You can tell this a real album because Wonder doesn't put an obvious hit as the first track but a mood piece, a teaser of new sounds and rhythms, that primes you for the astonishing songs that are to come (I love love the song don't get me wrong), it really caught my attention as something special by way of an opener when I first heard it back in the early seventies.
An Austin Neighborhood Band back in the day " Inner Soul Movement " played this song and I can remember my friend Dennis James used a Wurly Electric Piano thru a 145 Leslie Speaker
Many say that Marvin Gaye is the high bar of the Tamla/Motown artist roster. For me it's Stevie Wonder. Perhaps the most well rounded musician in pop history combined with incredible output for so many years.
I wonder (no pun intended) if Stevie hears chords and harmonies the same way people see colors! It's like watching a master painter with a full palette and a canvas!
Stevie delivered a very serious message with this classic in 1973. The deep and chilling reminder to all of us, of the dangers of substance abuse. His descriptions and imagery, effectively, seriously demonstrates the " SOCIAL " Poet that he is for all humanity. The past, present, and future, shall always echo with Stevie Wonder and his emphatic supporting message.
I'm too high I'm too high But I ain't touched the sky I'm too high I'm too high But I ain't touched the sky
She's a girl in a dream She sees a four-eyed cartoon monster on the TV screen She takes another puff and says, "It's a crazy scene" That red is green And she's a tangerine
I'm too high I'm too high But I ain't left the ground I'm too high I'm too high I hope I never ever come down
She's the girl in her life But her world's a superficial paradise She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice But no dice She wasn't very nice Ow
I'm too high I'm too high I can't ever touch the sky I'm too high I'm so high I feel like I'm about to die
She's a girl of the past I guess that I got to her at last A did you hear the news about the girl today? She passed away What did her friend say? They said she's too high Too high Can't hang around anyway
my man for 50 years, larger than life
> me watching spongebob while high
> take another drag
> be like "man, that's a crazy scene"
Music is supposed to touch hearts and minds, not masturbation, the same all over
The First song I do not like . The Drums are horrible. No Spirit. Just Crab

When a man is this good and creates over and over being blind you have to say he is a virtuoso!

This sounds s m o o t h .
Like butter.
I always play this dong(album) in the Fall. Love it!!!
sampled by the alkoholiks / the liks

this song should have been on the charts.
It's an antidrug song and well deserved accolades for it. Wonderful message! And the audio is great!
Musical as F…
So timeless
Smoke weed to this song I'm 2 high
The harmonica duet is awesome
The greatest artist and humanitarian
Brings back memories of my older brother playing this on record when I was a child in elementary…..man time flies….
Stevie tells a story in every song and make it sound too good to not play!
Underrated af
honestly, derek trucks band did it better.
He is all that

I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky
I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't touched the sky
She's a girl in a dream
She sees a four-eyed cartoon monster on the TV screen
She takes another puff and says, "It's a crazy scene"
That red is green
And she's a tangerine
I'm too high
I'm too high
But I ain't left the ground
I'm too high
I'm too high
I hope I never ever come down
She's the girl in her life
But her world's a superficial paradise
She had a chance to make it big more than once or twice
But no dice
She wasn't very nice
Ow
I'm too high
I'm too high
I can't ever touch the sky
I'm too high
I'm so high
I feel like I'm about to die
She's a girl of the past
I guess that I got to her at last
A did you hear the news about the girl today?
She passed away
What did her friend say?
They said she's too high
Too high
Can't hang around anyway
