“Hope” by Our Lady Peace

Our Lady Peace took "Hope" off Naveed, their 1994 debut, as the third single, after "Starseed" and ahead of "Supersatellite". It began life under another name, "Sunflower", in a more psychedelic form, and Jeremy Taggart has said the bridge had something of a Police feel to it.

Arnold Lanni produced and engineered the track and shares the writing credit with Raine Maida, Mike Turner and Chris Eacrett, with Maida alone on the lyrics. The lineup is Maida singing, Turner on guitar, Eacrett on bass and Taggart on drums. The video parks the Canadian band in a smoky bar and keeps cutting away to a woman who seems lost in a field of sunflowers, a fitting picture given the song's first title, and to the odd things she and a man get up to.
