I've been extremely conflicted, trying to decide what song to pick. There are so many great songs out there. I laid down a couple of rules for myself:

1. Must be an original....I eliminated my favorite Zeppelin tune, All Along the Watchtower (Jimi's version) with this one.

2. It must have lyrical significance. There are great, great songs that aren't very deep. I wanted to pick something that is both musically and lyrically genius. That's not to say those other songs aren't just as good. They just don't fit for my pick here.

In the end, I chose this song over several other great songs....like Supertramp's School, Elton John's Funeral For a Friend & Indian Sunset, Dave Matthews Band's Don't Drink the Water (this song made a strong push which surprised me), several Pearl Jam tunes, MotherLoveBone's Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns and the great Alice In Chains' Love Hate Love.

So without further adieu, AliceLoveGarden is proud to select in the SONG category, from Pink Floyd's most underrated album, The Division Bell....HIGH HOPES.

So many Floyd fans don't give this album (or any post-Waters album) a fair shake. I think it's brilliant. Some of Gilmour's best stuff. This is also, without a doubt, one of the greatest music videos ever made. I absolutely adore every second of this song.
