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 ❤
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.
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!
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 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!
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.
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.
Yeah. You need to check out the "Pulse" concert.
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.
Yes the Pulse live version is a must .
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.
You got the meaning right, that's what I feel too about this masterpiece. Bittersweet memories of lost innocence and childhood...
PULSE 1994 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great concert by Pink Floyd
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.
My favourite video clip by any band. Surreal, mysterious, nostalgic and matched perfectly by the haunting and moving music.
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.
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. 🍻🤟👏
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!
Great song, great band, great reaction, great reactor
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.
Video for this masterpiece is incredible must say...... that man is genius. Fantastic music, with great, great video within.
Great reaction!
I agree its a very dreamy film (the quality is beautiful) with the play on scale.
Very surrealistic.
Still holds up today.
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.”
Genious! That's what these guys are, perfect definition! And another nice reaction of yours! By the way, the meaning of this masterpiece is kind of what you said, bittersweet childhood's memories, although there's always something else to be found in PF's songs. But I got a doubt, I'm not so sure the live version of this song is better than this one; ok, their performance in the Pulse concert is amazing, and so it is this video. And if you want any suggestions of their songs to react to, here you are: "Summer 68"; "If"; "On the turning away"; "Julia dream".
Yes, Julia Dream is oh so lovely. And Cirrus Minor!
Head phones are a MUST when listening to Pink Floyd. It adds a hole new dimension to the music.
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.
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
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.
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..
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.
The grass was greener...like your eyes matching your t-shirt.
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.
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.
The bells in this song makes me remember my fathers funeral.
Great reaction as usual Inna! following Pink Floyd from there beginning .The song is about when we are younger we have these dream and high hope of the future .Are senses are more keen. Thus the verse the taste is sweeter .Then before we no it time has slipped us by. The ones we loved are gone and we find ourselves alone .I like the Live Pulse version but also like High Hopes{Live at Pompeii}The way he go's from acoustic guitar and finish with the steel guitar is amazing!
Music videos are often just eye candy. Something to watch as you listen. We all interpret the music for ourselves. Often not the same as the band. But still enjoyable. Keep on rocking!😊🎉❤
live to Pulse concert is very good 😎👍🎶🎶
It's indeed about childhood and how we as humans go from awe and wonder for everything in our youth, loving the very little special things even innocence, and how we lose all of this growing up..., sadly enough! Later in life most of us look back upon there childhood knowing what we've lost...
Be sure to listen to Nightwish playing this as a tribute to Pink Floyd
I heard this song for 1000 times in 20 years but still sounds fresh. 😊
Pink Floyd are always changing size just like Doctor strange 😎
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.
🇨🇦 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 !
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!
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.
Since u enjoy PF, also recommend the Nightwish version with Marco singing this song as a tribute to Floyd
😃 Wow! 🤣😂
I've only ever heard the live versions of this song and never fully gotten into it but YOU are making me see your interpretation of it, and now this song is intriguing me. I need to examine this song further from your perspective
You have got me excited about this song Inna. Thank you so much ❤😁🤗
Another great reaction from you Inna 👌
PLEASE delve fully into the Pink Floyd rabbit hole?
Love what you do ❤🤗🤘
MORE FLOYD
MORE FLOYD
MORE FLOYD 😅
Great Gig in the Sky next please? Either the 'Delicate Sound of Thunder' version or pulse. Either either! Sam Brown does an awesome job in 'Pulse', but I prefer 'The Delicate Sound of Thunder version just because I absolutely LOVE Rachel Fury. Omg she breathes sexiness but when she steps away from that microphone with her childlike whimper... I cry every time!
Thanks Inna 😊
Thanks Inna ❤chris loves the joy on your face when yoiu do reactions❤
Such a beautiful and underrated album, and spawned the greatest tour of all time
For young person you really get Floyd. Keep up your journey down their rabbit hole of beauty.
This is the commercial video version. Watch the live Pulse Concert.
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!)
Your effort is evident.
What a brilliant way to wrap up a band's album offerings. Bloody fabulous. Polly has taken a lot of stick for her lyrics, but in this case, this is exceptional work.
The ragged man who followed in our footsteps - Barrett. Has to be.
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to to the ground, consumed by a life of slow decay - an ordinary life, those who told Floyd' they'd never amount to anything, that they'd never make it. Every band has its detractors.
The grass was greener, light was brighter - looking back always through rose tinted spectacles at nostalgia
Bridges burning behind us - post-split into the Waters and Gilmour factions
steps taken forwards and sleepwalking back again, dragged by the force of some inner tide - no matter how much you try and grow and evolve, something keeps on dragging you back to what is safe, what is easy, as opposed to what is right.
At a higher altitude the flags unfurled, we reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed up world - DSOTM/Wish You Were Here. financial success and stardom
Encumbered forever by desire and ambition, theres a hunger still unsatisfied - (f"kin brilliant lyric) no matter how successful you've been, theres something aching in you for something else, one thing you havent yet done... reconciliation. The what if. What if none of the fighting, the Waters megalomania, what if the split hadnt happened, what if Syd hadnt lost it. Nobody ever got to find out. They've achieved everything else, but this is the one thing that will always elude them.
