about

Last year I released my debut EP, Brain Machine Broke. It was such a fulfilling experience to take songs that I've written over the past two years and make them into something special! Her Name was Hope was one of the songs I wrote two years ago when I was in the bouts of depression and anxiety and isolation. I posted it to my YouTube channel as I was doing a challenge of writing one song a month for the second year in a row. That version was way more acoustic, and I wanted to up the production to make it happier and more upbeat because even tho it was a sad song it had a hopeful ending and was written with the intention of trying to get me through what felt like the worst year of my life. But I thought since so many people enjoyed it, I'd re-release it as this more acoustic sad song too so you can have access to both feelings expressed in the song. I hope you enjoy this version as much as the YouTube version or the one released in September 2020.

lyrics

I'm still waiting for hope
To knock on my door
But it seems like she doesn't
Wanna talk anymore

I just wish she'd give a sign
Of coming home soon
I want her to lift
the feeling of doom

My core feels so empty
And my heart is losing it's beat
My pit is growing sour
With every passing hour
You were my fix
But now you don't exist

There have been many nights
Where I was up late
Restless sleeping for hours
Dreaming of your face

Oh what I'd to
To have you back now
To look in the mirror
And still feel proud

My core feels so empty
And my heart is losing it's beat
My pit is growing sour
With every passing hour
You were my fix
But now you don't exist

It didn't happen overnight
(Her name was hope x2)
It took love and a lot of time
(Her name was hope x2)
She didn't go down without a fight
(Her name was hope x2)
Didn't go down without a fight
