"Back On Top" from Van's highly regarded album on the same name from 1999. It sounds like Van knew the album would be a great success based on this song and album title.
He had his share of disappointments from the late 70s through the 80s and 90s, with the occasional good album, but this album is like a 2nd "Moondance" - every song is great.
Still, in typical Van fashion things are not all sunshine and rainbows: the bridge goes
"Always strivin', always climbing way beyond my will
Same old sensation, isolation at the top of the bill
Always seeming, like I'm moving but I'm really going slow
What do you do when you get to the top and there's nowhere to go"
As great as it is to be back on top, its lonely up there and there is nowhere to go.
