Believed in Me - American Idol Songwriter Competition Entry

Hey everybody. This is my pre-production, piano/vocal entry for the American Idol Songwriter competition. In the likely event that it doesn't find an audience with the AI producers (we songwriters are competing with thousands upon thousands of other entries!), I hope to record a bigger, better quality production in the future. Sorry there's no interesting video to go along with it, but I'll post the lyrics below to keep your eyes busy while you listen:) Go to www.rpsd.com/moblog and scroll down to hear lots of other entries!

Enjoy!

Believed in Me

Thought everything was just fine before
Nothing carved in stone but all so comfortable
I was so content, still I had my doubts
Then you came along, you turned the whole thing inside out.

There were times when I couldn't see
The path ahead was such a mystery
But now it's clear to me,
And while so many settle for
Less than they have dreamed
I'm where I want to be
'Cause you believed in me
Believed in me.

So everything before was just a prelude to
A beautiful symphony that plays to me through you
And in case it's all a dream
Please don't pinch me yet
I want to savor every single moment.

Chorus

Sometimes it takes a little push
A hand to point the right direction
And we'll see what we've been missing,
What we've been missing.

wasnt this one on the top twenty? i believe it was one of the four songs i thought actually deserved to be up there. everything else was crap.

[BrandonHarrisWalker]

Hey guys. That's very kind of you but this one didn't make it into the top 20. They only accept song that are broadcast quality, and this one just ain't. I'm hoping to re-record it sometime soon. Thanks for your support!

[posaune16]

The real question - will you be making sheet music available for purchase?

[BrandonHarrisWalker]

Hmm..perhaps. I hadn't thought about it, but we'll see. Scoring sheet music gets pretty tedious, but if there's interest, I'll do it. Also, I'm re-recording this song and I'm doing it right, so stay tuned!

[xcdan77]

Did this singer sing in any a capella groups at JMU?

[BrandonHarrisWalker]

Yeah, he was in Project

[BrutalBubba]

David Archuleta would sing this song well ;-)

[1musicmom]

Sorry.

[xEllykinzorsopz]

beautiful<333

[mileyluvergirl]

this is good, just very unoriginal, but u are really good at singing(:

[1musicmom]

I can definitly hear Adam Lambert sing this one when he wins.

[Igotbadjoints]

This is not nearly origional enough, way to commercial & poor lyrics, but you have a good voice..

[Keytaster]

don't want to criticise you, liked Chinese Food on Christmas, but this is as if you were led by your head, not by your heart... you understand? don't know how to put it into words...
