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.

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 βBring down the Starsβ 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"

My Greatest Memory
Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I found a road back to remind me of you
The world keeps turning over
Wish I could have you closer
Of every moment lived so far
This is my greatest memory
You by my side
And if a tried
This can't be a crime
At least I can hold you in my mind
Looking out my hotel window
I see cars racing by
Everybody's going somewhere,
I wish you'd appear tonight
Someone send me an angel
I saw him in the light
Twelve days lost to dreaming
Before you came to light
This is my greatest memory
You by my side
And I can picture you here with me
And if a tried
This can't be a crime
At least I can hold you in my mind
The world keeps turning over
Wish I could have you closer
Of every moment lived so far
This is my greatest memory
Now your standing here with me
This is my greatest memory
You by my side
This cant be a crime
These are the best days of my life
The lyrics for Hope's song, "My Greatest Memory," seem to be about a person who cherishes memories with a loved one, and is struggling to deal with their absence. The first verse talks about how the day the singer is experiencing is the best one they've had so far because they found a road that reminds them of the person they miss. Despite the world continuing to turn and change around them, the singer still wishes that this person could be closer to them. The chorus brings together the message of the whole song, describing how the singer's greatest memory is of being with their loved one, and even though they are not physically present, they can still picture them in their mind. The second verse contrasts the hectic world outside the singer's hotel window with the idea of an angel appearing to provide comfort. The final repetition of the chorus, with the added line "Now your standing here with me," hints at the idea that the singer might have been reunited with their loved one in some way.
More generally, these lyrics convey a bittersweet feeling of nostalgia, where the memory of the past is beautiful but the present continues to be challenging. The song's themes are relatable to anyone who has lost someone close to them, but still finds comfort in memories of happier times.
