Cover of Broken Bells

From Broken Bells and 21 other releases

Made available as a free download on their official site on Dec. 21, 2009, “The High Road” is the debut single of Broken Bells, a collaboration project between Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) and James Mercer (The Shins).

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.

Send ‘The High Road’ Ringtone to Cell

Go down to wait all night, she's bound to run amok
Invested enough in it anyhow to each his own
The garden is so dim now, she curls her lips on a bar
I don't know if you're dead or not, if you're anyone
