From the recording Wood&Wires
"Gotta Believe" began as an Americana, sort of Traveling Wilbury style song, with 12-string electric, acoustic guitar...Then some wine in Colorado and some tequila in Arizona and Spencer's trombone changed everything.
Eddy Roswell: guitars, keyboards, synth saxxx, vocals
Spencer Pyne: bass, trombone
David Sondrup: drums
Donald Young: trumpet
Micah Thole: double bass
Kameshia Hazard: backing vocals

GOTTA BELIEVE (Skibbe)

The odds are long
The chips are down
The wheel is turning
‘Round and ‘round and around
You cross your fingers
Knock on wood
You’d throw a virgin in a volcano
If you thought it’d do any damn good
You gotta believe, gotta believe
Gotta believe in love
You gotta believe, gotta believe
Gotta believe in love
Believe in love
The cold hard winter
Just hangs on
You don’t remember
One so dark or so long
You search for a blossom
Pray for a sign
You’d trade grandma’s bible
For a single blessed ray of sunshine
You gotta believe, gotta believe
Gotta believe in love
You gotta believe, gotta believe
Gotta believe in love
Believe in love
Lost and lonely line every street
In the quiet night you hear their hearts beat
Like a hum in the wires, a tingle beneath your skin
Life is a game and love wins, love wins
You gotta believe, gotta believe
Gotta believe in love
You gotta believe, gotta believe
Gotta believe in love
Believe in love
The odds are long
The chips are down
The wheel is turning
‘round and ‘round and around