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon.... though down this road we've been so many times - even though we know we should concentrate on the future, theres that thing in the past, that coulda/woulda/should-a, the one thing you didnt do that could have changed the course of everything. And we've gone over it time and time and time again over so many years and put it to bed and it keeps coming back like a bad dream. The grass was always greener, the air was always sweeter, we had all our friends around us, that time was perfect, and it will be forever and ever because it is now a sealed moment in time that cant be changed.
Dont anyone tell me Polly doesnt know how to write meaningful song lyrics. That s***t right there ^^^^ is world class lyricism. I dont give a flying one what any of the Roger fanboys think. This songs holds its own more than capably against a vast majority of the Floyd canon of works.
I agree wholeheartedly. And I do believe that the "bust" in the video IS Syd...
@@guidosarducci yep, I think so too. Its impossible to overstate Barratt's impact on them all, it really is.
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.
Must must must see the live "Pulse" version of this.
Never apologize about the way the music makes you feel lol, its the point of music and theres no way you can be wrong
tHE 'LIVE' VERSION FROM THE MELTDOWN CONCERT IS MORE INTIMATE.ACOUSTIC GUITAR & cello & violin. I THINK THIS WAS ONE OF Dave's solo shows....$ there's some lovely work by his backup singers. From 2006 I believe. Also...I THINK HIS WIFE WROTE THE LYRICS
Your reaction is interesting, and I am impressed with your English and your use of complex/correct words in lieu of simple words.
I would recommend having the lyrics available as Pink Floyd songs generally have complex lyrics that make more sense when you can see them and recognize the content of lyrics within the song.
I strongly suggest you react to 'Echoes " by Pink Floyd, the "Live at Pompeii " version from the 70s is particularly good
the song for me is about growing up fast and realizing how fast the time is rolling. i see me in that song. i lived in a similar place and had similar experiences. :) nice reaction
I always want to cry when I hear it.
I hope you have a look at the band YES. Saying that I am a big Pink Floyd fan.A song that reflects on the passage of time and the fleeting nature of life.Cheers and stay safe young lady.
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."
Genial gracias ❤
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 !!
To me, this song is about the loss of the hopes of youth. Not just childhood, but early adulthood. We have so much in front of us, so much promise, as do our friends, who are as dazzling and beautiful as we are. And somehow, through the passage of time, we lose sight of all this, the promise is lost, we burn our bridges ('Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us'), and we look back, where the grass seemed greener, everything seemed more wonderful and hopeful. And now we are older and we think of those friends and times we have lost, and the unfulfilled hopes and dreams.
For me Pink Floyd never disappoints. Even when I listen to songs I first don't have strong feelings for they almost always grow on me after more listenings. That was also teh case for the album Diviosn Bell. I think it was released in the early/mid 90s and it was only years later I started to add it to my l playlist. The rewarding part of listening to Pink Floyd for me is that eventually "I get" it and from then on I love the song or album.
THE LIVE AT POMPEII...DAVID GILMOUR...EPIC LIVE VERSION...LIVE PULSE VERSION IS VERY GOOD TOO👍👍👍
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.
The Firm - "Satisfaction Guaranteed"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Paul Rogers(Bad Company) vocals
Jimmy Page(Led Zeppelin) guitar
great song but the tribure (cover) of Nightwish is incredible ;). You should take a look at !
Great use of the lap steele by David
I don't know why but i never heard this song . Cant say its one favorite songs.
But u Inna hava a great day ❤.
Pulse version is great also Coming back to life is amazing as well
You are correct.The track harks back to the band’s early day in Cambridge.
Nightwish do a fantastic version of this one, with Marko on vocals. Highly recommended.
In a. It’s about growing from childhood to adulthood and looking back at lost chances.
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.
David Gilmour - High Hopes Live in Gdansk ;-)
❤ 🎶 👏👏👏
You really need headphones to hear all of the elements properly, everything sounds better and clearer.
Ciao Inna! Tu sei una Certezza ❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
No versions of High Hopes compares to Nightwish' End of Era 2005 tribute to Pink Floyd's High Hopes.
You must listen to the pulse concert version!!
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.
My take on the video is that it's surreal from the point of view of an adult,
but normal from a child's point of view (everything's bigger, newer and
more amazing when you're a kid), demonstrating the essential disconnect from both.
If you do watch the Pulse live version,please watch the whole concert,you will love it.
"Hello?"
"Yeah?"
"Is that Charlie?"
"Yes."
"Hello, Charlie."
*phone hangs up*
"Great."
😆
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.
Possibly the most English song ever written.
Listen to Grandchester Meadows on Ummagumma 👍👍
Check out *Sorrow* from the Pulse concert, you're gonna love the lyrics.
I recomend High Hopes cover by Nightwish or metalcore band from Germany Caliban
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
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 :)
The idea of the video is really to be surreal and convey this "onirica" image.
LIVE LIVE ….YES you can hit anything from the pulse concert and strike gold.
