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.

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.

Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel a little foolish
Like I'm wasting all this time
Cause I'm looking for a moment
Just to say what's on my mind
I hate to say I'm hurting
Cause I'm not one to complain
And I don't know what to say
Chorus 1:
But maybe I'll wake up tomorrow
Close all the windows and finally step out of the door
And I'll write a new song
I'll get to tell them the things that I couldn't before
And I won't be scared anymore
Verse 2:
I don't think that I'm hopeless
But I'd be lying to myself
Cause I know how much I need it
But I keep it on the shelf
Chorus 2:
But maybe I'll wake up tomorrow
Close all the windows and finally step out of the door
And I'll write a new song
I'll get to tell them the things that I couldn't before
But I don't know how
I'll find a way cause I think it's getting pretty late
So maybe some day I'll see it through
But for now that all might have to wait
Til I wake up tomorrow
Chorus 3:
maybe I'll wake up tomorrow
Close all the windows and finally step out of the door
And I'll write a new song
I'll get to tell them the things that I couldn't before
But I don't know how
I'll find a way cause I think it's getting pretty late
So maybe some day I'll see it through
But for now that all might have to wait

Line by Line Meaning
I feel a little foolish
I feel a bit silly or embarrassed
Like I'm wasting all this time
Feeling like my efforts and time are being wasted
Cause I'm looking for a moment
Because I am searching for an opportunity
Just to say what's on my mind
Simply to express my thoughts and feelings
I hate to say I'm hurting
I don't like admitting that I am in pain
Cause I'm not one to complain
Because I usually don't express my grievances
But I get a little nervous
However, I become slightly anxious
And I don't know what to say
And I don't have the words to communicate
But maybe I'll wake up tomorrow
Perhaps tomorrow when I wake up
Close all the windows and finally step out of the door
I will finally gather my courage and face the world
And I'll write a new song
I will find inspiration to create something new
I'll get to tell them the things that I couldn't before
I will have the opportunity to express what I couldn't previously
And I won't be scared anymore
And I will no longer be afraid
I don't think that I'm hopeless
I don't believe that I lack hope
But I'd be lying to myself
But I would be deceiving myself
Cause I know how much I need it
Because I am aware of how much I need it
But I keep it on the shelf
But I keep it aside, not actively pursuing it
But I don't know how
However, I am unsure of the method to achieve it
I'll find a way cause I think it's getting pretty late
I will figure it out because time is running out
So maybe some day I'll see it through
So perhaps one day I will follow it to completion
But for now that all might have to wait
But for now, I may have to postpone those aspirations
