1) In 1992, an artist by name of Hope whose real name is David Hope appeared with a song called "Generations" with a follow up song in 1993 called "Tree Frog". Remixed by Hot Tracks in 1994 and appears Roadkill! 1.09 (1994) and Hot Tracks 15th Anniversary Edition 17 CD Set.
2) English pop group, formed in 1988 after The Visitors split up. Arguably more successful as they apart from releasing a flexi also cut a vinyl 7" for the now legendary German label A Turntable Friend. That single, called "Funny", came out in 1992.
3) The Los Angeles-based vocalist Hope song-cries with a humble, quiet-fire lucidity-- as autumnal as apple juice but as clear as the rain. Her voice, breathy and bittersweet, occasionally cracks Crow-esque, but is ultimately distinguished by an earthier, spiritual sheen that comes feathered in two shades of pain and survivor-guilt soulfulness. Any skepticism concerning Hope's sonic sorcery is purged once you lean into her sound's religion and let the lullabies wash over you like a promise. "The Rain Don't Last", Hope's new single, does just that. Insightful lyrics loom like some silent peninsula, over minimalist, acoustic-soul strumming. The mood here, while at first melancholic, soon shifts to... well...hopeful, as the recent Atlantic signee reminds us that while the sun may not always shine, it's best to just "let it go." Granted, the whole "chin up" theme has been touched before-- it's practically legal tender. Hope, however, manages to take the cliche and, in her breezy alto, make it sound like the blissful riddle to someone's math-encrypted void. Peace and piety seem only a mother's kiss away. [Will Dukes] A clear voice, a pure new sound, a petite musical messiahNo other name could be more fitting for the beautiful lady who has become something of a legend for music lovers everywhere. Whether its her gentle melodies that merge rock and soul, or sultry vocals over her acoustic guitar, her incomparable soothing voice says it all. Hope is like a breath of fresh air in step with the rhythms of life. Her harmony is so pure and her voice so sweet that it melts your soul. Hope is clearly a musical genius. When you hear her, expect musical boundaries to disappear. Her Debut CD -- Hope -- is soul-baring storytelling set to music at its best. Each song is a delicately crafted blend of lyrical imagery, sultry rhythms, pure vocals, and universal truths. As one of her adoring fans says: Hope is the searing voice of the collective imagination.Her subtle strength is her ability to capture the human experience and translate it into song.

4) A British girl group created by ITV1 talent show The X Factor in 2007. The group, consist of Charlie Mole , Emily Biggs, Leah Lauder, Phoebe Brown and Raquelle Gracie. They originally auditioned for The X Factor as soloists but failed to make it past bootcamp. Louis Walsh thought the girls would be good as a group thus Hope were greated. They were mentored by Simon Cowell on the show and came 5th place overall.
Since The X Factor Hope have signed a management deal with Solo Management, and have been performing at gigs all over the UK supporting Westlife and Boyzone on tour and also made an appearance on the Isle of Wight Festival 2008!
5) Hope are an exciting new Swedish band with members who have a strong pedigree in the rock music industry, and lead vocalist Henrik Thomsen has kept his best songs till now! Thomsen is the principal songwriter of the band and he certainly knows how to pen a song with plenty of melody. The structure is what you would expect from a Swedish rock band with a background such as theirs, and the sound just flows effortlessly. Strangely, in places they have a leaning towards early Bryan Adams (Reckless period) which is no bad thing and the addition of respected musician Jim Jidhead (solo, Alien) in the songwriting department especially makes “Bring down the Stars” a song to remember.
6) Canadian Punk Rock band under the name Hope.
7) A band from Lacrosse, Wisconsin that was active from 1970-1972. The line-up consisted of Jeff Cozy on vocals, drums and percussion, James Croegaert on vocals and keyboards, Wayne McKibbin on vocals and guitar, Boyd Sibley on vocals and keyboards and finally David Slug on vocals and bass. They released a 7" single titled "Greenhouse / Of Times You Can See"
8) Japanese grindcore. Active between late 90's to 2003(?). Released a 7" split with fellow Jap grinders Cunt 'N Bananaaz and a split tape with a band called "Gore" and some songs on various compilations

