A heartwarming rock number by Organic Call that expresses the feelings of someone who can’t honestly convey their emotions to the one they love, through delicate melodies and poetic lyrics.

Released digitally in October 2024, the song was crafted by band member Shinya Hirata, who infused it with the difficulty and preciousness of expressing one’s feelings.

After a spat with your partner or when you can’t quite put your honest feelings into words, why not listen to this track to sort out your heart?

“hope” is an unrequited love song packed with the simple wish to just be with the person you like.

The lyrics convey that, even while feeling cornered by a love that won’t go the way you want, it still makes you feel “it has to be that person.” It poignantly speaks for the small wishes of those in one-sided love.

This song can apply to many forms of unrequited love—before confessing your feelings, or for a former partner after a breakup.

Listening to it while you’re in unrequited love will make you empathize and cry, yet it’s also a supportive song that can make you feel like you want to share your feelings.
