Derek and I singing, humming, clapping and snapping. This song also features me playing piano. This is another one of Derek's really raw songs that turned into an experiment. I think the title is just because Bjoerk also had a song called Hope on her

Reuben Walton is an artist and songwriter originally from Cape Cod, MA and currently based in Woods Hole, MA. His work spans multiple genres with a pop-centric focus. A graduate of UMass Lowell and Sturgis Charter Public School, Walton's involvement in music has been a longterm passion with a steady shift towards original material beginning in high school. From his beginnings with choral ensembles, avant garde lo-fi dadaist compositions and earnest cover songs, to his free-flowing explorations of hip hop, atmospheric R&B and plaintive pop melodies, Walton brings a unique perspective that is both vulnerable and playful, his vocals and ear for melody and rhythm forming much of the common element unifying his body of work. His modest career highlights have included performances at UMass Lowell's annual Mothers of Rock concert and various venues in Southeastern Massachusetts and the Greater Boston area. Currently he is in the process of assembling a short EP with producer AVLI Music of Avli Music Productions in Woodland Hills, CA, in addition to working on a variety of side projects and collaborations.

Story behind the song
Derek and I singing, humming, clapping and snapping. This song also features me playing piano. This is another one of Derek's really raw songs that turned into an experiment. I think the title is just because Björk also had a song called Hope on her 2007 album Volta, which came out earlier in the year this was released. Towards the end, this song also contains a lyrical interpolation of Björk's song "I've Seen It All" off of her soundtrack album Selmasongs: Music from the Motion Picture Soundtrack 'Dancer in the Dark', released in 2000. The track artwork is a picture taken by me on my mom's old digital camera of Amber Scanlan and I in Amber's Kia Optima. This song was originally uploaded to my SoundClick music page at www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=541671&content=music&songcount=106&offset=0¤tPage=2 on Sunday 9/30/2007. from Diamonds and Plastic, released March 30, 2011 Vocals by Derek Crofut and Reuben Walton Vocal production by Reuben Walton Lyrics by Derek Crofut, Reuben Walton, Björk Guðmundsdóttir, Sigurjón Birgir Sigurðsson and Lars von Trier Handclaps and snaps by Reuben Walton Piano by Reuben Walton Composed by Derek Crofut and Reuben Walton Programming by Reuben Walton Produced by Reuben Walton Recorded by Reuben Walton Mixed by Reuben Walton Edited by Reuben Walton Track artwork by Reuben Walton
