Hell yeah. Congrats turning things around.
The hatred needs to stop 🛑
Love to anyone reading this ❤️
We will overcome.
@@davidmarkspeer7730 we sure will my friend 💕
Love you too!
❤
Yes! I grew up on a military base in Germany. And when I went to college in the states It was a shock at all the negativity and hatred.. I feel like I'm alone sometimes in this world. It's so easy to just be nice and loving. I'll never understand it
This song was released in 1986, freshman year of HS. Here i am almost 40 years later in 2024 enjoying this song with my wife of almost 29 years, back in the high life again.
Hello summer 2024, we're still here!
Hell yeah😊
So happy that I can join hands with other people who think like me. ❤
awesome dude!
Stevie remember me I remember you in high school 🎒 friend/father/😊
Windows down. 55mph. Back in the high life again. The 2024 version. Wished I was on a boat because this is boat music.
One of those…
Classics! Timeless and Eternally Relevant!
Couldn't help but to sing along with it...again.
I am laying in a hospital bed. Just had successful procedure, thought to myself I need Winwood. I will be back in the high life again!
Thank you for asking. I am enjoying a highball with my wife. So in a way I am back in the "high life" again. Btw we saw you with Blind Faith. Your music has always put in me in a sunny frame of mind. I've "found my way home". Thank you for the music of my life.
penis enlargement?
I hope that you had a completely successful recovery and are living life the way you want to!
Brilliant
What procedure?
one of the best songs of the 80s!!!
Stevie Winwood and James Taylor! What a duet!
Minutes ago I just bought myself a ticket to my very first Steve Winwood concert for my 52nd birthday treat! It will be the absolute BEST day of 2024, and I might cry. Reflecting back to my teen self, holding my Steve Winwood cassette tape that had just arrived in our family mailbox from my Columbia House music subscription, I never would have predicted in my lifetime that I will see him perform live in an arena. I encourage everyone reading to go buy tickets to Steve Winwood in an effort to show Steve how truly valued he is as an impactful and phenomenal artist from our beloved 80's. His shows need to reach Sold Out status! 20 concerts: July 30 - August 30, 2024.
Enjoy! 🎉🎉🎉
Halauyah
Id like to go to one
Just saw him on Aug.25th, Credit 1 Amphitheater, Tinley Park. He was on first followed by The Doobie Brothers. My 1st time seeing both of them!! They still sound Amazing !!!!!🎉
@@beverlyduckett-edwards4001 Yaaaay!! So happy that you got to see them perform live on stage! Winwood's setlist shows 10 songs and I can't waaaaaait for this concert!!
Love how the comment section is so positive under Steve Winwood songs.
I came here looking for Always Sunny quotes. :(
My grandmother died on June 3rd, 1988. The last thing she ever said to me was, "Goodnight, granddaughter. When you get home, play our song."
This was our song.
@markrodgers9682 This was mine & my grandmother's song as well. Big hugs to you my friend
Sweet sorry for your loss
Magic, magic, magic ❤
My father recently passed (January of 24’) and I lost my mom in 2022.
The grief has been kicking my butt lately. Just wanting to go back in time, then I stumble across this song. I was overwhelmed. This song speaks to me in so many ways!
🤗
chin up and move on....life sucks then its amazing again....its all of our lots
Thanks for sharing this brother. I just lost my Mom in December 2023 and my Dad March 2024. It’s been so hard but it’s great to hear an uplifting song to help us with feelings of grief.
God bless you brother! Have a wonderful life! ❤❤
@@user-cf2hp2ci2n it’s almost as Steve speaks to our soul in this song. Sorry about your losses as well. Death of a parent is the most surreal feeling ever. We are not alone in this.
Been struggling with addiction and physical pain from my tours to the middle east. Steve Winwood, especially this song touches my soul. Ultimately, helping me through these dark and painful times.
Hope you find what you’re seeking, brother. Help is out there - fellow vets are ready to listen. www.va.gov/REACH/
Thank you Bradd Cameron for Serving Our Country USA.♥🙏
God love you. 💚 Take good care.
