    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.

lyrics

Shining Light

Hey, when did we take this path? When did we go this way?
Is it the right way? Is it the Right Path
Say, then we did the right task, then we had a right to ask
Is it the right day? Is it the right mask?

Shining light, a blinding sight, making us so strong
Bringing here, a true delight, that we have dreamt for long
It ends the night and sets alight the sky from dawn to dusk
Giving me a cause to be, a place to re-adjust.

Time can be the saving grace, time can be so fine
To be known, so long alone, time to climb sublime
Saving grace, a divine space, for all to find a sign
A sign to make a strong embrace, interlace refine

Bring to me that shining light, carrying along
Bring a light now, bring a light now, bring a light now, bring a light now
It is to me a true delight, a place to belong
Bring a light now, bring a light now, bring a light now, bring a light now

Warm encase, a loving face, set course toward the west
Field of stars, a stellar base, ride the wave to the crest
Shining sea, it brings to me the memory so long
It brought regret, but set me free, and life returned to song

Voices call, reverse our fall, hear them calling me
Hey, when did we take this path? When did we go this way?
Enable me the chance to call, of setting us free
Is it the right way? Is it the Right Path
On we move, perpetual stream, method to find peace
Say, then we did the right task, then we had a right to ask
An open door to endless dream, light and love increase
Is it the right day? Is it the right mask?

Bring to me that shining light, carrying along
Bring a light now, bring a light now, bring a light now, bring a light now
It is to me a true delight, a place to belong, a place to belong....................
Bring a light now, bring a light now, bring a light now, bring a light now

Shining light, a blinding sight, End the night, sky alight

Let us put a new case forward, let us make it right
Let us now review a new world leading to the light
