“A Song Of Good Hope” for the new year !

Posted by TMutter on January 1, 2026 at 10:48 am

Well one of my Christmas wishes came true as Natalie and I found time to sing together a few times and even got a few on video.
This cover has become a favorite of ours and is a great message for the new year. “Song Of Good Hope” is by Glen Hansard who you might remember from the movie “Once”. I am about 90 days from the accident that resulted in a broken shoulder and recovery continues. I am able to play a few songs in a row before it is too painful and I have to take the pressure off my arm but it is coming along. “hope” springs eternal and hard work paves the path!

thanks @petelanger , @Philb , @DPC71 for having a listen. If someone told me at the beginning of my guitar journey that after years of hard work and time learning the guitar it would lead to just one moment like this I would say it is worth it!

So pretty, I love it! You look like you really enjoy playing. I can’t wait until I can play like that. That was wonderful to see and listen to. Thank you for sharing.

  @Coreena Thanks for listening. I am sure you will be playing songs like this in no time. With this particular song I feel less is more. The more I play it, the less strumming I actually play, opting for space and let the lyrics shine through.

Very nice of Natalie to let you accompany her beautiful voice. Great selection and appropriate for the new season.
