The song is dedicated to Chris Anderson who was a great friend of mine. Chris was a great source of encouragement and faith when I was diagnosed, and subsequently cleared, of having cancer. Tragically, in one of life’s cruel twists of fate, Chris was himself diagnosed with the illness not long after my own all clear. He put up a tremendous battle and always stayed cheerful in the face of mounting pressure to himself and his family. He stayed brave to the end, only mentioning his true feelings once, to his wife Jan, asking her to pass on his beloved Gibson Les Paul guitar to me should he not make it. Chris passed away shortly before the recording of the ‘Rise’ album. I dedicated ‘High On The Hill’ to Chris and also used his guitar to record the song with. His family were all present for the recording session. He will be missed by all who knew him but never forgotten – Mike Peters
