178. Creed, "Higher"

October 16-22, November 27 - December 3 & December 11-17, 1999



I can still remember the first time I heard the chorus guitar hook. I was getting a hoagie at McLanahan's at the corner of Shortlidge & College. I thought, "Christ, this song is going to be inescapable. They're going to get even more popular. Aw, fuck." I can laugh about it now.

Can you take me Higher?

NEEner-NEEner-NEER.
To a place where blind men see?
Can you take me Higher?

NEEner-NEEner-NEER.
To a place with golden streets?

Comments:
I know this is knee-jerk, but "Higher" over "The Way"? Really?
 
See its use in The Skulls. "The Way" may be a more respectable deployment of hooks, but it doesn't make me smile as wide. NEEner-NEEner-NEER!
