about

Hope is about breaking this negative cycle and creating a better future. This has been the most powerful theme of my life lately. For the Hostage EP, I was depressed as hell while writing “Finish Line”, and felt completely unheard one night before writing “Filter out the Noise”, the new record is also a reflection of my life.

I’ve had some transformational experiences in recent years through the simple (but painful) act of admitting I was wrong about something - hence the new song “Say You Were Wrong.” I started to be drawn to the spider as a “spirit guide” and tried to learn lessons about being patient, avoiding distractions, and shaping my own future through consistent work - this became the song “Threads.”

And lastly, I rediscovered how important my friends are. I realized that community is one of the most important aspects of life and that a phone call to an old friend has the power to pull me out of a spiral and ground me. This is the theme of the song “Hope.”

lyrics

Blue light burning through my brain
White knuckling the phone again
My eyes are red
Doomscrolling in my bed
Chest tight from the news attack
But then a call from an old friend, it pulls me back
Exhale, I’m not alone in this
I can feel some love again

Hope
I believe I’m feeling
Hope
Was down, but now I’m kneeling
Hope
Even if I’m bleeding
Hope
I’m still alive

That phone that beat me down
Is now a hand I’m reaching out
We call around
To the scared souls all alone
Then we’re a community
Find a safe place to face to face
Like we are meant to be
When you’re lonely, life can be too much
You belong here you are loved

Hope
I believe I’m feeling
Hope
Was down, but now I’m kneeling
Hope
Even if I’m bleeding
Hope
I’m still alive

(This rabbit hole, it goes so low,
Feel all alone while the world burns down
Community is what we need
Keep eachother safe)
There’s no end when you’re down that rabbit hole
There’s someone in your world who needs your call

Hope
I believe I’m feeling
Hope
Was down, but now I’m kneeling
Hope
Even if I’m bleeding
Hope
I’m still alive

about

Molehill Chicago, Illinois

“Do not be fooled by the name. Chicago’s Molehill is more like a mountain constructed with big guitars, melodic keyboards, and pounding drums. Combining elements of progressive rock with pop sensibilities along with expansive and emotionally charged lyrics, this band delivers a symphonic listening experience.

–Jesse Menendez, Vocalo and WBEZ, 89.5FM and 91.5FM Chicago ... more
