‘High On High’ is the second single from John Flanagan’s debut album ‘There’s Another Way To Where You’re Going’ and follows the release of ‘Whatever Makes You Happy’ earlier this year.

Recorded in Nashville with producer Viktor Krauss, grammy award winning engineer Neal Cappellino and top musicians who have played on records with Willie Nelson, Robert Plant and Emmylou Harris to name a few, the new track is an homage to his hometown in the Northside of Melbourne, literally on the other side of the world to the home of its recording. 

Written about High Street, the well-known stomping ground that traverses the Melbourne suburbs of Thornbury and Northcote, the track is inspired by John’s experience as a poor but happy musician living in the area, being surrounded by the thriving melting pot of music and culture that co-exist on the strip.

Despite being many miles away from Nashville, High Street has been coined the country music capital of Australia boasting the highest number of country songwriters according to a recent poll by APRA/AMCOS. 

Combining 70s folk singer/songwriter influences with a contemporary Americana sound, John Flanagan is firmly on music lovers and industry watch lists since recording his latest album There’s Another Way to Where You’re Going in Nashville with producer Viktor Krauss. Flanagan says “There’s Another Way to Where You’re Going ties together stories of the outsiders: the lonely, the heartbroken and those who aren’t afraid to step aside from the mainstream. The moments of sadness intertwine with the uplifting to create an overarching message of acceptance and change.”

Lyrics

Take the prize and close your eyes don't question why or when
Will you come for me? Fill my soul again
Here in lies the master of disguise for broken men
Will you come for me? Be the light again

I can hear my mother's call 
Louder than the powers of them all
On the throne that's where she belongs
Higher than the powers of them all

Deep inside her aura lie the makings of the sun
Can't you see my dear, life has just begun
When the left upholds the right and time becomes undone
Just remember dear, it's the womb where we're all from

I can hear my mother's call 
Louder than the powers of them all
On the throne that's where she belongs
Higher than the powers of them all
(Don't go away)

I'm never gonna leave you
All I wanna do is please you
I'm never gonna leave you
All I wanna do is please you

I can hear my mother's call 
Louder than the powers of them all
On the throne that's where she belongs
Higher than the powers of them all
Higher than the powers of them all

Hailing from Melbourne, guitar/drums two-piece This Way North are Leisha Jungalwalla (Jungal) and Cat Leahy (Sal Kimber & the Rollin' Wheel, Miss Quincy, Lisa Miller). 

They first met in the north…Canada in fact; at the renowned British Columbian ArtsWells Festival. While hanging at the festival, they discovered that their permanent homes were both north…north-side Melbourne that is…half a world away but only 500m apart. Once they’d returned to Melbourne, they treated their post-tour blues by doing what all self-respecting musicians do playing music and what came out was good…really good. 

This Way North began as a means of finding a way back… to find direction again, and it damn well worked.
