Without getting too heavy, my wife lost a baby on New Year's Eve in 1996, the year that the album Ocean Drive was a hit. It was the first week in 1997 I started writing High, and I had the bit: 'One day we're gonna get so high'. That was the same week – and this is absolutely incidental, it’s nothing to do with the song - although a N ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

High (musical Group)
High was an Indian rock group from Kolkata, established in 1974. High marks the efflorescence of American pop and rock music in the city and was contemporaneous with rock bands from other metropolitan cities like Calcutta, Bombay, Goa, Darjeeling and Chennai. Some of the notable ones were The Combustibles and The Savages in Bombay, the Fentones in Shillong and the Mustangs in Madras. High performed in the 1970s and 1980s, disbanding in 1990.

High (atmospheric)
A high-pressure area, high, or anticyclone, is an area near the surface of a planet where the atmospheric pressure is greater than the pressure in the surrounding regions. Highs are middle-scale meteorological features that result from interplays between the relatively larger-scale dynamics of an entire planet's atmospheric circulation. The strongest high-pressure areas result from masses of cold air which spread out from polar regions into cool neighboring regions. These highs weaken once they extend out over warmer bodies of water. Weaker—but more frequently occurring—are high-pressure areas caused by atmospheric subsidence: Air becomes cool enough to precipitate out its water vapor, and large masses of cooler, drier air descend from above. Within high-pressure areas, winds flow from where the pressure is highest, at the center of the area, towards the periphery where the pressure is lower. However, the direction is not straight from the center outwards, but curved du ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sukit said, "About the end of 2012 we forced ourselves to go in record a new record and tracked everything.

Then we had that break and listened to it and were, 'Oh it's not that bad'. So Shogun finished his vocals and then we mixed it."

High (Feeder Song)
"High" is a song by Feeder, released as the fourth and final single from their 1997 debut album, '' Polythene''.

High (Keith Urban Album)
''High'' is the twelfth studio album by New Zealand-born Australian country music singer Keith Urban. The album was released on 20 September 2024 via Hit Red and Capitol Records Nashville. Background ''High'' marks Urban's first studio album since '' The Speed of Now Part 1'' (2020). He began working on an album in 2022, tentatively titled ''615'', but ultimately scrapped the project. Several of the songs from that project eventually made their way onto ''High'', a 12-track set that he titled after the feeling of "euphoria" he felt during the creative process. On the title, Urban said: "What makes you 'high' can mean whatever you want it to mean. It might be physical, spiritual, herbal, meditative, chemical, or musical, but it’s definitely a place of utopia." Urban wrote the album's opening interlude and co-wrote six of its tracks, and it features a collaboration with Lainey Wilson (" Go Home W U"). "Straight Line" was released as the album's lead single in February 2024. It w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
