That's really strange!  Roy Harper wrote the lyrics to "Hope" and gave
them to David Gilmour for his album.  He says that David Gilmour wrote
the music for the song, but decided not to put it on his album because
he didn't think he could sing the lyrics with the proper conviction.  So
Roy decided to put it on his own album instead.  Maybe he didn't know
that Pete Townsend also worked on the music....
