"I Believe" is a single by the American alternative rock band Blessid Union of Souls from their 1995 debut album ''Home''. It is one of their most popular songs, and their highest-charting in the United States, reaching number 8 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song was written after vocalist Eliot Sloan's girlfriend "Lisa" was forced by her father to stop dating Sloan. On the third verse of the edited version, the word "Nigger" is replaced with "Brother." ==History== According to the "I Believe Story" from Blessid Union of Souls's compilation album ''Almost Acoustic (Volume 1)'', the song was written by vocalist Eliot Sloan in the early morning when he imagined the main piano sample which would be used in the song and then played it. Eliot Sloan stated in an interview with The Celebrity Cafe that he wrote the song about his relationship with "Lisa", a girl he once dated. Lisa's father allegedly threatened to cut off her college tuition if she continued to see Eliot. They said good-bye and went their separate ways. He said that he still very much missed her, and placed a message in the liner notes of ''Home'': "Lisa, give me a call sometime just to say hello, my number is still the same."〔''Home'' liner notes〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「I Believe (Blessid Union of Souls song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
