For today’s QUARANTUNE I’ve chosen another Steve Winward song. An all-time British favourite singer of mine going back to the days when he was part of the Spencer Davis group. He put out barely a poor song and wrote many himself. Note how similar this song is to one that came later, Free Fallin’ by Tom Petty. Great video!
Just check out some of the words:
“…my life ran on too fast…”.
Let’s hope we’ll all be back in the high life again soon, and perhaps with a different perspective on what really matters:
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 againHigh life
Oh, we’ll be back
