R.E.M. - I've Been High Lyrics






Have you seen?
Have not will travel
Have I missed the big reveal?
Do my eyes,
Do my eyes seem empty?
I've forgotten how this feels.

I've been high
I've climbed so high
The light, sometimes it washes over me.

Have you been?
Have done will travel
I fell down on me knees

Was I wrong?
I don't know, don't answer.
I just needed to believe.

I've been high
I've climbed so high
The light, sometimes it washes over me.

So I dive into a pool.
So cool and deep that if I sink I sink,
And when I swim I fly, so high.

What I want
All I really wanted
Just to live my life on high.

And I know
I know you want the same
I can see it in your eyes.

I've been high
I've climbed so high
The light, sometimes it washes over me.

Washes over me
I close my eyes
So I can see
Make my make believe, believe in me.

    Have you seen?

    Have I missed the big reveal?
    Do my eyes
    Do my eyes seem empty?
    I've forgotten how this feels

    I've been high
    I've climbed so high
    The light, sometimes it washes over me

    Have you been?
    Have done will travel
    I fell down on me knees
    Was I wrong?
    I don't know, don't answer
    I just needed to believe

    I've been high
    I've climbed so high

    This proves you cannot do one album of REM’s greatest hits without including around maybe 40 (at least) of their songs. All of them are awesome.

    G.... D....

    @Gary Donatelli You are very welcome :)))))

  33. H.... F....

    "I've Been High". Lovely piece from REM.
    The guitar is easy, and you can get high and sing along.

    Have you seen?
    Have not, will travel.
    Have I missed the big reveal?
    Do my eyes
    Do my eyes seem empty?
    I've forgotten how this feels.
    I've been high
    I've climbed so high
    but life sometimes
    it washes over me.
    Have you been?
    Have done, will travel.
    I fell down on my knees.
    Was I wrong?
    I don't know, don't answer.
    I just needed to believe.
    I've been high
    I've climbed so high
    but life sometimes
    it washes over me.
    So
    I dive into a pool so cool and deep that if I sink I sink
    and when I swim I fly so high
    What I want
    What I really want is
    Just to live my life on high.
    And I know
    I know you want the same
    I can see it in your eyes.
    I've been high
    I've climbed so high
    but life sometimes
    it washes over me.
    Washes over me
    Close my eyes so I can see
    make my make-believe believe
    in me.

    Did a couple hits off a pipe the other day, and it tore my head off. The shit these days is STRONG.
    Remember sitting on the floor in the bathroom thinking: "Okay, I gotta take out my contacts before hitting the sack but my body does not appear to be functioning worth a shit. Let's try to imagine the necessary movements and then magically create them."
    I imagined them.
    I created them.
    I got my contacts out.
    I said to myself: "Dude, you are SOOOO stoned!"

    @Amy ThreeDeer Baxter And grats on the Mary Jane. In the immortal words of the late Bill Hicks:
    "Outlawing a plant? That grows naturally everywhere? Isn't that like saying that God made a mistake?"

    H.... F....

    Michael always has attracted rumours of HIV etc, but I'm thinking he has a healthy diet and lifestyle at this point, and all of us would be much slimmer if we were present 100 years ago working the farm and such :)

    H.... F....

    @Carolyn Garza
    Michael is just COOL.  :D

    H.... F....

    Thank you and thanks to every person who put REM's lyrics on the comments

  34. M.... S....

    It's so beautiful I can hardly contain it.

  35. s.... s....

    To all who are searching🌈

    s.... s....

    stephen savioli thanks!

  36. S.... P....

    I really don't know what to say and very, very rarely comment.  I'm truly touched...perhaps even life changing.  Thank you heidigretel for posting but most importantly Michael, Mike, Peter, and Bill for essentially writing the stories of our lives...It's all encompassing.  Much love & gratitude.

    S.... P....

    Yes I also want to say thank you to Michael, Mike, Peter, and Bill. It's definitely life changing.😊🙏🙏🙏

  37. M.... S....

    Make my make-believe believe  in me

  38. d.... ....

