Daydreamer
David Hope · The sixth studio album
Daydreamer
Songs shaped by the years in between.
Daydreamer is my sixth studio album, produced with Kealan Kenny at his studio in Cork.
These songs grew in the space between …and the Sea, the upheaval of Covid and the world we find ourselves in now. Some had been with me for years; others arrived closer to finishing the record in early 2026.
There are soft acoustic tracks, string arrangements and moments of humour alongside the more reflective songs. Finding how they belonged together took time. The record that emerged was sometimes unexpected, and all the more personal for it.
The title song
The art of doing nothing.
Daydreamer begins with rain at an open window and the sound of a bird. It follows the mind as it wanders: out into the garden, up to the stars and into the ideas that appear when we give ourselves a little room.
It’s an invitation to stop for a moment, listen and see where your thoughts take you.
