Believe (2003/2014) Words and Music by Peter Jones and Scott M. Stringham. This song- it has literally taken 2 decades to mature. Written for WMTS, I came up with a musical bit and Scott showed up one day with nearly perfect lyrics. It came out very complex and nearly perfect. It was the capstone of the Believe album, and then I started fiddling with it. Originally it was in F with a 6/8 time signature, played on an acoustic guitar with an open tuning. I adjusted it to 4/4 and in G, played on keyboards and electric guitars tuned standard. The lyrics evolved slowly, but in 2014 a bunch of life changes inspired me to rewrite the words a bit. Very meticulous work. Everything here is very deliberate and purposeful. Rebecca Willard, a childhood friend and professional music producer, heard this and insisted on mixing it. It is extremely ironic that I send my music to Rebecca, as we had reversed roles earlier in life with me being the audio technician and she fulfilling the role of the performer.
