lyrics

Mmh
Ooh
Higher
Higher
Saying higher
Ayy
Tell me why you're crying now kini big deal
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
When you gave me something I don't really feel
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
But you knew that already
When I found you on the ground
You were dying (higher, higher, higher, higher)
Now you come into my yard, uninvited
Can you see me on the edge?
I'm enlightened (higher, higher, higher, higher)
If the world was ending
Would you cry or would try to get me?
Tell me now, I want you to be clear, yeah (tell me)
Tell me now, I need you to be clear, yeah (tell me)
I will wait for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
Get me
Can you put the time on a rewind, yeah?
Help me understand, can you tell me now?
Why you made the war that we're fighting now?
(Higher, higher, higher, higher)
And you fall and you run when you see my big guns
Run around, run away as the rebel comes out
Then you call, call on me when you call me I come
But there you go again (there you go)
With your deaf ears
Open your mind to the sound of the trumpet
What do want from a life of the hopeless? (of the hopeless)
Now here you are and you're begging and crying (and your crying)
I want to fly, yeah, I'm flying 'til morning
Running away to the land of discovery
Running away from the suffering, I'm gone, yeah
Running away from the darkness, I'm out here, yeah (higher, higher)
Higher than all the limits
Going way beyond the noise and your feelings
When you speak all I can hear is silence
Turning back from from all the pain and violence
Big tunes, now it's big tunes I'm killing
Cry now from the side now, call my name
Fall down when you see me, you know that
You know that I won't stay for you, you
I will wait for you for you, for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you

Untourable Album
by Men I Trust

supported by 9 fans who also own “Higher (Live Performance) - Open Mic”

A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo

It Is What It Is
by Thundercat

supported by 9 fans who also own “Higher (Live Performance) - Open Mic”

saw Thundercat for the first time recently - truly a GOAT of live performers. this album is him in his most honest, focused, and emotional state, and it beautifully intertwines his silly artistic voice with his stories of struggle and loss. the album is short and sweet - BUT, if you want to see him and his friends jam a little longer on these ideas, definitely see him live. the dude literally practices like Coltrane and it shows. zilla

UNTITLED (Rise)
by SAULT

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
