This is a song that is (as of this writing) *cut* from the (now) two-person Joe DiPietro/Brendan Milburn/Valerie Vigoda musical, ERNEST SHACKLETON LOVES ME. As usual, now that it's no longer in the show, we want to put it out into the world. See the hastily-but-lovingly assembled video here: youtu.be/ad1Im1Wh6tc
lyrics
All the things I believed in my life
the bizarre, crazy things I believed in my life
like the tooth fairy,
world peace,
Bruce,
none of those worked out.
So, what the hell,
what the hell,
what the hell,
there's no reason I shouldn't believe this as well.
A sailor en route to his Antarctic mission
has fallen in love with this unsung musician
and my music gives him the strength to sail on
through the storm and with wind and the grey of the dawn
I will believe every word that he said,
I believe that my music can summon the dead,
transcend the laws of physics,
knock logic on its back;
I don't care if I'm delirious, delirious
I will believe Ernest Shackleton Loves Me.
He loves me!
Yeah, he loves me!
A dead explorer loves me!
I believe that Ernest Shackleton loves me.
