    I'm a musician and have been since I was 11. A few years into playing the guitar, my dad sat me down in the living room, and put this (on cassette) into the home stereo and cranked it up. He walked me through every little nuance and detail of the instrument parts and how they were all contributing to the song in such a profound way. It was perhaps the most valuable lesson in the value of song arrangement I ever got. He died in 2014 at 70 years old. This song has been a go-to for me ever since.

Reflecting back to my teen self, holding my Steve Winwood cassette tape that had just arrived in our family mailbox from my Columbia House music subscription, I never would have predicted in my lifetime that I will see him perform live in an arena. I encourage everyone reading to go buy tickets to Steve Winwood in an effort to show Steve how truly valued he is as an impactful and phenomenal artist from our beloved 80's. His shows need to reach Sold Out status! 20 concerts: July 30 - August 30, 2024.

    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 you're born to run it's so hard to just slow down
    So don't be surprised to see me back in the bright part of town
    I'll be back in the high life again
    All the doors I closed one time will open up again
    I'll be back in the high life again
    All the eyes that watched me once, will smile and take me in
    You used to be the best to make life be life to me
    And I hope that you're still out there and you're like you used to be
    We'll have ourselves a time
    And we'll dance till the morning sun And we'll let the good times come in And we won't stop till we're done We'll be back in the high life again All the doors I closed one time will open up again
    We'll be back in the high life again All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
    And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
    And have the world so easily
    And oh we'll be a sight to see
    Back in the high life again
    High life High life In the high life again
    We'll be back in the high life again All the doors I closed one time will open up again
    We'll be back in the high life again All the eyes that watched us once, will smile and take us in
    And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
    And have the world so easily
    And oh we'll be a sight to see
    Back in the high life again
    High life (back in the high life)
    Oh we'll be back

At 15, he sounded like Ray Charles and could play the piano like no one else, and put "Gimme Some Lovin'" and "I'm a Man" on the charts. The Beatles, the Stones, Clapton and all the Brit bands were like, "Who is this kid?" He plays something like 13 instruments, and singlehandledly made the Hammond B3 organ a rock instrument. Have you heard his band Traffic? Wayyy ahead of their time. His 80s stuff is commercial to make a buck, but it's really not who he is. He's a bona fide legend.
