Highlife

Now I am longer in the tooth

The more that I am Wrong

Was it the fading of my youth

Or was I all that strong

Now that you're one of us

Now that you come to us

Now that you see the way we see the way you see the world

Through our eyes

And come to use

And why you play with us

So that you feel the way we feel the way we feel our way through here

The more that I long to see the truth

The more that I was wrong

The further I get from you

The smaller I become

Highlife is a genre of music which originated in Ghana in the early 20th century, though is often associated with its popularity in Nigeria. Known for its jazzy horn riffs and electric guitars, I wanted to try and include some of the genres sounds in the track (though the influence of Ali Farke Toure's playing is more evident in my guitar work than the Highlife tradition)

This one really led me to think about the mixing of Isaac's and my cultures – HighNow I am longer in the tooth

The more that I am Wrong

Was it the fading of my youth

Or was I all that strong

Now that you're one of us

Now that you come to us

Now that you see the way we see the way you see the world

Through our eyes

And come to use

And why you play with us

So that you feel the way we feel the way we feel our way through here.

The more that I long to see the truth

The more that I was wrong

The further I get from you

The smaller I become
