A friend of mine from Canada introduced this artists music to me. It's a shame he never caught on here in the U.S. He's incredibly talented as a musician and songwriter AND, did you know he's now a professor of philosophy at the King's College in the UK? You don't get more well-rounded than that! God bless ya Paul!
@62reasons I agree with you, I have always loved this song and his "Prayer" song, Paul has such a gorgeous voice.....wowwwww...absolutely gorgeous songs xoxo
In the early 1990s, while other teenagers were falling in love with The New Kids on the Block, I was falling in love with Paul Janz. I still think his music is awesome!
I have never forgotten this great guy!!! In my teen year, I was so deeply "in love" with him!!! I wish he could do a come back and come in Montreal on day!!! His songs are still so good to hear and sing too!!!
There's no Paul Janz song that isn't awesome. And this is one of his best.
Too bad he never made it as big as many less talented performers. I can't remember the last time I heard one of his songs on the radio. That's too bad.
beautiful song.what can you say,i am left speechless .i feel ashamed i have forgotten this song i still have this on vinyl.the people who dislike this song must have a tin ear.i guess i will go and dig the album out and listen to both sides thank you for jogging an old mans memory.
Perfection...absolute perfection. I love Paul Janz so much..i wish he would grace us all again with the gift of his amazing voice and his magical lyrics. I miss real music and talent...<3 Sigh!!!
I first heard this song the year I left for university, gave me chills then and now some 25 years later I still get the chills listening to this song.
This is one of the most inspirational songs I have ever heard. Makes me think about how strong love really is, and what one would do to keep it.
When I first heard Believe In Me, I was just a teenager and it made me think about how much I loved my parents. Today, my thoughts are about how much my children mean to me.
Paul Janz has a remarkeable gift of writing songs that allow people to truly express their love and emotions for those surrounding them. You're a good man. God bless you.
"Believe in me, reach out with your heart, no power in the world will keep us apart ..."
... this is love. Paul's incredible love song still plays on the radio. I heard it this morning and found it again on You Tube. To watch him sing his love all out at the piano just grabs the heart. Does he even realize how much he is adored? Thanks for keeping the music playing. Evy
The sad part is that Paul Janz's 80s hits are not available on the Canadian iTunes. I am referring to songs like this one, Believe In Me, as well as Close My Eyes, and Every Little Tear.
I am not sure why that's so - I am guessing the original music label and iTunes cannot reach agreement, or maybe it's just an oversight.
I encourage anyone who liked his early music to send a request to iTunes to add the above songs.
Every time I listen to this the tears fly from my eyes and I literally break down emotionally. What a powerful ballad about unconditional love and the need to be needed. I think of the homeless of the world, the lonely, the poor and destitute, the sick, and especially the children of the street and those who are abused and abandoned. Pray for them please.
I keep sending this song to my wife in hopes that through the powerful words of this potently emotional ballad she will learn that I am worthy of better treatment and respect from her. There's no better song in the world to use when trying to reach someone you love and are so close to losing. Sadly, even through the beautiful melody and message, I'm afraid I've lost her...
Such a great songwriter... still love hearing these tunes, especially the intricacies of the music. A lot of today's writers and composers could learn a lot from Paul Janz.
A truly wonderful and deep song. Notice the little boy in the right lower corner at 3:14 and 3:37 not being able to stand still and how he's replaced at 3:43. Probably had to go to the bathroom :)
I found another version of this song that was sung by a female and male. I have no idea who the artists were, but I'd love to find locate it! I've searched everywhere. The Demi Lovato verison is not it. Can anyone please help with the names of the artists or where I should even begin looking? I've Googled it in every way, shape, and form...yet nothing...Thank you!
@NatalieJanz Been a big fan of Paul Janz since the start and while I knew he was part of Deliverance I didn't realize until your post and my subsequent wikipedia search that it was actually a brother act. I checked out your stuff Natalie, it sounds and looks great, best of luck!
Bless your heart. You must love your uncle very much; with every good reason. So does the rest of 'our' nation. Many way out east of Manitoba border. We love the 'west' more than politicians try to paint us as anti-west. Still listening to your Uncle's beautiful music; and everyone else from an hour or two or three, away.
Finally! I have been looking and looking for this song. I have to sing it, and I had no copy of it. Well, I've heard it on here (thank you!) and learned it after my one listen, and now I can do what some wonderful people asked me to do for them, Many thanks!
This is such a timeless tune so why is it that I haven't heard it played anywhere in 20 years? Such a shame. It still makes me tear up. Thanks for posting.
This song was played at my girlfriend's funeral in 1991. I lost the cassette when some a-hole broke into my car and stole it from the tape player and this is the first time I've heard it in years. Brings back a lot of memories both happy and melancholy. In spite of all that I always thought Paul Janz was a very good songwriter and his presence on the Canadian music scene is missed.
Beautiful song with beautiful words felt so deep within .For my soul mate i have been so blessed and lucky to have found you in this life time .If i should go before you please never forget for even a second how much i appreciated you and your love very much and i carried your heart and you with me always.Jason i love you with all my heart and soul forever and always ,Celtic Fc,Scotland shall live where no other has ever touched.xxx
This is great canadian music. I saw paul at canada 125 in ottawa. I wish he was still producing this great music. I can still remember the first time I hard this song.
Met this man in the market in Ottawa. I really loved talking to him. Truly one the best canadian artist in the 80's. I just wish all his music was posted.
btw this was a love theme on Days of Our Lives ( Frankie and Jennifer)
I am trying to fine lyrics to song called Praying, but no luck. Can some one let me know where to go

I am very happy to see that there are people who still remember Paul Janz.
He is my dad's cousin and they were both singers of the band Deliverance.
And I am going down the same road.
If you're curious, just go onto YouTube and listen to "Sweeter Than Wine".
