You Would Not Believe


I started this song during my vacation in December and just had the chance to put some finishing touches on it. It now becomes my first song of 2008.

The lyrics came after I watched Spiderman 3. I'm not saying the movie itself was overly inspiring, but the situation was. I found the relationship and miscommunication between Peter and Mary Jane to be pretty believable (I know many people who have similar relationship communication styles). This song came from that.

I wrote this song on the bass guitar, so it is featured as the primary instrument. I also built the song around a single 2 measure drum loop. Everything else is candy and icing.

alt. song titles: "This Is What I Thought That You Would Not Believe" "Peter and Mary Jane" "Spiderman Tries To Convince Mary Jane To Leave It All Behind"

That You Would Not Believe
c2008 Steven Wesley Guiles

Just get, get me out of here
Just get, get me out of here

This is what I thought that you would not believe
This is what I thought that you would not believe

I was at the restaurant when we said we'd meet
That I would propose to you like you wanted me
Champagne bottles popping, and I'm on one knee
This is what I thought that you would not believe

Just get, get me out of here
Just get, get me out of here

I've got more problems that I care to count
Traffic was the worst and then the Christmas crowds
Reservations for two at the blah blah blaheeeeeeee
This is what I thought that you would not believe

Just get, get me out of here
Just get, get me out of here

Don't lay this at my feet darlin' don't you
Think I'd be the one to tell you I'm a
Fool for you, fool for you

Just get, get me out of here
Before we say things we regret
Just get, get me out of here
Let's go while both of us can get

Just get, get me out of here
Before we say things we regret
Just get, get me out of here
Let's go while both of us can get

This is what I thought that you would not believe
This is what I thought that you would not believe

Love the new song!

I even like Spiderman more now that I've heard this one. It's catchy and fun.

Great job man.
