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.

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.

Lonely Highway
Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't wanna carry anybody else's cross
Nobody told me what the future holds
Guess I better get on the road
(hook)
Flying down this lonely highway
With my dreams in the fast lane
Will this dream I have become reality?
Nobody told me it would be this hard
To make my dreams come true
I know believing is half the fact
The rest is up to you
Could it be that I'm the only one
Who chose this way before
Follow your own heart they say
But am I making the right choice
(hook)
Flying down this lonely highway
With my dreams in the fast lane
Will it ever come to be
Will this dream I have become reality?
(chorus)
Oh just believe(x4) you can be(x3) anything(x3) oh
Oh just believe(x4) you can be(x4) anything(x3) oh
You can be anything you want to be(x2) just believe
You can be anything you want to be(x2) just believe
You can be anything you want to be(x2) just believe
You can be anything you want to be(x2) just believe
(hook)
Flying down this lonely highway
With my dreams in the fast lane
Will it ever come to be
Will this dream I have become reality?
ah hah ah hah yeah ah hah
I know it's hard sometimes
You're at the end of the line
Don't know what to do
Just believe
I know it's hard some days
When you think you're through
And your heart is cold
Just believe
(chorus)
Oh just believe(x4) you can be(x3) anything(x3) oh
You can be anything you want to be(x2) just believe
You can be anything you want to be(x2) just believe

During moments when you believe you have reached the end
And your heart is cold
When your emotions and desires are numb or distant
