John Hiatt’s “Have A Little Faith In Me” Performance Is The Best Way To Start Your Day

Just A Little Bit Of Faith….

From 1987 album Bring The Family, John Hiatt’s “Have A Little Faith In Me” has gone down as one of the all-time greatest love songs ever written. Performing his hit in ’87, John softly serenades the crowd with this classic and it will make your heart melt…

“When the road gets dark and you can no longer see, just let my love throw a spark and have a little faith in me…”

Written after struggling from a slight drug addiction, “Have A Little Faith In Me” meant a lot to John’s sobriety and journey after losing his wife to suicide and his music label. The lyrics are true, pure and raw and you can really tell that he feels every word he sings in this stunning live performance.

Interesting Fact: The original attempt at recording the song took place at a friend’s studio and included a larger instrument accompaniment however the recording was plagued by technical issues. The morning after, Hiatt was informed that his estranged wife had committed suicide. Hiatt attributes the technical problems with the original recording as a sign that the song was not meant to be heard that way and he eventually released the song much more simply with a piano accompaniment.

John allows us to experience the pain and agony he was feeling when he recorded the song and it is the most intimate performance we have ever seen; the perfect way to put your Saturday in perspective… We have always loved this song, but now knowing the meaning behind the legendary lyrics makes it so much more touching than we could have ever imagined. Enjoy..
