We’ve always loved Imagine Dragons. They’ve taken over the pop industry with their catchy hooks and hard-hitting songs. When we first heard Believer, we thought, “Whoa, this song is killer!” We were hesitant to arrange it right away due to the fact that we already have a cover of an Imagine Dragons song, and we didn’t want it to seem like they are the only band we cover. But our fans kept saying to us that we needed to do Believer, so we finally took everyone's advice and arranged the song! It was a fun song to record because of the acoustic and electric elements we incorporated simultaneously. All the buzzes and distortions were really crucial to making this song hit as hard it needs to. It was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to make those sounds on our electric instruments!
Special thanks to Gordon Stevenson and St. Mary's Basilica in Phoenix, Arizona for letting us film in your beautiful chapel! You guys rock! (saintmarysbasi...)

LYRICS
First things first
I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh
The way that things have been, oh ooh
Second thing second
Don't you tell me what you think that I can be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh ooh
The master of my sea, oh ooh
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Write down my poems for the few
That looked at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh ooh
Your spirit up above, oh ooh
I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh
The blood in my veins, oh ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
(Pain, pain)
You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer
(Pain)
I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from
(Pain)
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

I'm a middle school cellist and I knew cello was beautiful, but this is a whole new level! And I love how each instrument gets a part to play by themselves. The Cellos and especially bass don't usually get that type of opportunity.

[@bellajuly6764]

I never comment on youtube, but I have to let you know just how much I love this! I was searching for an instrumental piece for an university assignment and I had a list of possible song choices, then the minute I heard this piece, I knew I had found "the one". I must have listened to your piece of art over a hundred times now and I am not sick of it at all. Thank you for creating the most beautiful piece of music that I have come across to date.

[@strugglingcollegestudent]

This is a true masterpiece. I hope Imagine Dragons hears it. I've never heard any music this beautiful in my life. It just moves through me. I can't help but close my eyes and sway

[@ataldajulia6144]

[@LeviPaper]

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!! Now my family will playing this song on repeat forever. Thank you guys so much.😁

[@MattyIce42293]

This is my favorite cover of all of the covers y'all did, I think you guys are easily a unique and super talented group of musicians and I've been watching, listening to y'alls music for a good while. I've been playing 4 string bass since I was 13 now I'm 31, I'm one of the 2 co-founders next to our drummer and we are a Black Symphonic Metal band of 17 years from McClure and Decatur Pennsylvania USA 🇺🇸 You guys are absolutely phenomenal I love the looks of the sheer passion you have on your faces as you play, I can't stress enough how good you are. I wish you three the very best and more guaranteed success to come, keep doin what you do guys. 🎻🎻🎸

[@casey5814]

Just now discovering you all, and I love this! I love all of you, but the guy on the cello consistently kills it. He is the best! The expressiveness and passion is amazing, and the joy is contagious! I am now a huge fan!

[@onlrjr]

What a beautiful church !! You guys are extraordinary ! I get goosebumps listening to you, this one is my absolute favourite ! Thank you

[@Vivi-iu3kn]

One day I had downloaded this violin version of believer instead of the original one ....after hearing the violin version I felt it more better than the original and I preserved it in my phone but never thought about knowing who played the violin cover ... Suddenly , day before yesterday ...you tube notified me of *Simple Three* ....hence, I believe I'm glad I found you awesome geniuses ...💞

[@ambermoreno-padilla7144]

I like how each instrument gets a solo, especially bass they usually don't get many.

[@Trollificusv2]

Nikolas is in a class with Edgar Meyer, and I don't say that lightly. Would love to see a bass duet with them, if they're looking for something unique-Dueling Basses! Could be great.

[@neutralmilkieshotel2675]

i play the bass for a school band, and the majority of the time, we don’t even have our own part in the music (usually it’s trombone or bassoon parts).

hello my dear cellists. I am very happy to know your beautiful work, my name is Anna Júlia, I live in Brazil and I am 15 years old and it was always my dream to learn how to play this noble instrument but I never had the opportunity because I am poor and I do not have conditions. But this year the mayor of my city managed to put the violoncello course in the theater, I am enrolled but I use the cello borrowed from the teacher because my mother can not buy one for me. Anyway, I hope this wonderful group reads my comment, I am very much your fan, congratulations for the gift! success❤❤
