    A beautiful Box Set - Including...

    - 80-page Be the Architect hardback book - We asked all who came to the Be The Architect show to help us record the evening. We asked them to write a wish/poem/prayer/hope and submit it to us for inclusion in the Be The Architect box set. The result is an incredible 80 page insight into people's lives in 2009. It's a beautiful and inspiring artifact.
    - Prayer Song (Bonus Track) - Excerpts of people's "prayers" were made into a new work by Hope and Social. This is included in the download, i.e. not on the physical CD.
    ...all in a beautiful leatherette (yes, leatherette) box with silver H&S logo. Wow.

    Also includes immediate download of the album in your choice of 320k mp3, FLAC, or just about any other format you could possibly desire. ;)     ... more

lyrics

"Do What You Must"

Somebody call my name,
Call it out in another way,
Do what you must,
Get through the day.

If there's a clouded rage,
Hidden here in a hooded face,
Do what you must,
To get through the day.

Shout it shout it out, shout it out,
Do what you must.

I've worn the mournful vail,
With the dog at the door and the Sunday failure,
In the night,
A dream of grey.

There are a million ways,
To live with the grief of the unexplained,
Do what you must,
Get through the day.

Shout it shout it out, shout it out,
Do what you must.

So dolly where's that sting?
We'll live through this sadness and sing to the hymn,
Through all the dust the stone the rain,
We'll get through the day.

The bells the organ drone,
The soot black stone, the tower, the flag on the pole,
Do what you must,
Get through the day.

Shout it shout it out, shout it out,
Do what you must.

You can't face the morning,
Without the help of the night.

You can't face the morning,
Without the help of the night.

You can't face the morning,
Without the help of the night.

You can't face the future,
Without knowing what's left behind...

Hope and Social Leeds

In the tradition of the travelling bands, we guess we’re a bit like a Yorkshire E-Street Band...meets Arcade Fire...meets The Faces…meets Dexys Midnight Runners…meets Prefab Sprout…at a party...in an argument about who gets to have sex with David Bowie. We're not as good at describing ourselves as others are, so...

"a big sound from this impressive outfit...inspired, anthemic, great" - Q magazine ... more
