The Feelies es un grupo de rock alternativo de Haledon, Nueva Jersey., formado en 1976 . La formación inicial del grupo contaba con Glenn Mercer (guitarra y voz), Bill Million (guitarra y voz), Keith Clayton (bajo) y Anton Fier (batería). Posteriormente se incorporaron a la banda Brenda Sauter y Stan Demeski. Se habían separado en 1992 y se volvieron a reunir en el 2008.
Rara vez trabajaban con productores ajenos y preferían producir sus propios discos creando un sonido particular lleno de ecos, murmullos y dobles guitarras.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

While printing my CRD version of 'Higher Ground' by the Feelies that is currently at the OLGA, I noticed that I reversed a chord sequence throughout the song (the perils of cut 'n paste). The good (well, better) version follows.
Higher Ground (Glenn Mercer) Recorded by The Feelies on "Only Life" 1988
G D Em (4x solo 8x with band, vocal enters on 8)
GDEm On my way
GDEm Head-ing down
GDEm Time to find
GDEm High - er Ground
GDEm In your arms
GDEm In my dreams
GDEm With you there
GDEm With you there
Chorus:
CGD Be my light
CGD By my side
CGD With you there
CGD Be my guide
Verse II:
On your way Try to find Higher gorund For all time On your way Find a way In the light Hey, hey, hey
Chorus II (slightly different lyrics):
Be my light By my side With you there Be my guide
Bridge:
Em (4x; let ring)
Guitar break through end of song:
Verse chords w/guitar solo until fatigued or batteries wear out in Tube Screamer. End on Em.
This is one of the greatest jam songs since "Down by the River" and the slower you play the lead, the better it sounds. Get that "woman tone" and let the notes ring.
