BELIEVING AIN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE [COLLAGE]

[et7waage1]

Simply marvelous!

[mommarox2]

I can relate to this song and I am sure so many others can. this brought tears to my eyes listening to this. you put so much feeling in the words and song, I could feel the sadness.

beautiful song and really enjoyed the slide music.

endless starz

[tomvband]

Thank you again.  Nice of you to take the time.

[nessyvt]

I like the guitar on this song, that slidey, jangly sound ( very technical hey) and the collage really compliments the lyrics. Very well done. Vanessa

[tomvband]

Hey,....I'm good with 'slidey, jangly'.......hahahah....thank you!

[dirkitjes]

this one´s defenately beautyful.....i wish i could sing like you (maybe i should start smoking fat cigars and drink a pine of whiskey a day)

;-)

[tomvband]

it only takes a half pint, and you can get by with Camel Lights......hahahahaha.....tha­nks again man.

[kiguchitoshiya]

Good song , Good lyrics , it's my Favorite !!

[tomvband]

Thank you!!  Thanks for stopping in.

[SPACEFACE70]

Yes thats pretty much the way i think and feel....A lot seems too be wrong with the world but i reckon its always been the same. Good song...

[tomvband]

Thank you Space.

[Oswlek]

Fabulous song and lyrics. I've written a couple with a similar vibe, though not nearly as direct as you have here.

[tomvband]

Same for you Oswelk, I really appreciate your opinions. You have a great collection of tunes yourself.

[jabbamp]

I really like your lyrics Tom. 'Believing ain't what it used to be' amen.

They can make thing so straight forward and simple when we were still naive. How disappointing when we start realising that their truths were just things like greed and control dressed up as good. sad really :o(

Another good song here man :)

[tomvband]

Jab, .....thanks for taking the time man. I appreciate your opinion. And yeah,....it is rather sad in the long run. Way too manipulation going on in this world.

[tomvband]

Thank you Mr. Diggerjim1....I sure do appreciate your comment and your time.

[cadwalladee]

I believe the watchword used to be "Question Authority"... if you let your spam filter down, they'll get you!!

It continues to be a very relevant song, Tom!

[tomvband]

They get me even if I keep my spam filter up. It's terrible. Thank you for swinging by and commenting.

[ROYS5166]

Wow, that is telling it like it is. Ive been around for 76 years and this is the worst I have seen bunch of forked tongueed folks out there. Bunches of stars for that one.

[tomvband]

Thank you Roy.

[alrofril]

*****

I like it !!!

[tomvband]

I like that you like it......thank you for saying so.

[rainydog]

Just one more comment. The subject matter of your song dominated our philosophy curriculum back in the 1960s. You're singing a very important message. It would make a great topic for a great book discussion group. You hit the nail on the head with this song. It's deep, way down deep.

Bill

[tomvband]

You can comment as much as you like,....I was around back in the sixties and I know what you mean. Odd how it's basically the same story after all this time. Does the world ever learn?

[rainydog]

You told it like it is and the message you're singing is an important message. Great song. Five stars and more.

Bill

[tomvband]

Hey Bill.......thank you man.

This video kept going off, so I dodn't get to hear much of it. What I heard I really liked! Thank you for sharing. 5*

[zappatero7]

your song shows a bit of the America I love so much. The America of Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits that's critical and rocking and cool. A lot of people forgot this America because of this George W.-guy, but I did not. I can relate very much to this lyrics.

Great song, Tom.

[tomvband]

I happen to really like both those guys. Waits and Sprinsteen that is. I appreciate your comment man.

[Bearpaws0]
