You know that was the
last thing on [C#]my mind
are there any is there anything anybody
two miles high yes that one
I you know that is part of the fun
of doing this
is one thing we get to do or I get to do
is yeah that too oh
we had a beauty a couple of nights ago
that get to sing the songs
as they were written with a guitar
you know or you know
I mean some of
them are written with piano
plus I don't play me
but the we get to do the songs
as as you know
you hear them as they were written
without all the embellishments
of the band.
Eight Miles High. As
[E]it was written.[E][B]
Well let me tell you about that.
You know the title
Eight Miles High, really.
Well you thought of it
you're too young to think of it right
okay no but but the title actually came
from a conversation on an airplane
and Roger McGuinn and I were talking to each
other
and he says how high do you think
we're flying
and I said I don't know
how high we're flying.
He six miles.
I said boy that would be a good song
title.
said yeah but six miles high
doesn't sound quite right.
It didn't. Six miles high
doesn't really sound quite right.
So it ended up being eight miles high,
even though that's not
how high we were flying.
