Pink Floyd - High Hopes

Pink Floyd"High Hopes"The Division Bell[Lyrics]Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were youngIn a world of magnets and miraclesOur thoughts strayed constantly and without boundaryThe ringing of the division bell had begunAlong the Long Road and on down the CausewayDo they still meet there by the CutThere was a ragged band that followed in our footstepsRunning before time took our dreams awayLeaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the groundTo a life consumed by slow decayThe grass was greenerThe light was brighterWith friends surroundedThe night of wonderLooking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind usTo a glimpse of how green it was on the other sideSteps taken forwards but sleepwalking back againDragged by the force of some inner tideAt a higher altitude with flag unfurledWe reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of worldEncumbered forever by desire and ambitionThere's a hunger still unsatisfiedOur weary eyes still stray to the horizonThough down this road we've been so many timesThe grass was greenerThe light was brighterThe taste was sweeterThe nights of wonderWith friends surroundedThe dawn mist glowingThe water flowingThe endless riverForever and ever

Floyd are just the greatest band that time has ever given us or will give us. in regards to their early stuff, it wasnt crap, it was just different and it was new to us. i went to see David gilmour play his new album at the royal albert hall and it was another change to the style that we know is gilmour but ill tell you it was fkn awesome. i did'nt take to his new stuff right away but it grew on me so quickly. fkn awesome dave!!! keep it up son!!!

does anyone think this looks like a big acid trip to you? i mean listen to the lyrics. It starts out of a mind that is used to the normal accepted activity and normal way.... but then tie time of the division bell hits. the chorus comes... "the grass was greener, the light was brignter..." maybe im wrong...anyone agree?

This band has always been ahead of its time with their music and art(videos). This video is so powerful....

kipstar81 (January 1, 1970 at 12:59 am)

Epic tune.The solo at the end (done on a slide guitar?) is f*cking amazing man......it makes the hairs on the back of neck stand up, everytime! :D

This song always created an image in my mind. It is of a child, coming-of-age, that has magical ideas of what the future will bring as an adult, but is left empty when he realizes that that childhood bliss is suddenly gone and unattainable and life is nothing like he thought it would be. Or maybe it's about the band member's ideas of what it would be like to become a superband only to realize it is nothing like they thought.
