Winwood, Steve - Back In The High Life Again Lyrics

I own all of Steve Winwood’s shit, you should know this

Amo essa música! Amo você!

I used to think that this was sung by Peter Gabriel, but then I realized that it is far too normal a song to be a Gabriel hit. Read: Normal is something that isn't wacko.

This song is getting me through a rough time right now, pray for me
Now this is boat music
LOVED THAT THIS WAS FILMED ON THE STREETS  IN MY HOMETOWN, MANASSAS, VA

"All the doors that closed one time will open up again" - poetry

I had a random dream where I was hugging my not well dad, and this song was playing the while..weird. Love you dad.

12/23/2019

background vocals: James Taylor. What a combo!!!

I just searched this for Always Sunny comments (not disappointed) and now I find myself unable to turn it off. Good shit. And boat music, indeed.

I was drinking miller highlit when I first herd this song

I love that my dad introduced me to him :)

Used to feel like that...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...her name was Nicole Wendell...

It was 1989 & I was 18 had just struck out on my own...so did she...

Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith...solo career. An amazing talent.

I was so busy in the '80s; Madonna was on the horizon and David Bowie and the stuff that came out of my radio was radically curtailed but somehow this song got through. The one thing people don't perhaps know is how young Steve Winwood was … he was what, 13? and a brother would drop him off and pick him up again because he was so young but Gimme Some Loving and something else iconic came from that early time. Someone to be honoured.

It's always sunny in Philadelphia lol

Always sunny?

Now folks, listen to this song once again and listen to and concentrate on the drums/percussion. Ladies and gentlemen that is the genius that is Steve Gadd.

Chai life

Great song!

If you're drinking a High Life and listening to this - chug!

I can’t NOT dance like a tube person now everytime i hear this song

I'm here sing it steve

My song when I'm drinking high life's lol

Thumbs down?? People have no class!

Steve started playing with his Dad and his brother when he was 8. His Dad had to turn the piano round to hide him as he was underage. Steve played in a real band at 14. Truly a legend. His voice is epic.

Wow... !!!!

November 26 2019..... oh the 80s... what a decade of amazing music! 🎵 ❤️

on this day I celebrated my 50th birthday! Great memories from my awesome youth in the eighties!

@Petra Stoop Happy Birthday!

p.s. The movies from the 80s were special too... Goonies, Gremlins, ET., Back to the Future, The Breakfast Club, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, etc.

Anyone else notice this beautiful music Sounds like free falling by Tom Petty?

Who is the girl in the video with him?

I lost my brother, Kerry, in September 2019 and am still getting over the shock. Too soon, to tragic...now words..... I had always thought I would play this for him if he ever left this planet before any of us...OH, SWEET KERFRAN!!! I HOPE YOU ARE BACK IN THE HILIFE AGAIN.....I know you are....please send me an angel to whisper in my ear you are happy and with all our family in heaven.... and bless all of you reading this....bless you...happy holidays for 2019 and on.... hugs all around....

Oh... you are so Kind* In all your sadness. you selflessly wished everyone Blessings* Blessings to you also* Look into the Stars* he's twinkling.. just for you*

@Terri Mrazek Thank you...many soft hugs and strong prayers to you for being so kind to take the time to write .....

☺️🌹❤️💋2019

I've heard this song a million times but i never fully appreciated it until the lyrics related to events in my life.

Never was a huge fan of this, but it's growing on me after listening to Warren Zevon's version. Zevon's take on this is amazing!

Ai meu Deus. Amo essa música.😍😍😍

Thousand people need to go back to their fkn low strung out low ball paying hooker $5 for hand job life.

*Back In The High Life Again...*

I was born in 2000 and I have this weird nostalgic feeling listening to the music of the time, Born in the wrong time perhaps?

You are perhaps.. an Old Soul*... enjoy the Journey!!

Great song. My favorite by Steve Winwood. Still listening to it in 2019!! Great voice.

Dennis Reynolds told me to come here

Free fallin' anyone?

I will put it in the same category as "The way it is" as one one of those Great songs that was apart of your life and still resonates today! Nobody today will ever produce something as Great as this!!

March/April in Sri Lanka in 1987 and loved it then and is still one of my favourite sonds ever!!!

A COME BACK !!!!

Starting my Saturday Morning, in love with life!

I'm here because of the Implications

This song really hits me. It was early 90's living in Idaho... my darkest days., there is this little Town called Gooding. The train track at the end of town, remember the little store on the right, everything like in the video with the train stops lights... pretty damn nostalgic.

I own all of Steve Winwood's shit.

