about

In the dark and difficult times it is hard to see beauty, hope and love. It takes courage not to become cynical and bitter and turn to aggression and defensive behaviour, but to stay looking forward and open to people.

lyrics

When love meets hope
They say it’s easy things they will be fine.
But they don't know what it is to hold that line.
Sometimes I doubt over all what has passed.
And if we still deserve the time that is left.
When love meets hope we will meet again.
When love meets hope we will meet again.

Life is humble and it can be sweet.
Depends all on the ones you choose to meet.
So when the line holds stops and there is no more time.
Don’t let us leave here from this earth so fine.
When love meets hope we will meet again.
When love meets hope we will meet again.

Bridge
So when the lights dim and the rain it falls.
As the lonely fool repeats his call.
To walk that line will bring some strength and rest.
Might be considered as a endless test.
When love meets hope we will meet again.
When love meets hope we will meet again.

The new album Honesty of the hopeful is an ode to everyone who makes the best of life in an honest way and does not give up. The melodies on Honesty of the Hopeful are simple and hook into the themes of the lyrics, sometimes energetic and enthusiastic, sometimes tragic and compelling.
Americana, Folk, Alt-Country with a bit of Soul. ... more
