“I Don’t Believe” started its life on my bed at about 3 in the morning 4 years ago.
I tend to gravitate towards the singer-songwriter driven rock and roll of the 70s, and this song is my love letter to that kind of big, cinematic sound.
I made a conscious effort to make a rock record this time around, and in doing so, traded acoustic guitars for electrics on almost every tune.
We recorded the basic tracks live to tape, and you’ll hear the imperfections of a live band, but also the energy of one. The energy is what counts; that’s what makes you feel something.
The forthcoming record this song is a part of is called “Right On Time”, and that’s mainly because its release is way late. I just wasn’t in the right headspace to put it out at the time when we completed it.
I had to fall in love with music again, and remember why I do this in the first place.
There’ll be more announcements this summer. Until then, give the track a spin and be well.
