about

This tune speaks to the fact that whatever we focus on, whether good or ill; whatever we hold in our minds and hearts is what we tend to bring into our lives. The beliefs we're not even aware of (childhood stuff mostly) are often more important than the ones on the surface, those things we think we know. Sort of a double-edge sword where we get what we persistently ask for, and it isn't always what we thought it would be. Then again, it's often better than we could have imagined. What do you believe?

lyrics

Whatever We Believe

I've never been one to complain too much
but I don't like what I see.
Everybody's posing with hands on their hips
sayin' "what's in it for me?" Some people say
"don't you fuckin' losers mess with me like that,
don't you know who I am?"
Ain't no free lunch and no one rides for free
just shut your mouth and step back.

(Chorus)
We create whatever we're dreamin' of
and we become whatever we really love.

I've done my best to make sense of this
but I have to admit
It's anyone's guess what happens next
it might all turn to shit.
All I know is that everything comes back
with each turning of the Wheel
No use pretending it'll be alright
c'mon and get real. (Chorus)

(instrumental bridge)

(Guitar solo)

(Chorus)

(More guitar solo - emulating Joe Walsh's "talk-box" on the seminal 70's hit "Rocky Mountain Way". Peter Frampton did a similar thing with "Show Me the Way" but Pete's was totally lame,due to a cheesy tone, imho.)
