If Ever 03:42
With you by my side I shine brighter Magnificent like stars collide Whispers in the dark A hand to hold Never wide of the mark We filled up the skies With desire Here my lightning we’ll lay If ever you fall I will catch you If ever you go I will follow you I tasted your kiss Feels like home Sinking into my bones If ever you fall I will catch you If ever you go I will follow you If ever you fall I will catch you (If ever you fall) If ever you go (If ever) (If ever) (If ever) I’ll be here for you

Dream Dancer 03:32
We were young We had fun There were kisses In the rain At the break of dawn All the colours Washed away Again Living for the moment Full of youthful grace You said Let us dance And forget what we’ll become Let us dance Let us dance til kingdom come Let us dance We were young We had fun Such a beauty left unsung In your hands In your eyes Drifting further From where I stand Remembering the moment Feeling out of place You said Let us dance And forget what we’ll become Let us dance Let us dance til kingdom come Let us dance And forget what we’ll become When the lights go out No love is lost again You said Let us dance And forget what we’ll become (what we’ll become) Let us dance Let us dance til kingdom come (let’s dance til kingdom come) Let us dance And forget what we’ll become (forget what we’ll become) When the lights go out (go out, go out) No love is lost again

Forget What you’ve been told Regrets They’ll come when you’re old This life will simply pass you by Think twice Oh, what’s the point? Realise You will disappoint There’s only so much you can take There will be Better times ahead You’re not alone Don’t be scared Good things will come for everyone (Oh, everyone) Red lights They come and go Take flight But you’ll never grow Stand up to what you have been told You know you are special (I know I am special) You are the only one You are a miracle (I am a miracle) All coming undone There will be Better times ahead You’re not alone Don’t be scared Good things will come for everyone There will be Better times ahead You’re not alone Don’t be scared Good things will come for everyone Oh, everyone There will be Better times ahead You’re not alone Don’t be scared Good things will come for everyone (Good things for everyone) Good things will come for everyone (Good things will come) Good things will come for everyone (Good things will come) Good things will come (Good things will come) Good things will come (Good things will come) Good things will come for everyone

This is what life really means Memories of what could’ve been Growing old becomes a curse Forgetting what you were doing first This is what life really means All the things that you have seen Regretting all your yesterdays Lying with every word you say Nothing really matters Nothing really matters Nothing really matters now Nothing really matters Nothing really matters now Nothing really matters now

about

As a band that steadfastly believe in the power of hope and love, lightcraft have consistently reminded their listeners about the importance of hoping for a better tomorrow and loving one another.

Their fourth full album “Hope + Love” is the culmination of their message about hope and love. And it is a message that the world needs right now; a world that is increasingly devoid of both.

Comprising twelve powerful and emotive songs – including five previous singles that have been remastered – “Hope + Love” delivers the band’s objective of moving towards a new musical direction, resulting in a sound that retains their trademark anthemic and cinematic characteristics while also showcasing a different side to the band’s sound.

Featuring collaborators Pretty Rico, DSML (Singapore), and Natasha Udu, “Hope + Love” was produced and mixed by Wisnu Ikhsantama, Iqbal MSSVKNTRL, Petra Sihombing, and DSML. Mastered by Marcel James, it features the focus track “Permanence”.
