Higher Love

Many people have forgotten about great artists like Steve Winwood, who had numerous hits in the 80's.  I am grateful that some of that music is now played more regularly on local, adult contemporary radio stations.

Higher Love ... by Steve Winwood

Another one of my all-time favorite songs, this one has some the best blend of guitar, techno-synthesizer, horns (trumpets, saxophones, etc.), and "a cappella with drums" sound amidst a decade-plus of that type of music.  The intro to the song always gives me a sense of something cool just around the corner ... and the rest of the song doesn't disappoint!

BONUS SONG:
My Love's Leavin' ... by Steve Winwood
Such an upbeat song despite the sad circumstances that his love has left him.  Oddly, he doesn't seem too broken up about it and is trying to move on.  Very opposite from "Higher Love" but still beautiful.
