about

#SaveTheFerret

Ray of Hope (Ferret Forever) is a high energy bittersweet indie rock song that gets straight to the point with the confidence of The Foo Fighters and the tight hooks of Supergrass.

The catchy melody sparkles with urgent heartfelt lyrics inspired by a situation now familiar to many around the country: the fight to save a beloved local venue.

The Ferret is a long established community in the heart of Preston. A music venue is more than just a building, it's the people. Our grassroots locations are a stars of the future circuit, also.

“The Ferret needs to raise enough money to stop the building being sold to developers. With support from the Music Venue Trust, we're close to our goal, however this community still needs your help.”

All proceeds from the sale of Ray of Hope (Ferret Forever) will go towards saving this venue that has hosted Ed Sheeran, Bob Vylan and Badly Drawn Boy among so many other familiars.

Musician, Jean Genie’s Massive Hugs is a firm supporter of this venue and the Grassroots Music Venue circuit from many angles from performer, promoter and DJ to radio presenter and music society curator. This is from the heart.

lyrics

Ray of Hope (Ferret Forever!)



Verse:

All I know about life

Is waiting is the enemy

And I’ve been waiting for so long

But when push comes to shove

Time denies us certainty

Believe me waiting it goes on and on and on

Verse:

I can see it in your face

We’ve got to save this space

I will recognise these signs

We’ll be there on Friday night

Chorus:

You better not stay at home

To the Ferret we go

You take a look and you eyes light up (eyes light oh)

It’s at the end of the road



You know I’ve said it before

And I’ll say it again

And if you really want

We can invite all our friends

Verse:

And see them there

Amazing atmosphere

You’ll be there with sparkling eyes

When I see you there tonight

Chorus:

You better not stay at home

To the Ferret we go

You take a look and you eyes light up (eyes light oh)

It’s at the end of the road



You know I’ve said it before

And I’ll say it again

And if you really want

We can invite all our friends

Middle 8:

I wanna ferret forever (repeat x4)

YEAH!

Chorus:

You better not stay at home

To the Ferret we go

You know we’ve got a ray of hope, ray of hope

It’s not the end of the road

Outro:

I wanna Ferret forever (repeat x4)
