Story Behind the Song
THIS SONG, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOW WELL RECEIVED BY ALL WHO HEAR IT, IT WAS ALMOST NOT GOING TO MAKE IT ONTO THE CD AT ONE TIME.
IT HAD GONE THROUGH SOME CHANGES WHEN IT FIRST WAS RECORDED AND IT HAD BECOME TO LONG. DURING THE PRODUCTION PROCESS WE DECIDED TO GO BACK AND CUT IT DOWN TO ITS ORIGINAL LENGTH AND THATS WHAT YOU HEAR NOW.
THE SONG ITSELF WAS ACTUALLY WRITTEN IN ABOUT TWO HOURS, AND FINE TUNING IT ONLY TOOK SEVERAL REHEARSALS. ONE OF THOSE SUDDEN JEM'S MUSICIANS, OFTEN TALK ABOUT.
Lyrics
FLYING HIGH
Well, Im up and Im high
Flying the sky so far gone.....
And Im in a way,
Floating the day in a blue sky......
Clouds never bothered me,
So I set myself so free’
In a clear blue sky
I open the flow of the whirls I’m in twirls
Im like a bird, so allured looking down at the world.
As I stair at the earth,
I remember the pain of my birth
Why
must I always, plant my feet on the ground.
When the wind is alive.
Clouds never bothered me,
So I set myself so free
in a clear blue sky........
I open the flow of the whirls
Im in twirls
Im like a bird, so allured looking down at the world.
