Luckily, or in this case sadly, the world does not stand still and other serious topics like drug overdose deserve our attention as well. Indie-rockers [**The Native**](https://www.wearethenative.com/?ref=glamglare.com), at home in Plymouth, West England, took the tragic passing of a local young woman to come up with the concept for “Chasing Highs”. Frontman and guitarist **Charlie Noordewier** explains:

> “You don’t often hear about events like this happening in our home town, especially with someone at such a young age. It really highlighted to us how a lot of the younger generations aren’t properly educated on these issues and how easy it is for someone so young to do something without thinking about the consequences”.

The serious lyrical content is juxtaposed by a high energy rhythm and a lovely melody, lending the track an irresistibly catchy vibe. Listen to “Chasing Highs”, our Song Pick of the Day:

**Lyrics:**

Scaling Mount Olympus  
Looking for relief  
She’s kicking up a fuss  
Whilst reaching for her key  
Her friends one by one  
They slowly fade away  
She stays  
It’s going to her head  
It affects her everyday

Chasing Highs  
She’ll never be satisfied  
Naive and desperate insensibility  
Chasing Highs  
She tries to leave her mind behind  
Wastes her life  
Escapes insanity

One more week  
And then she says she’ll stop  
Nearly at the peak  
But it’s never enough

Chasing Highs  
She’ll never be satisfied  
Naive and desperate insensibility  
Chasing Highs  
She tries to leave her mind behind  
Wastes her life  
Escapes insanity

The problem isn’t with voluntary ingestion the problem lies with national misinvestment  
The problem isn’t with voluntary ingestion the problem lies with national misinvestment

Chasing Highs  
She’ll never be satisfied  
Naive and desperate insensibility  
Chasing Highs  
She tries to leave her mind behind  
Wastes her life  
Escapes insanity
