Ray Wilson | High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover) (official 2021 video)

The year “Song for a friend” album was released everywhere. In February 2016 the original idea for the album title still was "Backseat Drivers”. It was supposed to be a double album: one disc with acoustic music and a second one with a "rockier electric side". At the eleventh hour the decision was to split the two, in order to give the acoustic part (the one which would become the "Song for a Friend” album) the attention it deserves. Released in June 2016, it was followed in September of the same year, by the “rock part" as a stand-alone new album called "Makes Me Think of Home”. “Song for a friend”, with its ten unreleased acoustic tracks, includes as closing number, a well-known gem: a stripped-unplugged cover of the amazing Pink Floyd's "High Hopes”, which ends the album, exactly as happened in Floyd’s 1994 “The Division Bell”. A fan favorite, with a stunning Uwe guitar solo, presented here by a new 2021 (sort of) video, to accompany you in a beautiful and “Floydian” journey, in order to celebrate the "5th anniversary" of a very important and beloved album. “Forever and ever”... #raywilson #pinkfloyd #highhopes #pinkfloydcover #songforafriend #newvideo Post and video production by Luca Blukaos Biondi
