LYRICS:
Do I hear what I think I'm hearing/ do I see the signs I think I see/ or is this just fantasy/ is it true that the beast is waking/ stirring in his restless sleep tonight/ in the pale moonlight/ in the grip of this cold December/ you and I have reason to remember// Soldiers write the songs/ that soldiers sing/ the songs that you and I don't sing/ they blow their horns/ and march along/ they drum their drums/ and look so strong/ you'd think that nothing/ in the world was wrong/ soldier write the songs/ that soldiers sing/ the songs that you and I won't sing/ let's not look the other way/ taking a chance/ 'cause if the bugle starts to play/ we too must dance// What's that sound/ what's that dreadful rumble/ won't somebody tell me what I hear/ in the distance but drawing near/ is it only a storm approaching/ all that thunder and the blinding light/ in the winter night/ in the grip of this cold December/ you and I have reason to remember// Soldiers write the songs/ that soldiers sing/ the songs that you and I don't sing/ they blow their horns/ and march along/ they drum their drums/ and look so strong/ you'd think that nothing/ in the world was wrong/ soldiers write the songs/ that soldiers sing/ the songs that you and I won't sing/ let's not look the other way/ taking a chance/ 'cause if the bugle starts to play/ we too must dance//

Steve Winwood - Higher Love
Here are the lyrics again incase
its too fast/slow.
Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, Ill look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?
Worlds are turning and were just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and its real to me
There must be someone whos feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love
I will wait for it
Im not too late for it
Until then, Ill sing my song
To cheer the night along
Bring it...oh bring it...
I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?
Enjoy !

 | Steve Winwood - Back In The High Life Again
Tags: Music, Video
Description:
The title track from Steve Winwood's 1986 Award winning album "Back In The High Life".
-According to co-writer Will Jennings.. "We wrote those songs in the fall of '84, and it was a long spell before he got in the studio in New York. We had 'Higher Love' and several other songs, including 'The Finer Things.' And then it was toward the end of my stay over there and we still needed some other songs. I had 'Back in the High Life Again' in this book that I carry with me of titles. I pulled that out and I suddenly found the rest of the song, and I wrote that in about 30 minutes, and left it with Steve to put a melody to. So this is in '84. And then I went back to California, and it was a year, I guess, before he went in the studio, sometime in '85. I called one day and talked to Russ Titelman who was producing the album. They were doing it in New York. I asked him how it was going, and he said, 'Oh it's going great.' He said 'Higher Love' came out great and 'The Finer Things.' I asked him how 'Back In The High Life' would come out. There was this little pause, and he said, 'Steve hasn't shown me that song.' So turns out that Steve had not written the music to it yet and he at that time was going through a divorce. And because of the divorce, his wife got everything in the house, this big house in England. So he came up from London and went out to this house, which he still lives in and he had for years before he was married, and everything was gone, except there was a mandolin over in the corner of the living room. It was winter and it was dreary. He went over and picked up the mandolin, and he already had the words in his head, and that's when he wrote the melody. He went back and not only cut a big hit which still is played so much today, but it was the title track of the album. And if I hadn't asked about it, it would have just gone by, so that's one that was saved at the last minute. You just need to get the feel of what they want to do, where they're coming from and what their life has been. The soulfulness comes into writing the truth of the singer. If you're writing with or particularly for a singer, you try to get inside them."
-Singer/ songwriter James Taylor provided background vocal.
-The video was shot at the Southern Rail station in Manassas Virginia
-The late Warren Zevon did a low-key, acoustic cover of this song on his 2000 album Life'll Kill Ya.

It used to seem to me
That my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly
Just to make the good parts last
But when youre born to run
Its so hard to just slow down
So dont be surprised to see me
Back in that bright part of town
Ill be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
Ill be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once will smile and take me in
And Ill drink and dance with one hand free
Let the world back into me
And on Ill be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
You used to be the best
To make life be life to me
And I hope that youre still out there
And youre like you used to be
Well have ourselves a time
And well dance til the morning sun
And well let the good times come in
And we wont stop til were done
Well be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
Well be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And well drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh well be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
Well be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
Well be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And well drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh well be a sight to see
Back in the high life again

Talking Back to the Night ~
High above the heat of a summer New York street
An out-of-work musician plays a solo saxophone
He's a preacher and a teacher
And he stands up all alone
Stranded in the dark of a vision in the park
A poet in his madness tries to find another line
And he's losing and he's using
And he says he's doing fine
And they look from such a height
That somehow it's all right
They're talking back to the night
It's all that they can do
Talking back to the night
It's how they make it through
If you listen you can hear them
Their voices draw you near them
They're talking back to the night for you
Something seems to take every dime the man can make
His dream is getting smaller and he wonders where to turn
And he's trying hard to make it
And he's trying not to burn
Woman never minds, pulls the shade and draws the blinds
She takes him in the darkness where the loneliest can feed
She gives him all she has to
And it's no more than he needs
~~~
The amazing talent of Steve Winwood has been reflected by his many years of quailty singing and song writing. At the age of 15 Steve became a member of the Spencer Davis Group, and he co-wrote and recorded "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man" before leaving to form Traffic with Chris Wood, Jim Capaldi and Dave Mason. During the late-1960s, Winwood and Mason became close friends of Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix first heard "All Along the Watchtower" at a party he was invited to by Mason; they recorded the Hendrix version later that night in a London recording studio.
Steve formed Blind Faith in 1969 with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Rick Grech. The band was short-lived, due to Clapton's greater interest in Blind Faith's opening act Delaney & Bonnie & Friends: Clapton left the band after the tour had ended. However, Baker, Winwood and Grech stayed together to form Ginger Baker's Air Force.
With a number of amazing solo albums and wonderful musical relationships including working with: Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Howlin' Wolf, B. B. King, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Eddie Boyd, Otis Spann, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, just to name a few...he continues bringing us wonderful new music. Watch for the release of a new studio album, "Nine Lives," which is scheduled for release on April 29, 2008.
