Taking their name from the classic Beatles track, BlackByrd are in the process of turning adult-contemporary pop convention on its head, thanks to Lamb's new-found talent as a critical songwriter. "We've all grown, as people and entertainers," Lamb says. "We're artists now, and loving every minute."
Since January 2012, BlackByrd, along with promoter and music-industry veteran Mike Fuller as manager, have been creating a body of work that will be released as 13-track debut album this September.
Reason to Believe
BlackByrd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
And still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give, never thinking of myself
If I give you time to change my mind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
And still I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you makes it hard to live without somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give, never thinking of myself
If I listen long enough to you
I'd find the way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
Still I look to find a reason to believe
In you
The lyrics of "Reason to Believe" by BlackByrd describe the internal struggle of a person who continues to hold on to hope even in the face of deceit and betrayal. The singer of the song acknowledges that they know the person they are listening to has lied to them in the past, but they still search for a reason to believe that things could be different this time. The song suggests that this hope is driven by the love and connection that the singer feels with this person, someone who makes it both hard to live without them and easy to give of oneself.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Still I look to find a reason to believe" which highlights the tension between the singer's desire to move on from the past and their continued belief that things could still work out. The song seems to suggest that this hope is ultimately self-destructive, but nevertheless, the singer cannot let go. The lyrics are accompanied by a soulful, jazz-inspired melody that underscores the emotional intensity of the lyrics.

You every morning
You every night
You're in my soul, in my heart, in my life
I was a dreamer
You had the plan
Now you're walking away and I don't understand
But how come
It feels okay to know I'll never see you again
How come you never ever tried
I'm doing it all for me
I'm taking the chance to find the real me
I'm letting you go one for three
I gotta do this alone though I'm scared to the bone
I'm not running away
I'm facing my fears
This time a gotta learn to dry my own tears
I'm doing it all for me
Without you, baby
All for me
I'm hoping that I find the strength to move on
And right by your side I thought I would belong
I guess I'm not perfect but I will be strong
'Cos this is the moment
And I want it all
So how come
It feels okay to know I'll never see you again
And how come you never ever cried
I'm doing it all for me
I'm taking the chance to find the real me
I'm letting you go one for three
I gotta do this alone though I'm scared to the bone
I'm not running away
I'm facing my fears
This time I gotta learn to dry my own tears
I'm doing it all for me
Without you, baby
Without you I'm learning that I'm incomplete
Without you there's so much more I wanna be
Without you there's no us
Without you there's just me
Without you it's all up to me yeah
I'm doing it all for me
I'm taking the chance to find the real me
I'm letting you go one for three
I gotta do this alone though I'm scared to the bone
I'm not running away
I'm facing my fears
This time I gotta learn to dry my own tears
I'm doing it all for me
Without you, baby
All for me
Without you, baby
All for me
Without you, baby
All for me
