Liner Notes

Dan says: I asked Cory if he wanted to do a co-write this summer... he sent me the prompt "Part-Time Believers" and I wrote a set of lyrics. We sent some audio notes back and forth a couple times, changed a few words here and there and... voilà! The current demo is just a iPhone voice memo version of Cory with guitar and vocals for now but we plan on a studio version in the future.

Cory and I used to cross paths way back in the day as we say... when we were both regularly gallivanting from coffeehouse to coffeehouse with guitars and microphones in tow. I've been trying to get him to join FAWM for a couple years... and here we are. Always good to hear more music. Welcome to the FAWMily Cory. :)

Lyrics

Part-time Believers - July 30, 2024
By Cory Glover and Dan Vaillancourt

She was a part-time believer
Just enough faith to relieve her
Of some guilt

Church bells ring in the distance
Seems like one more instance
Of someone trying to send a sign

Chorus:
Days into weeks into months and years go on
Just trying to pull it together…
And we are part-time believers
But full time, just trying to do the best we can

We couldn’t blame each other
No, never, neither, either of us
Quite on the same page, at the same time

Bridge:
Certainty is a rarity
Certainly it is rare
to have faith
all of the time.

A divine set of circumstance
Faith and doubt in a haphazard dance
Happenstance, that we might just be alright
Yeah, we might be alright

We are part-time believers
Never been cheaters
Might never be over-achievers
Or maybe we will!
Maybe more naive than the others
But we believe in each other
And sometimes that’s all that you need
All that we need
Sometimes that’s all that you need
Belief in each other
Belief in each other!
Sometimes, that’s all you need...
Sometimes, that’s all that you need...
