The man leaning on the car and the boy with the oversized wheel represent Syd Barrett. Syd could not deal with the enormity of Pink Floyd's early success, and fell in with a bad crowd and was fired by the band after their first album. He is staring out towards Cambridge, England (where Roger, Syd and David grew up). The man with the oversized black cape represents Roger Waters. The men with the three flags represent David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason. So many visual cues in this video. And, yes it is about a longing for a return to the innocence of childhood and younger days.
The live version from Pulse is excellent!
I agree ….
@@davehadley3567 Yep - and every time I watch it I'm convinced David Gilmour won't make the switch from acoustic guitar to lap guitar in time!
Highly recommended.
The live version from Robert Wyatt’s Meltdown is even better !
A must 10/10 ❤
I heard this song for 1000 times in 20 years but still sounds fresh. 😊
❤ 🎶 👏👏👏
Ive heard this song a 1000 times, including live, but when that solo slides in, theres a rush of dopamine to the brain that is very hard to put to words.
Its happiness, joy, but also sadness, longing and missing long departed loved ones and friends.
No other guitar player manages to get this sensation from him like David Gilmour.
Now, sit down with the lyrics, put on some headphones and listen to the song again.
This song always makes me think of losing one's childhood and innocence. That space between the last day of being a child and first day as a young adult. Very bittersweet. It makes me cry every time I hear it.
The balloons represent memories. The oversize proportions seen from a childs point of view, the bust is Syd, the shoe vanity, the school and the teacher's apples etc. etc.
It's a man looking back on his life, as you say, nostalgia.
This is the commercial video version. Watch the live Pulse Concert.
Great reaction. I highly recommend the live Pulse version. It’s fascinating watching the musicians actually perform the instruments and make this beautiful song come to life.
...And the "Live in Gdansk" version by David is even better, IMHO 😍
Live in Pompei is also great!
I love how dark, mysterious, yet powerful this song and video really is. Pink Floyd really knew how to tell a story with every song that they wrote!
This song hits harder as you grow up! I am 77 so this hits like a brick! Great reaction. The live versions of this song are my favorites (Pulse).
Exactly, sir… Long way to go for me to your blessed age, I am 33, I had been emotional listening to this song ever since, but since I have a son, it’s one of a bittersweet gutpunch.. I don’t know if it makes sense, but it’s just how it is. Actually, it can relate to approximatelly half of PF songs 😂❤
I always want to cry when I hear it.
You truly have to watch the Pulse live version. It is 150 % emotion.
The director was also the photographer / graphic artist for their album covers - you can take still shots from this filmclip and it could easily have been a Floyd album cover.
Yeah. You need to check out the "Pulse" concert.
Any approach to Pink Floyd’s sounds and imagery has simply got to let go of literal “meanings”, and embrace dreams and the subconscious instead.
Ever since they were the kings of psychedelia in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, this band has always been fully at home in the realm of the sublime. One need not pick it apart - our own openness to primal childhood memory and pure sensation should be enough to let it all just wash over us, and through us.
Here is a popular Rock band engaging in nothing less than pure Art, in the best sense of what Art is all about, and it is absolutely awe-inspiring to see and hear.
For me at 50 years old High hopes means, keep your expectations the same size as your efforts. Don't makes confused between dreams with delusion.
Loved you reaction to this Gorgeous song. I agree with the others.... Pulse and live from Pompeii are not to be missed versions. Just subscribed. Keep it up!
In a. It’s about growing from childhood to adulthood and looking back at lost chances.
Your effort is evident.
Love this song! The Pulse version is amazing, and Nightwish put their own spin on it too, which is pretty cool.
I think the reason for the weird proportions is these are childhood memories, and everything looks way bigger when you're a child, including adults.
Pulse is 100% perfection from beginning to end!!
I love Britt Floyds version!
This song is the last track on their final studio album, which is poignant. I highly recommend also listening to David Gilmour's performance of this song live in Gdansk, Poland; video is on his official YT channel. That performance features a backing orchestra, and Gilmour plays a tear-jerking acoustic outro.
