Wikipedia article'Hope' is an acoustic instrumental from Rush's 2007 album 'Snakes & Arrows'. It was performed on a twelve-string guitar in D Modal (D-A-D-A-A-D) tuning. Background"Hope" is one of the three instrumentals on the Rush album 'Snakes & Arrows'. According to Neil Peart, the title of the instrumental was inspired by the chorus of the ninth 'Snakes & Arrows' track "Faithless", which contains the word "Hope". It is the band's second shortest studio-album-song, clocking in at 2 minutes 2 seconds. Unusual for Rush's compositions, the song was written by Alex Lifeson alone. It is played on a twelve-string guitar and was recorded in two takes. The second take was "just for the heck of it". A live version of "Hope" was nominated for a 'Grammy Award', which appeared on the compilation disc 'Songs for Tibet'. The song was recorded on May 25, 2008, in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
