about
Michael P Cullen’s new single, “Do You Believe”, is a vivid, swirling tale of a marriage almost beyond reprieve. Cullen’s melancholy baritone glides over a shimmering cocktail of seventies organ, insistent drums, a web of beats and loops and Cullen’s own guitar alternately chiming and feeding back throughout.
Produced with Tim Powles of The Church and mixed by English producer Danton Supple, the track is rich and dense. Mr Supple applies just enough polish to get the song on the radio without smoothing out too many of Cullen’s rough edges. Do You Believe is Cullen’s first release since last year’s Live At Lazybones EP which followed the critically acclaimed True Believer LP
lyrics
Do You Believe by Michael P Cullen
she was wearing that red dress, I could weep all the promises that we, couldn’t keep holding hands on the edge of our journey into the deep do you believe, do you believe, do you believe in love?
do you believe, do you believe, do you believe ? that dress ten years in a box and mould creeps no surrender until, I find the sleep and the seed all falls on the bitter earth so we reap do you believe, do you believe, do you believe in love? do you believe, do you believe, do you believe? give me reprieve do you believe in us ? doing the rumba in that basement room dancing the tango in the afternoon gloom sounds of Before Hollywood rising through the rising damp on that parquetry floor baby we left our stamp do you believe, do you believe, do you believe in love? do you believe, do you believe, do you believe ? will you receive love do you believe in us ?
