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"

Still
Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just want to be dead for a while
A hibernation I suppose
Just a chance to rest my goddamn mind
Everyone that I've ever known has gone down the rabbit hole
Left me in my best suit
I wish I was drunk right now so I could see the stars
You are all that I have left when I'm still sober
Still sober
I wish I was drunk right now so I could see the stars
You are all that I have left when I'm still sober
I wish I was drunk right now so I could see the stars
You are all that I have left when I'm still sober
Still sober
Still sober
The lyrics to Hope's song Still is about the intense mental and emotional exhaustion one feels from dealing with the weight of loss, grief, and heartbreak. The opening line, "I don't want to die, I just want to be dead for a while," is a metaphor for the need to escape from the pain without actually dying. The song speaks to the urge to withdraw from the world for a while and to rest one's troubled mind - to take a break from the everyday stresses of life. Here, the artist is hinting that he/she has been going through a lot and is more than ready for a break.
The following line, "A hibernation, I suppose," compares the desire to take a break to the way animals hibernate during winter. The artist wants to achieve a state where he/she is completely shut off from the problems and difficulties of life. However, the artist also acknowledges that problems do not go away by themselves - "Everyone that I've ever known has gone down the rabbit hole, left me in my best suit." Through this line, the artist is reminding the listeners that life goes on, and it's important to catch up with it sooner or later.
The lines "I wish I was drunk right now so I could see the stars/You are all that I have left when I'm still sober" express a deep sense of loss and disillusionment. The artist desperately wants to feel something other than pain, and drunkenness offers a temporary reprieve. The way the chorus repeats itself with the same sense of longing and despair – "Still sober" – shows the continued struggle of the artist to address their pain and wounds.
Overall, Still is a deeply poignant song that mirrors the emotional turmoil that the artist, and many people, go through. The song is an excellent piece of work meant to offer solace and a listening ear to those going through a tough time.

@Typenice
Amen Delvan! God has it won already! I pray that you allow the alcohol to be crucified at the cross where Jesus already won the battle so it will remain removed forever! I also pray He continues to show His heart to you so you can continue to surrender every scar and hurt habit and hangup. "The only scars in Heaven are on the hands of the one who holds you now" we are pure in His heart and eyes ! Praise God
