David Gilmour - High Hopes

Meltdown Concert Royal Festival Concert 2002
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever

This song and performance should be burnt to a thousand gold disks and shot into space to travel the galaxy for all of time.

Stop asking anyone who still listening this song in 2020, we will always listen to this.

It is so rare that a singer's voice doesn't sound ruined over the years. That's to clean living David!!

[Silverhornet]

The Cello player was magnificent! Beautiful work!

Best Emotional slide guuitar's solo in rock history

[OddTimeMan]

A masterpiece. Young people need to listen and learn from greats like David Gilmour.

[TilzMD]

David Gilmour is probably one of the very very very few singers whose voice and singing has got exponentially better with age...

[imnotbigben]

He changes to acoustic to lap-steel, as if he is changing a t-shirt ! Godly stuff !

My 8month baby girl, sleeps listening to this Masterpiece Everyday ❤️❤️

This is when you feel that humanity is not lost. When there is High Hopes

[Jimboslice]

This is still to date one of the greatest live performances of all time.

I find this one of the most moving pieces of music.

[pillznarRy]

Before he strummed one strum on that steel guitar I had goose bumps. Already knowing the emotion that goes into that solo...

[Gilbarwaters]

Many times we become fans of an artist by some one else's influence (a friend or relative) but few times we become fans of an artist on our own, because we really feel attracted to their art because one day we listened to their music and we identified ourselves with them. That's the way I feel about Gilmour since his early days with Pink Floyd I discovered it on my own and it's been amazing.

[TheDjMoo]

An absolute masterpiece of a live performance of one of the greatest Pink Floyd songs.

[dipro]

I was listening to this in my room alone, i just stood up and claped from the amazingnes!

[nisargjoshi]

I am not crying
There is something in my eyes

[AndyBoyd]