Steve Winwood will be Back In The High Life Again.
Praying for a Tinnitus cure so that those of us who are being tortured by this soul destroying condition can be Back in the High Life Again.
I feel ya brother❤
I know exactly what you mean man. It can be deafening and no escape at times. Blessed Be!!
Lipoflavinoid? B vitamins?
When I was unemployed and poor but this song healed me and I'm safe to say "I'm back in the high life again ".....I'm working, have a car and a house
Everyone who is unemployed is poor!!! Unless good at bank robberies. 🏦 happy for you mate you can wire me that 20 you owe me. 😉
my man
When I was young and poor,this song always made me sure I would make it and I did.80s optimism at it's best
Big ups to you, brother! Keep grinding!
Keep plugging away. Never give up and hope is always a positive. You might not get wealthy but a healthy attitude and outlook makes us rich!
Happy Birthday today, Steve!
Yes back in the high life again. I love you Steve💖❤️🔥🌠🧚🏼♂️
If you are ever feeling down and out this song will pull you out of it and help you move forward. Thank you Steve Winwood!
😀
The grocery store brought me here. If they hadn't played it on the overhead speakers for everyone who is shopping , I would have not thought of it. Now, after hearing it again I am so glad I remember it again. It was always one of my favorites back in the 80s.
I bought this cassette when it was first released way back in the day. This track and Higher Love have been favorites throughout my life. Both giving me reassurance, and comfort. They were both a sort of anthem to help me push forward. Thank you deeply for your gorgeous music!
ALWAYS take the high road
Possibly the most underrated musician of all time. And such a soulful voice.
Totally agree 👍
I found out the other day that he is in the rock and roll of fame best singers list at number 33.
You made my day. :-)
Totally
Any lover of rock and roll recognizes the greatness of Steve Winwood as a singer, musician, both keyboards and guitar, and excellent songwriter. He is hardly underrated by those who have ears to hear.
To the person that reads this, I ask the Lord to bless them and their family, to cure them of every sickness and pain, to fill their emptiness with love joy and peace, to rebuke the enemy from their lives. " ASK JESUS TO COME INTO YOUR HEART AND SAVE YOU, AND TO FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR SINS, FOR WE GIVE THANKS AND GLORY TO THE LORD. IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!
I listened to this song on a boat one magical night. We ate some freshly-caught catfish and danced to our hearts’ content.
Were you with a troll man and a giant bird?
It will be a sight to see . Back in the High Life Again ...
My husband Gareth & I played this on cassette in the car back in 1986. We were together for 34yrs until I lost him to cancer in 2020 at 58yrs old. This reminds me of those times. Love you Gar- miss you love every day.❤❤
I hope this doing always brings you fond memories 🙏
❤
Condolence Steve is a great artist you and your husband had good taste.
Sorry for your loss - hope this brings comfort. Kind regards
I'm very sorry for your loss. 😔🙏🏻
The best British artist to come out of the 60's.
In 1986 I was selling ices on the corner of 65 and broadway . Steve Winwood Ana his wife came to my cart to purchase ices . I was in heaven I told Steve that John Barleycorn was one of my favorite albums , his wife was shocked that a 19 year old kid new that album . Steve them told me that he had a new album coming out They couldn’t have been any nicer
Saw him live with Steely Dan. Amazing show.
It’s always sunny in Philadelphia… brought me here. And I’m glad.
Back in the Hei Life Again
This song 🎵 has helped me in the toughest times of my life 😊
I hear you my friend ❤
I was a successful banker and unfortunately almost lost everything because of fentynal addiction. When I got out of rehab I heard this song and it became my anthem of my life! It's what motivated me to get my life back together!
Congratulations! What an accomplishment. Fighting addiction is one of the toughest things there is.
Well done for getting over it. How do you end up taking fentanyl, and not just h tho? I know it's still bad but compared to Fent. Or do you live somewhere where all the opiates on the street are really just full of fent? Either way glad you're doing better now!
