Altitude
In 3/4 time at a waltz-like 117 BPM, ‘Altitude’ swings wider than you’d expect from a straightforward inspirational rock track, and PCBender earns that ambition. The bridge is where the song clicks hardest: ‘Hands off the wheel now, let the horizon turn / Nothing left to prove, nothing left to earn’ lands with the kind of plain-spoken conviction you get from John Hiatt at his most direct, and the choir-stacked vocal on the chorus title word turns a simple hook into something that actually fills the room. A highlight.
Lyrics
Elevation gives you distance and changes your perspective Of the map you have constructed and the plan inside your head When your instruments are failing and your confidence is broken You must find a different compass to achieve your destination
You were born to fly
Altitude (Altitude) The more you have the less you find Altitude (Altitude) It’s the weight the keeps you stalling Altitude (Altitude) Tired wings are meant to glide Altitude (Altitude) It’s the fall that keeps you going Oooooooon…
Darkness gives you silence and the chance to really listen To the song that once defined you and the lyrics long forgotten Every sunrise is a runway, every breeze an invitation Every moment is an opening to reclaim your inspiration
You were born to fly
Altitude (Altitude) The more you have the less you find Altitude (Altitude) It’s the weight the keeps you stalling Altitude (Altitude) Tired wings are meant to glide Altitude (Altitude) It’s the fall that keeps you going Oooooooon…
Hands off the wheel now, let the horizon turn Nothing left to prove, nothing left to earn If the ground is calling, I won’t fight the sound I don’t need to land to be unbound
Altitude (Altitude) The more you have the less you find Altitude (Altitude) It’s the weight the keeps you stalling Altitude (Altitude) Tired wings are meant to glide Altitude (Altitude) It’s the fall that keeps you going Oooooooon…
