I've always loved the quirkiness in the Mother series, especially the music, so I wanted to capture the same whimsical tone with the whistling and cowbells but also something alien as if the music comes from an old radio that picks up sounds that isn't from earth. Above all else I've been wanting to collaborate with Mairiba for quite some time and think that this song was the perfect choice to include his singing for. The idea for arranging Pollyanna, particularly the lyric version "I Believe in You" adapted by Catherine Warwick, came into light once I listened to songs like "Family of me" by Ben Folds or "Always Look on the Bright Side Of Life" by Eric Idle, and I changed the tempo of Pollyanna as well the overall structure based on said songs that helped shaping this cover into the whimsical whistler version you hear before you.
lyrics
I believe the morning sun
Always gonna shine again and
I believe a pot of gold
Waits at every rainbow's end, and
I believe in roses kissed with dew
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
I believe in make believe
Fairy tales and lucky charms and
I believe in promises
Spoken as you cross your heart, oh
I believe in skies forever blue
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
You may say I'm a fool
Feelin' the way that I do
You can call me Pollyanna
Say I'm crazy as a loon
I believe in silver linings
And that's why I believe in you
I believe there'll come a day
Maybe it will be tomorrow
When the blue bird flies away
All we have to do is follow
I believe a dream can still come true
Why shouldn't I believe the same in you?
You may say I'm a fool
Feelin' the way that I do
I believe in friends and laughter
And the wonders love can do
I believe in songs and magic
And that's why I believe in you
You may say I'm a fool
Feelin' this way about you
There's not much I can do
I'm gonna be this way my life through
'Cause I still believe in miracles
I swear I've seen a few
And the time will surely come
When you can see my point of view
You can call me Pollyanna
Say I'm crazy as a loon
I believe in second chances
And that's why I believe in you
