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
