Hi again Reader !

As promised, we are opening up Round 2 of the Theme Song for CrossFall: The Remnant Rises.

This set is a bit different. I am trying for a little bit Hawaiian, a little bit like the Cranberries. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Remember, in the story, the mother is singing to her children in their mountain hideaway. We need a song that is basic enough that could be sung like that, but then that can be expanded upon for a cool Theme song for the audiobook.

About the song.

I wrote the lyrics of Whisper Hope (or Deep Calls to Deep) as a reflection of the dire situation JulieAnn, Lizzy, and the Bishop Family have endured. In the story, they have lived for years in hiding in the mountains of California while the world and civilization goes from bad to worse.

Their mother, Lucy Bishop, taught this song to her children as a sword in the sand. Or even as an Ebenezer Stone. We will not give up, we can survive.

As the story starts, hope seems to disappear for the Bishops. And yet, drawing from the strength of their mother’s faith, JulieAnn and Lizzy move forward into life, applying the things they have learned growing up.

I like to have music in my audiobooks. The opportunity came last year for me to experiment with different versions of a musical version, which I jumped on.

What about you? Do you agree that hope does not disappoint? Have you ever been broken from hope disappointed?

Another verse says, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick.” (Prov 13:12) Hope is like a little breakable, fragile treasure. What is your story about hope?

Yours,

Darlene
