"HIGH HOPES" (GILMOUR/SAMSON)
© 1994 PINK FLOYD MUSIC PUBLISHERS LIMITED

Lyrics:

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

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!

Well, Pink Floyd has been my favourite band for years, and this is one of the best covers I've ever heard of them. So many people are scared to change anything when they make a cover, you guys really made this version your own, and I LOVE that. This got me to check out some of your other stuff, and you've made a new fan!

[siahnaxalkal]

And by the way, i liked the voice more. Why? well, Metal is one thing, Progressive rock is another. Rock on baby!

[siahnaxalkal]

The song is called Brother where you bound by Supertramp,

[siahnaxalkal]

like this more than original since,1stly, i consider happenstance of Pink Floyd without Waters an un Floydish phenomenon. And echo-guitarization of a Base/Keyboard based band took its spirit away. Lyrics, compare Final Cut, Animals with where Gilmore exposed his anti communist nature. Communism is an ambition that cannnot be reduced or summed up with past failures. From Da Vinci up to Wilbur/Orville Wright there was a long way to pass. Gilmore did what? see this work of his w supertramp
