Hopeful

~ Release by ODESZA (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

“ ”Hopeful" is a track that we had originally wanted on 'The Last Goodbye' and for a moment we even considered it for the first track on the record. While it ultimately didn't make the album we still felt an affinity for the song and wound up playing it in the live show,” said Harrison & Clay of ODESZA. “In a lot of ways it represents us doing our best to remain hopeful in a time of unsureness. We wanted the track to embody a sense of togetherness and to be a reminder that we are not alone even when we feel distant.”
