About This Track

According to the The High Road Songfacts, the song juxtaposes an uplifting melodic chorus with a depressing lyric about not knowing if the dead can talk, or even not knowing if you’re alive.
“The High Road” was featured during the end credits of Episode 7 of the first season of the HBO series “How to Make It In America”, originally aired on March 28, 2010.
