Feature song - Believe In Me

www.ryansheeler.com

A sneak peak at the bonus track on LITR. Dan Fogelberg is my single biggest influence as a songwriter. His music has a personal resonance with me that goes back to the first time I ever heard "Leader of the Band" and "Same Old Lang Syne". His songs are beautiful and tough, sad and joyous all at the same time.

"Believe In Me" has to be one of the most quietly beautiful songs of his repertoire. I've always wanted to put it on a project of mine...and it seems perfect for Light In The Rain. Here's also a bonus clip of Dan performing the song.

Believe In Me – Dan Fogelberg
(from the album Windows and Walls)

VERSE 1
If I could ever say it right
And reach your hostage heart despite
The doubts you harbor then you might
Come to believe in me.

VERSE 2
The life I lead is not the kind
That gives a woman peace of mind
I only hope someday you'll find
That you can believe in me.

VERSE 3
Those other loves that came before
Mean nothing to me anymore
But you can never be quite sure
And will not believe in me.

BRIDGE
Too many hearts have been broken
Failing to trust what they feel
But trust isn't something that's spoken
And love's never wrong when it's real.

VERSE 4
If I could only do one thing
Then I would try to write and sing
A song that ends your questioning
And makes you believe in me.

“Believe In Me” by Dan Fogelberg. (From the album Windows and Walls)

  17. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
