Description

Lyrics:
I wasn't expecting a free ride
For this to be fine
To all be alright
Maybe some hard work has paid off
Or maybe it's me
Maybe I've changed
I looked to escape from the danger
I looked for a way out of harm's way
And suddenly here in a new place
I am surprised to find I'm alive

Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unaware
It was just round the corner
Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unprepared
As if out of nowhere

I've always been dragging a grey cloud
Waiting for pain
And waiting to fail
Contentment is here at my door
Look it straight in the face
And don't be afraid
I always believed if you held it
Then it would be gone
Been anxious so long
But once in a while there's a blue sky
So dare it to stay
We're starting to play now

Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unaware
It was just round the corner
Hope is closer than you think
It caught me unprepared
As if out of nowhere

Hope Is Closer Than You Think

Hi, I’m Kar and I'm an indie-electro artist and producer.
 
Growing up in a musical household in Dundee, Scotland, I played in orchestras, brass bands and ensembles of seemingly-random combinations of instruments. 
 
I was a member of critically-acclaimed indie miserablists The Scottish Enlightenment, playing bass and cornet. My highlights were supporting Idlewild; making the Eyes video which was shown on MTV2 and VH1; and singing on the celebrated St Thomas album.

I'm now settled in the boldly-creative city of Manchester, England, soaking up its musical legacy.
