      Agreed. I first heard it when my dad (who's a big Floyd fan) got the album, I was 17 then and I liked the song, and didn't quite understand why both my parents were rather quiet and contemplative after hearing it for the first time. Now I'm 46, and while you can argue that doesn't make me old yet, this song sure hits home.

      Jeff Beck definitely in the same league as DG regarding ethereal guitar sound. Along with Hendrix these are my favourite three guitarists of all time. It's telling that Beck was actually considered as Syd's replacement before Dave. As they say, it all worked out for the best in the End.

    It’s haunting, because it’s in “minor”, or more precisely the “aeolian” mode. And the open fourths in the piano riff are also haunting. This is not coincidental, but genius song writing. And the haunting and relentless ringing of the division bell on the off-beat („4“) in the background that never fades and counts the time running by… Pure genius!

    The solo ALWAYS makes me cry. I can’t explain it, I don’t even want to know why it makes me feel so sad but with sadness it makes me feel extremely content. It’s the magic of David’s guitaring where each note feels like it was picked from the notebook of the music gods and placed in the right place for the right amount of time. It’s genius and I know that word is used for so many on numerous occasions but Gilmour deserves it.

    This song was the final track on 1994's 'The Division Bell', which also was the last studio album they ever released. Extra reason to be melancholy.
    Nighwish covered this song in about 2003 or so, with Marko doing all the vocals. You'll love it.
    Not having time as an adult is a pretty universal thing. Right now, I'm on medical leave, after that car crash broke my ankle in June.

    • @danpurdy32
      @danpurdy32 9 місяців тому +5

      You're both right. Division Bell was the last studio album everyone in the band worked on together. After Richard Wright passed away, David Gilmour found some old recordings that Wright had made of unfinished concepts that weren't fully developed, recorded while they were working on Division Bell. He got the survivors of the band back together to finish the pieces and put together one last studio album: The Endless River. It's almost entirely instrumental, and it's phenomenal, but it really does feel like a farewell to Pink Floyd. Gilmour said after Wright passed -- and I'm paraphrasing here -- that Wright really was the soul of Floyd and without him, Floyd was done. The Endless River is technically Pink Floyd's last studio album, but it's really a farewell to Richard and to Floyd as a whole.

    • @mikewatts867
      @mikewatts867 9 місяців тому +3

      @@Kazatimbut it was. Endless River is a re-imagining of outtakes from the Division Bell, a eulogy or requiem to Richard Wright. I wish some of the stuff on Endless River had been incorporated into the Division Bell. But I can’t quite consider it as their last studio album.

    This is one of the best examples of David not being one to be very verbose, but talks through his instrument. His solo at the end speaks so much that words can’t describe how many emotions are in it. The nostalgia for the past and being reminded of an easier time and eventually full of regret is so powerful. Even the masters of prog can have regrets speak volumes for how poignant the song is. So powerful

    This is the majesty of Pink Floyd. Most groups write “catchy tunes” and “silly love songs”,….but PF writes about “the real issues” and the “real things that matter.” That’s why you listen to PF with your heart, instead of your head. Zero to thirty-five seems like it took a long time coming ……. But…..35-70, was just a blink. The older you get, the quicker a year goes by. Don’t waste your youth waiting for a more convenient time, or a bigger bank account…….Those things never happen. Live in the moment, enjoy what you have, instead of pining for what you don’t have. Find someone who shares your values and go together. Life is easier with a partner…..two is better than one, provided “you are going in the same direction.”

    Pink Floyd saved my life... I grew up in what we would call a broken home these days, and my situation could only be called abusive. This translated into my experiences at school as a tiny weak "weird kid" and I was at the edge of my endurance when I discovered Pink Floyd with their album "The Wall." I dove deep into Floyd after that and found echoes of all the pain I had ever felt before in their music, all the losses, all the hopes and dreams... Water's had an incredible gift with his lyrical ability, and Gilmore had an almost supernatural gift in his ability to express the subject matter with the music he played, never needing the lyrics... But these gifts they had made me feel connected to something: made my aloneness bearable because I found that I wasn't really alone..... Pink Floyd connects a world of damaged people who are willing to stand back and forgive, and give understanding to those who aggrieved them.

The 2 best concerts I have ever seen were the Dark Side of The Moon tour and the Wall tour. They had such a special gift and ability to reach right into your soul and pull those strings. You are proof of the timeless nature of their music. Thank You Peace

    I can tell ya, at sixty one years old and the direction I see the world heading in, this song hits me on another level. Pink Floyd says out loud what we all feel deep down inside, you just have to be willing to listen. We have burned many bridges behind us and the grass was indeed greener on the other side. After the great depression and last world war people cared about one another, there was unity and we prospered. that time is now gone and the divide widens, caring has been replaced by selfish, self - centred, greed. People don't think we anymore, they think me.

