More about "High"
The song "High" started off life as a simple idea on an acoustic guitar. An ode to my, at the time, new wife, trying to express something that is always hard to express in words: love. And what often happens to such song ideas when you write something so personal? Your ego, in its attempt to protect you from exposing itself, quietly buries the idea in the back of your mind where it waits to either eventually vanish into oblivion or one day bravely announce its feelings in public. What then transpired was a fifteen-year battle with myself to get the song out of my head and into the world. So why now? The key word for me was „vulnerability“. I feel there aren't enough songs out there where the artist truly reveals his innermost self. With „High“ I wanted to change that. The significance of the release date: my 16th wedding anniversary. They say some things are worth the wait and, with "High", I hope my wife agrees.
