Sunday Songs: Light the night up with my soul on fire

"Higher Love" (Steve Winwood)

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, Ill 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
Wheres that higher love I keep thinking of?

Worlds are turning and were just hanging on
Facing our fear and standing out there alone
A yearning, and it's real to me
There must be someone who is 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?

Steve with a little bit of help from Chaka Khan sings about the quest for love reminding us that all love is good meeting the right requirements. This song is posted along with two other of his tributes to passion.



The opportunity of posting "Higher Love" is used to acknowledge two very interesting happenings in an otherwise dismal Daytime Emmys broadcast. One is that, while Van Hansis did not get the recognition that many hoped for, he and his co-star Jake Silbermann presented together. The other is that Heather Tom was very well dressed because she reached out to Jack Mackenroth from Project Runway to design her gowns. It says a lot about Ms. Tom.

from Jack's website: Jack Mackenroth to Create Couture Gown for Nominee Heather Tom’s Emmy Appearance; Dress to be Auctioned off to Benefit AIDS Charities and to Promote National Testing Day






Honourable mention is given to Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi being out there as a couple. Sherri Shepherd won points [gasp] snuggling with DeGeneres.




Gay people are just that--people--not campaign issues. All of the above have done just a little bit to enhance that concept.

Sunday Songs: Abbey Lincoln

By -

Recorded in New York, New York in February 1990. ( Thank You, Singers and Saints Blog ) Personnel: Abbey Lincoln (vocals); Jackie McLean (alto saxophone); Clark Terry (trumpet); Alain Jean-Marie (piano); Charlie Haden (bass); Billy Higgins (drums). "Have we been waiting for something like this since Billie, then Dinah passed on--i.e. groovy, in-the-tradition jazz singing that actually means something? Heir apparent Betty Carter is on an ego trip, Cassandra Wilson is too arty... and so on. Abbey Lincoln's trip is something else again (perhaps Parisian) as she poignantly introduces "How High The Moon" in broken French and triumphantly ends the set with Francis Lai's "Live For Life." In between, Lincoln contributes good original lyrics from the point of view of a still-feminine quasi-bag lady--"social secretary" she calls it--an adept witness to hard times past and present. Lincoln gets excellent arrangements from Ron Carter and accompaniment fro
