Believe
For many years we have had the idea of making an album of original songs for Memphis Soul, and we took advantage of the time we have had this last year make this dream a reality. It is almost finished and we are getting excited to share it with you.
Each song has a different story about how it came to be on the album, but I really love the story of the song “Believe”. I worked with Robert, our guitar player, to write the music for the song. But when it came time to work on the lyrics, we got to help a kid who we have watched gr
ow up and into the music business. I first met Jarius when he was one of my students. Later as he was putting himself through college and trying to become a musician and rapper, he came to work for Memphis Soul as a roadie to le
arn more about the music business. So, it was great to get to make the call and ask him to write lyrics for this song and others on the album. It is special for all of us in the band to get to record “Believe” knowing that he had a hand in writing it, and we all had a hand in helping him get his start in music.
