The music writing for this song was initially written by Shaun and influenced to some extent by The Cure and The Chameleons. But while it started out with those influences, each participant added their own, and an 'Indie Pop' song came into being!
Danilo Lovino (Mestre, Venice. Italy) did the percussion drumming on the track, constructing some very intricate percussion lines that are perfect for the song.
Robb Lacey (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) added his interpretation on the bass, substantially improving on the midi-bass that was used in early versions of the song.
Robert Scott Strickland (Thomasville, Georgia, USA) wrote the lyrics, about love and relationships sometimes happening unexpectedly, so they can be "Hard to Believe", or maybe 'destiny'.
Sela Performs (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) took Robert's lyrics and added a great vocal performance with some superb melodic and harmony vocal lines that really make the song.
Shaun Dugan (Brighton, East Sussex, England) developed the chord sequences and played the 6 string guitars and synths.
Hope you enjoy listening!

Lyrics by Robert S Strickland
Oh-Oh Oh x3
verse 1
I didnt expect it
You jumped out at me
Thought I was rejected
And then you came to be
Wasn't looking for affection
Used to being lonely Lonely
Chorus 1
Do you believe, anything can happen?
I can see you looking at me
Do you believe, anything can happen?
I can see you looking at me
Verse 2
What are the chances
Walking down the street?
That's where romance is
Hard to believe
Hard hard to believe
Hard hard to believe
Chorus 2
Do you believe anything can happen?
I can see you looking at me
Do you believe anything can happen?
I can see you looking at me
Oh Oh oh x 4
Verse 3
What are the chances
Walking down the street?
Thats where romance is
Hard to believe
Hard to believe
Destiny Desti- Destiny
Chorus 3
Do you believe anything can happen?
I can see you looking at me
Do you believe anything can happen?
I can see you looking at me
