about

Dillon Currie is back with the third single from his upcoming debut album, ‘Vines of Time’, a 10-song LP due out September 8, 2023.

‘Higher Than the Clouds’ is a dreamy, tantalizing tragedy inspired by the famous English nursery rhyme, 'Humpty Dumpty'. ‘Higher Than the Clouds’ details the rise—and unfortunate fall—of an aspiring star and like any good children’s tale, it serves as a cautionary tale which reminds us that fame is not always what it’s cracked up to be.

Featuring gently dancing acoustic guitars and an almost trance-inducing lyrical design, this heartbreaking fall-from-grace tale takes the listener on a journey up, and all the way over ‘the wall’—spiraling down in gorgeous, devastating fashion.

lyrics

Higher Than the Clouds
All of the practice for all of the shows
All of the new songs that nobody knows
All of the hard work is gonna pay off
All of the people will stand and applaud

When you’re higher than the mountains
When you’re higher than the clouds

All of the money, all of the fame
All of a sudden, well all of it came
And all of the people surround you and say,
All of this time, man, we knew that someday

You’d be higher than the mountains
You’d be higher than the clouds

Higher than the mountains
Higher than the clouds
Higher than the mountains
Never coming down

All of the late nights all over the world
All of the parties and all of the girls
All of your friends start looking the other way
All of them are happy as long as you stay

Higher than the mountains
Higher than the clouds
Higher than the mountains
Never looking down

All of the hard work gets washed down the drain
By all of the hard drugs and all of the pain
And all of the people who thought you were great
All of them slowly start fading away

And you’re higher than the mountains
You’re higher than the clouds
