, the passion in your vocal is unndeniable.
Truth be told. Amen.

This rocks and it's a cool arrangement.
Mandolin certainly gives it a sense of authenticity too.
The bell hits on the cymbal in the chorus are LOUD though.
Cheers

I believe this is your best to date David!
I liked your chord progression, your passionate vocal, and your mix. What took this over the top were those outstanding lyrics!
Fantastic job on this song!

Hi David,
On your SC site I wrote you have a lot you believe in and I believe it being a good song!
When the song ended another one from you started: Praying for Something. I liked that song too.
Especially the guitar played very nice in it. In 'What I Believe' the guitar is the opposite of this. You nearly mistreated your stratocaster (but needed for this song of course).
In a way the songs are in line, but maybe now you know the name of the one you're praying to and -maybe- believe in?
Nice lyrics...!
Stay safe,
Hans

The three most common "commandments" in the New Testament: Love.
Don't fear. Don't be deceived. Hang in there, as none of those are easy. Powerful stuff. Great ebb and flow in power.

This sounds very much like a new hit from one of the greatest rock stars on Earth, true big rock sound stadion antheme with simple great sing-a-long message. Why is this missing in the top 10 listing then? Maybe this is a hit in a parallel universe, on some other Earth?

David - this is one rockin' song! You really put everything into this - great sound, great energy, excellent lyrics which really delivered. I applaud the way you took your energy and applied it to something positive and uplifting like this song. This one's going to be resonating in my mind for a while!

Hi David
Great sound. Really enjoyed your vocal on this one.

Don't fear. Don't be deceived. Hang in there, as none of those are easy. Powerful stuff. Great ebb and flow in power. We can't say anything that better illustrates our opinion than the above. Great performances and RT choice. Excellent! J&B
