"Higher Love"

"Higher Love" written and performed by Steve Winwood was a 1986, number one hit which won 2 Grammys for record of the year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. Another song which sounds very similar to some of the other hits by Billy Ocean such as " Get outta my car, get into my dreams". They both have great voices!

My interpretation of this song is that it talks about a "Higher Love" which is G_d. Without getting too religious and ahead of myself, I think the song says that we tend to get caught up in the everyday, mundane, material things of the world and we simply tend to exist rather than really live. Which eventually makes us question what our purpose is and lead us to feel pity on ourselves and for the "sad" world we live in. This ultimately makes us start to look to a "Higher Love" to help us through..

Lyrics and video below

Think about it, there must be higher love
Down in the heart or hidden in the stars above
Without it, life is a wasted time
Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and we're just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who's feeling for me
Things look so bad everywhere
In this whole world, what is fair?
We walk blind and we try to see
Falling behind in what could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring be a higher love
I could rise above on a higher love

I will wait for it
I'm not too late for it
Until then, I'll sing my song
To cheer the night along
Bring it...Oh bring it...

I could light the night up with my soul on fire
I could make the sun shine from pure desire
Let me feel that love come over me
Let me feel how strong it could be

Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Bring me a higher love
Where's that higher love I keep thinking of?
