A preview for the forthcoming concept album Love In The Time Of Bieber, which was written on the same topic as my dissertation - the complex relationship between pop musicians and their fans, with a particular focus on that of Justin Bieber.

lyrics

You're the only true belieber in Eleanor Illinois
Your friends took down their posters; started dating local boys
But for you there'll be no substitute, no mechanic with tattoed sleeves
Eleanor, it's so hard to beliebe

You first heard him in 2010, when Baby was a hit
Then Never Say Never came out, featuring Jayden Smith
You wish he was your Boyfriend, when you think of him, U Smile
Eleanor, it's really been a while

Your friends see you around sometimes, they ask you where you're been
You look them straight in the eye and ask What Do You Mean?
You've been home with your posters, what a tangled web you weave
Eleanor, it's so hard to beliebe.
