High Hopes (Pink Floyd song)
}}
"High Hopes" is the eleventh and final track from the 1994 Pink Floyd album ''The Division Bell'', composed by David Gilmour with lyrics by Gilmour and Polly Samson. Its lyrics speak of the things one may have gained and lost in life, written from Gilmour's autobiographic perspective. Gilmour has said that the song is more about his early days, and leaving his hometown behind, than about the seeds of division supposedly planted in Pink Floyd's early days. Douglas Adams, a friend of Gilmour, chose the album title from one verse in this song. Live versions are featured on ''Pulse'', ''Remember That Night'' and ''Live in Gdańsk''. On ''Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd'', a somewhat shortened version of the song segues into Syd Barrett's "Bike". The segue is accomplished by cutting from the church bell at the end of "High Hopes" to a new bicycle bell sound effect before "Bike" begins. A 7-inch vinyl version of the single was released on a transparent record.
The final couplet from the song ("The endless river/Forever and ever") recalls a line from the band's second single, "See Emily Play", from 1967, ("Float on a river/Forever and ever")〔http://1037theloon.com/pink-floyd-set-to-release-new-album-this-fall/〕 and inspired the name of their final studio album, ''The Endless River'', released in 2014.
==Composition==
The song is mostly in the key of C minor, and features the sound of a church bell chiming a 'C' throughout, except for a short section in the middle where the song briefly modulates into E minor for a guitar solo. Shortly after the song ends and the chimes fade out, a phone call between Pink Floyd manager Steve O'Rourke and Gilmour's son is briefly sampled, concluding the album.
