Bat For Lashes- Higher Than the Sun

Bat For Lashes- Higher Than the Sun feat. Fionn Regan and Maps (Primal Scream Cover), (live on BBC), I own nothing


My brightest star's my inner light let it guide me
Experience and innocence bleed inside me
Hallucinogens can open me or untie me
I drift in inner space, free of time
I find a higher state of grace, in my mind
I'm beautiful
I wasn't born to follow
I live just for today, don't care about tomorrow
What i've got in my head you can't buy, steal or borrow
I believe in live and let live
I believe you get what you give
I've glimpsed, I have tasted, fantastical places
My soul's an oasis, higher than the sun
I'm higher than the sun

I'm over the moon, or indeed higher than the sun (LOL!) you've unearthed this rare gem of a cover, & done us Bat For Lashes fans the great service of posting this. Reading up on it, I love the idea these 3 Mercury Prize '07 nominees / debutantes (BFL, Fionn Regan & Maps) collaborated to such stunning effect in the run-up to that year's award ceremony, selecting this heavenly song from the album which deservedly scooped the first ever Mercury ('92's Screamadelica), & actually excelling it IMHO.

Whom ever dislikes this is a hater.

Just listened to the Primal Scream version. Natasha's is better - has a more ethereal sound.

I can't decide which one I like better... this cover or the original.

They're both so good! >.<

Great Primal scream song. Love the 80s influence in many of her songs. ;)

Amazing... Every time I hear this melody I feel like I'm flying... higher than the sun.
