    Story Behind the Song
    I wanted to try something in that wonderful C G C F B E tuning that Nick Drake used so beautifully on several of his songs. One of his songs, "Hangin' on a Star," inspired me to write the music for this song. I had never heard a guitar played quite that way before; it sounds almost like a piano. His music is really worth checking out. I recorded this demo in Belgrade, Serbia, in the winter of 2000.




    Lyrics
    WHY BELIEVE

    1. Why believe
    Why try
    Why imagine
    Spirits fly
    What curse
    On me
    Wantin' more than
    I can see

    Makin' my way up that holy mountain
    Won't you help me climbin' up that holy mountain

    2. Eastern man
    Western man
    Your market's tellin' you
    What's to understand
    Why need
    Somethin' to believe
    When you see wrong does it move you
    Do you grieve

    We climbin' together up that holy mountain
    Climbin' together up that holy mountain

    3. Why believe
    Why try
    Why imagine
    Spirits fly
    Why faith
    Why prayer
    If no religion
    Will people really share
    Eastern man
    Western man
    Can we help each other, brother
    Tell me if you can
    What curse
    On us all
    We long for the stars
    But here we crawl

    We crawlin' together up that holy mountain
    Crawlin' together up that holy mountain


    c) Paul Meredith, 1997
