Always loved the Commodores. This song was one of my favorites. It has new meaning to me today. I am 68 years old, diabetic, trying to lose a little weight. And I LOVE walking. Every day for at least an hour. Outside. Not in a gym. Breathing the fresh air. On a trail. Or in an interesting neighborhood. Walking is SO GOOD for you. Being diabetic it helps me control my weight and blood sugar. Walking outdoors also does wonders for your mental health. So blessed to be able to walk. Love the bright sunshine. Love good music. Love being around positive people. So thankful to God for all these blessings. If you want to feel better, walk. If even for a few minutes a day. God bless you.
I love this song! It's so free and easy. I am high on sunshine. That's all that I need. Thank you Lionel Richie for this beautiful song. It's so inspiring. Love you! Love you!❤❤❤❤❤
Tripping on the life that I'm living. Life's too short to bother me, World. Give me room to see where I'm going. All I want is to be stone free. Free like the wind that blows, yeah. Mind blowing lyrics. ❤
I woke up with this song in my head. All i could remember of the lyrics were; ' trippin on the life that im living Im 61 now, I was a girl when the lyrics touched my soul! Wow! Time FLEW by... And the words mean so much as I reflect on the last 4 + decades!

You could prescribe yourself a ketogenic diet, sunshine, extra sleep, some broad spectrum minerals, fat soluble vitamins, omega 3 fatty acids, a parasite cleans, and some self love. Throw in a metals cleans, and and some vitamin C, no more doctor treatments, and you'd be good to go.
Hello, I, wish you the best, I, discovered that I, had prostate cancer in 2021, it was hard on me at first had to come out of not talking to anyone for 3 days, I, called my daughter she's having a baby on August 26th, gotta travel to Milwaukee Wisconsin to see my 2nd granddaughter it's a blessing, God Bless You My Friend
Today is the day I prepare myself to go the funeral of the last patriarc of my family. The first man to ever take me fishing as a young buy. A man that treated me and my sisters like his own. My cousin Ray. Those days in the 70's we would spend at his house in the 70's. Picking vegetables out of his garden and him taking us to the country store in the back of his truck. I thank for him being a great man to mean. It's funny how I got in my car this morning and this song came on. Those beautiful days and people are gone now.
It makes me tear up listening to this. This music is so untainted. These lyrics “I’m high on sunshine. Take all my blues away. It’s sunny!!!” Simply beautiful.
I cried when I heard this song today...took me back to being a little girl in the 70's growing up in Las Vegas with my mother, father and sister...not a care in the world! Now my father and sister are deceased and my mom is at a nursing home fighting to live...very sad but I will forever treasure my wonderful childhood and all the wonderful soul-stirring music of the 70's! The Commodores were so good:) EDIT: Thanks for all the kind words! It's now April 2020, my mom passed away last October so I'm truly on my own. Now we have this awful virus that's killing so many of our brothas & sistas. Trying to stay strong and praying for all of us to pull through this:)
God bless you and your family Monica. You making me wanna cry! My dad is deceased also.. Time does bring on a change but MEMORIES LAST FOREVER. Thanks be to God for remembering the good times. This is truly a Feel Good song for MANY of us. Praying for us all.
Monica R young sista you are so right about all of that when you talk about your mother your father and your sista and not a care in the world . you no I lived that same life and it was so peaceful . but if you don't have a Hart you could never I dennafy.love you for speaking up on that peace.
This is my ALLLLLLLL TIME FAVORITE Commodores jam. Thank you so much for posting. I keep playing this over and over and over. Alllll I want to be is stone free...Free like the wind blows. They lyrics are AWESOME!!
@@zscottdavis9567 "I don't know why i love you like i do there's something about you that keeps my mind on baby Heaven knows" Zscott , that's one of my favorites by the Commodores too!!😎
Riding my bike in the summer, at 12yrs old ! Watching the neighbors cut their grass, another neighbor washing his car, the older guys playing basketball in the park, and girls eating sno-cones as bbq smoke is in the air. Dogs are barking, and all of us are high on sunshine. 👍🌤️
It’s amazing how music can mark a place in time in your life, and it can make you remember things that happened 40 years ago....with accuracy lol.. .....Even the way I was feeling at that time. This music sounds good still it brings a tear to my eye...
High On Sunshine, High on Life' High on this song and this Good Ol' School Music. You Know, you just got to give thanks unto Almighty God for being raised back in the day of this time and era, when we had inspirational and uplifting music like this! Thanks for this post! Peace and Blessings.
