bkrush People may say this is High Spirits' most "mature" record, and it may be, but it does contain quite possibly their best song yet -- "Midnight Sun." Favorite track: Midnight Sun.

pinkytheent I fell in love with Professor Black's work through Dawnbringer, but High Spirits is an awesome find. Like with stoner/doom, when you do trad metal, you have to be guided by the spirit of the music without seeking to copy/paste it. High Spirits nails that mark. Black's razor-sharp lines that glitter in Dawnbringer also shine here. Favorite track: Restless.

x0riente Bought this bcs of the cover and a random review. It's radio-friendly, positive rock music with fluffed-out edges and quite a lot of cheese. Sometimes said cheese turns into wholesome cringe (who the fck greenlit "All Night Long"?!), but I'm glad to say there's enough to enjoy here in the long run.

If you're looking for some lightweight spring music, go for it - if you're out for a wholesome experience tho, you may as well give this a pass.

Feels like rain tonight In the fading light Don’t know what I’ve done to make you go Out here in the cold And getting old Waiting for the sun of your unforgotten glow Though I feel so far away All I wanted to say is Since you’ve been gone I just keep holding on Keeping your fire burning inside And by your eternal light I take to the night Straight on til morning Straight on til morning Hear my voice tonight Did I say that right? How can I survive the night so long All I have to do Is think of you Rise up on the tune of some undiscovered song Still I feel so far away All I wanted to say is Since you’ve been gone I just keep holding on Keeping your fire burning inside And by your eternal light I take to the night Straight on til morning Straight on til morning Let’s go! Since you’ve been gone I just keep holding on Keeping your fire burning inside And by your eternal light I take to the night Straight on til morning Straight on til morning Take me tonight Take me tonight Straight on til morning

Restless 03:53
I was born a running man Like I’m moving faster than I can Yes I am Getting up and getting down I always find my way around In this town If you wanna be a runaway Better try to keep up ‘Cause I’m restless Oh lord I’m restless I’m restless My life to live like this Can’t waste my liberty I always keep my spirits free Yes indeed On the road or in the wild Keep it coming, mile after mile That’s my style (hahaha…) So you wanna be a runaway Then try to keep up ‘Cause I’m restless Oh lord I’m restless Tonight I’m so restless Hey! My life to live like this Don’t need to know All the madness going on Wanna touch the world Before it’s gone Do you wanna be a runaway Better try to keep up ‘Cause I’m restless Oh lord I’m restless Feeling so restless, I am My life to life like this Restless Restless So restless It’s a real thing! My life to live like this

Face to Face 03:10
Far from home Down in some lonely street And I know Somebody’s watching me Moving slow Tired eyes in the cool night air Well hello I did not see you standing there Face to face in the rising sun Where were you when the night was young And here comes tomorrow So I’m moving on Did I Reach out and show my hand As if I Had the keys to the promised land Nights go by I can still feel you close to me Realize That’s where you’re supposed to be Face to face in the rising sun Where were you when the night was young And here comes tomorrow So I’m moving on And I’ll be thinking of you After I’m gone Now I Gonna find my way back to you Because I I am a dreamer just like you Face to face in the rising sun Where were you when the night was young The story’s not over But here comes the dawn So I’ll be thinking of you After I’m gone

We have not been saved Escaped from our graves Braced for the storm to wash us away And whether it’s fair We have not been spared The horrors of hell, death and despair We don’t know how we’ll survive We don’t know where the future lies Hearts will burn Fires of no return Stronger than evil Rise up again Tomorrow is here The damage is clear First rays of dawn start to appear Our city destroyed A heavenly voice Says you better run, you have no choice We must leave this sorry place The only hope for a lonely race Hearts will burn Fires of no return Stronger than evil Rise up again Hearts will break Heal and complicate Fly like an eagle Ride like the wind Hope you can fly Or stay here and die ‘Cause we don’t know if we’ll survive We don’t know where the future lies Hearts will burn Fires of no return Stronger than evil Rise up again Hearts will break Heal and complicate So fly like an eagle Ride like the wind

It was not so long ago As the sun was setting low I could feel it was real after all So we dreamed the night away You were gone before the day It was the end and then never again On a distant summer night As the moon comes into sight And it seems I could dream it again It never ends No matter what I do My heart still calls to you And I know that there’s no other way To say what I say Are you out there? I don’t know anymore Can you hear me crying please Oh please Talk to me Talk to me Let me hear you again Like a voice in the wind Oh, talk to me Won’t you talk to me Let me hear you again Like a voice in the wind It was not so long ago As the sun was setting low I could feel it was real after all Oh, talk to me Talk to me Let me hear you again Like a voice in the wind Hey, talk to me Won’t you talk to me Like a voice in the wind Like a voice in the wind Goodbye, goodbye

On the night that you came to haunt me Right there on the ocean shore As you came down With no sound My eyes looked up to yours When we touched I could feel you want me Our lives were about to change If I’m the one Then you’re the one The outcome preordained So we knew what was next to happen It was clear as the midnight sky Shining and new Tempting and true Like the moonlight in your eyes And the stars then overheard We said the magic words Let’s do it all night long Wanna do it all night long with you Let’s do it all night long Wanna do it all night long with you If the stars are never wrong We sing our magic song Let’s do it all night long Wanna do it all night long with you Let’s do it all night long Wanna do it all night long with you

Midnight Sun 04:31
Another year gone in a day Did you dream your life away And could you see the hourglass Did you know time was moving fast On and on The midnight sun is burning for you This stage is yours tonight To sing the world its lullaby On and on The midnight sun is turning toward you You take the light tonight Let your spirit shine When you were young in paradise You didn’t care about the price When it was hard, you gave it all You let it ride on that silver ball On and on The midnight sun is burning for you This stage is yours tonight To sing the world its lullaby On and on The midnight sun is turning toward you You take the light tonight Let your spirit shine You sing your song every night Always there, just out of sight And it goes like this On and on The midnight sun is burning for you This stage is yours tonight To sing the world its lullaby On and on The midnight sun is turning toward you You take the light tonight Let your spirit shine Just like that! On and on The midnight sun Midnight sun Shining on and on

My spirit, you hear it Calling out to you And you know what to do On this night, it’s alright Now you start to feel Like a secret unrevealed We are everywhere We are the ones You have always known We will take you there The trip has begun So very long ago Step forward Be sure you’re one of us tonight You made the choice Got the right Tomorrow There are no masters in your life The universe is ours tonight We are everywhere And we are the ones You have always known We will take you there The trip has begun So very long ago My spirit You hear it Calling out to you And you know what to do Good forces This course is steady as we go Ready for those highs and lows It’s hard to stop So let it go Go! Go! Go! Go! Yeah! I got something on my mind Maybe you can help me Can you tell me this Will it ever end Will it ever end Will it ever end Will it ever end Make it last forever Make it last all night
