Alan Parsons Project, The - Standing On Higher Ground Lyrics
I know the truth
But I can't say
And I have to turn my head
And look the other way
And I won't lie
As long as I see no wrong
I won't need to testify
I see the world
And I'm looking from a high place
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground
I breathe the air
race
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground
I feel the blow
But I don't speak
And I have to close my eyes
Pretending I'm asleep
Well I see the tears
But I don't cry
As long as I do no wrong
I don't need an alibi
I see the world
And I'm looking from a high place
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground
I breathe the air
While they're running in a rat
race
Way above it all
Standing on higher ground

Alan Parsons Project, The Standing On Higher Ground Comments
Disgusted about how low the views are...
Bob Lazar! Temon!
It's about time (no pun intended) that Alan Parsons was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. He certainly deserves it!
The 80's were something else. The music rocked by the decade was jacked up! Go figure!
Turn the volume up, listen to this loud, and enjoy!!! Fantastic song!
I love all the easter eggs on the smaller screens.
That Bank of America shot kinda tells you what this song is really about.
Por algún motivo todo su proyecto fue bien recibido por mis oídos. Lo demás, un escalon mas abajo para mi.
Love the song, even as edited here. However, this video, even with the in jokes, is atrocious.
This video sort of reminds me of the yes video.for owner of a lonely heart
But this one is a better tune
@Carrie G. everyone is entitled to there own opinion personally both groups yes and the Alan Parsons project wrote and recorded and produced alot of the music of thec80s
9 eleven b4 it's time 💕
it still is lol
Jerry Seinfeld acting test 😆
Such a great band! It's not from my era and I wasn't even introduced to it by parents but I love it regardless. I guess good music is good music! :)
at least you have good taste era or not
Did anybody else notice the Vulture Culture logo and "Let's Talk About Me" video on the other monitors?
1:42 Nine years later, a solo album devoted to hot air balloons and other forms of aviation. :)
Very interesting that across APP videos, so many people say "my dad used to play APP" -- just because, to help his kid to not be afraid, because APP was dad's favorite, and many others. And then they say something like "what would I be without him having done that," and "thanks, dad."
I all puffed up to know that I am one of those dads.
Tell you what. If my kid doesn't pass it on to his kids (I think he will), his pops sure as shit will.
Great song and cool video...
He knows hes the best in rock music
If you're listening to this, Higher ground you're already on!
This video portrayed the future of confusion we now live in.
Just heard this on WXRT Saturday morning flashback. Couldn’t remember who it was.
I breathe the air while their running in a rat race.
Lyrics to inspire! LOL
What a masterpiece.
I can,t stop watching this.
Gaudi sounds incredible on my Marantz CD 5005!LOL
Fantastic album
Fantastic song
What more could you want! LOL
This isnt even close to his best. However WOWWW. Rigjt?
Remember this one- great!
The song is lyrically masterful and the composition magical, but video is a nose dive...
Great music.
hows bout just say "its pretty good music" because it is
binary lol
I believe they were strictly a studio band when they started...
why do I feel I'm hearing vitamin z in this song?
My favorite song of lifetime!
Too bad they don't do this in concert. It would be killer...
Alan Parsons in México june 2018. Great concert!
great lyrics by obi wan
O ator do vídeo-clip é parente do Joe Namath ?
novela corpo Santo na rede manchete 88 o ano senão me engano...cena final
yestarday for no reason this song started turning in my head after years, and I am now here.
oh, wait, it was something else, "dancing on the highwire". why am I even here? youtube recommended videos.
you just heard my inner voice. thanks for watching.
Why does this guy resemble Fred Armisen
The Singer is Geoff Barradale of the great new wave band "Vitamin Z"
MrTrancemission I love his voice!
Listen more of this great and particular voice with this tracks "Circus Ring" and "Burning Flame"
Thank you very much for the suggestion :)
OMG, really? The man behind "Don't Stop and Listen to His Music" and "Burning Flame"? I love that song. Thank you for enlightening me. Two beautiful worlds in my life come together. ❤️
And "Burning Flame" was such a damn good tune, they released it on both of their albums! "Circus Ring" is in my Top 10 all-time favorite songs, ever!
Que tema más bueno
This is the bald guy from kingsman
Forgot this song,, but it gave a prelude to the future!!
I have the higher ground anakin
I choose not to run with the rats.
LO ESCUCHE EN MAYO DE 1987
1:28 - Meu Deus do céu, onde que eu tô, será que eu tô em alagoinha?
There's a guy at my school that looks like him... i'm gonna ask him of this is his dad 😂
the commercial right before the vid, Purple protector mattress thing w/ Big Foots Family was GREAT...just like APP
I think Mr Alan Parsons knew something back then that I have begun to realize.
When you do a homework the last day
The song of Obi Wan Kenobi.
"The Kenobi Song"
Glad I'm not the only one to think so
_Oh man i was looking for this coment!!_
@Sergio Hernández HEW HEW me too
Probably rocks this in his starfighter
Plus some of there videos were pretty innovative
I love there musical styles it was so inventive and some off there songs were good lyrics and good singers
that was what made them stand out...they employed great singers...
