"I Believe (A Soulful Re-Recording)" is a single by the British band Tears for Fears. It was the band's eleventh single release (the fifth taken from their second LP "Songs from the Big Chair") and ninth UK Top 40 hit. The song also reached the Top 10 in Ireland.
The song was written by Roland Orzabal who had originally planned to offer it to British musician Robert Wyatt to record, though it was later decided that Tears for Fears would record the song themselves for their album "Songs from the Big Chair". Additionally, a cover of Robert Wyatt's "Sea Song" served as the single's B-side.
This is the first Tears for Fears release on which the band itself is listed as producer.
Although the single was not released in America, this re-recording of the song was done in the midst of the band's 1985 American tour.
The music video for the song, featuring a shirtless Orzabal (as seen on the single's picture sleeve), was filmed in an aircraft hangar in Seattle, Washington. It was again directed by Nigel Dick.
