High (Lighthouse Family song)


"High" is the second pop single written by British duo Lighthouse Family for their second album Postcards from Heaven. The song was produced by Mike Peden. It was released in January 1998 and is the most successful single released by the Lighthouse Family so far. It reached number four on the UK Singles Chart, number eight in New Zealand and number one in Australia. In Europe the song reached the top 10 in at least eight countries, while in North America it became the duo's only charting hit, peaking at number 10 on the Canadian RPM Adult Contemporary chart, number 23 on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and number 21 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart.

Music video

The video clip is in black and white, except when Tunde Baiyewu begins to sing. There are scenes of Paul Tucker getting off the train at Newcastle upon Tyne and exiting the city's Central Station. There are also scenes of Tunde singing in an autumn park and the Tynemouth beach, standing outside the Cruddas Park flats in Elswick, a girl lying and rolling on the grass while playing with flowers, and an abandoned house near Dungeness.
Filmed in North East England and Kent, the video shows some prominent local landmarks: the Tyne Bridge is shown at the very start along with the Quayside, and a number of shots of Baiyewu take place on the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge, Port Clarence and Haverton Hill, which is also the backdrop for the single covers.