Love this tune
God bless you and good luck!
Hang in there!!! We need you!!!! Congrats!!! It just gets better!!!
I’m a metal head and I even enjoy this song
@@sandykimberlin7198 God bless you as well.
Careful. You're good taste is showing.
50 year old black man that grew up in the inner city of Memphis Tn. This music allowed me to escape. Yep, it sure did👍🏽
I know you don't know me, but please trust me and believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ is the truth. Have faith and God bless.
lotta good music in Memphis....
@@JH-ot5mn Nothing, it’s how I wanted to describe myself. Let’s just enjoy the music.
@@TheFreddieW As a mountain biker and customer of Kroger, sounds good.
@@JH-ot5mn 😂 awesome!
dudes amazing...been with him since the 6os and he's still a part of my soul and heart to this day at 66!
pulled me from the edge today. thank you mr winwood, and thank God!
Back In The HEI Life Again
Steve’s music has changed all the “genre” of music… from inner city, to Rural, to the “High Life”. God bless you Steve WinWood, for changing peoples lives, and bringing back Memories”.
This song was playing as I was a 12 year old with my parents leaving the NJ shore. We stayed with my parents' best friends who were like my second parents. I loved them. As we pulled out of the driveway, I turned around and waved goodbye to him in the driveway while this played on the radio. I never saw him again. He was killed coming home from work 5 days later by a drunk truck driver. He was 38 and the father of 6. RiP.
Wow, what a sad story. Condolences.😢
thank you stevie loved you fifty years ago still love you man ❤
Just got a job offer in my old profession of teaching in public school! I know for some it’s not the high life but for me it is!!!🎉🎉
Congrats! What grade/subject do you teach?
@@theresajb6463 7th & 8th grade Health Education
Congrats! High life is whatever you dream it to be. Cheers🍷🍷🥂
@@theresajb6463 Physical Education
Winwood turned out a freight train of hits in the 80s. He doesn’t get enough praise outside of music circles.
he’s a low key fellow that shuns the limelight, it seems on purpose? Like he’s happier this way? Ya know?
If you havnt already seen it, check out Winwood and Clapton on Claptons Crossroads concert. It is amazing! You will love it if you are a fan
Ever notice how Steve’s songs are so positive and uplifting?
This song was written by Warren Zevon.
@@peterdexter7092 Actually, Steve and Will Jennings co-wrote it and Warren Zevon covered it.
He's going on tour with steeley dan in 2022!!!
Yep! The 80’s were so much more uplifting! 💛
That's because this wonderful music has been written in major tonality instead of minor.
Steve choose that to give us all that joy and happiness.
I saw Winwood Wed. nite at Madison Sq. Garden, sooo good. W/ The Doobie Brothers, great show, lots of fun!!
I’m a Black man and love this song!!!! Steve is phenomenal!!
Sounds great!!!
Your color madders not.
good music is universal
100% echo previous comments. music has no colour. What’s good is just good. Enjoy what you like.
What does the color of your skin have to do with ANYTHING??!! See that's the problem now, kids being taught that they can't listen to certain music because of their skin color GTFOH music is made for EVERYONE and when it's not, there is zero success.. don't be THAT GUY that brings race into something where it has no place being!! 🚫🧍🏼🧍🏿🤝🏼🤦🏻
I'm white me too!!!
My dad just passed away yesterday, we used to listen to this song when I was a kid. I wanted to hear it again. It reminds me of the 80s. When my dad was young a vibrant! Memory lane.
Danielle I always listen to this when I want to reminisce to my dad who passed away 3 years ago. Same reason to remember them young and vibrant. Hope you're doing OK, it definitely takes some time but gets easier. But keep his memory alive
What a beautiful tribute to your Dad. Just what little you’ve written here lets me know that he had a pure heart ... and he raised a daughter who values valuable things ... Peace to you. I hope, in time, you find healing & comfort, and that your best memories of your Dad will bless you all the days of your life 🌈
Sorry for your loss Danniele,if you Dad liked this song,4 sure he was a good man.... and the most important thing,he left to you the gift of perception of what good things really are.
