Smash Mouth is an alternative rock band from San Jose, California that formed in 1994, the band comprises Steve Harwell (lead vocalist), Greg Camp (guitarist/songwriter), Paul De Lisle (bassist), and new drummer since early 2006, Jason Sutter (replacing Michael Urbano, who left due to creative differences). Their hit songs include "Walkin' on the Sun" (1997) and "All Star" (1999). Focused at times playing "neo-ska" music, the band has adopted retro styles spanning several decades of popular music, as well as performing covers of popular songs such as The Monkees' "I'm a Believer" and War's "Why Can't We Be Friends" as well as cult favorites such as ? and the Mysterians' "Can't Get Enough of You Baby" (though their version owes more to The Colourfield's interpretation; in fact, the band at first believed it was a Colourfield original). Smash Mouth's first album Fush Yu Mangcame out in June 1997. This album could be said to be "neo ska".

I’m A Believer Lyrics

Smash Mouth

Written by neil diamond
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
Thats the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
Then I saw her face
Now Im a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
Im in love
Im a believer
I couldnt leave her if I tried
I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave, the less I got
Whats the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine, I got rain
Then I saw her face
Now Im a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
Im in love
Im a believer
I couldnt leave her if I tried
