High Hopes is actually not that great on The Division Bell, sure it's a great song but that particular studio treatment is wanting. There are several live performances that are much more soulful and bring out the true beauty of the track. The same can be said about Sorrow the studio track is flat, the live versions are spectacular.
High Hopes is easily one of the best Floyd tracks, plus the lyrics are not shall we say simplistic as most Roger Waters stuff.
