I’m proud to present you “Higher“. A rock/prog/funk/art/orchestral song. George and I feel that this is the best track on the record.
This is a conceptual song that describes 3 phases of domestic violence and rape. Phase one starts with kinky voice of a father in verses, phase 2 is little girl screaming in chorus.
Phase 3 is asking “why is she the victim“ that comes after a magnificent guitar solo from Lynch and “dying“ which happens with the last chord of the song.
My strongest lyrical and music work lies in conceptual and prog songs (people that listened to my solo record I did in 2014 know that) I wrote so far.
If you’re a fan of Steven Wilson, Led Zeppelin, Ayreon, Genesis, Badlands, Dream Theater... , this is for ya. Enjoy.
