High Hopes Posts "The Greater Plan"
High Hopes just released an animated stream for “The Greater Plan,” a track featuring an appearance by The Color Morale frontman Garret Rapp. The song comes from upcoming release "Sights & Sounds," available everywhere February 5th, 2016 via Victory Records.
Vocalist Nick Brooks explains the song's meaning: “’The Greater Plan’ is about turning a negative mindset into a positive one. How life is always worth making the most of, even if you believe to have made mistakes, you will always have the gift of life to make your own future. There is no one to impress only to improve yourself as a person and to learn more than you did before.”
On working with Garret Rapp, Brooks adds: “We always enjoyed hearing Garret’s vocals on record and thought his style and technique would make a strong contribution to this track. We messaged him on a whim to see if he would reply to which he did nearly immediately! He’s a great guy with a good attitude towards music and the way a musician should be in a modern music industry.” More...
