about

Ooberfuse are an electro-influenced alt-pop songwriting duo based in London and composed of instrumentalist Hal St John and vocalist Cherrie Anderson. From showcasing at The Great Escape to opening for Rudimental in Beijing, Ooberfuse have developed a rare international touring niche, performing in countries from India to Iraq, to festivals in Beijing to Brazil.

Their music has featured on a who's-who of prestigious press and media outlets including Music Week, BBC Radio 1, BBC London, Rolling Stone India, Guardian Music and DJ Mag. Legendary trailblazers such as Boy George, Paul Oakenfold and Sister Bliss (Faithless/Ministry of Sound) have sung their praises.

"Fly High" is an anthem for the defiant, the resilient and the ageless soul of the heart that survives all brutal assaults. When what you treasure has been trashed, when the vision you behold has been defaced, when your purest dream had been poisoned, it's all too easy to bury all that matters beneath disillusionment and disaffectedness. This song resists that all-too-easy tendency. Tears can only sting...they can never wash away the straining aspirations emanating from that uncrushable spark evident in even the darkest night.

The track is energised by a frenetic pulse at an impossible 190bpm. A dancing bass sequence is lit up by Cherrie's nonchalant vocal whose understatement serves to push the message even further than at first was possible. With South Korean boyband guitarist the track builds to a sonic firework extravaganza in its dying phases.

Ooberfuse worked together with Adrian Hall (Producer of The Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Roby, Depeche Mode, Goldfrapp) on the inspiring earworm.

lyrics

Nobody told me to
Get up and go or sit
This is my dream
And everybody knows it
Don't do the things I do
To try to please you
I do the things I do
Because I need to


I won't let you see me cry
Won't let you hear me sigh
This dream won't ever die
Inside of me

I, I will fly
I will soar
Til I touch the sky

I, I will fly
I will soar
Til I touch the sky


I can't unsing this song
I'm now singing
It came to me one night
When I was sleeping
Lights a path for me
No more straying
I'm on the right track
Know what I'm saying


I won't let you see me cry
Won't let you hear me sigh
This dream won't ever die
Inside of me


I, I will fly
I will soar
Til I touch the sky

I, I will fly
I will soar
Til I touch the sky


And they can make you scream
And try to kill your dream
They can make you shout
But please don't ever let it out
That you were made with wings
And tears can only sting
You were made to fly
To where the dream will never die
And if it feels too much
Look deep inside your heart
A light is shining bright
And it will chase away the dark
Just spread your wings out wide
And when the east wind blows

I won't let you see me cry
Won't let you hear me sigh
This dream won't ever die
Inside of me


I, I will fly
I will soar
Til I touch the sky

I, I will fly
I will soar
Til I touch the sky


Go fly up high above the pain that only you know
Fly high
Go fly up high above the pain that only you know
Fly high
Go fly up high above the pain that only you know
I will soar
Go fly up high above the pain that only you know

I, I will fly
I will soar
Til I touch the sky
