ANATHEMA released their third album, Eternity, on this day in 1996 through Peaceville.
The concept of "Hope". That was the choice, the concept itself of the song. Maybe we're not just spirits disappearing, maybe there is some sort of light at the end of the tunnel as far as our spirits are concerned. Perhaps things will be better one day, perhaps when we're dead; you know, all of these types of things you think about.
...we chose it [for a video] because the reactions from various sections of the media when Eternity was released were very centered around "Hope", and it seemed to be the most popular choice at the time.