My condolences on your loss, Danielle. This song is a nice way to memorialize him, though.
Sorry for your loss.
What a great song when you're emerging from rough times.
The MAN!
Can't understand why this song didn't win a grammy?
stevie ray vaugh, stevie wonde3r, steve winwood, and stevie miller. now how can anyone not love them all?
Let's go brother!
If I close my eyes I’m 17 again and I can smell my childhood home and memories
The implication...she won't say no
My husband and I have almost 6 years clean from a crazy heroin addiction. This song explains what it felt like back then. Beautifully written. Steve Winwood is a genius 👏🏼
Yeah buddies! You're inspirational!
I'm glad man and I hope everything works out. My brother just died of an overdose and I don't know what the f*** to do. But I pray that your husband wins man because these drugs are a bunch of f****** b*******. I'm rooting for you guys man pray everyday and live a life worth living. And don't fight or argue or be mean or say things that you don't mean. Because you never know when that last day is of him or you. Learn to let down your pride and humble yourself and just love with all your heart and love him and understand and love him for who he is. Whatever shortcomings they have or flaws they have are just part of who they are and love those two.
Awesome job on your sobriety ❤
@@user-iw6og2gv7u wtf
Congrats. Sobriety is a GIFT!!!!!!
A song about redemption, or maybe...just coming home...
James Taylor as backup too, what amazing talents 🥰🥰🥰💯
Steve Winwood songs were made for a god.........A GOLDEN GOD!!!!
I own all of Steve Winwood's shit, you should know this.
@@johnsmokin So what are you thinking? ....... Higher love. Lol
Can I get back in the high life again at age 57? it sure would be great to be back in those good old days!
This ☝🏼
Keep listening to good tunes like this and you'll get back.
You can always do it by listening to this wonderfully sad and exultant song.
it's always waiting for you. Just jump in! I'm 74 and I'm in!
Life Begins At @57 Just Don't Think Of High Life As In Getting Stoned On Weed.
There's More To Life Than Meets The Eye.🎉
Coming back BIG !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
One of the best songs of it's Era. Steve had such a distinct voice. 🎉❤
They just don't make music like this anymore
As a 44 year old black man living in Meridian, Mississippi, oddly it was the music of artist like Steve Winwood, that gave me solace, and clarity to survive the violence, the Insanity, the chaos.
I have a good life now, thank you for being the light to the path for this little brown boy Steve.
Well done you, we each have suffering but we will get back in that high life again, ive had 3 deaths in the past 5 years and it's hard yeah, but each day at a time is the only way to go, I used to sing this and mean it to my Ashley rip, but now blessed with our grandson, time to start living again,, bless you all xx
I'm glad you made it bud. 🙏
What about native son, Steve Forbert?
Isn't that Roll With It video awesome?! Love the line dancing never mind his music & voice
I'm 49 myself up in the Boston area. I remember when the music was new and I've remembered over the years. Kind of a similar situation so he's kept me grounded it's always been chill uplifting
on our way to see him and can’t wait- LEGEND! musicians these days don’t have what the old school did….
I lost my wife of 43 years three years ago. She also loved this song!
When you are old enough, the musical nostalgia and memories are just too much to say in words.
Wiith you there me ob
Yeah, especially with whats happening now in the world the nostalgia hurts.
This music is my childhood and I'm at least grateful to have experienced it as it unfolded.
Keep your head up, we'll all be "back in the high life again" soon when we go home.
@@justpassingthrough3166 Yes...🦋
Yes.
Yep
This is a Christian man. I love his music, all are positive and full of praise for our abilities to keep going. Christ is the driver here.
Really, I didn't know that as it certainly adds another dimension to listening to this song. Thanks.
Really Christian that's why stars 🌟 🤩 ✨️ 🙄 are all he is. Christians don't gain the world - the world hates them. Wolves in sheep's clothing
He leadeth me.
