Great lyric that’s thought provoking. The kind of message we all need II heed @ the moment.  Another well written & performed piece.  “without HOPE there is no relief “.......

The sound of your acoustic guitar is so big, full, jangly, and deep. The electric guitar has a nice contrast to the acoustic. Well composed song. Love the lyrical message. Beautiful. (Nice ring out at the end. 😎) ⁓Rebecca

Amazing sound! I love how the vocals blends in perfectly! 🙌

Wonderful guitar tone, really well captured. I like the lyrics...

Höre mir "Hope" an und hoffe, dass bald mal wieder neue Musik von dir kommt. Ach so: Sehr schön spielst du hier Gitarre(n)!  ;o)

Hey Everyone!
Another song for another year. Tried to create some hope in these dark times.
All the best to you all!

Hope

Had a dream last night
the sun above us was shining bright
all the black clouds gone
on what we've waited for so long

Please don't say that I'm naive
and there is no hope at all
without hope there's no relief
even though it's very small

November, drizzling rain
feeling sad, still feel the pain
but there's some blue between the grey
and you'll see the sun will find its way

Please don't say that I'm naive
and there is no hope at all
without hope there's no relief
even though it's very small

Red Skies At Night

This song explores the good and bad in all of us.  We're all incredibly complex beings, and we all live with our internal demons.  The lyrics regarding a fly buzzing around an incandescent are a tongue-and-cheek reference to The Exorcist movie.  :)  There's a balance that we all try to maintain; some fail, some exceed,  but the vast majority of us live in the middle ground, the grey.

LIVING WITH THE DEMONS 
(c) JunkHeap Apr 2022 / Remixed Sep 2023

I'm lying on my bed 
looking up at a fly buzzing around
an incandescent. 
The light reminds me - 
we're full of strong emotion; passionate.

...and here we are.
Living with the demons,      
but I'm not going to the fire.

I'm grey, not bad or good, 
somewhere in between.
I'm grey, not happy or sad,
if you know what I mean.

Heart keeps on beating,
while I'm eating my cereal in the morning.
Nothing special, 
no pre-emptive warning;
of some devil coming in to steal my soul.

later on you can drop by,
and we can see what you have mind.

Some days the rays of light
from above they touch me, 
but Light or dark, I'm mostly grey.

Living with the demons.
Got to get them out of my head.
Living with the demons.
