"High Hopes" is a song that was recorded by American musicians Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band during their 1995 Greatest Hits sessions and eventually released on the Blood Brothers (EP) in 1996.
The song was written and originally recorded in 1985 by Tim Scott McConnell.
[2] I was working on a record of some of our best unreleased material from the past decade when Tom Morello (sitting in for Steve [Van Zandt] during the Australian leg of our [Wrecking Ball Tour] tour) suggested we ought to add "High Hopes" to our live set.
I had cut "High Hopes," a song by Tim Scott McConnell of the LA based Havalinas, in the 90′s.
We worked it up in our Aussie rehearsals and Tom then proceeded to burn the house down with it.
