High

Davis Gestiehr’s latest single, ‘High,’ delves into the complexities of anxiety and the temptation to self-medicate. With its upbeat percussion and fuzzy guitars, the song captures the addictive and energetic rush often associated with substance use.

Gestiehr’s gravelly vocals convey the underlying tension and frustration experienced by those struggling with anxiety. ‘High’ serves as a sonic embodiment of the phrase ‘if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry,’ reminding listeners that sometimes, the only way to cope with life’s challenges is to find humor and lightheartedness.

I think it’s a very universal experience to feel as if you’re wasting your life away and watching as experiences and opportunities pass you by. I feel like this song portrays the idea that it’s easier to face those realities when high, rather than when sober.

I’ve always been a fan of the relationship between cynical, depressing lyrics paired with an upbeat, optimistic soundscape. I grew up listening to bands like The Cure who are masters of that. To me there has always been something so fascinating about pain being a semblance to driving drums and jangly guitars.
