Hart became an instant hit with his rebellious looks, and his first album released in 1983 First Offense, featuring the hit song Sunglasses at Night. The album sold well in both Canada and the United States. The follow-up album was Boy in the Box in 1985, another very successful album featuring the song Never Surrender, which would be his highest-charting single. Hart would continue to record music, but his commercial success was significantly reduced after Box.
Today, Hart lives in the Bahamas with his wife, musician Julie Masse, and their four children.
BELIEVING
Corey Hart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Compromise again
Do you believe in fate can you can you follow
Where she leads
I never thought I'd find myself in better days
Don't give us up , o baby
See the sunlight in your hair caressing, touching over me
The gift you give so naturally
I will live these precious words
Simply by believing
Do you remember seeing the silhouette
Of Istanbul's blue mosque
Engraving our names together on the white hot sand
We found from the black sea
Hey beneath the cypress trees
You made sweet love with me
Don't give us up, o baby, see you dancing in the sun
Music played on the radio
Don't let us down, o baby, I just can't stand losing you
It's getting harder everyday
But I'll get through these troubled times
Simply by believing
All my fears, all your faith in me all your tears will
Fade away
O god, the great dividing walls come crumbling down
My love, the fields of innocence remember you
Don't give us up, o baby
See the sunlight in your hair caressing, touching over me
Don't let us down, o baby, you're the reason I'm still here
The gift you give so naturally
I will live these precious words
Simply by believing
I will live and die for you
Believing
Corey Hart's song "Believing" seems to be an ode to true love and the power of belief. The song opens with a series of questions that ask whether the listener believes in the power of truth, fate, and following one's heart. The lyrics then turn towards a memory of a romantic moment in Istanbul with a former lover, and the song's speaker seems to be urging their partner not to give up on their relationship. The song's chorus repeats the phrase, "Simply by believing," suggesting that belief is a powerful tool that can help people overcome life's struggles and stay true to their convictions.
The lyrics of "Believing" are particularly powerful because they seem to be autobiographical, drawn from Corey Hart's own experiences. For example, the lines about Istanbul may be references to a trip Hart took to Turkey with his then-girlfriend, Julie Masse. The image of Istanbul's blue mosque and the cypress trees are strikingly vivid, adding to the song's romantic and dreamlike quality.
Overall, "Believing" is a beautiful song that celebrates the power of love and belief. Its nostalgic storytelling and soaring vocal melody make it a classic from Corey Hart's oeuvre.
