“Chasing Highs” sits in the grey area between soul, hip-hop, and jazz, moody, stripped-back, and deliberately uncomfortable.

Built around a late night atmosphere, the track leans into contrast: smooth, jazz-influenced instrumentation against a subject that’s anything but polished. It explores addiction not as a headline issue, but as a lived cycle, repetition, dependency, and the quiet damage it leaves behind.

The dual perspective drives the record. The female chorus carries distance and emotional fatigue, while the verses drop into the internal chaos, impulsive, paranoid, and self-aware, but stuck in the loop. It’s not glamorised, and it’s not resolved.

At its core, this is about co-dependency as much as addiction, the push and pull between needing someone and being unable to save them. Financial strain, emotional burnout, and blurred responsibility all sit under the surface.

There’s no clean ending here. No redemption arc packaged up for comfort. Just the reality of chasing something that keeps taking more than it gives.

 
Chasing Highs
     (Harvey)

[Chorus]
You only want what you can have
You gonna take anything to stop you feeling bad
You can high when I'm asleep
So many secrets you can keep
You're climbing walls when the feeling's over
You ask for money all the time, know what's coming over
I'm at work and you're asleep
I couldn't get you what you need

[Verse 1]
You're looking for the piece of crack you dropped on the floor
You know the session's over now but you're clucking for more
Your dealer's not picking up, he wouldn't tick you a score
The best friend you robbed threw a brick through your door
Sell your games and DVDs down the pawn shop down the street
Strip your house of everything to feed the monster within
Got a twenty of rock, smoked it all by two o'clock
Put your shoes on and your socks, robbing bacon from the shop
People look at you in shock, attitude and in a strop
grass you up to the cops, jump the fence, rip your top
In a loop that never stops, but in this moment I think not
Maybe next week to the dots, like my downers, like my up

[Chorus]
You only want what you can't have
You gonna take anything to stop you feeling bad
You can high when I'm asleep
So many secrets you can keep
You're climbing walls when the feeling's over
You ask for money all the time, no ones coming over
I'm at work and you're asleep
I couldn't get you what you need

[Verse 2]
I said I smoked the last time but I go and get more
I got my mate getting eight, he's never smoked it before
Dealer's taking long, he said he'd get here by four
I'm starting to feel anxious, listen out for the door
Is my mate acting shady? Is it me being flaky?
Every day I'm feeling shaky, spend my time getting wasted
Want a future, make a plan, try around here if you can
He says it like it's simple, would you care to expand?
You don't need to say that my life is wasted
I hear it all the time, I'm constantly all the time reminded
Don't you think I try to fight it? Many people hide it
Feeling trapped in this life, getting out I feel divided

[Chorus]
You Only want what you cant have 
Your gonna take anything to stop you feeling bad
You're getting high when I'm asleep
So many secrets you can keep
You're climbing walls when the feeling's over
You ask for money all the time, no ones  coming over
I'm at work and you're asleep
I couldn't get you what you need

[middle eight]

[outro-Chorus]
you only want what you can't have 
You gonna take anything to stop you feeling bad
You getting high when I'm asleep
So many secrets you can keep
You're climbing walls when the feeling's over
You ask for money all the time,  no ones coming over
I'm awake and you're asleep
I couldn't get you what you need

[outro]

Chasing Highs

Vintage inspired music with a modern soul.

Inspired by a time when everything looked better on the surface but underneath, people were just as lost, chasing identity and meaning.

That contrast runs through everything I make.

I’ve built a deep catalogue of unreleased music, and I’m rolling it out steadily.
