Born and raised in the historic East Bay, Thomas was exposed at a early age to the music of iconic East Bay artists like Tower of Power and Sly & the Family Stone, groups he now counts as some of his biggest influences. But everything changed one day in 1991, when, at the age of seven, Thomas walked into a record store and, with his saved up lunch money, purchased a used cassette tape called Jackson 5: Anthology. Since then, Thomas has been addicted to the sweet grooves of the late 60s and early 70s, especially those emanating from Motown, and has made it his undertaking to channel many of those sounds in his music today. As a singer, songwriter, and guitarist raised on a steady diet of old school funk, rock, and soul, Thomas also attributes many of his musical sensibilities to monumentally influential artists like Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Billy Preston, and Bobby McFerrin and groups like Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire. On the rock side of things, his primary influences are more contemporary Coldplay, Keane, and John Mayer chief among them.

After teaming up with multi-talented, veteran producer and guitarist, Chris Camozzi, in 2006, Thomas recorded a series of demos at the legendary Plant Studios, where the fingerprints of Prince and Stevie Wonder still remain - an experience Thomas has described as extremely humbling. At this early stage in his career, Thomas has already had the opportunity to record with musicians like percussionist Karl Perazzo (Santana, Jason Mraz), keyboardist Sundra Manning (Prince), drummer Brian Collier (Lauryn Hill), and lead guitarist Jeff Tamelier (formerly of Tower of Power), among others. Today, Thomas continues to write, record, and hone his craft. These new tracks and more are now available on MySpace and PureVolume and iTunes.

So High
Marc Thomas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well theres something about September
That makes me feel so new inside
And Im thinking by mid-November
Ill be ready for our hearts to collide

Well, every once in a while, girl, love can be deceiving
But youre a once in a lifetime kind of feeling
Oh, girl you take me so high
And I dont know if Ill ever come down
And girl I cant say goodbye
I just cant live my life on solid ground

Oh, we are so happy in my dreams
Oh, and its even better than it seems

Id be a fool if I were to let you go
Oh, and I aint no fool so I aint bout to let you go

Oh, goodnight, good day, oh my my, just forget it, hallelujah
Girl I think you stole my heart
So put a flower in your hair
And a sunrise in your pocket
Tell me you love me if you dare

Well every once in a while my head and my heels have been misleading
But youre a once in a lifetime kind of feeling

Oh, girl you take me so high
And I dont know if Ill ever be back down
And girl I cant say goodbye
I just cant live my life on solid ground

Oh, we are so happy in my dreams
Oh, and its even better than it seems

Id be a fool if I were to let you go
Do I look like fool?
No I aint gonna let you go

And Time
Time will pass us by
But itll pass us beneath us
Time will never find us way up here in the sky

You and I
Never been
So alive

Oh, girl you take me so high
And I dont know if Ill ever come back down

Oh, girl you take me so high
And I dont know if Ill ever come down
And girl I cant say goodbye
I just cant live my life on solid ground

Oh, we are so happy in my dreams
Oh, and its even better than it seems

Id be a fool if I were to let you go




Oh, and aint no fool and I aint bout to let you go
I said Im not gonna, no Im not gonna, said no, no, no

Perfect !!! my favorite song by this singer ! Thanks for sharing this track here ! now I would like a music video made by himself or a live performance...

@loreleimcbroom328

I've loved this guy since 2011 when I first discovered him on MySpace. He's got great talent!!!

@talon3684

Same here! That's when I first discovered him, MySpace. Used to have this album and my music files got corrupted and I lost it. I don't know if he ever did other music outside of this EP but over a decade later, it still resonates with me. Good quality!

@OoCabralitaoO

I would love from him to develop an actual album and have videos of his own.. but it looks like his sound is not catchy enough .. :(
