Richie's new singles '24

In my opinion, it's the best one of the bunch.

My rank would be

1. I Pray
2. Songs That Wrote My Life
3. Living Alone
4. Believe (In Miracles)

There's something strange with this song. The effect in Richie's voice is not good and it seems like it was recorded several years ago. His voice seems a lot stronger.

My rank would be

1. I Pray
2. Living Alone
3. Songs That Wrote My Life
4. Believe (In Miracles)

I just wish we were getting more...

It's from the same Bob Rock sessions from the last few years. His voice is still pretty strong.

1) Livin' Alone

1. Livin' Alone

Not feeling Believe (In Miracles) so far, but the others are all enjoyable.

1. Livin' Alone

3. Believe (In Miracles)
4. Songs That Wrote My Life

Good songs. Hope there's more coming soon.

IMO, this may be the hardest song to decipher that Richie has released to date. I'm not even going to bother with italics because any of it is up for question!!

In particular, "Drown in heaven... The Bridge of Sighs" means nothing to me, if that's even what he says; so if someone can shed some light on that, I'd appreciate it.

That said, here's my best shot at it.


We gotta believe

We’re all born to be miracles
Underneath each other’s skies
Drown in heaven (?) for I saw you standing there
Standing on the Bridge of Sighs (?)
It’s been a long, long time since I came to find
Someone who looked like, looked like a friend of mine

Sing a song for our future (futile?) days
The struggles of days we sought alone,
The sorrow, the laughter; oh tomorrow
Help me sing a song for hope.
We gotta believe in miracles
When you dream, do not lose your heart
When maybe love, yes love, kindness ain’t giving up
Try helping the helpless, homeless, heartless
Find the faith to keep them alive
Ya gotta believe in miracles.
Maybe a miracle is all we need to get by.

You can light a thousand candles
Sing a choir of unheard prayers
But if you don’t get an answer
It leaves you soulless, goin’ nowhere
It’s been a long, long time wandering this humankind
Trying to tell our life story, tracing the tears we left behind.

Sing a song for our future (futile?) days
The songs of this globe that we call home
The sorrow, the laughter; oh tomorrow
Help me sing a song for hope.
We gotta believe in miracles
Maybe it’s time to try
When the waves get rough, giving ain’t giving up
Try helping the helpless, homeless, heartless
Find the faith to keep them alive
Gotta believe in miracles.
Maybe it’s time to try.

(Guitar solo)

Sing a song for the helpless, for the children,
For this world that we call home
The sorrow, the laughter; oh tomorrow
Help me sing a song for hope.
We’ve gotta believe in miracles
When you dream, do not lose your heart
Whenever love gets rough, and kindness calls your bluff
Try helping the helpless, homeless, heartless
Find the faith to keep them alive
We've gotta believe in miracles.
Maybe a miracle is all we need to get by, get by.
Believing in miracles is all we’ll need to get by.

Idem. All songs work for me. All songs written by Richie ****ing Sambora.
