I worked for Delta at Atrium One in Cincinnati and Eliot was our security guard at the time (1993). We’d talk, go to lunch, park for free for reds games, etc. One day, later, I walked in, and there was a new lady security guard there. I asked what happened to Eliot and she said he hit the big time and quit. That’s when I heard this song the first time it ever played on the radio in Cincinnati. It wasn’t until just recently, we reconnected again. After 25 years.
The first time I heard this song was when it was used as the ending theme for an episode of the tv series "Cold Case". I was immediately taken in by it. It was the perfect song for that show. Oddly enough, I never heard of it when it was first released, even though I was born in 1982.
Just saw them yesterday in New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA at their Tour show. They are the absolute nicest people I have ever met from a band. They are down to earth and humble. After their concert, all of them stayed an extra hour to speak to every single person in the room. Love them ♡ They sound even better in person and I had goosebumps the entire time. The guitarist, bassist, drummer and the lead singer Elliot who played the piano while singing was so beautiful, no filters, nothing fake, just pure talent and blessings they are sharing. I highly recommend if you're hoping to support a band/group, this is it!
My son has add. When he was little and still to this day when he listens to this song he calms down. True fact. My son and I saw them in concert at the New York State Fair when my son was 8 . The radio station that was sponsoring the group asked my son and I to go on stage in the wings. The look on my little boy's face was priceless. After the concert we met the group, Eddie Toot signed drumsticks for my son and the whole group signed my son's painter's cap. WHAT A BLESSED DAY. Love always finds a way.
We thought when this BEAUTIFUL, emotionally charged song came out it reflected the times then... Well, we NOW see it playing out today even more.... " Violence is spread worldwide and theres families on the street,... We sell drugs to children... Money's our incentive now so that makes it okay.... God, please let LOVE be resurrected in your Holy name Jesus. Its not religion, we're designed to Love, not hate. Amen.
In the world we live...this song should be the soundtrack, I believe LOVE is the answer!!!! Not hatred! Love one another! We all bleed red and breathe the same air! Colors shouldn't matter. The only race...should be a marathon!!!!!
I was searching for Hits songs of 1995 and came across this song that I use to love but had forgotten about..... Here I am in 2018 and still loving it...
Oh man, this is literally one of the best written songs of all time.. If only all people were like him.. Black white asian hispanic etc.. Then there would be no racism.. Im fearful a real race war is starting due to ignorance.. Wish they could all just listen to this song and have a moment of silence for the hope that the futures children do not grow up to hate as the previous generations have..
One of the most beautiful songs. Really pertinent message in today's racial and political climate. Even more so than when it came out. Underrated band, underrated song.
@@mommyof3_908 It's just a song, it changes nothing and no-one. I guarantee you not a single racist asshole has had their mind changed by hearing this song. Besides, we have bigger problems to worry about. The planet is currently dying around us, and both sides are unwilling to take the necessary action to ensure our survival as a species. The Republicans want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that the Earth isn't literally on fire, as though that will somehow make it true. Meanwhile, the Democrats are concerned about identity politics and who's the most "woke", when what they should be focused on is which candidates have the most comprehensive and practical plans to deal with the mounting threat of rampant pollution and climate change.
Youre such a beautiful person Elliot...congratulations and thank you for this sooo profound and wonderful masterpiece!!!..MAY OUR FATHER GOD...continue to use and bless you!!
Very uplifting, Very Emotional. I do believe that love is the answer." Love is Kind, Love never Fails. No matter what your going through just remember that God's love is very strong." And Never give up on someone who loves you very much. Friendship is a special Gift from the Lord. When your hurting, God has your pain and sickness and all your worries. God hears our hearts and knows what you're going through. Love is the answer, 🙏🙏🙏💖💜❤
I heard this song on the radio yesterday so I had to find it on RUclips! I loved this song back when it first came out and I love it even more so now that I’m an adult! Powerful lyrics that speak strongly to me even then! I had forgotten about Blessid Union of Souls and this song. I’m so glad the radio station in Wilmington NC played it yesterday so I could enjoy them all over again!!!
Yeah it is and it will be. I've shown this song to my grandkids and they're still listening to it. Just like Mozart, his music was passed down from generation to generation as long as the song hits a cord in one person, it'll survive the through the ages.
I still remember the first time I heard this song, driving, in the 90s. I've been seeing Lisa now for a little over a year... beautiful. It still comes to me...
+Teal Chasten I'm looking for a vocalist that can sing it. we remixed it, into a house song but it still has the same feel and love to it. anybody feel free to hit me up about singing for the new 2016 remix.!! :D
+Dario Pravettoni I'm a huge fan of remixing songs to house,but it would take some serious convincing to make me believe that this song wouldn't be totally killed by putting a house vibe to it,but I'm open minded,can you post it so we can either praise you like jesus if its Fire or rip you a new one if its wack..hahahahaha,hope you find a vocalist tho..
+Dario Pravettoni are you gonna be posting it on your youtube page? I've checked a few times today and haven't seen it yet so I'm guessing you're still mastering it .can't wait to hear it.
Was für ein geniales Lied. Ein Lied was sich für die Liebe einsetzt und alle Hindernisse überwindet. Die Liebe ist nicht nur ein Symbol, sondern steht wie Gleichheit, Freiheit, Demokratie und vor allem Frieden für die Einheit der Mensch. What brilliant song. A song what for the love exerts itself and overcomes all obstacles. The love is not only a symbol, but stands like equality, freedom, democracy and before all peace for the unity the person.
Heard Blessid Union tonight in concert for the 4th of July Celebration in Fort Thomas, Kentucky. Awesome concert and "I Believe" is an incredible song.
Impenneteri thank u so much for this upload. I never knew this group performed on NBCs Friday Night. And they performed the full uncensored version. What a great song! Thx once again!
This song is just perfect! I heard this song Years ago and in 2010 after I got outta prison and wanted a new life and the husband God had chosen for me... this song came to mind and little did I know.. God had the most wonderful man picked out for me .. and myself for him!!! So my family may not like it but I have the Best new family and my baby girl plus he and my baby boy and I have never been happier!!!!! And he's The most handsome, loving and compassionate man I know besides Jesus Christ....
This song is very inspired and could open the heart,soul and mind it touches every listeners' heart... and I really do believe that "love" is the answer...
Love is the answer, but most people aren't asking the right question, and therefore won't find the love their searching for. Because "true" love comes from within oneself, not without.

