the second sentence needs some work. it appears as if two people wrote it.
Have edited the bit linking this song to Fat Old Sun. The latter is a very generic 'summery' piece and is not really autobiographical about Gilmour in anyway. At no point in FOS does Gilmour mention any specific place or person (other than himself)
The bell in this sounds to me as if it runs the entire length of the song, not just the beginning and end. It seems to just become somewhat overshadowed by the louder other instruments. G. 15:13, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
The same drumbeat as in Bring the Boys Back Home is used in part of the song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.253.167.142 ( talk) 16:11, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
I think there should be a mention about how the part from 2:56 - 3:47 is reminiscent of several other Pink Floyd songs. Just offhand I can hear "Welcome to the Machine" and the drums are from something on The Wall.

The Gilmour interview with Redbeard is (I think, not having listened to all of it) at http://www.inthestudio.net/, but as an audio track. Can one cite audio tracks, or is listening OR? Occuli ( talk) 20:41, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Pink Floyd manager, Steve O'Rourke, who lobbied to be included on one of the group's albums, appears at the end with Gilmour's stepson, Charlie, who hangs up a telephone on O'Rourke. original research?
The beginning of "High Hopes" is reminiscent of another of his songs, " Fat Old Sun", from the Pink Floyd album Atom Heart Mother. Bells chime at the beginning of both pieces, for example. original research?
The bird sounds and fly buzzing can also be traced back to " Grantchester Meadows", a song from the 1969 Pink Floyd album, Ummagumma, written by Roger Waters. original research?
The song features a short guitar tacet, musically similar to a section of " Welcome to the Machine", from approximately 2:57 - 3:48. original research?
This being the very last song that Pink Floyd has written to date (and its placement at the end of their last album of new material to date) lends itself to the interpretation that the song narrates the story of the band's career, from their beginnings to their grandiose success (with The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall) to their breakup to their carrying on. The final line ("The endless river, forever and ever") ties into one of the band's first hits, " See Emily Play" ("Float on a river, forever and ever"). original research?
The last line of the song, "Forever and ever", is pretty clearly a pre-recording in the live version seen on the Pulse DVD. After the second-to-last lyric, "The endless river", after 5:10 on the DVD, we see Gilmour step away from his microphone stand and get seated behind his lap steel guitar while the last line plays. I think I could just put that last sentence verbatim into the article. So I'm going to. I just want it understand that this is not an implication that Gilmour was unable to sing the lyric live; he's not a poor singer by any means. It was just a question of logistics. If anything, to me it makes the performance MORE magical, to have synched-up recordings play during the song. Just like Roger Waters used pre-recorded "echoes" in songs like "Stop" and other Wall songs. I think it's extremely cool.
