Really enjoying the music this morning.  I haven't stopped chair dancing since I arrived at work!

Clavinet and synth.  Multiracking and echoes.
Very cool dissection of Superstition (from the same album/sessions) clavinet parts which is quite similar in it's funky syncopation.

Stevie was something else.  A very young talent at a very early age who showed a lot of lyrical and musical sophistication.

People keep on learnin
Soldiers keep on warrin
World keep on turnin
Cause it wont be too long

Powers keep on lyin
While your people keep on dyin
World keep on turnin
Cause it wont be too long

Im so darn glad he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
Im so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin
Till I reach the highest ground


Teachers keep on teachin

Preachers keep on preachin
World keep on turnin
Cause it wont be too long
Oh no

Lovers keep on lovin
Believers keep on believin
Sleepers just stop sleepin
Cause it wont be too long
Oh no

Im so glad that he let me try it again
Cause my last time on earth I lived a whole world of sin
Im so glad that I know more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin
Till I reach my highest ground...whew!
Till I reach my highest ground
No ones gonna bring me down
Oh no
Till I reach my highest ground
Dont you let nobody bring you down (theyll sho nuff try)
God is gonna show you higher ground
Hes the only friend you have around

this famous song have many covers by Red Hot Chili Peppers',  Ellen McIlwaine, Alicia Keys,  Marcus Miller,  Lenny Kravitz, etc.

the song "Higher Ground"  "social anger" in studio-album "Innervisions" (1973)
