lyrics

Hope is a human, a wise undoing
Says “you’ll get through this, baby”
I’ve been crying to laugh these days
Hope’s got a gentle gaze, and she’s been painting me
In new light; a blessed child
A body wild and free
A figure fit to carry me

I stand her last disciple
Unfit to cycle through the throes of loving someone
So when I least expect it
Hope and her gentleness sneak up behind me
Stand in moonlight, yells back "the water’s fine"
Her body wild and free; a figure fit to carry me

Yes hope’s the whore I go to
She walks me through it all
Wise cracks and smacks me down
Right to the bed that I had lain there with you
Screws her own gentleness and leaves me wide eyed, guessing
For she's a sworn off angel
In all her carelessness she’ll leave you blistering
And high, as if recycled
A faithful know it all; a creature basking in the

New light; a blessed child
A body wild and free; a figure fit to carry me

Yes, hope sure is a human
She’s warm and glistening, I climb into her skin
See in light a blessed child, a body wild and free
A figure fit to carry me

Valley Of Heart's Delight
by Margo Cilker

supported by 4 fans who also own “Hope is a Human”

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar

Age of Apathy
by Aoife O'Donovan

supported by 4 fans who also own “Hope is a Human”

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
