Music Today: 'Higher' by Creed.Long ago in a band far, far away, I could cover U2 songs in a passable fashion. Those days are long gone, but my Scott Stapp imitation still held up. One of my favorite worship band memories from a few years back was preparing a cover of this for a youth retreat when several members of the NA chapter meeting in the church came up to check it out.
