background
This song appeared on the first track listing for Black And White 050505.

The song's about Jim's home town of Taormina, Sicily: "a picture postcard." This was reinforced by the Internet style Taormina.me postfix added to the song's title at almost the last minute. (It didn't appear until the final promo for the album).

"A relocation to the most southern tip of Europe, the studio version was written and recorded in Sicily. Different World is our escape anthem" - Jim

"Those familiar with our latest album Big Music will know all about Midnight Walking. However it is actually 'morning walkin' up and down these hills - around 6 am usually - that many of the ideas for new songs fall into place. Such was the case over a decade ago with this song, such was the case recently as the creativity continues in Taormina, Sicily. - Jim, 22nd February 2016




lyrics
It's alright.
It's alright.

Let me go high.
Let me go high.

Let me go high,
Into a different world.
Let me go high,
Into a different world.

It's alright, it's OK, to believe in something,
You find the spark inside yourself,
It begins from nothing,
From the man in the cave,
To the soul in the grave,
For the love of God,
Let me go now.

Let me go high,
Into a different world.
Let me go high,
Into a different world.
High,
In a different world.
Let me go high,
Into a different world.

It's alright, it's OK, to believe in something,
But if it falls between ourselves,
Could kill like nothing.
From the man in the cave,
To the soul of the brave,
For the love of God,
Let me go now.

Let me go high,
Into a different world.
Let me go high,
Into a different world.
Let me go high,
Into a different world.
High,
Into a different world.
