“Don’t Believe the World“ by Return Of The Human

“Don’t Believe the World” by Return Of The Human is a beautiful and uplifting piano ballad that explores the dichotomy between dreams and reality. Return Of The Human crafts a compelling narrative, backed by a lovely piano performance from Rick Wakeman. The simple, yet impactful arrangement speaks directly to your soul, encouraging you to stand firm with your beliefs and your desires, even if it feels like the world is against you.

Pretty, dancing piano ripples and weaves its way through the track, providing an intimate setting for the lyrics to shine. The emotional vocal performance is warm and gripping, hitting you hard with every thoughtful lyric. Return Of The Human acknowledges the confusion of life and how it feels like the world’s chaos can pull you in different directions, making you feel untethered to a comfortable reality you’re passionate about. But, with lines like “when the whole damn world is turned upside down, I keep both feet on the ground,” this track offers an inspiring perspective that works to keep you grounded. 

Meandering melodies mirror the feeling of wandering through life, but soft vocals and inviting piano offer a place to land and relax. In the hope-filled choruses, the piano begins to play more rapidly and brightly as the wise words appear, offering a heightened joy that looks ahead to a better future. A particularly poignant line in the song is “I know no resistance, smooth is the course.” It can be difficult to just allow life to happen, but accepting what you have and working towards what you want is the best way to be at peace with the world.
