Hey everyone! My new album 'Copenhagen Girl' is out now!

[akashagrawal]

This song comes in between happiness and sadness.

[freddiem.]

That solo makes me cry inside everytime I hear it.

There is no girl more beautiful than this tune

High hops sliding guitar solo is THE Greatest guitar solo EVER created in the entire music universe, , just in my opinion of course....

[tepidtooth]

Who needs a lap steel, just slap a Stratocaster on a drum and do it like this guy, bravo👏🏻

[jcraftminerlive]

Gilmour made a masterpiece, I can only say this song brings me a level of happiness and goosebumps because it's so godly beautiful. Truly a work of art that will live on for ages!

Great to see someone so young so into Pink Floyd. There's hope for music yet! Great job!!

The way David Gilmour is able to perfectly capsulate the core emotion of a song in its solo to register with the audience is phenomenal. Comfortably Numb's solo is psychedelic through and through, but has that uplifting feeling, like you know everything's going to be fine. The placebo of a pain pill or needleshot that the doctor gives you, telling you it'll be over soon. And then with High Hopes, that first bit has you flashing back to somewhere, a somewhat "unfamiliar" nostalgia. You've been there before but you can't remember where or when. Then you feel sad as you realise you're no longer as young as you once were. Now you're looking back and seeing how you've run your life, the melody goes up and then down, then slides back up to a peak in gradual steps as you reach your pinnacle of life. Then it sort of slows down and gets back low. Then there's the accompaniment played with the guitar once in synch and a second time but the guitar is late, you're slowing down, you're old. You're not as young as you once were. That's my interpretation at least.

I was in high school when this album came out. My friend Kevin Cramer would play it when we’d skip out at Lunch to get high. Thanks Kevin, it’s been one of my all time favorite albums since

This solo is the most beautiful ever created for a human being. Every time I hear it i get relaxed and euphoric at the same time and then cry.

[randomguy]

in my opinion this is one of Pink Floyds greatest solos. id even rate it higher than Comfortably Numbs no kidding. I just love it so much

[ocahan]

Who disliked this ? Perfect cover and one of the best looking walls ever

[ilmammourtada]

Sorry, did you play something, coz wasn't listening.. I was staring at the wall behind you.

[tarpnarp]

No matter what pink Floyd solo I listen to, I always say "this is the best solo ever made"

[JockoFlocko]

Absolutely amazing, a simply fantastic rendition... I am so glad to see a young generation loving and playing this great music that is so emotionally moving for so many people. I saw Pink Floyd at CNE stadium in Toronto on July 5th, 1994. I was 18 years old. It was the single greatest spectacle I have ever witnessed and I wish there was a time machine that could take all the new fans back to 1994 so you all could be there to enjoy it.

Tem que bater palmas sem parar pra essa obra de arte... E parabéns ao garoto do vídeo que a executou com maestria.

We have “high hopes” on this young lad. Great job