You must listen to the pulse concert version!!
Great use of the lap steele by David
I agree with everybody else. The live version at Earls Court, gives you an entirely different experience from this studio cut. Check that one out.
I love how if you listen to this on the album, after this song finishes, there is no sound for a minute or two. Then a phone answers "Is this Charlie? Hello Charlie." the phone hangs up. "Great."
Forget the Pulse reaction and watch David Gilmour's High Hopes (Live) at Gdansk, Poland. The acoustic guitar solo that follows the slide guitar is exceptional !!
David Gilmour - High Hopes Live in Gdansk ;-)
My favourite video clip by any band. Surreal, mysterious, nostalgic and matched perfectly by the haunting and moving music.
As a child I had the most adventurous dreams that I can't recollect but can't forget somehow but when I woke from my dreams I found myself in absolute terror (night terrors) feeling the heaviest weight on me. The weight was unbearable and panic inducing! I was always happy to dream again and again regardless :)
uma das músicas mais incríveis já feita pelo homem.
No versions of High Hopes compares to Nightwish' End of Era 2005 tribute to Pink Floyd's High Hopes.
Yes the Pulse live version is a must .
Check out *Sorrow* from the Pulse concert, you're gonna love the lyrics.
You really need headphones to hear all of the elements properly, everything sounds better and clearer.
This is sort of a spiritual part 2 to "Time". Time was talking about getting older and having regret because life is too short. High Hopes is more about how life never turns out like we imagined it would in our pure, idealistic, wide-eyed youth. How life takes from you. How we can look back and see what it took, the damage we've endured as we get older.
We all played out with our friends but none of us can remember the last time
PULSE 1994 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great concert by Pink Floyd
Really great song from Pink Floyd, the video is really cool too. I think you might enjoy Mike Oldfield, check out Sentinel from Live at Edinburgh Castle.
Have you listened closely to the words ? Deeper meaning there .
David reflects on his childhood, growing up in Cambridge. The reference to 'The Cut' is where the boys from the Perse School met up for a crafty smoke.
It's more about bitter sweet memories of ones college days.
Hense all the Cambridge imagery, the college hallways,
Punting on the Cam, Cyling around the cobblestone streets near King's college
Esto es poesía en movimiento.
Pink Floyd generally uses double reading in her songs, in this case the hidden line is talking about reincarnation
I cannot recall if you have reacted to the Nightwish version of this song but I highly recommend live from End of an Era tour
It was David Gilmour who wrote it, about leaving his childhood town, and going off to be a big musician and fame. Bitter sweet, like you said.
That guitar is crying, remember the first time at 1994 when this album came out, i was 12 back then and it hit me very hard even though i was just child..
The balloons are a nod to the cult British television series The Prisoner from the 1960's-it had a floating balloon called Rover that would mind control people & even kill them if necessary.
Ciao Inna! Tu sei una Certezza ❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
great song but the tribure (cover) of Nightwish is incredible ;). You should take a look at !
Head phones are a MUST when listening to Pink Floyd. It adds a hole new dimension to the music.
You should react to machine gun live at fillmore east by jimi hendrix. Probably his greatest performance by far
You got the meaning right, that's what I feel too about this masterpiece. Bittersweet memories of lost innocence and childhood...
The bells in this song makes me remember my fathers funeral.
Great song, great band, great reaction, great reactor
Possibly the most English song ever written.
Listen to Grandchester Meadows on Ummagumma 👍👍
I recomend High Hopes cover by Nightwish or metalcore band from Germany Caliban
Nightwish did a cover of this live, it is pretty good. You should check it out
You don’t have to be right or wrong, everyone interprets the music as they feel.
Enjoyed your reaction to this!! You should DEFINITELY check out the live version of this from their Pulse tour! I was fortunate to see them on the Pulse tour at The Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas in 1994.
