  • (1888PressRelease) May 23, 2020 - Make Believe Friends will be releasing their new single “Act of Love” on May 22, 2020. Mindy Milburn (lead singer) & Laura Espinoza (guitarist/songwriter) are the core members of Make Believe Friends (and also Lunden Reign), an all original alt rock band based out of West Hills, California.

    About “Act of Love”:

    From Mindy:
    The lyrics are referring to any challenge one may face in life, and the resilience of the human spirit to overcome it, even when we may not believe it is possible. “It's the strength to rise above, all it takes is an act of love.” It's about trusting your instinct and staying focused on your path, knowing everything will work out in the end, exactly as it's supposed to be. It's also about how remaining undeterred, open to change and growth, and compassionate towards others during such an uncertain time helps us to get through it, and getting through it together makes us all stronger. “It's a whispered prayer, a selfless dare, it's everywhere.”

    From Laura:
    We wanted to write an uplifting song and something that speaks about the human spirit in a time of crisis. How people rise to the occasion to help others, even at their own peril. This is an Act of Love.

    “Act of Love”

    If I didn't know better
    I'd think this was a dream
    So hard to believe
    Everything we once knew has changed
    and it may never be the same

    One thing I know that's real
    An iron will, a heart of steel
    It's the strength to rise above
    All it takes is an act of love
    An act of love

    It's a whispered prayer
    A selfless dare
    It's everywhere

    Seems to be happening so fast
    Pulls like a current,
    It's not meant to last
    Just a test of our hearts and minds
    To see what we’re really made of inside

    Right before our eyes
    The seasons change
    The clock unwinds
    It’s the strength to rise above
    All it takes is an act of love

    The darkest caves hide beauty & truth
    Ride the waves that carry you
    Know each day the sun breaks through
    To illuminate a new point of view

    When pushed over the line
    Make the most of
    The space that confines
    We really don't need too much
    What will you do with all this time?

    'Cause right, before our eyes
    The seasons change
    The clock unwinds
    It's the strength to rise above
    All it takes is an act of love
    It's the strength to rise above
    All it takes is an act of love
    An act of love
    It's a whispered prayer
    A selfless dare
    It's everywhere
    It’s everywhere
