Eén van onze meest favoriete artiesten is toch wel Emeli Sandé. Vandaag gaat de video in première van haar nieuwe single HIGHER. Het nummer is een samenwerking met rapper Giggs. De track vind je terug op haar eerder deze maand uitgebrachte EP “Kingdom Coming”. Over de clip meldt de Britse zangeres: “We shot this on our one day off in between tour dates. It was such a pleasure to get to know Giggs better and to work with two directors I admire so much creatively, Myles Whittingham & Christopher Cargill. I feel like this video really reflects what inspired the song perfectly.”
LYRICS:
(Verse 1)
So high that the airplanes are empty
Yes, you know it’s dangerous, this high
So high that the highs and lows are always highs and never lows
You know no lies
So high that the atmosphere is different here
It’s pretty clear to see love’s here
Oh, love, no fear, oh, love, oh, love
(Hook)
Take me higher, take me higher
Take me high, high, higher
Take me higher, take me higher
Take me high, high, higher
(Verse 2)
So high that the astronauts look after us
Yeah, heaven touches us this high
So high we’re above the sun
The pain is gone, the pain is gone, yeah, no, no cry
So high that the galaxies are at our feet
It’s pretty clear to see love’s here
Oh, love, no fear, oh, love, oh, love
(Hook)
Take me higher, take me higher
Take me high, high, higher
Take me higher, take me higher
Take me high, high, higher
(Bridge 1)
Man of us, man of party
They don’t know but god, they just cop a shorty
They don’t have your back they crying [proper something?]
Weighing up the stacks, she got the pot of coffee
Finish off the track he wants the proper copy
I ain’t even gas a man up proper cocky
I’m just in that zone, you keep on knockin’, knockin’
When I’m in the zone, I need that proper lockin’
Got that [?]
Got me on my poetry with extra toppins
When I rip that flow-etry, yes the [?]
When I say that [?] get some goffin’
Yeah, fuck a gamble
Got the guns out and the candles
Fuck a bander for the damsel
On my beach [slits?] in my sandals
(Bridge 2)
I went to the centre, children [wearing guns?]
This is my first kingdom, fear is not allowed
(Yeah, fear is not allowed)
She said, “Take your jewelry out, my child, it weighs you down”
(It’s weighing you, weighing you down)
Who you think you’re saving stuck here on the ground?
(Nobody, nobody)
Watch how you gon’ fly if you do trust me
My love, it can be your empty gravity
(I can be your empty gravity)
Find your freedom in my perfect harmony
Watch how you gon’ fly when you believe in me
(Hook)
Take me higher, take me higher
Take me high, high, higher
Take me higher, take me higher
Take me high, high, higher
(Outro)
Oh, love, no fear, oh, love, oh, love
Oh, love, no fear, oh, love, oh, love
Oh, love, no fear, oh, love, oh, love
Oh, love, no fear, oh, love, oh, love