Such a beautiful song 🎶🎤 brings back fond memories growing up in the 70's. While shopping at old navy today this came on and I was like whooow!! Made my shopping experience even more pleasant LOL! They play alot of GOOD music in they're store. Every song that comes on I'm like heyyy okay now!! 😆
I absolutely looove all these beautiful spiritual comments 💞❤️ I can absolutely relate to these comments, ya'll bought tears to my eyes, happy tears & sadness, but I cherished my childhood back in the 70's listening to all our wonderful phenomenal artists back in our day, simply peaceful & full of respect & love. I love all of y'all on this RUclips channel. Love peace & blessing's stay safe to each & everyone of ya'll. ❤️💞💗💕💜🌹🎉😊
I believe it's been over 40 years since I've heard this song and it immediately took me back when there wasn't a care in the world all was good, now I'll play this song every time I want to go back to those days so that means often.
I took my nephew to a fair in MI in the mid nineties. I knew the Commodore would be there. The crowd was more than I expected. They played a catalog of music that I had forgotten. Èven though I had seen them several times as a youth, I gained a renewed respect for the Commodore that day. Lionel had been long gone into has solo career by then, so I must admit, I was not expecting much. But I received an awful lot. Good times.
My best friend's uncle managed them. Too many great memories and I even forgot this one until today. Well I guess that I am getting old after all. Best summer job ever , I sold tee shirts, necklaces,and glow rings to crowds on a tour of the south. I'd like to say that I remember all the cities. But I don't ! Rip Benny Ashburn mgr for the Commodores
I feel the same like everybody else. With this song come soooo many wonderful memories of times gone, but not forgotten. Thanks to the commodores for beautiful music that will always be there for generations to enjoy!!!
Hi Bruce, thank you for viewing and commenting, it much appreciated, glad you enjoyed it! I love this song...Lionel and the fellas voices and groove was on point and pure truth.
6/14/24 It's 90° in Florida, so before we hit 100° n Hurricane Season🙏... Let me just be thankful for what is "growing on" in my garden right now. 🙌 #WellWellWellWell👩🏽🌾🙌
This Music means so much to so many..its the only real Time Machine there is....Monica hang on to and celebrate those memories every chance you get..theyre beautiful as you are!! Stay Gold My Sister.Sending Positive Energy Your Way..Love Is Love...
Love so many of their songs, but this will always be my favorite. Can’t believe I’ve been listening to it since I was a kid off the album. I think this Lionel’s favorite, too.
Me and my husband was singing this in the car. Made me think of being a kid in the 70's. Long car rides with my family. Visiting my cousins that were older they the had cool stuff. Mostly they had the coolest music!!!
This is a timeless jam. Lionel Ritchie really has some songs that are undeniably masterpieces. One of a few huge stars still alive.Stevie Wonder, Elton John are at the top then the tier down would be Ritchie, Billie Joel, Sting,McCartney, so and so forth
WOW WOW WOW. This is the first time that I have heard this song since my sophomore year at Eastern Kentucky University in 1977. I was riding with two sistas, on our way to a game against Western Kentucky University. I don't remember much about them only that one's name was Janet and the other joined Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. I started my journey to Alpha Phi Alpha that same year. My how the time does fly
I was in junior high when this came out y'all know I'm pushing on some years right now. Nevertheless this is still the jam Commodores was something special I mean they had their slamming dance tunes don't get me wrong. But Zoom high on Sunshine just to be close to you. That's the classics!
Man, they do some serious harmonizing on this song. The Commodores at their best could hang w/any group, including my fav, EWF, during the Lionel Richie era...😎
military days, what memories, some good, some bad. really miss the men an women I served with. miss you, think of you often an hope life is treating you well !!!! MUCH RESPECT!!!
Very nice work on the video, Miss Penelope Nice to know some people still get high on life, other than the alternatives. Keep up the excelent work. By the way, love your taste in music pretty lady.
It took me to go through life in darkness to appreciate where I am at today. This jam popped up on my mind and wouldn't leave, now I know why... This is where I am at today. HIGH ON NOTHING BUT SUNSHINE. What a beautiful video too.😉
I have never herd this beautiful song before and I love this….love it so much I just added it to my playlist!!
Lionel has such a gift with words. When he says "I'm Free Forever" touches my soul.
I Absolutely Love This Song Still One of My Favorites
