The Daily Boost #516

What takes you higher than you've ever been?

“Taking Me Higher” is from the soundtrack to a new film called Sweetwater, scenes from which appear in this music video. The movie depicts the story of NBA Hall of Famer, Nat “Sweetwater” Clifton, who made history as the first African American to sign an NBA contract and changed how the game of basketball is played.

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but the song certainly takes me higher. How about you?

TAKING ME HIGHER
Keb' Mo'

Ain't nothing wrong with having a dream
Ain't nothing right do you know what I mean
It's a brand new day with a message to learn
And I may not have very much time to burn

But all I know and all I see
Is calling me and it's taking me higher, higher
All I do is call on you to take me higher
Higher then I've ever been before

There's winners and losers one in the same
We are only human caught in the game
Searching for something on solid ground
For somebody somewhere who will never lеt you down

But all I know and all I see
Is calling me and it's taken me highеr, higher
All I do is call on you to take me higher
Higher then I've ever been before

Every day is the first day of my life it's all right
Gonna get out of my own way I'm stepping into the light
Stepping into the light

All I know and all I see is calling me and it's taken me higher, higher
All I do is call on you to take me higher
Higher then I've ever been before
All I know and all I see
Taken me higher, higher then I've ever been before

(My thanks to Keb’ Mo’.)
