    Genius , legend, visionary, hero and an absolute fantastic musician. One of the few musicians me and my children all adore.

    One of my favorite 80's song. Just a perfect song

    Winwood is in his mid-late 60s here, yet his voice hasn't aged at all. Plus - damn him! -he has all his hair! The only thing better than his genes is his musical talent. Steve's been pumping out hits since his teens and has a rock-solid body of great tunes he can proudly call his own. And his voice holds up beautifully and smoothly. I never thought about it, but the comments about him being among the most underrated musicians are right on.

    Just had brain surgery. I’m a runner. Looking for hope and inspiration. This song by Steve did it. ..
    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 that bright part of town
    I’m back… in the High Life. Thanks Steve. I have more appreciation than I can write down in words…

    Steve gave me .....in my teens breathing room and common sense understanding love in a time of not feeling any unconditional from my own mother and family

    This is indeed a, "Blue Eyed Soul Brother"! You get my drift. Truly, a gifted man that has shared his musical genius with us for many years. Well done Steve.

    I was playing this cd in my car when I left Virginia for Florida 1986, just played in in my Jeep over Memorial Day in Virginia with my mom headed to Arlington Cemetery to pay respects to my brother.
    Song has so much meaning!!
    after a year and a half of not spending time with family we are back in the high life again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This song alone puts him in the pantheon of great non-electric instrumentalists of the last 50 years. He could go on a bluegrass tour tommorow and not be out of place. And if that wasn't enough, he's also a master of synth.

    @TheEleatic 6 ปีที่แล้ว +85

    Truly, one of the greatest multi-instrumentalists, composers, vocalists, and lyricists of his generation. Up there with Sting, Gabriel, Townsend...

      Yes, Steve is the true king of melody and songwriting (as well as a very decent guitarist and even better organist)!
      But I don't think he's underestimated that much... in my generation (I was born in the early 60s) he's very well known and appreciated, if not even loved, on German radio his songs came every day, especially in his very famous Rock/Pop period in the 80's-90's. Today, yes, he may not be so well known for his brilliant music (no wonder when you see the rubbish music a lot of young people listen to, it's all big light shows and rap dance and veeery expensive live concerts). .. Anyway, WE know that S. Winwood just makes very, very good music that brings beautiful melodies and good vibes to us... my heart, what more could you ask for? ✌

    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 that 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
    And I'll drink and dance with one hand free
    Let the world back into me and on I'll 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 you're still out there and you're like you used to be
    We'll have ourselves a time
    And we'll dance 'til the morning sun
    And we'll let the good times come in
    And we won't stop 'til 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
    Back 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
