Back in the High Life de Steve Winwood es uno de estos discos que incluiría en mi mochila si tuviera que un día retirarme a una isla desierta. Con tanta música por todos lados, se me olvida a veces regresar a los tesoros musicales que trascienden el tiempo. De este disco mi preferida es “The Finer Things”:
Back in the High Life is the fourth solo album by blue-eyed soul musician Steve Winwood. It was a top ten hit on the album charts in the United States and has sold over five million copies. The single «Higher Love» topped the singles chart and won the Grammy Award for «Record of the Year»; «Back in the High Life Again» (US #13), «The Finer Things» (US #8, the second biggest hit from the album), and «Freedom Overspill» (US #20) were also big hits. This was Winwood’s last studio album with Island Records after twenty years with the label. The album also features some remarkable collaborations in backing vocals, featuring Chaka Khan in «Higher Love» and James Taylor in «Back in the High Life Again».
While there is time
Lets go out and feel everything
If you hold me
I will let you into my dream
For time is a river rolling into nowhere
We must live while we can
And well drink our cup of laughter
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
Oh, Ive been sad
And have walked bitter streets alone
And come morning
Theres a good wind to blow me home
So time is a river rolling into nowhere
I will live while I can
I will have my ever after
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
We go so fast, why dont we make it last
Life is glowing inside you and me
Please take my hand, here where I stand
Wont you come out and dance with me
Come see, with me, come see
And lovers try
til they get the best of the night
And come morning
They are tangled up in the light
So time be a river rolling into nowhere
They love while they can
And they think about the night so sweet
The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
