high hopes lyrics meaning
(High, high hopes)
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
(High, high hopes)
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
Mama said
Fulfill the prophecy
Be something greater
Go make a legacy
Manifest destiny
Back in the days
We wanted everything
Wanted everything
(High, high hopes)
Mama said
Burn your biographies
Rewrite your history
Light up your wildest dreams
Museum victories, every day
We wanted everything, wanted everything
Mama said, don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
(High, high hopes)
Mama said
It's uphill for oddities
Stranger crusaders
Ain't ever wannabes
The weird and the novelties
Don't ever change
We wanted everything, wanted everything
(High, high hopes)
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down, oh
Stay up on that rise
Stay up on that rise and never come down
Mama said, don't give up, it's a little complicated
All tied up, no more love and I'd hate to see you waiting
They say it's all been done but they haven't seen the best of me-e-e-e
So I got one more run and it's gonna be a sight to see-e-e-e
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
(High, high hopes)
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
(High, high hopes)
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Shooting for the stars when I couldn't make a killing
Didn't have a dime but I always had a vision
Always had high, high hopes
Had to have high, high hopes for a living
Didn't know how but I always had a feeling
I was gonna be that one in a million
Always had high, high hopes
(High, high hopes)
Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour wrote and produced this song. Production-wise, Gilmour worked with Bob Ezrin. In penning this song, Gilmour received assistance from another writer named Polly Samson. Both Gilmour and Samson are therefore the official writers of “High Hopes”.
This song came out on 28 March 1994 as part of Pink Floyd’s album “The Division Bell”, where it also served as that project’s second single. And the labels that put it out are EMI Records and Columbia Records.
The outro of this track is a snippet of a telephone conversation between “Charlie”, David Gilmour’s stepson and Steve O’Rourke, Pink Floyd’s manager. And basically Charlie cuts the line, i.e. hangs up the phone, while Steve is still speaking.
“High Hopes” made it onto the UK Singles Chart as well as Billboard’s Album Rock Tracks listing. The song also charted in Canada and France.
Panic! at the Disco also has a 2018 song titled “High Hopes“. Many have said the band was inspired by this Pink Floyd classic in coming up with the title of their aforementioned track. We are not hundred percent sure about this!
