MICHA ‘Hopeful’: Love Letters to Lost Ones

MICHA 'Hopeful': Love Letters to Lost Ones

Hopeful arrives as December’s fairy lights twinkle, but MICHA’s latest single strips away seasonal glitter to expose the raw reality many face during the holidays.

The song emerges straight from MICHA’s diary, written after losing two people close to his heart. 

“When my heart stopped beating my last thought was you” lands with particular weight and it’s not just songwriting, but a real letter to those he’s lost. 

His crystalline vocals float over ethereal piano work, crafting an intimate space where grief and hope dance in delicate tension.

While most holiday playlists sparkle with manufactured cheer, this track dares to acknowledge the empty chairs at festive tables.

The chorus “May you be hopeful, paint me with a smile” rings especially poignant as another year closes as an anthem for those navigating loss while the world celebrates.

MICHA’s production maintains a gossamer-like delicacy, letting his storytelling breathe through atmospheric soundscapes.

For listeners seeking authentic connection amidst holiday bustle, Hopeful offers a tender reminder that even in darkness, light persists.

MICHA Hopeful Lyrics

Tell me darling how you been and what’s it like 
Do the streets still sing the children songs outside 
It’s been so long and I still miss you everyday 
And in this empty all I’m seeing is your face 

How is home, and do the walls stil lock you in
I remember I remember everything 
I still see the colors dancing in your mind 
a thousand shades of beautiful moving in your eyes 

May you be hopeful 
paint me with a smile
I hope you fight for 
The dreaming of a child 
I wish you no more 
Teardrops to water down your eyes 
So Darling 
Don’t you ever dare to let the night in
Cause one day they will see the wonder you’ve been
So shine dear 
Don’t let em take you light 

When my heart stopped beating my last thought was you
If could steal a second I would take a few 
Just to hold you one more time take it all in 
Just to see you and to tell you everything 

Yeah I’d cry , i’d cry a river like you never seen before 
Knowing that I’ll never see you anymore 
But I still see the colors dancing in your mind 
a thousand shades of beautiful moving in your eyes 

May you be hopeful 
paint me with a smile
I hope you fight for 
The dreaming of a child 
I wish you no more 
Teardrops to water down your eyes 
So Darling 
Don’t you ever dare to let the night in
Cause one day they will see the wonder you’ve been
So shine dear 
Don’t let em take you light