    Massively underrated song. Stipe vocals on form!!

  39. W.... B....

    heard this for the first time on the r.e.m. facebook page today.... not sure how this song got past me...this version is awesome....the album version is too much "stuff"...

  40. s.... ....

    Absolutely breathtaking..., I'm speechless...

    s.... ....

    Maybe their best song ....?

  41. f.... ....

    I don't know if it's the song or the voice that makes me cry! The angels only wish they could sing like this.

    f.... ....

    I seen you post on another song! Lol is it YOU???

  42. b.... ....

    Amazing

  43. h.... ....

    you are very welcome ultimo.... :))))))

  44. U.... ....

    This song is a stunning masterpiece. It's the proof that show us that REM made brilliant songs also in their third decade. I've been high sounds like an a immediate classic, Thanks Heidi, this version is beatiful.

    U.... ....

    Brilliant.. Ha ha 😁 You are though!!!!😍😍😍 I love you.

  45. J.... R....

    One person needs to get high.

  46. h.... ....

    thank you :)))))

  47. D.... M....

    Very true, Prince. But Michael was more a novelist, a storyteller, writing music lyrics than anyone I can think of aside from Bob Dylan. They made great melodic music but those stories were often so strange, informative, always intelligent and they stay with me. Also I spent my teenage years in the American south so I identify with REM in that way. You have your reasons for thinking they're the best and I'll just say that you have excellent taste in music.

  48. P.... ....

    they're generally more melodic than anyone else, wouldn't you say? and that's the reason why they matter the most

  49. D.... M....

    An absolutely stunning performance of this most beautiful song. I go back to Beatles-era music and honestly there has never been a group, including The Beatles, whose music has meant anything even close to what REM's has meant to me. Can their record company please include this performance on any future retrospective cd?? The Reveal version is cluttered with needless electronica

  50. h.... ....

    hello - i have more songs from this performance. but performance also have interview and i find interviews not so interesting. in future maybe i upload entire performance :)))))))

  51. S.... ....

    I'm a new fan but a late one. Sad.

  52. j.... c....

    that smile.

  53. E.... M....

    Awesome

  54. h.... ....

    you are very welcome :)))))

  55. d.... ....

    Perfect! Thanks for posting this!

  56. h.... ....

    you are very welcome :)))))

  57. s.... ....

    I like this stripped down version. Very soulful.

  58. b.... ....

    Me too.

  59. U.... ....

    this is the proof that REM was stilled doing incredible songs after Bill Berry leaves the band.

  60. f.... ....

    Ik begrijp niet.

  61. h.... ....

    thank you for kind comment :))) you are very welcome :)))

  62. P.... ....

    Heidi makes me high.
    ~thanks

  63. a.... ....

    @fred6059 Not gonna lie, but that shirt is what could easily be considered "bitchin'."

  64. D.... R....

    I can't believe we'r never going to hear Stipe and co. live again...

  65. f.... ....

    Ah yes Pete in a signature horrible shirt. Him and Mike have horrible taste in clothes. Maybe something do with them both being a Sagittarius?

  66. M.... ....

    Michael's smile at the end is a beautiful image. :)

  67. L.... G....

    супер - вярно ..... 10х

  68. F.... ....

    Much prefer this song with the acoustic guitar more prominent than the organ sound.

  69. m.... ....

    @JackieinJapan your correct there, that version is very special.

  70. R.... M....

    this version kick ass, loved it

  71. A.... S....

    @SguardoInnocente i couldn't agree more :)

  72. G.... A....

    beautiful music

  73. h.... ....

    @JackieinJapan i agree :)

  74. h.... ....

    @ibeenhigh you are very welcome :)

  75. h.... ....

    @dastipe you are very welcome :)

  76. h.... ....

    @Noeladishi yes i agree :)

  77. d.... ....

    i agree that a lot of the songs on Reveal are overproduced, but the songwriting is great. an underrated and overlooked album.

  78. h.... ....

    you are very welcome : )

  79. J.... S....
