John Taylor (bass guitarist)
Nigel John Taylor (born 20 June 1960) is an English musician who is best known as the bass guitarist and co-founder of new wave band Duran Duran. Duran Duran were one of the most popular groups in the world during the 1980s due to their revolutionary music videos that played in heavy rotation in the early days of MTV. Taylor played with Duran Duran from its founding in 1978 until 1997, when he left to pursue a solo recording and film career. He recorded a dozen solo releases (albums, EPs, and video projects) through his company "Trust The Process" over the next four years, had a lead role in the movie Sugar Town, and made appearances in a half dozen other film projects. He rejoined Duran Duran for a reunion of the original five members of the group in 2001 and has remained with the group since.
Taylor was also a member of two supergroups: Power Station and Neurotic Outsiders.
History
John Taylor grew up in Hollywood, a suburb of Birmingham, England. As a child he attended Our Lady of the Wayside Catholic school and the Abbey High School, in Redditch, wore glasses (due to severe myopia, over -10 dioptres), enjoyed James Bond movies and the hobby of wargaming with hand-painted model soldiers. In his early teen years, he discovered music, choosing Roxy Music as his favourite band, and before long was collecting records and teaching himself to play piano. His first band was called Shock Treatment.

Just Another High
by: John TaylorMaybe your heart is aching
I wouldn't know, now would I?
Maybe your spirit's breaking up
I shouldn't care, now should I?
Maybe you're thinking of me
Well, I wouldn't know, now would I?
If only you knew how I feel oh,
I wish I could die, don't I?
Couldn't believe in my eyes
You drifted into my life
But marriages made in Heaven
Can they survive in this life?
Surely it came as no surprise
Love was too hot to handle
Well I really blew my cool
And you just blew out the candle
I'm just another crazy guy
Playing at love was another high
Just another high
Lately it seems so empty here
But I suppose I'm all right
Maybe tomorrow's not so clear
Still I remember that night
Singing to you like this is
My only way to reach you
And though I'm too proud to say it
Oh how I long to see you
Shattered my dreams by your good-bye
Scattered my hopes they fill the sky
Desolate am I
I'm just another crazy guy
Playing at love was another high
Just another high
Just another high
Just another high
Just another high
Just another high
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Just another high
Maybe I got stuck on you
Just another high
