about
By releasing their new single 'Higher Ground', Reach is defining the start of a new musical era and let their listeners into the alluring, ghostlike and gritty world they create around their upcoming new album.
Reach leads their listeners into a new era of explosive intimacy with songs wrapped in a veil of mystery and playfulness telling stories about love, death and emotion in severe conflict with each other. Resignation, fear and desperation are grounded against hopefulness and greed until the friction sparks and the world the band have created around them and their listeners is glowing.
Speaking of writing 'Higher Ground', the band's singer Ludvig Turner explains: ”Most of the lyrics have a sinister tone to them. There is something very satisfying in writing about someone going insane and then add a soothing soundtrack to it. With Higher Ground I really liked that soundtrack. We always want to do something different when we’re recording our songs. "

LYRICS
Soul searches heart
Restless in dark
See them as they weep
There’s nothing worth here anymore
Leave behind
Or loose your mind
Turn towards the greater
Or trouble’s in your hands
The world is yours
Behind the door you’ll find
You’ll find your universe
And Now you’ve reached a higher ground
Leavin’ at the speed of sound
You’re no longer running blind
All is left behind
And how you wished upon a star
For anyone to take you far
To find the peace within your heart
Far away from the dark
Minds astray
Used to betrayal
Demons will show no mercy
As you try to run away
The world is yours
Behind the door you’ll find
You’ll find your universe
And Now you’ve reached a higher ground
Leavin’ at the speed of sound
You’re no longer running blind
All is left behind
And how you wished upon a star
For anyone to take you far
To find the peace within your heart
Far away from the dark
Watch the world
Watch it burn
And Now you’ve reached a higher ground
Leavin’ at the speed of sound
You’re no longer running blind
All is left behind
And how you wished upon a star
For anyone to take you far
To find the peace within your heart
Far away from the dark