I was there when this was filmed. ❤❤❤
Genesis 2:1 "On the 9th day God created Steve Winwood and placed him in the Garden in England and God commanded Steve to sing"
And it's near the end and I just thank God for time but I'm wasted and I can't find my way home.
There are so many positive things being said in this comments section. So many heartwarming and real stories. Only Steve Winwood could harness this amount of wholesomeness on UA-cam.
Stevie brightened up my life...broken a decade addicted...crawling falling..hard stuff...in the 80s..heard the guy who did can't find my way home..but it was NEW FANTADYIC...MR WINWOOD was the light by ear..such confident joyous sounds from this guy...blessings as the songs go.
This video was filmed in my hometown of Manassas, Virginia, as I was growing up there. I haven't lived there in years, but watching this video always tugs my heart and takes me back. I love that town.
I was born in northern Virginia. Been gone from there a long time. Should we dare call Manassas "Bull Run"?
I can relate to your comments I was born at home in Manassas in 1947 and lived within a few blocks of most of the areas shown in the video. Joe
Never knew that, I grew up in Arlington
Have you been back recently? I used to mess around down there in the early 00s; went through there recently and I didn't even recognize it. It has grown quite a bit.
It reminds me of special times and friends from 86-87. thank you
If you listen closely you can hear James Taylor singing backup. It’s was a comeback song for both of them.
Nice.I didn’t know that!
Two great singers.
Sounds like James Taylor at about 4:00.
Thank you. I thought I heard James Taylor but wasn't sure.
@TomDinapoli. You may already know this. Back in the last century, I read somewhere that James Taylor did his harmony vocal on this track in two takes. These guys are musicians' musicians! Stay safe and well.
Back in the HEI life again 🍿🎥🎬
Gregg could have went with Roll With It as well. Winwoodheads in the house
Wendy’s rendition was worthy of 6 bag cinemas
@@yellowriverboy5734 what?
Haha I’ve been singing this song ever since the on cinema special... get well soon LaRue
Exactly what brought me here too
back in the HEI life again!
Every time I hear this I instantly think “who turned on the Christian music?” Nobody, just some good ole Steve Winwood!
Steve Winwood's voice is amazing on this uplifting song. James Taylor singing background harmonies is like butter! Classic.
like buttah.
I thought I heard JT in the background! Thanks for clarifying that
Wow, I never knew it was JT in the background.
I always thought the background was real smooth on this song but I didn’t know this.
@Wendy Lee Connelly he gives one line near the end that's much more notably JT - "back in the high life"
I used this song for my brother who died from cancer....he was so special, unique, handsome, kind, funny, and always there for me. This was the most fitting song for me to play for him at his memorial..he will ALWAYS be in the high life...he was such a kind gentleman...what a treasure...i miss him
0:17 see his thumb? More talent in there than the whole chart today and for the last 20 years.
The 80s was on a whole other level...
This is happiest, and most hopeful song I've ever heard in my 65 years. It's also beautiful and I liked the dancing too. OMG I'm in tears. Thanks Steve.
I agree, but Warren Zevon's version of this very same song is just bleak. And I couldn't say which is my favorite.
Blue-eyed soul at its best! A song about redemption & longing for better times! A coda for the '80's- My fave LP from the era - along with Aaron Neville Warm your heart! ❤❤❤❤❤
Always sunny brought me here....back in the highlife
Rock on!
It used to seem to me that my life ran on too fast
And I had to take it slowly just to make the good parts last
But when you're born to run it's so hard to just slow down
So don't be surprised to see me back in the bright part of town
I'll be back in the high life again
All the doors I closed one time will open up again
I'll be back in the high life again
All the eyes that watched me once, will smile and take me in
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
We'll have ourselves a time
And we'll dance till the morning sun And we'll let the good times come in And we won't stop till we're done We'll be back in the high life again All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again All the eyes that watched us once will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
High life High life In the high life again
We'll be back in the high life again All the doors I closed one time will open up again
We'll be back in the high life again All the eyes that watched us once, will smile and take us in
And we'll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we'll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again
High life (back in the high life)
Oh we'll be back
Thank you for the lyrics ❤
I never understood why people don't put Steve Winwood on a higher pedestal. His voice is almost like in harmony with itself. Just awesome
Because of the *implication.*
badass days in the 80s luv it so so much
Oh do I ever agree with you.
