David Gilmour – High Hopes – Live at Robert Wyatt’s Meltdown

Live at Robert Wyatt's Meltdown 2001

"High Hopes" is the eleventh and final track from the 1994 Pink Floyd album, The Division Bell, composed by David Gilmour with lyrics by Gilmour and Polly Samson. Its lyrics speak of the things one may have gained and lost in life, written from Gilmour's autobiographic perspective. Gilmour has said that the song is more about his early days, and leaving his hometown behind, than about the seeds of division supposedly planted in Pink Floyd's early days.
