Ο Salvador Dali, ο Kush & οι Pink Floyd

Το "High Hopes" είναι το επιλογικό άσμα του "The Division Bell" (1994) και γενικότερα της δισκογραφικής καριέρας των Pink Floyd. Είναι σύνθεση του David Gilmour σε στίχους του ιδίου και της γυναίκας του (Polly Samson). Απολαύστε το σε δύο βίντεο: στο πρώτο "ντυμένο" με πίνακες του Salvador Dali και στο δεύτερο με έργα του Vladimir Kush...

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 to 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

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

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