    The bee at the beginning is a symbolism into an English summer day in Cambridge. For the Pink Floyd fans it's a nod to the song "Granchester Meadows", which they recorded 23 years earlier for Ummagumma. I guess it's another reference to time passing from a simpler era for them.

    Now, watch Nightwishes tribute to Pink Floyd, covering High Hopes, specifically, during the costume change by Tarja during her last concert, Marco belted this out with all the emotion they were feeling, knowing what they were going to do. Even David Gilmore was impressed enough to share it on his social media way back in 2005.

    Glad to hear more Pink Floyd! I love your reaction videos, and would really enjoy your impression of "Hey You" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". Pink Floyd seems to be having a resurgence, as younger people are exposed to it for the first time, and realize just how talented this timeless group is.

    This is one of my favourite PF tracks, due to the personal touch in the lyrics and the performance. I also think that the only band that has ever made this song justice apart from PF, is Nightwish. Their performance on the last show before kicking the first singer Tarja, they absolutely made this song justice and at the same time made it their own. PLEASE react to that as well:

    No need to apologize, it's part of doing reactions and besides I love hearing what you have to say.
    Like you said, Pink Floyd has a gift of shaking you up and you are not the only one who feels that way. Every time I hear this song it makes me tear up and reflect on my own life and the older we get the more their music hits.
    Btw, Happy happy birthday Aileen, I hope you have a wonderful one, I too celebrated mine just last week, and for us this song couldn't have better timing right!...
    Oh and yes, the visuals is from the official video of the song. It is worth checking out for sure... Great reaction my friend... Stay beautiful and open hearted and have a great week ahead.

    High hopes is all about childhood for most ot us a memorable time in our lives the fly the birds singing in the background and the bell for me represents the never ending passage of time a time you will never get back it sets the mood for this incredibly well put together beautiful piece of music floyd can do no wrong they tell it as it was and how it is now truthful honest and emotional incredibly talented group my love for them grows stronger by the day I've been listening to them for fifty odd years you never get tired of listening to them says it all once you hear them your hooked fabulous like your reaction it's so heartwarming to see your express your emotions we all feel the same keep on rocking as they said in my day love

    I think this song to me, is about the loss of innocence, the high hopes we had as children and as we age they feel so fleeting. This song always makes me sad inside longing for those times again. Also, the fly may symbolize the hopes decaying as we get older, like a fly flying around a corpse. I recommend checking out Pink Floyd- Echoes Part I (Live at Pompeii).

  • @davidmarino1913

    With The Pink Floyd, their gift is the ability to blend the music, vocals and lyrics into one big entity. The lyrics and the vocals aren't an afterthought, they're a part of the music, unlike most music made today.

  • @marts500

    I think the birds tweeting and the fly or bee buzzing around at the beginning along with the church bell being struck in the distance is meant to represent a childhood summers day in england.....
    David Gilmour is quite the gentlemen...he met a busker in Venice once and invited him to perform at his concert that same evening ☺️

I got offered $1200 for the tickets outside and I told the guy no way … he said why that’s a lot of money and in cash… I told him because tonight I get to see a God like play the guitar…. After the concert in 1994 my wife and I stayed at the hotel in downtown Chicago for the night… and 9 months later my beautiful girl and only child was born. She’s 29 now… it’s funny that I have everything given to me that night… my favorite band of all time.

    The high notes on the piano are haunting. It also feels like there is a note missing from the sequence when played. It’s very reminiscent of one of their older songs “Fearless”. You should react to that one.

    Fantastic Reaction Aileen!. The only two Singers/Bands that really reach inside my very being and Massage my heart are Pink Floyd, Their lyrics are such a poetic representation of all our lives, They have the ability to make you step back and ponder lifes decisions!. David Gilmour is, to me, Someone who needs no lyrics! Just his ability on his Guitar can make you feel things you never expected to feel, to pull at your heart strings like a puppet master and leave you breathless at the end!. At that End is a new Beginning because his Music continues to resonate inside you for hours sometimes days.
    Angelina Jordan is my other go to Artist for an Emotion Massage!. Many times she has had this 56 years young Rock Fan in Tears with her sublime tone and ability to re-imagine Classic Songs from days gone by!. She won Norways got Talent at 8 years old (entering at 7) and has close to 200 tracks on You Tube as well as Several Originals!. 17 now and has just released her first EP with Republic Records! You should check her out sometime dear.
    My all time favourite band is Led Zeppelin but they make me feel things in a completely different way! Like Floyd and Angelina take me upto the clouds! Floating there with their surreal effervescent melodies! Led Zeppelin bring me back down to Earth with the Energy of a Nuclear Bomb. Keep up the fantastic reactions Aileen you absolutely got my Sub.
