"Flying High A
gain" is a song by British heavy metal vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, from his 1981 album Diary of a Madman. Released as a single, it reached number two on the Billboard Top Tracks chart in 1982.
Although the song has been assumed to be about cannabis use, Osbourne has stated that the song was inspired by his successful re-emergence as a solo artist after being fired from Black Sabbath and subsequently believing his career was over.[citation needed] The song is in the key of Ab minor.
Gina Boldman of Allmusic praised Randy Rhoads's guitar solo in the song as one of his best. She called "Flying High Again" " a good-time heavy metal song that was hard to take seriously" but "one of Ozzy's most likable and memorable songs of his early-'80s period." In 2015, radio station 100.7 WZLX ranked it the 223rd greatest song.
An animated music video celebrating guitarist Randy Rhoads was released on November 5, 2021.
Lyrics
Oh no, oh no
Here we go now
Oh no, oh no
Here we go now
Got a crazy feeling I don't understand
'Gotta get away from here
Feelin' like I should have kept my feet on the ground
Waitin' for the sun to appear
Mamma's gonna worry
I've been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
'Cause you can't see what my eyes see
(I can see it, I can see it)
And you can't be inside of me
Flying high again
I can see through mountains, watch me disappear
I can even touch the sky
Swallowing colours of the sound I hear
Am I just a crazy guy (you bet)
Mamma's gonna worry
I've been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something that I enjoy
If you could be inside my head
You'd see that black and white is red
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Come on and join me
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Come on and join me
Oh no, oh no
Here we go now
Oh no, oh no
Here we go now
Daddy thinks I'm lazy he don't understand
Never saw inside my head
People think I'm crazy but I'm in demand
Never heard a thing I said
Mamma's gonna worry
I've been a bad, bad boy
No use sayin' sorry
It's something I enjoy
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
Flying high again
