"Imagine The Cure" is a track 4 years in the making for Hail Your Highness and an end to an era. Recorded during the pandemic at HYH's home studio SHEFREAK Studio alongside longtime engineer and dear friend Brian "Bone" Thorburn at Threshold Studio Productions. This is HYH's first track in 3 years following SOFTBOY featuring a pop-driven melody in Drop B tuning. A song about never giving up, holding on to yourself and being your own cure. This was ironically named before the pandemic and took on a completely new meaning after the fact. 

Lyrics:
I owe a lot to myself
and nobody else.
What am I supposed to do when I know where I should be
but I'm not there?
I'm keeping it all for myself
and nobody else.
I found a stronger will to let go
than to hold on.

I gotta be there
I gotta be there somehow
I'm gonna be there
I'm gonna be there somehow

Can you imagine?
Can you imagine?
If I give it up now I can't get to you

You cure my pain
so I'm not afraid to suffer.
These feelings have always been
the same color for you.
August with a blue sky and an orange glow
favoring the white lines.
Baby it's all I feel for you.
It's all I know to do.

I'll never regret giving you my love.
Safe with me 
You can trust my thoughts
Don't cry, you have to keep going
Because when I look at you
I see time

I sleep in red so you can't kill me
I sleep in black so you can see me
I can't get enough but I can't take anymore

Give in or give up oh
Give in or give up oh
Give in or give up oh
Cuz I've been waiting

I see the devil in my eyes
He's coming up
I see the devil coming from my eyes
Past the point of vision
My peripherals are in discord 
I feel the devil in my mind
He's coming out
I feel the devil pacing in my mind
It's time I shake him loose from where he stands

Give in or give up oh
You want it right now
Give in or give up oh
You want it right now
Give in or give up oh 
You want it right now
Well I've been waiting, I've been waiting

Pacing back and forth, pacing back and forth
Until my feet dig a rut in the floor
I've learned to run on my own keeping my pace
Ahead of your mind, ahead of you
Pacing back and forth pacing back and forth
I'm gonna burn myself down I don't care how bad it hurts
Sinking through the floor, sinking through the floor
Violent attempts come to violent ends 

Give in or give up oh
You want it right now
Give in or give up oh
You want it right now
Give in or give up oh 
You want it right now
Well I've been waiting, I've been waiting

I'll lay myself to rest
You don't believe in me in the first place
So put the blame on yourself
The next time I see you
You will not see me coming
I won't stop when I'm tired
I'll stop when I'm done

I can't seem to escape from what crawls above me
And puts me to work while it takes from my mind
I can't put my hand to my face and not pull it away
Without seeing nothing but guilt on my palms
Leaving a map to my sins on my face
Giving my whole past away

What a hoax, I'm no fool
But in the front of my mind I could see myself slipping
Weren't you aware you were my last brace standing
What a hoax, it played out true
I string myself along so terribly and you tire me out
Day after day I'm barely even there
I'm hardly worth a thing

It's not about who you are
It's who you know that gets you further

My life is right now, my world is turning
I'm fighting the pull, but I keep loosing, I keep loosing
We search and we search, but what are we finding 
We search and we search, but what are we finding
I've seen the Devil but I know what God looks like
Those eyes are tearing up in me
We're coming out, we're coming out when we're good and ready
We're coming out, we'll turn the tables of this city

What a hoax, I'm no fool
But in the front of my mind I could see myself slipping
Weren't you aware you were my last brace standing
What a hoax, it played out true
I string myself along so terribly and you tire me out
Day after day I'm barely even there
I'm hardly worth a thing

I pray to God that there's something in my heart 
that gets me there

If you leave me now I'll control the fall
Forcing my shoulders back
I'm down here watching
I will not be chained, be made a working slave
This is my chapter of victory

I pray to God that there's something in my heart
that gets me there
(It's not about who you are it's who you know that gets you further)
It gets you further

These faces are hard to forget 
But what about mine, is it true about mine
I'm faced with, what if nothing had changed
We'd be stepping through shadows, blinded lost in our daze
But I live through terror on my own two feet day in and out
These people, there's hope inside
But it's buried deep, blinded by human eyes
You can't steal what's already been given to you
And this is mine, this is mine, this is mine

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Let them know that they didn't break you
Let them know they didn't break you

We go through life afraid of death
It holds us back and steals our breath
I didn't always used to be like this
It never used to feel like this
I've been wandering the cold nights
Hope in my left hand and my right
But doubt in my mind, it never leaves me enough time
I'll space myself out
So you don't forget about me because this fire doesn't sleep
Can you still work in the hearts of those who don't believe in you
There's embers in need of air
This fire never sleeps
This fire never sleeps

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
Let them know that they didn't break you
Let them know they didn't break you

I stole the sky in search of peace of mind
(Hold your head up heavy heart)
I stole the sky in search of peace of mind
Hold your head up heavy heart

Once & Future

Recorded at Round Table Recording Company in Indianapolis IN in June of 2023 in one 5 hour session.