Listen: "Hey you"
La imagen que llevan al final es Syd Barret
They'd made so many classics by that point and this song proved they hadn't lost their magic touch! Glad you get to enjoy so much of them now!
Pink Floyd are always changing size just like Doctor strange 😎
The idea of the video is really to be surreal and convey this "onirica" image.
The grass was greener...like your eyes matching your t-shirt.
I loved your reaction to this Gilmore masterpiece. Check out the PULSE Concert Live version.....
Megadeath --- Symphony of destruction ...
What I love about this song is the Chime. With no reference point at the start, the listener will assign the chime a "down beat" status, but as the vocals enter, the listener is jarred by the realization that their "down beat" assumption is wrong. This feeling is mirrored in the lyrics concerning the "greener grass" which is an assumption one makes at their own peril.
The final Floyd track . What a way to go out.😊😊😊
This was meant to be The final track on The Final album.
Then they made The endless river double album which is a pale shadow of Division Bell IMO,that was Pink Floyd,s last album.
High Hopes is IMO one of their best..
@@longtimelurker3591Forgotten about that one😊
@@beds139 yes me too until I saw it in an anthologiy,
TBH it is not their best ,I have it , its just a shame as The last it was not better..
I would say "Its good but only has one song ,all the other tracks are instramental noodling".
Just good,no real stand out tracks.
The lyrics for this song were written by guitarist/ vocalist David Gilmour's wife Polly Samson, who was a writer/ journalist... Pink Floyd has always been a band that has used odd associations and surreal imagery since 1967 when they filmed a music video for the song 'Arnold Layne'... to the movie "Pink Floyd: The Wall" ... and this music video. There was a shot of a statue being carried - that statue was of Pink Floyd's founder Syd Barrett, who was out of the band in 1968 because of a mental breakdown.
David wrote the lyrics. Polly has said all she did was decipher them.
@@swinetrek Not true.
“We came to an agreement that I would write these things, but my name would never go on it,” Polly Samson said initially about writing Pink Floyd's lyrics.
She said Gilmour told her she would be credited by name for the lyrics, despite her hesitation... She said:
" 'There will come a time when you will thank me, I know you feel uncomfortable now, but in the end you will be glad.’ (Gilmour told her) And as usual, he was right, because I’m really proud of those lyrics.”
The sadness of hopes not fulfilled.
Hello, Actually maestro Gilmour has made different versions of "High Hopes" every live concert, and all of them are masterpieces, despite the live concert version of "pulse" and "Live In Gdańsk" where it is Accompanied by a magnificent orchestra, they are a must see because they border on perfection.
Great reaction!
I agree its a very dreamy film (the quality is beautiful) with the play on scale.
Very surrealistic.
Still holds up today.
Video for this masterpiece is incredible must say...... that man is genius. Fantastic music, with great, great video within.
✌❤🎶🎶❤✌
There is a new album by ALAN WALKER and PUTRI ARIANI entitled "WHO I AM" thank you ❤❤❤
The live performance of the PULSE concert is way better - it's a must! The way the guy in the live-video smashes on the bell in the off-beat is something else. "The ringing of the division bell has begun...!"
This is yet another Pink Floyd song where they use clashing rhythms to create a sense of foreboding. It took me several listens to realise that, while the majority of the song was in 4/4 time the ringng of the bell came every 3 beats. This means that the ring was always coming a beat before you were expecting it, creating a sense of unease. This is very subtle composition, something that Pink Floyd is very good at. During the "grass is greener" sections the bell is no longer there and this creates a sense of relief.
Unless you count the beats, which is not always easy in PF songs, you don't realise what they are doing but you feel it in your response to the music. This is a mark of great musicianship.
live to Pulse concert is very good 😎👍🎶🎶
High hopes live at Albert Hall is my favorite, that string,piano and acoustic guitar ending gives me chills and the feels. check it out.
Remember That Night? That one in 2006?
I was there. It was f**king immense.
"Hello?"