We need these guys to come back. The U.S. needs to hear this song now
AMEN
The world needs them, my friend, the world.
Happier people is lower ratings for news

I've never felt these lyrics more than this year.
Absolutely
What?
ya man, it's a fucking tragedy how ultra-relevant every word STILL is
2020 now. The message was truth then, still truth to this day.
Angelo Cardena. What year did that song come out? 🤔
1995... I think
@@ksierractrl2314 Could not agree more!

Following him on ig and tictok
That's awesome!
Absolutely awesome! It shows they are humbled and are just like you and me, they are people. I am happy that you got to experience that!
The piano sound of this music... It goes straight to my soul!! Beautiful melody!!!!
The first time I heard this song I couldn't stop listening to it.. 25 years later its still amazing with an incredible message
The world today needs this type of music back..
A brilliant MASTERPIECE! This wonderfull speaks straight to our soul!

This band is from my hometown of Cincinnati Ohio I love this band their songs speak to the heart
"all we do is eliminate our future with the things we do today...but love is the answer" damn that's beautiful poetry.
We thought when this BEAUTIFUL, emotionally charged song came out it reflected the times then...
Well, we NOW see it playing out today even more....
" Violence is spread worldwide and theres families on the street,...
We sell drugs to children...
Money's our incentive now so that makes it okay....
God, please let LOVE be resurrected in your Holy name Jesus.
Its not religion, we're designed to Love, not hate.

2018 anyone? This song is so powerful
I was searching for Hits songs of 1995 and came across this song that I use to love but had forgotten about..... Here I am in 2018 and still loving it...
this song reminds me my high school life in USA
Love this song....still so relevant! And such a beautiful song.

"He'll see me as a person"... We've veered from this, haven't we.? All people care about is identity. This world does need to hear this song.
Love this song. Can't stop listening to this song so powerful lyrics... 2017
Live it is as beautiful as the one recorded. I believe love is the answer💙💚
Hallo alex from milan Italy 🇮🇹
First heard it at 13, and love it just as much now in my 40s
This song is amazing. Love has no color.
True ❤❤
2019, I’ve been listening to this song since it came out and I was a youngster.. Still love it.. Great song and a classic
Same!! Since I was 11...wow lol
One of the most beautiful songs. Really pertinent message in today's racial and political climate. Even more so than when it came out.
Underrated band, underrated song.
My thoughts exactly!
How is it underrated? It was a smash hit that hit #8 on the US Billboard Billboard Hot 100. You couldn't turn a radio on without hearing this ...
overrated comment.
Rachel Rud rud rachel
If dats your real picture, you are stunning :)
I've looking for this for this song for years, wowwwwwwwwwww the days of Mor Music tv.
This is ultimately one of the most beautiful songs ever.....
you know music is dead when your favourite songs are 10 years and older.....
True
Beautiful song that is still meaningful today.
That's debatable.
And even more so now.

Its 2019 i still love this song😚
It’s 2018 ....... I have loved this song since 2000 . Reminds of Madison , Wisconsin
Yes, artistic song with strong message of peace and love... Could be one of the most influencing song among millions of songs that human created.
This is one of my favorite songs spanning all genres and styles. Hands down. This is in my top five.
Youre such a beautiful person Elliot...congratulations and thank you for this sooo profound and wonderful masterpiece!!!..MAY OUR FATHER GOD...continue to use and bless you!!
A Cold Case binge sent me here. Hitchhiker episode
anyone still listening and watching this Great Song in 2016..?

Absolutely!

I do... I remember listening to them at 10. one of my favorite bands of all time.
So awesome !!!
I’ve cried so many times to this song
This song hits home for me home for me in many wAys. I loved this song when it came out years ago and here in Aug 24 I love it even more
I heard it on the radio and had to listen to it again what a deep song
I can't listen to this without crying. Beautiful beyond measure.
This song is still beautiful and touching in 2019
I believe this song won't get old

I believe love is the answer!!
a timeless classic
Meh, I highly doubt this song will still be remembered 300 years from now, anything by Mozart on the other hand...
Yeah it is and it will be. I've shown this song to my grandkids and they're still listening to it. Just like Mozart, his music was passed down from generation to generation as long as the song hits a cord in one person, it'll survive the through the ages.
God, this really touches my heart. Blessed Union of Souls.
Here I am.. Nov 2rd 2019, still listening this song..Coz, I believe..Love is the answer ☺
Sometimes one hit is all you need. I love this song.
Jesus is the answer 🙏🏼 reach out take his hand 🖐
No.
So much better than the music today.
Que tristeza que en esta época la juventud no sepa del buen oír desde colombia Santa Marta bendiciones a ustedes
Uffff temazo clásico de clásicos un saludo desde Colombia
We all need this song right now
This song really is such a beautiful song. It made me cry so hard its so sad but in a good way now you know when a song can make u cry its powerful

I believe...! Jesus...! 💗🙏🏼🙇🏻♀️
I believe (heh) that if this song was remade today, that it would be a hit.
+Teal Chastain this might be the truest statement on youtube,it would be a mega smash
