about

This song was the result of just hanging out with Ethan at his home/studio in Bolinas.There’s nothing quite like ocean air, long dog walks, and being with friends and loved ones that fosters creativity. I first came up with the riff, Ethan and I both felt like something was there. I wrote some words, Ethan edited a bit, we recorded. I drove back to San Dimas and a few days later Ethan sent me a fully realized track with guitars, drums, bass, and epic ooooh backing vocals. The song was accepted into several music libraries under our band name Cross Legged Crow. Other than that, no one really got to hear it. I’m very excited to have written this song with Ethan for the album.

lyrics

When I'm feeling little and overwhelmed
And everything threatens to pull me underground
I can see a sliver of something new
I can see I'm not alone and it's true that

There's a hope
That I find
Peaking through
Like the sun
When the clouds
Open up
Some hopes you should hang your hat on
There's a hope
That I find
Peaking through
Like the sun
When the clouds
Open up
Some hopes you should hang your hat on

There was a darkness clouding up my mind
I used to live there right behind my eyes
Now I'm seeing colors through the cracks
The ones I used to see the ones I'm taking back

There's a hope
That I find
Peaking through
Like the sun
When the clouds
Open up
Some hopes you should hang your hat on

There's a hope
That I find
Peaking through
Like the sun
When the clouds
Open up
Some hopes you should hang your hat on

There's a hope
That I find
Peaking through
Like the sun
When the clouds
Open up
Some hopes you should hang your hat on

There's a hope
That I find
Peaking through
Like the sun
When the clouds
Open up
Some hopes you should hang your hat on
