I was invited to a friend's party in LA and walked into the backyard at night just in time to catch her singing this song in front of a firepit. I was blown away. Sweet too, relatable, and, of course, so talented.
raped as a kid for years,abandoned by both parents as i got older because of it,suffering mental illness,suicide attempts,drugs prostitution,homelessness and complete loneliness.just me and my dogs and luckily now,a nice little apartment:)i listen to this and i can relate so much.to all those out there going through rough times,sending you all so much love.the rain don't last forever,hang in there:)
I'm still out here going into 2024 listening to classic hope. This song inspired me to write acoustic music at like 16. I'll be 34 this year. Just got done singing bring me flowers. Love this girl and hope to hear her beautiful soul moving forward.
🫶🏼This song just came into my mind. Spent this holiday completely alone. Tired of family drama. Tired of drama in general. Patiently waiting on the Lord.
I traded this chick a couple strawberry frappacinos for a copy of her cd in...idk like...2003...2005 or so on the promenade in santa monica. Been singing along to this beautiful song and a couple others ever since. Idk why this broads not famous!!!
Loved this album in high school, loved it through college, and now sing the songs to my daughter at bedtime. But for some reason I can't play it on Spotify anymore :(
I played this during my daughters funeral last year. This song has brought me through some hard times. I found her 3 days after my dream wedding. Her last wish was to wear my wedding dress so we laid her to rest in it. I know life and hard and it hurts but it’s life beyond the pain. I lived through every parents nightmare plus some. Keep moving & keep pushing through the pain. This shit hurts so bad but I’m still standing. Much love ❤️ 🙏🏾
They used to be but they were removed around a year and a half ago. I don’t know why they aren’t there anymore but at least we can still listen to them here 😃😃😃
Absolutely the most underrated prodigy to exist. How can this still be? I've come back to this sweet voice over and over and over for over a decade. Thank you.
7/15/2023 still here. Remember the first time heard this on the movie " Where God Left His Shoes " . Great movies. If you love this song then you will definitely love the movie. Starring Jhon Leguizamo
I’ve been coming back to this song since 2006!!!! This song means a lot to me ❤ Still as magical and comforting and inspiring as when I first heard it!! Beautiful! ♥️🫶🏼💋
I bought her EP when she was playing music with her brother(?) on the 3rd street promenade in Santa Monica. This was back in the early 2000’s. Hope, you just popped into my head. I’m so happy to hear this song right now.
First heard this on a documentary titled sounds of spirit back in 2004 and it blew me away. I think sucks she never blew up. She could of made a big impact on the mainstream music scene.
I first heard this song when I was about 15 years old road tripping for the first time. Since then, anytime I felt lost I would listen to this tune. Even as an adult now I would put this on anytime I start to lose direction in life. I’m turning 30 this month and this song still brings me right back to the day I first heard it when I had not a single care in the world. It tugs at my soul but also relieves me of an anxious tomorrow. Thank you :)
I wish this was on Spotify. I check for it all the time. Do we know why? This is one of my favorite songs EVER and I have about 15 different Spotify playlists that I wish I could put it on. I bought the MP3 back in the day, and I used to be able to add those to my spotify playlists but I don't know if you can do that anymore. :(
I remember my mom had her whole album in her cd that she would play in the car all the time. I would sing this song all the time. So happy I got reunited with this beautiful gem 😫
I actually have an autographed burned CD/DVD of her original music from when Steve Harvey debuted her on his show. It’s so damaged from the years. I wish it was on Spotify or anything. She is amazing.
Since the last time I've heard this song I've been up, I've been down. I've laughed, I've cried. I've lost people, I've forged new relationships. And yet this song remains the same. Beautiful, soulful, soothing, hopeful. My soul shines to this :)
I heard your music years ago. My pops found this song by happen chance and since then he would placed that song on replay for a while. It’s funny how that song still stuck with me, even now more than ever. This song is so smooth and inspiring especially when going through a season of anxieties, depressions, and hopelessness. Such an incredible voice.
Omg! I am beyond happy to find u on YT! Lighthouse and this song was everything to me in high school ! You are gifted , may you continue on your journey, God bless you- Hope! We love you and speak blessings upon blessings over you and your music 💓💕!
I am playing this song back to back like it just came out!!!!! I first was introduced to this song from my favorite movie "Where God left his shoes". Your voice soothes me💗💗💗💗
Could it be the world's gone colder? Baby, I'm a losing soul The more I try it just gets harder And my pain is getting old Somebody said that nothing lasts forever Just the storm so I've been told But it seems that when it rains it pours And you know the rain won't last forever And you know the storm won't always flow But if the sun don't shine forever You gotta let it go Sometimes my burdens get so heavy And it seems too hard to bear Sometimes I feel so empty And it feels like no one's there Somebody said that nothing lasts forever Just the storm so I've been told But it seems that when it rains it pours And you know the rain won't last forever And you know the storm won't always flow But if the sun don't shine forever You gotta let it go And you gotta let it go... And you gotta let it go... Mmmm... Mmm... oohhmmm...
I'm only 15 and ive been listening to you since forever- I learned these songs on instruments and have spread your songs to a lot of people who loved it all. I'm still here bro
@@hope Will you put out more music? This collection of songs with the image of the yellow flowers in your hair have all really affected me, and many others.
I first heard this song as a sample from REKS- Mr Nobody. It's been branded in my soul since. One of those few songs that becomes a part of your being.
I used to sit and listen to her sets on the 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica, CA back in the day. I wonder what she is up to mow? Exceptional talent…

I sincerely need this on Apple Music, I just regained access to my MySpace account and this song has always been in the back of my mind but I couldn’t find it.

Right! I haven’t been able to find this album on streaming for years. I always check for it. I wonder why
2023? 🤍
Haven’t heard this song in YEARS but as soon as it started playing the lyrics and feelings came right back. We need it on Spotify
This brings back so many memories
I hate I can’t find it on Apple Music 😢

Could it be the world's gone colder?
Baby, I'm a losing soul
The more I try it just gets harder
And my pain is getting old
Somebody said that nothing lasts forever
Just the storm so I've been told
But it seems that when it rains it pours
And you know the rain won't last forever
And you know the storm won't always flow
But if the sun don't shine forever
You gotta let it go
Sometimes my burdens get so heavy
And it seems too hard to bear
Sometimes I feel so empty
And it feels like no one's there
Somebody said that nothing lasts forever
Just the storm so I've been told
But it seems that when it rains it pours
And you know the rain won't last forever
And you know the storm won't always flow
But if the sun don't shine forever
You gotta let it go
And you gotta let it go...
And you gotta let it go...
Mmmm... Mmm... oohhmmm...
Used to listen to this song 10 years ago it was my fave glad I found it in TH-cam at least. Love her voice 😩💜
still stands the test of time classic
You were one of my favorite singers on myspace 🥺 I'm so so so happy I found you again 💕
