Story Behind The Song
While I was an accountant in NYC I began to feel very lost, and confused about who I was. I found myself seeking validation in so many ways, but couldn't find the confidence I was looking for.
Desperate to express my feelings, I decided to write my first EDM song that would later be named "High in the Sky".
HITS represents the moment I was finally willing to FAIL at my dreams by sharing a piece of myself through music. The part of my life I captured was this imagination of what life would be like once I finally took that step. When I finally chose to believe in myself and go for something I always wanted.
Putting out this song was exactly that. Making it in DUBSTEP? A reminder to myself where my inspirations in music came from. A beacon for myself during times where I needed to be reminded of where this all started and where I wanted to end up.
I hope this song embodies that drive, determination, and ecstasy of achieving your dreams.
Song Description
The first verse describes the emotional struggle we have when trying to believe in ourselves. That moment when seeking validation from those around us and how it can momentarily mimic confidence in ourselves.
The Pre-Chorus builds up in a classic EDM fashion as we recollect the physical feelings, memories, and determination that will send us into the drop of the Chorus. A dynamic dubstep inspired instrumental that embodies the ecstasy of drowning in your dreams.
Verse two describes the physical influences on this moment as you begin to notice this is your moment. Greatness is at your doorstep but it is your choice to take that leap of faith.

Lyrics
High in the Sky
I hear them breathe
And they're screaming my own name
This all comes from feelings
When I'm touching you
Baby don't be ashamed
-hamed of meeee
You think about it way too much
Isn't this what they call real love
I've been waiting for so long
Even before the birth
Now I can feel all the chills
From all the mistakes that you make
Never again
How I can feel
The rise in my mind
I can't shake you
I will take you up to the sky
When I'm in the sky
I feel the burning in my chest
A sensation that never seems to rest
I feel it beating on my skin
The lights come out
And the sun falls down
Feel the rhythm in the way it sounds
It's something you'll never find again
Now I can feel
all the mistakes that you make
Never again
How I can feel
The rise in my mind
I can't shake you
I will take you up to the sky
When I'm in the sky
I swear my pain
My grip my touch
Feel the rhythm in the way we rush
I've been waiting for so long
Even before the birth
Now I can feel all the chills
From all the mistakes that you make
Never again
How I can feel
The rise in my mind
I can't shake you
I will take you up to the sky
When I'm in the sky
Your hand is around me
But you keep telling me to go
