The story behind the song

"Higher" emerged from the band's early live shows, born out of improvisation when they needed to extend their setlist. The song began with the drummer's rhythm, followed by the guitarist's chord progression, all spontaneously created to engage the audience. It was later refined from these live recordings, capturing that initial burst of creativity. Playing this song can feel like channeling that raw, unscripted energy of a band building a moment together on stage.
