This is a song I wrote about 3 1/2 years ago. I just got the new version of Sonar X3 (I usually do most of my work in Logic Pro X) and thought I would re-record this song, as it fits where I am in my life today. Had fun re-learning Sonar. All the instruments are Realtracks/Realdrums. Hope you enjoy it! Believe Here are the RT's/RD's used... RealTracks in song: :Bass, Electric, PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealTracks in song: :Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopBelieveArp Ev16 065 RealTracks in song: :Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopBelieveHeld Ev16 065 RealTracks in song: :Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065 RealTracks in song: :Guitar, High-Strung Acoustic, Rhythm NorthernRockBallad Ev 065 RealTracks in song: :Guitar, Electric, Soloist RockBalladBrent Ev 065 RealDrums in Song: RockNorthern^2-ClHt,WdOHt ******************* And here are the lyrics... BelieveWords and music, copyright Stephen W. YoungSomewhere in the middle Of a broken life There's a light to remind you It's gonna be alright When your whole world is spinning round Plant your feet on solid ground And believe I believe in the goodness Of a little child And I believe in the sweetness Of a little girl's smile And I believe that anything is possible With a loving God And a heart that's full When your whole world is spinning round Just plant your feet on solid ground And believe When my whole world is spinning round I plant my feet on solid ground And I believe I believe

Hi Steve,
This is another cool production. The audio quality is outstanding as for brightness of the mix (Ozone?)
One little nit: we detect a slight dissonance in the intro of the song. Was this intended?
As always the vocals are beautiful especially on the harmony parts.
Rob and Anne-Marie

Really nice. Great song and a great message. Interestingly, I wrote a song back in the 80's using nearly the same intro but my chord progression into the song was much different than yours. I really like what you have going on with this one.

Wow...
great song, great production, great message!
I liked everything about it, so it doesn't makes sense to start naming things

YES! Embrace the positive.
Absolutely beautiful - the write,
the vocal, the choice of RT's
and the mix which presents
a gorgeous soundstage.
It now resides on our
SoundCloud playlist.
We really enjoyed it.

As usual, an uplifting and affirming song. Great vocals, and a sound that's a bit like heaven. The guitar solos are perfect. I especially liked what you did on harmony of "ground" at 3:40. It's got a bit more bass than I'd like, but hey - nitters got to nit!

Steve,
You know I' a fan to!
This is another fine production.
Love the solo's indeed.
The intro made me frown, but in the whole of the song, and after a second listen, it fell into place.

Steve,
Beautiful, as always.
Top-notch everything... as always.
One of your best writes, I think (and they are all good).
I like the use of the repetitive acoustic figure (particularly at the end).

Hey Steve. Odd chord selection on intro but it works well. I don't think you have ever written a bad song. I believe  this is another great write Rob.

Really sweet!! Inspired profound lyric. The RTs could not have worked better if you'd hired the musicians specifically for the track. Solos are perfect, as is the acoustic gtr. Flawless! Take care. Greg
