The songs

The Place Where We Belong A galleon sailing toward an island in the sun. Listen

Wildlands Untouched places, a breath away from heaven. Listen

Break the Distance A desert road, and a blue sky over you. Listen

Remember Home A speeding highway, a city of lights, red sands. Listen

Wildlands (Festival Anthem) Made in lockdown, for the day everything starts again. Listen

What makes a song hopeful

Hopeful songs look forward. They can be fast or slow, and they do not have to be happy: what they have in common is an ending that opens instead of closing. A shore in sight, a road that keeps going, a place to come back to. In these songs by ELYAZ the hope is in the lyrics and in the way each chorus lifts.

Common questions

What are some hopeful songs to listen to?

The five songs on this page: The Place Where We Belong for the sea and the sun, Wildlands and its Festival Anthem version for wild places, Break the Distance and Remember Home for long roads.

Are hopeful songs the same as happy songs?

Not always. A happy song celebrates the moment. A hopeful song can start in a hard place, a storm or a distance, and still point toward something better.