I’ve wondered the same thing bro
@Kyle O'Bryan I didn't know that but am not surprised. Jimi Hendrix has superior musical intelligence.
Touches me so deeply. I had a stroke about 2 years ago and I'm still improving, but I have never and will never stop trying to become normal again. This song is for me at the moment.
I love his songs. That was a great era for music.
No matter your station in life at any given time, the perspective this song gives you will surely help. Great song.
It's been a slightly ragged last two or three months,but I still hope to be back in the high life again,some time soon. Inspiring song.
This song is golden god approved.
Tasty treats
@@Atom-E.B.E. Yes, we are the tasty treats in this scenario
Now this is boat music!
This song pairs perfectly with the "Implication". Its definitely on my boat playlist
@@johndickerson8348 It sounds like these girls don't want to listen to this song.
Quite possibly the most underrated musician of all time!! Positivity, and the nostalgia, his music's timeless and will always have the ability to take me out of myself and back to a simpler time.. I miss the old days!! God Bless everyone reading this!!! Much love !!!
❤✌🍀
❤
Yes and God bless him and God bless his voice I got to see him in the San Fernando Valley in California and I was 14 and then I moved up to Reno Nevada and I saw him up here I've seen him twice in concert he is awesome he sounds just the same alive as he does on the radio that's how long I've been listening to him and I'll be 70 this November I've been listening to him since I was 13 or 14 same with the stones and Aerosmith let's pray they all stay healthy may God watch over them
@@kimhill9859 I lived in Northridge in the 80's up until the mid 90's... Loved being a Valley girl!!!😎
Hey Kim Hill I'm Kim Hill and I lived in Northridge too but I'll be 70 this November and you don't look nothing like me yes and God bless the old days and let's pray to God we don't lose anymore and you're very beautiful
RIP 🕊️Uncle Billy🕊️. This song reminds me of you
I'm going through a really dark time right now. This song just changed my mood completely. 😁
Hope ur good man
@Eric Biondo I'm not, but, I'm trying to push through.
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Just hang on buddy. These dark times are like passing clouds. Just wither the present - you will have a peaceful and healthy future.
Stay strong, Sir. U got this. Cheers and Best wishes to you.
@bloke_19xx33 Thank you so much! That is very kind of you.
Best wishes to you as well.
This one’s for my Uncle Dave. We used to ride around Traverse City in his F-150 listening to this song over and over again. We ate Snickers bars and drank cold Coke out of cans. He’d spoil me rotten and make me feel on top of the world again. Life was good.
God speed, Buck. Thank you for being there for me.
What a neat story, thank you for sharing.
I was born in Plainfield, New Jersey in 1979. All the 80's, 90's, and 2000's music mean so much to me. As a black man I'm not ashamed to say that I love Steve Winwood's music. I started my music fan journey in 1983 when I was listening to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" Album.
Thriller was my very first album which I received on my 8th birthday in 1982. 80’s songs were the best!!
When I took out CDs from Treorchy library at 15, I didn't notice that Miles Davis, John Coltrane were black. I listened to superior music. I maintain my point 30 years later. PLUS Bach and Radiohead et al. What a gift we have in organised sound.
Music has no colour my friend.
hey, there's no shame in loving music produced by an absolute musical genius!......I love his Traffic years the best though, Steve on piano and vocals....man! progressive rock at its finest....I wonder if you've ever listened to any of those albums?.....if nothing else I would say check out "Glad", it's still one of the baddest songs ever.
Why would anyone be ashamed to live Steve regardless of color my man?
Genius!
"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" Great lyrics.
i agree. it tops my “favorite all-time lyrics” list
Absolutely
I read this just as he sang it
