    Max Hunt's debut solo song-based album 'Hope' is now available to stream /download on the official Fragile Bandcamp page.

    Pre-orders for the CD release are also available and include download and streaming of the digital album. CDs will be dispatched from Nov 8th.

    This album features over an hour of new original music in the form of 10 songs recorded during the worst period of the Covid19 Lockdown 2020/21 and is supported by the Hessische Kulturstiftung.

    For Max 'Hope' represents the personal hope of a renaissance in musical culture and is inspired in part by the despair, anger and depression of this time and conversely the hope, enthusiasm and excitement for a better future.

    Other inspirations for 'Hope' include: Vicar's talking to Toads, the Bavarian 'Alte Kath Zwiefache' dance, reoccurring childhood dreams, Dark Age European history, Space flight, Scifi, fantasy, natural sounds, west African Baka polyphonic Yodelling and Languages.

    CDs come in a 4 page full colour printed slim card Digisleeve design package featuring stunning artwork from US artist Steve Mayerson.

Original idea from Jon Anderson project sessions 2009

lyrics

Prelude

Far shores have been discovered before
The world on which we all survive, through a wide open door

Transported onwards, the time was a prelude
Moonlight shining upon all bold faces
On a dark hill far away the chorus is heard
And the tall trees sway in effortless slumber
Shading the light that brings in a new day
Shading the light that brings in a new day

These times are but a prelude for what is to come
A prelude that heralds a new chance for beautiful words to be sung

Onward we strove, we wove and made it a new life
Life and strife our ways were our number
And on a dark hill far away a song is heard
And the tall trees sway in effortless slumber
Shading the light that brings in a new day
Shading the light that brings in a new day

Those times were but a prelude for what has now come
A prelude that heralds a new chance for beautiful words to be sung

With the chance of illusion all knowing ladadada
Ai Ai now know
It someday
With the chance of illusion still growing ladadada
Ai Ai now grow
It someday
With the chance of illusion out flowing ladadada
Ai Ai now flow
It someday
With the chance of illusion now showing ladadada
Ai Ai now show
It someday

Those times were but a prelude for what has now come
A prelude that heralds a new chance for beautiful words to be sung

Far shores to be discovered, further discovery will find
Earth knows, she sows the seed of future potential
Far shores have been discovered before
The world on which we all survive, through a wide open door
