"She's So High" — Tal Bachman

Tal Bachman was born in Winnipeg on August 13, 1968, the son of Randy Bachman of The Guess Who and Bachman–Turner Overdrive. He served a two-year Mormon mission in Argentina, and wrote "She's So High" about a high-school scheme: "I attempted to bribe the hottest girl in our high school to go out on a date with" his stepbrother. He has credited Sheryl Crow's "If It Makes You Happy" for the chord progression, moved to a different key, and played his father's 1962 Fender Stratocaster and a 12-string electric on the recording, cut at Plantation Mixing and Recording in Maui with co-producer Bob Rock.

Columbia released the single on February 13, 1999, ahead of the self-titled debut album on April 13. The album stalled at number 124 on the Billboard 200, but the song did the work: number 14 on the Hot 100 that August, three weeks at number one on Adult Top 40, number three in Canada and number one on three Canadian radio formats, top ten in Australia and New Zealand, number 30 in the UK, and 51st on the American year-end chart for 1999. The video cast Yvonne Sciò as a winged angel in a World War II pilot's cap walking a highwire above a glass of water strung between two buildings.

It won a BMI award and, at the 2000 Junos, Best New Solo Artist plus Best Producer for Bachman and Rock. Nothing else caught: the second album, Staring Down the Sun, came out in Canada on Sextant Records in 2004 and in the US in 2006, its single "Aeroplane" reaching number 20 in Canada. Bachman left the LDS church in the early 2000s and talked about it in the PBS documentary The Mormons and Bill Maher's Religulous. A Kurt Nilsen cover of "She's So High" went to number one in Norway in 2003, and in 2023 Bachman joined his father's band, Bachman–Turner Overdrive.