I'm Not Home
Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems I’ve come down with a case of existential dread,
And I’ve tried meditation; medication; therapy,
But all this modern medicine’s just not working for me,
I ask myself every day,
Is how I’m feeling a sign of the times,
Or mental instability,
And I know,
There’s a million ways to treat the symptoms,
Why won’t you,
Examine the cause?
Cause living,
Underneath a sky that’s always falling’s,
Got me thinking I’m not sick,
I’m just sick of it,
Doctor can’t you check my heart,
Cause every time I watch the news I swear it falls apart,
So I just put my phone away,
Watch office re-runs on replay,
Maybe I need a self-care day,
But I’ve got fucking bills to pay,
And I know,
There’s a million ways to treat the symptoms,
Why won’t you,
Examine the cause?
Cause living,
Underneath a sky that’s always falling’s,
Got me thinking I’m not sick,
I’m just sick of it,
Am I depressed if I know the only reason that I’m sad,
Is I’ll never get to live the life I know my parents had?
Am I anxious if I tell you that what occupies my mind,
Is the fires that burn our forests down or rising global tides?
Am I paranoid for saying shady hands are pulling strings,
When the wealthy order coups from offshore pedophile rings?
Can you reach a diagnosis? can you sell me your quick fix?
When you already know I’m not sick,
I’m just sick of it?
Yeah cause we’re all on the brink,
This ship’s about to sink,
Maybe this is not normal,
Maybe it’s time to think,
Could there be a better way,
Can we learn from yesterday,
Or are we doomed to die,
Buried in mistakes we didn’t make?
And how dare you think that you can fix me,
When what’s fucked up is reality?
And I know,
There’s a million ways to treat the symptoms,
Why won’t you,
Examine the cause?
Cause living,
Underneath a sky that’s always falling’s,
Got me thinking I’m not sick,
And I know; yeah I know,
Just how to treat the symptoms,
But you know that it won’t,
Make any fucking difference,
Cause living underneath a sky that’s always falling,
Has me thinking I’m not sick,
I’m just sick of it
The song "I'm Not Home" by Hope explores the feelings of existential dread, frustration, and disillusionment with the state of the world. The singer is seeking help from a doctor to understand their emotional state and mental well-being, but they find that conventional methods such as medication, therapy, and meditation do not alleviate their distress. This could symbolize the inability of modern medicine to address the deeper underlying issues causing their existential crisis.
The lyrics highlight the singer's daily struggle to decipher whether their emotions are a reflection of the times we live in or indications of mental instability. They question whether their sadness is a result of not being able to achieve the life and happiness their parents had, or if their anxiety stems from environmental concerns like the destruction of forests and the rise of global warming. These introspective questions imply a longing for a deeper understanding of their emotions and the world around them.
The song suggests a frustration with society's focus on treating symptoms rather than examining the root causes. The singer longs for the doctor to dig deeper and uncover the underlying issues. They express their weariness of living in a world where it feels like the sky is constantly falling, and it seems that medication can only offer temporary relief rather than address the systemic problems at hand.
The lyrics also touch upon the singer's questioning of the status quo and society's acceptance of it. They express skepticism towards powerful entities manipulating events and highlight concerns about corruption, coups, and hidden agendas. This demonstrates their disillusionment with the world and a desire for the truth to be exposed.
In the final part of the song, the singer reflects on the collective state of humanity. They suggest that we might be on the brink of a disaster, using the metaphor of a sinking ship. They contemplate the need for introspection and learning from past mistakes to create a better future. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency, emphasizing the need to address the deeper causes of societal issues instead of merely treating surface-level symptoms.
Overall, "I'm Not Home" explores themes of existential dread, frustration, disillusionment, and a longing for a better world. It criticizes the reliance on superficial treatments and emphasizes the necessity of examining root causes to bring about meaningful change. The lyrics invite reflection on personal emotions as well as the larger societal and environmental concerns affecting us all.

@Adam AN. SHR. Yeah the only one that's technically got the biology of an Old Man because he got screwed by a Demon inside a Belt. Imagine that conversation with Peter.
"So you're a Member of the Spider-Verse huh? Suit looks cool but how did you get your powers?"
"I joined a Taskforce to protect the world from Demons, found out about a massive conspiracy where my Mentor was replaced by one and then found out the Belt I put on to transform was slowly killing me. By the time I stopped though I got launched off a cliff by a guy who stole it, went back to the country side home of my Mom and faked Amnesia. Only to regain my fighting spirit and end up using this thing again. What about you?"
"... Uhh, I got bit by a Radioactive Spider?"
Hiromi and Peter could probably become really good friends just based on their experiences with Symbiotic and Demonic Bullshit at this point.

I love how he assumes he might be being insensitive, but it's not like they mentioned seeing a bunch of spiderman all from different and unique countries.
he said he saw a bunch specifically from Japan, which is actually anomalous in context.
