Hope for the Best

2021 5090 Song Number 22.

I am sort of liking this one. It’s okay though maybe a bit generic. The lyrics are about a real world situation that’s none of your business.

Guitar is my Les Paul Standard, amp is my Fender Bassbreaker 15. Pedals for the rhythm guitar tracks are a Chicago Stompworks Blooze Maker into a Ryra the Klone. Both with their output volume at 10 and their gain at zero. I’m having some fun with the low wattage amp. The lead used the same setup with a crybaby added at the front of the signal chain, and a Malaise Forever Black Lives Matter at the end.

Chorus
If I could just be patient
If I could hold together
don’t have to be complacent
feels like it might last forever

Verse 1 & 3
got my hopes up - it fell apart
had my heart set - it never happened
only wanted the best for all
only needed a safe way through it

Verse 2
try to picture a safer home
try to give them the care they needed
ever closer so far to go
never ending its never ending

Bridge
Just want them to be okay
There isn’t another way
Just give them the help they need
that’s all I want now
only hope for the best

Saved!
