Amen Dunes - Believe Lyrics

one of the best songs of the decace

This is such a great song

LifeGate drove me here :)

This is a brilliantly written beautiful song and one i'll def come back to. I love the smooth sad rolling feel of the guitar playing....
Only minor critique I have of Amen Dunes is they could maybe benefit from being a little more wild and imaginative with their videos.
There seems to be recurring theme of Damon lying around in his apartment slightly homoretically pouting at the camera in melancholy.
I'm not sure about the crossover appeal of that image if the band want to get big.
There are so many more interesting things to do with a vid like, animation, crazy dancing, flying, cgi, wearing crazy costumes, even go crazy and weave a deep story with puppets or something. Even just less pouting and more dark urban decay scenes would be better.
Maybe none of the above, but my point is the imagination's the limit, which is no limit really.

I can tell you aren't a musician or artist. Maybe go back to your hippy edm festival Idk. But it's just a critique man.

"Do it for you, I'm not down. Big strong, thick skin. Her heart started racin, her hips start to move. When things go black i got youuuuu."

Cannot wait to see this dude at pitchfork this is one of the best songs ever off the best album of 2018

I was reading something in an magazine about this song. He wrote this song thinking about her mother. When McMahon began recording this album, his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. This song is loosely about how McMahon came to terms diagnosis. Then, I was thinking that in this video he intentionally trays to show her with the home old recordings when McMahon was a kid and she was young, strong, and powerful. It's a very sad and nostalgic song, but MacMahon try to say to everbody that how we can wake up and start to see our tiny lifes that we should be: conscious, grateful and compassionate.

is this actually Damon's home recording? Also nice apartment man.

I'm not down!!!

92 92 92 92 92...................

How can this song only have 58,000+ views?! This song is THE T*TS?!

I love how at the end of this video you understand that he is daydreaming about someone, and even though he's physically is alone, he really isn't. He is daydreaming about a ghost of love! <3

Which is slightly odd since the song is about his mum

@DrDoomTheOptimist I didn't put the girl in the video, but you can still love and miss your Mum, right? His Mother has terminal cancer and one day he could be without her, alone, and still with her in thought and love, sorta like I originally said, right.......

@Moongrime No yeah I mean of course who am I to say what the video means to Damon.... I just had heard the song was all about his sick mom. I haven't really been into Freedom all too long. I was late to the listening party, but I did get on a guest list for his stop in Nashville. It was a brilliant performance although only just shy of an hour....

I understand where you're coming from, but the thing I've always considered an integral component to real, meaningful art, is being ambiguous! I mean, yes, you can have a powerful black and white statement, but I prefer deeper, ambiguous explorations of everything. What means X to me could mean Y to you, through its interpretation, good art can be Universal and multi faceted! <3

@Moongrime Second that emotion! I Couldn't agree more. I'm really excited for the future of Amen Dunes on some real shit. I feel it's going to get even better.

This song takes you places man... definitely song of the year and then some.

Fuck I'm crying... So beautiful.

I wasn't sure about adding this to the "sad" playlist until I saw the video.

Beautiful song ❤️

seems to me baby you don't want to stay / that's ok if that's true
