Hey Guys:
I've always loved songs that progress musically with more instruments added as you go, and more voices and key changes, etc. etc...This is one of those types of songs...it's about hope so it makes sense that as hope progresses it grows and expands...well if you like that kinda stuff you might like this one...if not...at least there's a pretty video that accompanies it...so, if you do...thanks for listening (and watching)...Dan

Hope...never let me down

Hi Firesong,

A wonderful classic song, dramatic and with full-fledged vocals (if that's how you call this?).
Very nice melody, with good lyrics, although not really my content.
I then have to think about those poor people in Ukrain; Will hope save them? In a way it can, but not in a god, I think...

Still I was impressed by your performace here. Very well done!
Hans

Beautiful, Dan. I love the build, and the video was perfect. The way the song develops is like a long highway that ever rises to the heavens in a very hopeful way. As always your excellent vocal is divine.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dan,

A good write. Has a late-70's Radio Ballad vibe. A Dianne Warren kind of melody...

Excellent vocals. Really nice production and mix.

Nice piano! (we seem to have very few piano players in the Showcase)

Well done.

Dan, this is absolutely fantastic

Great vocal and a very important message in those lyrics

Outstanding instrumentation and dynamics

You are an excellent pianist and vocalist

Loved it

Ooooh. Pretty, especially the chorus. Your vocal is gorgeous, as usual.

Love the arrangement - key changes are cool, getting bigger each time.

Very nice! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
