Top Comments of this video!! :3
the video was made alongside my new friend Kevin. i met him by complete chance, as i was finishing up coloring for the DIMYU video. within 10 minutes of first meeting each other, we had started workshopping the concept for the video.. both of us felt drawn to the visual of a car driving through rain soaked streets in the middle of LA. like a downpour of emotion flooding my thoughts & begging me to react to it… within 2 weeks we were on set watching 30 friends run circles around my car as a rain machine poured on them (bless every one of you). this song & video are incredibly special to us. we’re thrilled to share it with you.

LYRICS:
high up, high up
been looking at the mountains high up
been looking at the mountains high up
high up, high up
behind your back a cold surprise
in favor of the third degree
i took a breath & took the knife
no i won’t defend the killer in me
& i wanted to but couldn’t die
i know you know what that’s been like
never backed down only fell down in blinding light
you pinned me under evening’s glow
didn’t count on you
but you counted all day
you’re breaking every rule
i’m breaking down on every corner
no, healing isn’t easy
but when you look at me i’m lifted high up
higher than my rain clouds
sitting on the mountain now i’m high up
never wanna come down
when you look at me i’m lifted
blue skies are all i see when
your eyes are locked on me i’m high up
never wanna come down
high up
so when i met my darkest hour
a traitor to the bleeding night
you saw me cowered in the corner
& offered me a second chance
now every night i wrestle Love
didn’t know that it could hurt this much
i count to 3 & take the jump
& never really hit the ground
‘cause when you look at me i’m lifted high up
higher than my rain clouds
sitting on the mountain now i’m high up
never wanna come down
when you look at me i’m lifted
blue skies are all i see when
your eyes are locked on me i’m high up
never wanna come down
high up

This song is following on from Breakfast. “Should I run to the mountains?” “Been looking at the mountains.” Breakfast is about being so broken and lost you’re just barely able to open yourself up to God and to healing. High Up is the same moment, after you’ve grown more accustomed to opening yourself up. You feel more restoration and joy and open yourself up more willingly

As usual Half-alive has once again made a masterpiece, i can never tell what genre their songs go under but there's always something spiritual or soulful about them. I love the lyrics, the vocals and instrumental arrangments, they all work together perfectly to create an atmosphere only they can make.

Shaping up to be the best album so far, in the time since 'still feel' theres been so many moving parts, an idea thats been growing and evolving with the addition of so many people. You guys kept adding and refining everything with the end goal of something more in mind, now it just feel like its here, its perfect and you're ready. Go for it boys.

I'd now like to think the 3 of you occasionally walk in sync closely together
