"Hope It Don't" is the equivalent of presenting one reason after another in support of your position, but saving the most convincing reason for last, after you’ve already won the argument. We were convinced that the song from All Tvvins was blogworthy, then the guitar riff entered at 3:04. If this were American football, the referee would throw the flag for “piling on.”
After a one-minute of foundation building, a heartbeat kickdrum dictates a first intensity jump. The second arrives with the start of the chorus. The vocals are invested in the message and the lyrics are intelligent even during the verse that is most simplistic:
I will love you
'Til the day I don't
I will want you
'Til the day I won't
But If I don't need you
'Til the day I'm gone
I just hope that day don't come
I just hope I'm wrong
All Tvvins are based in Dublin, Ireland. The two members are Lar Kaye and Conor Adams.

Lyrics of "Hope It Don't" by All Tvvins
Well it's old wood
Oh, this place could haunt you
If only I could stay
Not only I could say
That it shook the clothes
From my tired bones
Well this place is a book of matches
Whole world knows to keep away
When the hour was breaking
On the hour was good
And the money you're making
On the money was good
But it broke your spirit
Oh, it broke you down
And now you're dying to leave it
Destined to live not leaving this town
Ah baby won't you roll back round
Nothing ain't forgiven on this holy ground
When this good-old fire don't make no smoke, no sound
Oh, you can breathe in now
Won't you say you do
Like I say I do
Would you hold me baby like it's all OK?
I'll pretend I never even heard you say
I just hope it don't [4 times]
Well the river was twisting
Like a river it should
Over time that we're missing
What the river it took
Well it washed our children
And it washed our hands
Remember the blood here
Remember the blood that ran from the land
Ah, baby won't you roll back round
Nothing ain't forgiven on this holy ground
When this good-old fire don't make no smoke, no sound
Oh, you can breathe in now
Won't you say you do
Like I say I do
Would you hold me baby like it's all OK?
Like it's all OK
It's all OK
I will love you
'Til the day I don't
I will want you
'Til the day I won't
But If I don't need you
'Til the day I'm gone
I just hope that day don't come
I just hope I'm wrong
I just hope it don't
[Repeating]
