Survivor guitarist Frankie Sullivan and keyboard player Jim Peterik were their primary songwriters, and this was one of their compositions. Peterik left the band in 1996, and continues to play with The Ides Of March, which he founded in 1965. Says Peterik, "This is one song that's not brain surgery. It came from a jam. A lot of great songs come from jam sessions. I remember soundchecks with Survivor and The Ides Of March, and there's no better place to start a jam then on stage. Everything is miked-up, you're in a good mood, the lights come on, the audience isn't there yet and you start jamming. High On You was similar to that, only it started in rehearsal. Frankie started jamming on this really great guitar riff. I started laying my right hand on the keyboard and coming up with that very sing-song melody."

::.There was this Local TV channel in Guadalajara Mexico, back in the 80's that everytime they broadcasted LA Dodgers games they put this video and others from that era before the transmission began. GREAT stuff...hard to believe that this good songs were actually played on Radio, now we have to own a computer to enjoy them, if not, playing that old LP record.

Takes me back to a time when life was so simple compared to today's fast paced, never slow down world. Great music, great memories from the 80's. People that were not able to experience this decade missed out on how life should be lived...hopefully most of us can try and replicate some of those traits today....
