Eight Miles High - Byrds, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
Eight Miles High (Byrds, The, 1965). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-01-04. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"
"Eight Miles High" was the Byrds' 6th Billboard Hot 100 charted release landing at #14 in 1966 (Whitburn, 2013). The single was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 (grammy.com, 2022). The song is also listed on the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll" (everythingilluminate.wordpress.com, 2022). Some people believed that the song was about drug use; however, when Songfacts asked Roger McGuinn if the song was really about drugs, he said: "Well, it was done on an airplane ride to England and back. I'm not denying that the Byrds did drugs at that point - we smoked marijuana - but it wasn't really about that" (songfacts.com, 2016). The band members claimed it was inspired by a flight where singer Gene Clark asked McGuinn how high they were in the sky. McGuinn told him six miles, but changed the milage to eight miles for the song (songfacts.com, 2022).
