Higher Ground (Stevie Wonder song)
"Higher Ground" is a funk song written by Stevie Wonder which first appeared on his 1973 album ''Innervisions''. The song reached #4 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and #1 on the US Hot R&B Singles chart. Wonder wrote and recorded the song in a three-hour burst of creativity in May 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Power in the Darkness )〕 The album version of the song contains an extra verse and runs 30 seconds longer than the single version. The unique wah-clavinet sound in the song was achieved with a Mu-tron III envelope filter pedal. The bass line is provided by a Moog synthesizer. Using overdubs, Wonder played all instruments on the track, including drums.
The song was also released in the UK "Higher Ground" but achieved only modest success, reaching only #29 in the UK Singles Chart.

The song lyrics address the issue of reincarnation. Wonder commented, when interviewed by ''The New York Times'':
I would like to believe in reincarnation. I would like to believe that there is another life. I think that sometimes your consciousness can happen on this earth a second time around. For me, I wrote Higher Ground even before the accident. But something must have been telling me that something was going to happen to make me aware of a lot of things and to get myself together. This is like my second chance for life, to do something or to do more, and to value the fact that I am alive.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Big American Night - Holy Roller )〕
