I worked with Les as a keyboard player and wrote this song as a tribute when he sadly passed away in April 2021. Since this video I have recorded a new version with Les's touring band 'The Legendaries'. This was first released on a limited edition CD, but is now available for digital purchase and streaming.

Lyrics :

Fly So High - Alex Southgate (2021)

Verse 1
Starting young, you've got to be tough.
The world is hard, the world is rough.
But when your hopes, are riding high
Through the clouds, you see the sky.
Day be day, you’re moving on.
Friends are there and then they’re gone.
You had to make on your own
And music was the dream you’d hold.

CH
You had to to fly so high and never fall,
With your dreams in the sky above it all.
We heard your song and heard your call.
You’d fly so high, fly so high and never fall.

Verse 2
Some of them , would only see
The things that they, they want to see.
But others know, know what’s real.
They seems to know, just how you feel.
Day be day, you start to care.
Friends are all, now standing there.
You're no longer, all alone,
Now music is the love you share.

Chorus
You had to to fly so high and never fall,
With your dreams in the sky above it all.
We heard your song and heard your call.
You’d fly so high, fly so high and never fall

Refrain
All your hopes and dreams
Wrapped up all inside
And the way we feel tonight,
We won’t let let the music die...
You had to to fly so high and never fall,
With your dreams in the sky above it all.

Chorus
You had to to fly so high and never fall,
With your dreams in the sky above it all.
We heard your song and heard your call.
You’d fly so high, fly so high and never fall
We heard your song and heard your call.
You’d fly so high, fly so high and never fall

Still flying high you'll never fall.
