Their pop sound is still there and it sounds catchy and energetic but the songs are much more diverse and more successful than before.
Who listens to the single Follow, hears that it has the potential to become an international hit. This is a song standing on its own, but it still sounds like home. You want to listen to it over and over again. You can say that every MakeBelieve song has this power. They try to find a place inside your head and try to stay there as long as possible. It sounds big, warm and gives you hope. Everything sounds a bit more electronic than before. What is not a total suprise because they worked this time with producers who wrote songs for artist like: Adele, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry and Manic Street Preachers.
In a matter of time they achieved something that many bands dream of. Joey Dussel: Of course we are proud of what we achieved, but when I listen to the music we make those days. It sounds way better now and you can’t compare it with our music back then. There were times that they really started to miss the crowd but still thought that the songs weren’t ready yet. In those times they stayed strong and people who are listening to the international and good quality music of MakeBelieve understand why it was a good idea to continue to work on the songs. This band has the potential to become huge. It’s Just a Matter of Time....

Makebelieve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still feels you're here
Picture's clear inside my mind
Won't give me air
I think about you all the time
Promise to be by your side
When I'm home, yeah.
Still feels so wrong
I'm scared to face another day
Will our love be gone?
Other cities, different lifes
Is our love so strong, will we survive,
When I'm home, yeah.
Take me home,
somewhere we can be alone.
It's been so long
Take me back where I belong,
Any other place would feel so wrong
Take me home.
A thousand miles away from you,
I know that's hard
When we look upon the sky tonight
We see the same stars
I won't change the way I feel
I always knew our love was real
Take me home, yeah.
Take me home,
somewhere we can be alone.
It's been so long
Take me back where I belong,
Any other place would feel so wrong
Take me home.
And I still believe
Wait for me
Wait for me
And I will be there
Cause you're in my heart.
A thousand miles away from you,
Still feels you're here
The picture's clear inside my mind
Won't give me air
I think about you all the time
Promise to be by your side
When I'm home, yeah.
Take me home,
somewhere we can be alone
It's been so long
Take me back where I belong
Any other place would feel so wrong
Take me home.
Take me home,
It's been so long
Take me back where I belong,
any other place would feel so wrong
Take me home.
The lyrics to Makebelieve's song Home describe the feeling of being a thousand miles away from someone you love and feeling like they're still with you. The singer's mind is filled with a clear picture of their loved one, but this only intensifies their longing to be together. The fear of their love fading away due to distance and separate lives is palpable, but the singer remains steadfast in their belief that their love is real and will survive. The chorus is a plea to be taken back to where they belong, to be together again and away from the distance that has separated them. The repeated refrain of "wait for me" and "I will be there" is a pledge from the singer that they will reunite with their loved one, no matter the distance.
The theme of distance and longing is a common one in romantic songs, but what sets Home apart is the way the lyrics are written. They're simple and straightforward, without any flowery language, but still manage to convey a strong sense of emotion. There's an authenticity in the way the feelings are expressed that makes the song more relatable and touching. The repetition of the chorus also ends up creating a sense of urgency and desperation, as the singer can't wait to be reunited with their loved one.
