Was excited to see this yesterday. Would have been nice if they could have gotten Roger involved as well, but still. New Floyd music always a good thing!

I still find it hard to comprehend Pink Floyd continuing without Roger Waters but it is what it is.

Not to mention the deceased Richard Wright. With Mason being the only original member (Gilmour coming along to rescue the band after Syd checked-out), and Waters being... Waters... I'm not sure if the present lineup is truly The Pink Floyd Sound. 

I'm not stating that to disparage Gilmour and Mason; just making an observation. 

With that being said -- I've always loved this  version of A Saucerful of Secrets, in its original title Massed Gadgets of Hercules ( "Rick's Rave-Up" and "Nick's Boogie" ) :

Great post!

My favorites are 

Obscured By Clouds and Animals. 

They did a sound track for the movie MORE, on it is a decent song called Ibiza Bar. I think this came out before Dark Side of The Moon.

"If In 1983 a friend of mine in high school had a bootleg vhs tape of the film "The Wall", we watched it over 100 times that year. That as well as the movie "A Clockwork Orange" were my favorite movies back then...yes, I was a troubled youth back then.

I've been watching interviews with each band member individually discussing Syd Barrett.

"High Hopes" is a song by English rock band Pink Floyd, composed by guitarist David Gilmour with lyrics by Gilmour and Polly Samson. It is the closing track on their fourteenth studio album, The Division Bell (1994); it was released as the second single from the album on 17 October 1994. An accompanying music video was made for the song and was directed by Storm Thorgerson.

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. The bell was taken from a sound effects record.

The lyrics refer to the band's early days in Cambridge, specifically before they started making music. 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.

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"); it inspired the name of their final studio album, The Endless River, released in 2014. Shortly after the song ends and the chimes fade out is a hidden track comprising a brief phone call between the band's manager Steve O'Rourke and Gilmour's son Charlie. This concludes The Division Bell.
