"Harness Your Hopes" is a song by American rock band Pavement. It was originally recorded for the band's fourth studio album Brighten The Corners, but was ultimately left off the final record by Stephen Malkmus. It later appeared on the CD version of the "Spit on a Stranger" EP in 1999,[1] and on the 2008 expanded reissue of Brighten The Corners, the Nicene Creedence Edition.
In 2017, the song became Pavement's most streamed song on Spotify, surpassing their previous hit "Cut Your Hair", and also became viral on social media app TikTok in 2020. A music video for the song was also released in March 2022 in anticipation for the reissue of the Spit on a Stranger EP.[2]
