About Hopes & Fears

"Hopes & Fears" a song by Will Young, released as the first single from his first greatest hits album, The Hits and his 14th overall. It was written by Stew Jackson and Yolanda Quartey, two members of the Bristolian band Phantom Limb, who supported Young at his 25 July 2009 concert at Audley End, Essex, and on his 2009 tour. The single features production from Robot Club who managed to get legendary 1970s session drummer Skip Wiseman out of retirement for this track. It was released on 8 November 2009, on download only. When asked in an interview with entertainment website Digital Spy what the song is about, Young said "Ooh, I don't know really... pregnancy haha! The song was written by a friend of mine, Stuart, who I worked with on the last record too. I liked it and needed something for the Greatest Hits, but the stuff I've been working on for my next album is much more dance-pop and didn't really fit in."

You don't take care of me like you should
Gotta help me out,
I'm losing my mind without a doubt!

Hopes and fears
Bring us all to tears
Babe, this will tear us apart
I don't even know what you want

There ain't no way of knowing
If we are coming or going
You just do what you want
There ain't no way of knowing
If we are coming or going
You're telling me what I want to hear

Hopes and fears
Bring us all to tears
Babe, this will tear us apart
I don't even know what you want

Hopes and fears
Bring us all to tears
They'll bring us to our knees,
So, baby won't you please, let go!
Let go!
