Here on last.fm, the artist TCM is an alias for The Crystal Method. However, there are also tracks as TCM which are not by The Crystal Method, but by the project TCM which stands for Thimbles, Cowboy & Mr. Ladies. This was a project that created intro's, outro's and interludes for the Dutch Turn Up The Bass House Party compilation CD series. See discogs
There Is Hope
The Crystal Method Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let us not forget
There is hope
There's hope!
And I say this to the night
Let us not forget
Their is hope
The Crystal Method's song "There Is Hope" is a powerful anthem that inspires hope and optimism in the face of adversity. The lyrics convey the message that no matter how dark and difficult the situation may seem, there is always a glimmer of hope that we can hold onto. The line "And I say this to the night, let us not forget, there is hope" is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the importance of remembering that even in the darkest of times, there is always a reason to believe that things will get better.
The use of the word "night" in the opening line of the song is significant because it suggests a sense of darkness or despair. By addressing the night directly, the lyrics convey a sense of urgency and importance - this is a message that needs to be heard and taken to heart. The repetition of the phrase "there is hope" further emphasizes the importance of this message and encourages listeners to believe in a brighter future.

As we approach the end of 2021, this video has over 1,367,000 views. This song was in the opening scene of Replacement Killers (great movie), and the opening credits of Third Watch (the TV series). After all these years, it still rocks.
@DeadPixel1105
I'm eternally grateful to Replacement Killers for introducing me to The Crystal Method. I first saw the film back when it released in 1998 and I've been a fan of The Crystal Method ever since.
When that intro scene started and this song was playing, I was like, "Dude.... What is THIS?!? THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!"
