Need to Believe

"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil...Doesn't matter if it's true or not. You see, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in."
--Hub, Second Hand Lions

A friend posted this quote in his blog and it led to a bit of inspiration on my part, this song being the result.

you wrote this song?.. and.. why is it like the message is a line in the movie 'the secondhand lions'.. just wondering.. =P

[wailinailinn]

Yes I wrote this song. I was inspired to write it based on a quote from the movie "Secondhand Lions" that is listed in the video's profile description.

Thank you...I enjoy writing songs that have a meaning, message, or lesson in them...the vacuous pre-packaged stuff on mainstreamed radio far too often lacks that....the trick though is not to get too preachy and keep the message open enough to appeal to more than just a handful of people.

[wailinailinn]

Why thank you!  *blush* ^_^

Glad you found your way here. I do do cover songs (mostly Celtic Folk stuff) but I use Youtube to get feedback on my original stuff...it encourages me to keep working on my own music and not get caught up in self-doubt.

Thank you for the great comment---it inspires me to keep posting and sharing! :)
