Steve Winwood - Back In The High Life Again

[oreokookie1000]

great great tune...stevies the man , but I'd like to hear a remake with out all that synth shit....use a hammond organ, and capaldi style drums...goddamed '80's what a turdy decade, I was sick as a dog for most of it!~

[oct201981]

JUST ANOTHER PIECE OF MAGIC FROM MR STEVE WINWOOD, NOTHING COMES NEAR. CLASS NEVER GROWS OLD ONLY GETS BETTER WITH AGE !!!!

[planetrockford]

1987 good year for music

[MrByrdman85]

now this is boat music!

[zapkvr]

Winwood is a genius. I've been a fan since Traffic the original and best supergroup.

[bknuggs420]

thank god i wasnt raised in the 80's

[AmolaTerra]

This song brings back so many sweet memories.

[MTVVH1sucks]

un-intentional comedy is the best haha haha hah

[bknuggs420]

@MTVVH1sucks its at an all time high right here

[MTVVH1sucks]

@bknuggs420 nice screen name hahahahahaha

[andres6868]

great song, I probably haven't heard it in twenty years

[DanteUmbra]

@andres6868 You're listening to the wrong radio stations :)

[xJoshArizonax]

Now this is boat music!

[wjhealy13]

Theme song to a 30 pack of Miller High Life

[reposage]

No autotune here. For decades writing, performing and succeeding in his own voice.

[cythera431]

good ol' mid-'80s (complete with cat eye Vuarnets)...fun times.

[fromero69]

I'll be honest~ I'm only here because of it's always sunny in Philadelphia lol

[adamk4747]

@fromero69 ya me to haha awesome song tho. The sunny cast seem like cool dudes in real life

[radted411]

The Godfather of Yacht Rock.

[snoop12345ful]

My sisters first cd ever.

[snoop12345ful]

4 haters of course. Lol.

[dan8889]

I thought this was Stevie Nicks

[notkmad]

BOAT MUSIC

[jvilo80]

@notkmad This is absofugginlutely Some boat music!!!! I always rocked this song with th other eighties tracks!!

[BeerLovr65]

THE Voice

[mazaratialbum]

this is a really kewl song, lol...i remember 2 years ago i sang this at a karaoke....

and umm....i woke up in bed with a major hangover....

it's my understanding that in the last verse i fell to ground and fell out, lol....i was entirely 'too' drunk....my friends said that everyone in the klub thought i sucked anyway, lol.. : )

[mraldrain]

@mazaratialbum sounds like you were Back in the Miller High Life. Zing!

[MisterPeetBull]

Thumbs up if your here because of Always Sunny

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

Love this song...heard it in the grocery story and remembered it. The 80's were so awesome. Best decade ever....became a man, finished school and married my wife. Still married to her today. I never dreamed back then I would be a family man. Where have the years gone to?

[bowtieguy85]

this is a pretty good song, cant believe it took him nearly 15 years to go big solo after singing with so many other groups over the years.

[Calymere09]

@bowtieguy85 Appreciated for sure.. but I sorta view him as "beyond his time" so maybe that could be a reason he never felt quite right in a band. Dunno.... I feel the same way about Peter Gabriel... I love the music!! End result... the path there was magic at work or pure chance... don't know or care. I love it though!!!!

[NlNJAPRlME26]

Dennis was right, this is great boat music

[usuk1cum]

this was shot right down the street from my house, place has changed alot since the mid 80's

[semkobenko]

i will keep waiting though.

[semkobenko]

and noone is smiling and taking me in lol

[semkobenko]

ok people i am back in the high life again, but noone is high lol

[LifeIsTheGreatest]

Brilliant song. He somehow brings to life all the pleasant things that go with living :D The best thing about it is that I don't know how he does it. The film clip is shot after shot after shot of seeing those mild, "it is great to be alive" days. Even without the film clip, the songs sparks that glimmer of joy which I, for one, believe is in all of us.

[TBombtheG9]

I may have been young when this song influenced my life but now i see what it truly meant in context to my situation. Thank you Steve Winwood for promising me things would come back.

[semkobenko]

what about her dress? I too fat to wear dress!!!! Help!!!

[semkobenko]

cool beans

[AlexHeyNa]

This song goes well with the implication.

[xman6918]

@AlexHeyNa its boat music

[TheCheezhead15]

His Best Great Arrangement

[bennystheman]

What is that accordion-sounding instrument at 2:50? Its super awesome!

[buzzbigwig730]

very underrated voice.

[sd0676]

This is one of my favorite songs of all time!

[DonnaFan50]

Can't wait to take a lady out into the ocean with this music. Where she'll make RASH decisions based on FEAR.

Can't lie, Sunny has made me love this song.

[mimmar3891]

@DonnaFan50 Sunny is what brought me here! They introduced me to this song and I love it.

[mrmatt528]

I was wondering why this song was stuck in my head, reading the comments, it makes sense

[misslantana52]

love this song so much........takes me to a happy place!!!!!

[synthability]

Sunny made this song what it is!

[jackdav34]

I remember this song playing on the bus my first day of 8th grade. Didn't know who it was, but I thought it was great--and I still do.

[umpjones58]

ITS ALWAYS SUNNY IN PHILLY

[orioleman5]

[littlenicky09]

Anyone else here because of It's Always Sunny?

[scheckdj]

Back when music was good!

[Audiomaniac84]

Did Phill Collins sing this song?

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@Audiomaniac84

Read the description please.

[Audiomaniac84]

@ClassicTVMan1981X there is nothing said about it.

[harvardjrnl]

At the end of one of the NBA Finals (1986-1989) when Lakers won the Finals the NBA Finals video featured this song. I have been trying to find it on Youtube but can't. Any idea where it can be viewed?

[burito2221]

this was a favorite of my gay boyfriend

[DaveWollenberg]

Steve hit #13 in Billboard, 8-15-87. James Taylor on low harmony vocals. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! BTW, where was it filmed?

[mediterraneanqueen]

@DaveWollenberg Really???? About James Taylor on low harmony vocals??? Cool Cool

[DaveWollenberg]

@mediterraneanqueen None other than JT, himself.

[windk100]

The music is so simple and straightforward but the message so universal and uplifting. This song helped me through and recover from a dark period. Thank you Mr. "Little Stevie" Winwood! And whether other viewers agree with me or not, praise to my saviour, Jesus Christ - I couldn't have gotten through it without you!

[btownmxer]

@windk100 Jesus Who?

[mahajohn]

Little-known fact: "back in the high life" is a euphemism for purchasing over-large trench coats and walking in late autumn fields.

[cbr4]

was that James Taylor backing?

[Rightsideup]

James Taylor sings a great harmony with Winwood on this!

[1up5dwn]

Dennis Reynolds got me hooked on Steve Winwood

[RicIsGod]

@jamisonvanp pervous ellison?

[s10wcheetah]

[Mission7608x2]

Dear disposable garbage that constitutes today's music......take notes

[gundy80]

Great, classic song. This is definitely the 80s personified in song.

[gundy80]

[Abbot63]

That's one of my favourite songs by the great Steve Winwood, the song made it the # 13 on the Billboard Charts late in 1986.

Thank you VEVO for upload the video in H.Q.

[kja427]

Very soulful with the sound of the mandolin, also, this is the type of stuff that The Spencer Davis Group would never do. Very Nice!

[cawker1984]