I'll be back in the high life again..... Published on the 27th.2011.✌️🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷1111.

One of the last "cool" white guys with low-key soul. Underrated bop

Who's sick and tired of whos here questions?

This video was shot in Manassas Virginia.. Same train station Stephen Still Band was standing for the cover shot of his "Manassas" album... Steve's voice is one of a kind...One of the greats for sure..

Just finished 12 Miller High Lifes and this song came to mind. 80s rule!

Five star music for five star people

Great artist!

James Taylor back up vocals completes this song.

I ndo love this man. SO sexy!!! Still think he has the look about him of Jeremy Vine. Both GORGEOUS!!! I just LOVE this song. AND the video which goes so well with it. Excellent piece of craftmanship to put it all together so brilliantly. Well done to whomsoever achieved this masterpiece

How did we get from this to Justin Beiber?

Longmire

Drinking a Miller High Life while listening to this right now.

The Champagne of Beers 🍻

Busch here.

Get a second one and you'll be back in the high life again

@Crazy Dazy For the champagne of people.

Miller High Life is surprisingly good. And I love to listen to this music when I'm drinking one.

2nd known of songs of Steve Winwood, Will buy more

Brasil!?

Trumps re-election song...

I got a steve winwood cd in my car

In the Air Force, newly married, and with a newborn son. He's 33 now and I miss him so much it hurts.

2019 yeaaaaaa

New York city 1993.

"All the doors I closed one time...." Be damned careful about that, people. Close too many of them, and not only will they never open again, they'll cease to exist, and you will be surrounded by walls of your making.

I was a baby when this came out but I heard it a lot on the radio when I was little

I love the story about how Billy Joey crashed your hotel, or apt in NYC and you answered the door while he was combing his hair and he just left the comb there. Before he was a household name.....and you were totally cool with that kid. That is a great story.

This can cure a depression

Anyone in the High life in 2019? I sure as hell am.

get it cuz he high

Love this track and the whole album. Remember playing Stevie's Arc of a Diver LP on a cassette in my Mini car whilst traveling to Wales for my friends Wedding many decades ago. Very happy memories of that trip with SW sounds in the background.
This High Life LP was his best I think and I have met Steve at his Oxford based Solid State Logic 4000 console studio in 1987 when I wired it all up. Lovely chap and great songs (also heard him on his Hammond Organ at the time (wow).

Great song for Lucian's ending, see y'all on the range!

The tone of this song always felt sad to me. Like the dreaming loser lamenting about who he used to be and how someday if he ever gets another shot he'll be back on top again. But he won't and everyone but him knows it. Like a boxer who never made it and is too old now, or a gambler who just needs a lucky streak to get back in the big game in the back room. But it's a truly wonderful song.

Steve's voiced coupled with James Taylor's is perfect

💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

This has a similarity to Throwing it all Away by Genesis... Not that it matters, both great songs!

Definitely a boomer song!

chick chickity ficky ficky wieners

Corn dogs for everyone

One of my favourites of Steve Winwood - such a gorgeous voice!! 😀

james taylor with some killer harmony. so good.

Hey, I agree with "Lucky Lucky" 30 years ago.....Cottage country, Lawn Darts, and a box of beer!

Heym,,,,I do Brother,,,,I just do it in the Carribe on the beach.....

Hey, I hear you Snowbird.....I feel the same today as then......

my dad made me listen to this in the car all the time when I was little xD

*_I love this song too, and I'm probably the same age as your dad, but in MY naked 20/20 vision eyes, YOUR DAD IS A BULLY!_*

@SnowbirdFlock lmao

Same chord progression in the verse as “Free Fallin” and this came out way before. Just sayin.

This song always bring me to tears..i wish I can go back to the good ol days

thanks fer the 80s in okc i was tn my 20s lots of partys an good times i miss the 80s

Love this song

I was 17 when this came out, still trying to find my place in the world, trying to understand girls, drinking beer when I shouldn't have been... I played the album so much. Thanks Stevie x
PS and here I am at 50 still trying to do all those things 😂

Too my good friend Jan thanks for this.x

🤘😑🤘
Sir

Steve Winwood & James Taylor did this.

I can hear the nashville part of his life creeping out in this song....

For Stobie Hobie

He's determined to get high ... again, regardless of the shame within the local community.

Some guy I work with brought me here looking for "back in the time of the wind" by Bill Collin.

Dope describes my rhymes, making all you MCS cold drop like dimes. You know MCSC is back again, and battling me on the microphone is like committing a sin.

I saw a G.

I've seen it all.
