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

Before I learnt only love is real
It's funny how I used to be
Before I learnt to live my life authentically
It's funny what I used to say
Before I learnt everything is Okay
Think this moment is
Think this moment is
Now with love in my mind
Small things fall away
Must've been colour-blind
I thought the sky was grey but it's blue today
Cos everything's alright tonight that's right
Everything's ok today hurray
We're gonna be alright tonight so let's get together and celebrate
Everything's peachy with me you'll see
Life can be how you want it to be
When you wake up and really open your eyes realise love is all you see
It's lovely how you led the way
Before I learnt this is my journey
And it's lovely how you'd help me out
Before I learnt to do things for myself
It's funny what I use to hear
Before I learnt you are just for loving dear
Think this moment is
Think this moment is
Meant to be anything but this
Now with love in my mind
Small things fall away
Must've been colour-blind
I thought the sky was grey but it's blue today
Cos everything's alright tonight that's right
Everything's ok today hurray
We're gonna be alright tonight so let's get together and celebrate
Everything's peachy with me you'll see
Life can be how you want it to be
When you wake up and really open your eyes realise love is all you see
I know that I am are wonderful
I know that you are wonderful
Now with love in my mind
Small things fall away

Everything's ok today hurray
We're gonna be alright tonight so let's get together and celebrate
Everything's peachy with me you'll see
Life can be how you want it to be
When you wake up and really open your eyes realise love is all you see
Love is all you need
In reality
To love you like me
And then we'll see

I'm amazed You died for me
I am astounded that you gave up your life for me.
War and pain took over my heart
My heart was filled with turmoil and distress.
The first time I heard of you
I just walked away
When I originally learned about you, I ignored you.
Still here You are
You stayed and waited
'Til my heart found You
Despite my initial rejection, you remained and waited for me to turn to you.
Your Love is More
More than I can ever behold
More than I can imagine
In You I found Grace
In You I found More
I release all of my fears
To embrace and hold
The More in Your Love
Your love exceeds anything I could possibly comprehend, and it is in your love that I found grace and comfort. I let go of all of my fears to immerse myself in the vastness of your love.
So much joy fills my heart
My heart is now overflowing with happiness.
Once again, I heard of you
And just turned away
Even after being exposed to you again, I refused to accept you.
You watched in patience
'til my heart found You
You remained patient as I eventually found my way back to you.
I'm called by your name
Changed for good
Called by your name
Redeemed for good
My hope is in you
I am now identified by your name and changed for the better. Your redemption is permanent and my hope is entirely in you.