"Yeah?"
"Is that Charlie?"
"Yes."
"Hello, Charlie."
*phone hangs up*
"Great."
😆
Basically, the song is about being a child, and how we go to school, and lose that innocence. “The ringing of the division bell had begun” the transition from hopeful child full of dreams, into an adult. The exaggerated proportion sizes you speak of are about how as a child the world seems bigger to us. When we look back at our childhood, the grass was always greener, the lights was always brighter, the taste was always sweeter, the nights of wonder.
Must must must see the live "Pulse" version of this.
Well yes... Of course... Maybe? There was quite a few bands back in the day like Pink Floyd where not easy to understand, need listen several times. The reason was actually pretty simple, its called Marijuana and Barfahol. It's like the 70's happened because of the 60's and then the 80's happened because the 70's - (minus) 60's = 80's or maybe it was 60's - 70's = 80's. I dont know. But there was allot weird stuff too... Like look up Starcastle who had the COOLEST spacy album covers. CD's didn't even exist, it was either the record player or screaming, "No Please!" as the Cassette tape player ate you're girlfriends "Foreigner" tape and you had to worry about that stuff back then as you never knew if she was gonna dump you for some guy at the Roller Skating rink.
I'd wager say Inna if Social Media existed in the 70's and 80's civilization probably ended before it ever hit 2000. You're first memory would have been Mom saying, "Would you pick that up! I just swept out the cave!"
Like listen to this released in 1982. This was the height of sophisticated relationships: ua-cam.com/video/_50-gOeBilc/v-deo.html
What it means, is what it means to you.
Marco from Nightwish doing this also worth checking out! Saw this tour. Absolutely BRILLIANT!!! Great reaction. You've become one of my favorites. Your appreciation for older music is refreshing. 🍻🤟👏
Hey my Friend, react to JOURNEY "Don't stop believin" live in Houston 1981. Iconic song & Amazing vocals with great guitare solo. Thanks 💐
Be sure to listen to Nightwish playing this as a tribute to Pink Floyd
🇨🇦 This all has a very distinctive British flavour, so unless you were raised in the UK, I doubt there would be any serious 'Nightmare' influences !
Try Easter by Amarillo on, preferably live.
Syd Barret Its Alive
Has to the best, or at least one of the best, tracks from post Waters Floyd. For me Division Bell is also the best post Roger album
Inna, hi, I'm Eddie, please, never try to figure out Pink Floyd videos cause they never make sense! To me anyway! Please watch Pink Floyd's "Echoes" live in Danske Poland! I believe it's the last time it was played with keyboardist Richard Wright before he passed away from cancer! Beautiful version!
For young person you really get Floyd. Keep up your journey down their rabbit hole of beauty.
The video is about how the "high hopes" you had in your childhood, didn't come true. "The grass was greener, the taste was sweeter... " when we were a child. But then: "Steps taken forward, but sleepwalking back again". And finally "we have reached the dizzy hights of that dreamed-of world" and we "are looking back, wondering how green it was on the other side (i.e. when we were still young..) So yes, the song is full of nostalgia and unfulfilled "High hopes"...! (So "childhood" and "nostalgia" is quite correct!)
I really enjoy your reactions, Inna. Isn't a deep dive into the mesmerizing music of Pink Floyd a great adventure!? It's great fun watching you take this journey. I have followed Pink Floyd from its inception back in the late sixties, and have seen them live three times: in the early 70's, at their incredible Delicate Sound Of Thunder tour in 1987, and of course at their great Pulse concert in 1994. Each time they blew me away, each time my bond with them grew deeper. So yes, keep diving into the vast ocean of their transcendent music. You will always come up feeling cleansed, refreshed, and at peace.
The live version is way better and a must to check out.
Going through this Playlist, I can't believe you haven't reacted to Unleash The Archers yet. Check out Awakening.
The live Pulse version is even better. Best steel guitar solo ever. David Gilmour is the greatest guitar player to ever live.
