about

An indie rock acoustic song that features collaborative musical elements from artists around the world including the violinist Joni Fuller that works with Stuart Epps’ musical producer, who produce Led Zeppelin, Oasis and more.

Setting the tone with a mournful minor key guitar, Shay lays his feelings bare in the songs opening verse, singing of laying in bed “trying to decide to live or die.” The pain in his voice is palpable, yet he never fully gives in to self pity. Instead, he is somehow inspirational as he fearlessly faces his demons. Accompanied by an accomplished cast of players including violinist Joni Fuller and famed Israeli musicians Yahel Doron and Eldad Zitrin, Shay attempts to free himself from society’s narrative of fairytale love.

Instead he follows the path of iconoclasts from Richard Ashcroft to Johnny Cash in seeking a more realistic understanding of love, rebelling against the false god that we are forced to praise from birth. It’s been a big year for Shay since being named to MTC News’ Artists To Watch 2020 – He’s seen youtube views for his previous single ‘Travel’ top 60k while being featured in prominent playlists around the world. His uncanny ability to tap into listener’s deepest emotions is clearly resonating with fans, and ‘I Don’t Believe In Love’ is the clearest example yet of this connection.

lyrics

The minutes go by so fast, I’m getting old
Now I'm lying here in my bed trying to decide to live or die
My dreams have shadows that shatters me to pieces
Now I know not to dream anymore
'Cause inside every dream lie disappointments
Thank you for teaching me not to dream anymore

I don't believe in love anymore
I don't believe in happy endings anymore
'Cause you took them away from me
'Cause you made me believe I could be happy like those imbecile fools

And I am lost without a sound
I can't make any noise
Because if I’ll be too loud I'll lose my soul
And I'm crying to the bone for you to please come home
And I'm crying to the bone for you to let me be your home

I don't believe in love anymore
I don't believe in happy endings anymore
'Cause you took them away from me
'Cause you made me believe I could be happy like those imbecile fools

I live everyday thinking what I did and what I've done
I still believe it could all turn to dust
And maybe, oh maybe there is hope for a better life,
Oh, maybe, oh maybe you could turn out to be my wife

I don't believe in love anymore
I don't believe in happy endings anymore
'Cause you took them away from me
'Cause you made me believe I could be happy like those imbecile fools

You turned my head and I turned my heart
I don't believe in love anymore