This song sort of sounds like a mix between Queen and George Michael, I really like it a lot
Eric is now standing on higher ground
I lost my wife to cancer and her favorite was Alan Parson. His songs speak to a higher place that most people can envision.
Lisa this is not the platform for advertising!!!!!! :(
am i part of this project ? cuz if not y do i understand sum what whats going on ?
So, Are you Old and Wise, Standing on Higher ground, Step by Step with a Eye in the Sky? Don't answer me!
Beautiful music, very 80's kind of video. Also, the 80's type of tech is all over the place! Nice... But I think this Gaudi album was the last album before the Freudiana. This album is sad, after Gaudi album, Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson got seperated. If they continued, they could keep working and produce more nice songs.
Eric y. Parsons. grandesss
Doesn't get much better than APP
its hard being alone ived been there many years and depressed even though im healthy but its the excessive gambling and alcohol that got to me but this song is hot
Hang in there buddy. The music brings back memories of better times. Take care my friend.
Sintonía de las noticias de RNE 1 en los 80
Y del París-Dakar de esa misma época.
Looks like Luke Wilson
Did you know that this is a young Jason Lee portraying Antonio Gaudi/the editor in this video? At least I think it is.
Steven Kostis who is Jason Lee? I'm trying to search him up, but i can't find him
My favourite Alan Parsons song but there are so many others I love. Bring back the 80's if only for a day. Great, great times.
These are the true colors of the Congress President!!!
So Rahul Gandhi Gives sonia Gandhi sexual favours ;)
I love that my dad would play App growing up and I have my kids listen to them now. This is always been one of my favourite songs.
So cute and funny hearing my 7yo sing psychobabble lol.
Great album after great album after great album. And on each album, great song after great song after great song. I've listened to APP music for decades, and I simply never get tired of hearing this wonderful music. I've purchased their music many times over (original LPs, then cds, then expanded cds, and some legacy editions. But the amount of entertainment and enjoyment I've received has made this a great investment.
I was so sad when Eric Woolfson passed away, as his death meant the end of APP. But he has left behind the gift of his genius. And Alan Parson still tours, giving us all a chance to hear this fantastic music live.
Goddess Bless my parents for raising me on APP from the day I was born! Vulture Culture came out the year I was born, and love all of Alan, Eric and the amazing contributing musicians and singers' contributions made to each and every album....and critics said they'd never amount to anything memorable when Tales of Mystery and Imagination came out...how wrong they were, and how glad I am they were!
:) I was at university.
I listened to this song in the 80's love it to this day.. I have it on cassette. still sounds great! thanks bro---
gosto muito.
Bill Almeida Ferreira novela da rede manchete nos anos 80 tocava essa música
gusto mo ito hahaha 😂😂😂......oo gusto ko to 👍👍👍
This man really knows how to produce music not only his but other bands also
Yeah I was amazed how I never knew until recently he produced for pink floyd as well, amazing. Criminally underated.
I've never actually seen this video. Meta hacker or metaphor for ...?
Alan is pure genius !!❤️💋🎶🎧🎹🎸🎼🎤
Temazo!!!!
Great song by Alan!!!
boybblue Eric Woolfson
That's the Tron building! (Downtown LA)
Geoff Barradale !
Bring back the Eighties.
Paul Kersey the moronic kids of today wouldn't know what to.do when they listen to this
APP is just glorified 80's movie soundtrack music. Blech. Why did I give it a second chance? Stupid me.
Been a fan of the APP since 1977!!! They never disappoint!
Over 48 thousand views and just over 2 hundred likes? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! This is a masterpiece!
the video never got any push. unless u get lucky u wont even get this recommended in your account
1.3k :)
The landscapes from this video and the great synthesizer musical combination, makes a perfect theme song and the talent from Alan Parsons... just authentic.
APP Rule!!
Another masterpiece for us to enjoy!!
Steve Wiindwood
indietro nel tempo ma avanti nel tempo
I was like 12 when I first I heard APP and immediately fell in love. Got all records. I didn't know english yet. It just had grabbed me. They are so special!
@Yuzukhane I had the same feelings)) It's forever
off topik...commodore power! xD
Alan Parsons Project Is a well known group in the United States. Alan Parsons was also a producer, the most notable and successful album he produced was Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon. He also did engineering work on The Beatles Abby Road. The man knew his music, especially the electronically composed mishmash of pop/rock/progressive/disco/new wave/etc. that Parsons and company recorded. Their work in the late 1970s and early 80s was a precursor to New Wave music. Great talents
+Yuzukhane Music is an International language ;) Greetings from Poland
I was also 12 in 1987 when this came out! So Moving!
Que temaso, por favor !!!!!!!!!!
Very cool song - remember hearing it as a 15-year old in early 1987!
One if my favorite APP songs. RIP Eric Woolfson.
Excellent music...
Wow !! It seems a science fiction movie !!
Ian Bairnson - the best guitarist you never heard of.
