"High Hopes" is a song , composed by guitarist David Gilmour with lyrics by Gilmour and Polly Samson. It was released as the second single from their eleventh studio album, The Division Bell (1994), on 17 October 1994.
The lyrics refer to the band's early days in Cambridge, specifically before they started making music and it also references ex-bandmate Syd Barrett. 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