"The experience of Dandelion is a journey of multifaceted emotions and visualizations. The song provides the listener with the feeling of a cradling fluidity: being held between the airiness of the music and emotional darkness of the lyrics. Imagine yourself staring up at the clouds, floating in water, adrift, sun set and light fading. A complimentary yin and yang of melancholy and golden light, the listener is empathetically ready to undertake what lies ahead." - Jackson Patino / The Jam Flies

Dandelion

I'm awake and my eyes are pulsing 
This headrush won't let me get my feet to the ground 
Slow your breath and find your pace 
I never payed attention to the days so when it all caught up there's no time to prepare 
You don't know what you don't know 
You can't just watch, oh you must see 
Slow your breath and find your pace 
I've got my eyes locked in your line 

(chorus) I set fire in my wake 
I set fire to your faith 
Watch it burn, watch it turn it's own back on you 
Watch me burn, watch me burn down everything you thought you knew 

No you don't want to go that way so you tore out my spine and you told me to stand 
But I'll regrow these bones time and time again 
You can't touch me when I'm in this place 
Strong hands, young heart, I will fight with might and main 
This is what we came here for 
The eyes feed the mind, but what I see tremors my heart 

Time passes and there's the end of the line 
Take me away now, but now could be a long time 
One more breath to finish all of this 
This could be my first and last chance to see your face 

There's a window to every closed door 
And I'm searching the house for more

Align

Noir

Fear keeps us repetitive 
Fear keeps up comfortable company 
Pull me from the stone, fight alongside me 
Take me up, cast me away 

Bite the bullet, bite the bit 
Keep your eyes ahead of it 
I've got you like a bad habit 

(chorus) Get me in the light 
We've not been unified 
So give my love to the sunrise 
I want to mean something to you 

We love throwing wrenches in the gears just to see if it still works 
We love twisting each other's arms just to see if it still hurts 
Race you to the bottom, we'll see who's worse 
Get some rest because tomorrow it starts all over again 

Bite the bullet, bite the bit 
Keep your eyes ahead of it 
I've got you like a bad habit 

How could you expect me not to move? 
I want to mean something 
How could you expect me not to move? 
I've got to mean something to you

In the back of my mind
You always come first
Laying by my side
Is where you are heard

I've got it all here
Waiting in a daydream for you to answer

Without you things just aren't beautiful

lyrics
Sometimes there's no leaving

Pushing our bodies to the limit
We dare to fight
And wonder why our hearts pulse at the sound
of currents inside
I'm not too far off to notice
How parallel we really are
You're my dream baby I know this
So just stay right where you are

You say that I should love myself
But I love you more
You say that I should love myself
But how can I without you

Take me closer
I wish my love could reach you
Take me closer
To where you are

I'm always speaking with the future
But I'm blinded by a hopeful ending
I want to be the one that no one else can be
So I'm leaving to be where you are
I saw stars in broad daylight (your daylight)
I'm sending you the sun while you give me the moon
We miss everything while we sleep (while we sleep)
I've got to have you
So just stay right where you are

SOFT

SOFTBOY is the final single in the Duality / Parallel trilogy. SOFTBOY solidifies HYH's presence as a dream rock due, dipping into the pop realm and continuing to push the limits sonically of a 2 piece band.

Orbit PT. 2

SOFTBOY

Orbit PT. 1

2 sisters making indie music for people who like to dance, but also love riffs.

“On paper alone, Hail Your Highness sound poetic: two sisters from Michigan, who play dreamy emotional music that swirls together aspects of genres ranging from hard rock to shoegaze to trap. But it’s their music, with its unorthodox song structures, dreamy dual vocals, and lava-flow undercurrent of distortion and aggression, that completes the picture. As a whole, Hail Your Highness is bigger than its individual parts, a project with no easy genre designation or niche market that sounds like music you heard in a false memory." - KERRANG!
