He brought this wonderful song, the spirit and the message of one beautiful soul taken away from life way too early, back to life in a raw and honest way. Thanks for that.
Respectfully, I disagree. The original with Jon singing is the best by far. As far as TSO singers, I absolutely love Robin Borneman’s rendition and his voice fit the song perfectly. Nate is good but Robin’s rendition is by far my favorite.
His was the first time I heard this song last Saturday. Now that I'm obsessed I've heard every version, but live at Climate Pledge Arena 11/23/24 will always be my favorite.
I feel like this song was written just for me. So relatable. Masterfully performed too. I get goosebumps head to toe every time I hear it. Just love it! ❤
Going through a very hard time in life right now, my wife and i just separated and I'm devastated. This song is directly from God to me right now. Just believe in Him and things will work out.,
It's a good version. But the original version cannot be matched. This is because Oliva really felt this song (and also the entire album), it's a part of his life. All the others are just singing the song. Oliva singed his reality.
The original version will always be unmatched. Jon Olivia’s passion really makes this song. Robin Borneman is easily my favorite TSO singer to sing this song, but Nate’s version is good as well.
The song is originally from Savatage's rock opera "Streets." It is about a man who only sought fame and fortune through his music. When he achieved it, he found that his life was shallow and in many ways "out of control." He reintroduced himself to his prior "faith" with a new perspective, perhaps a more balanced one. "Believe" is the final track to that album. It doesn't really say what is next, it leaves that to the listener to interpret.
@robhake Bro I have asked this question for years ! You have explained it the best so far and un like most your take is awesome and makes total sense ! Thank you so much for this hopefully others will see this explanation of the song also !
That’s a tough answer. The only way to fully get it is to listen to the entire album as it’s the last song and each song builds upon the next as the story unfolds. Google, Streets a Rock Opera by Savatage and enjoy.
@@Dman425 that’s why you have to follow the story but it certainly is a ‘chat’ with Jesus. Paul Oneil, to me, was the greatest song writer. It’s always hard to know exactly what he means in any song honestly but after listening to the full album it does help. Just don’t take the ‘one night stand’ literally as we speak of it today about sex. That’s where the other 15 songs help tell the story. I could be wrong, and it’s too late to ask Paul, but to me after all the ups and downs in this story about the main character, I feel the heart is an offering. He wants into heaven but did not live his life in such a manner that allows it. He did not, Believe.
You need to listen to the whole album. Its a metal opera. This band was sooooo criminally under rated. It would become a tribute to Jon's brother Cris who was killed by a drunk driver in 93'. Just days before I was finally going to get to see these guys live for the first time
I really like this guy's voice, but it's a pretty muddy delivery of a song that Jon sang in a very distinct, crisp fashion. It's a little bit hard to convert this one in my mind.
This dude is so awesome, amazing, I just can't describe how amazing his voice, his emotions, his performance. Just masterful, magical, unparalleled.
Dude, you're awesome. Merry Christmas!

This song always makes me cry, he's Amazing
TSO can never be bad. Every one of them touch my soul.
I said that and someone called me a baby I said it was my first time
Hearing something like that is hard to handle. God damn it, Jon Oliva, thank you for all that you gave us! :)
No one but Nate Amor should ever sing this song ❤❤❤❤❤

2:51 definite goosebump moment

I feel like this song was written just for me. So relatable. Masterfully performed too. I get goosebumps head to toe every time I hear it. Just love it! ❤

TSO Keeps Criss Oliva's memory alive!
What a voice... my god!
Going through a very hard time in life right now, my wife and i just separated and I'm devastated. This song is directly from God to me right now. Just believe in Him and things will work out.,
The solo is so beautiful

Trans-siberian orchestra my hobbies are painting pictures 🖼 and listening to shortwave and ssb iam thinking about getting my ham license

Like most i ask what this song is about? Ive yet to see anyone that can give me a answer ! So plz lets hear you answers !

Listen to the grittier, but somehow cleaner, version of the song. Savatage - Believe with Jon Oliva on vocals.

What is this song about? I’m confused with the opening lines
That’s a tough answer. The only way to fully get it is to listen to the entire album as it’s the last song and each song builds upon the next as the story unfolds. Google, Streets a Rock Opera by Savatage and enjoy.
@@seahawkerman71 the “After all these one night stands” line is what confuses me. Most of the song sounds like it talking about Jesus
@@Dman425 that’s why you have to follow the story but it certainly is a ‘chat’ with Jesus.
