Im a fan of good music. The kind that hits you in the heart, mind and soul! says Hilary Mwelwa, the next British R and B phenomenon destined to win over American R and B and soul devotees. USA Today declares, Mwelwa's vocals are always enticing while Vibe Magazine heralds Mwelwa's rich, velvety voice warms the inside like a spot of tea. The 20-something year-old chanteuse along with her musical partner Victor Redwood-Sawyerr (co-founder of the award-winning hip hop group Blak Twang), make up Hil St. Soul, one of the hottest groups to emerge from London's underground music scene in recent years. Hil St. Soul has toured with such individual artists as Macy Gray, Angie Stone and D'Angelo.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The lyrics of Hil St. Soul's song "Higher Ground" convey a message of resilience, determination, and taking responsibility for one's own growth and progress. The singer acknowledges that they may not have all the answers or know everything, but they are determined to make it work with what they do know and do what they can. They have created a space for themselves and others to thrive and support each other. The mention of being up late with Franks Wild Years suggests that they have been reflecting and seeking inspiration from others who have also navigated challenges and found a way to rise above.
The chorus emphasizes the longing to reach higher ground with someone, indicating a desire for self-improvement and growth together. The years of chasing fears and struggling have led to a turning point, where they are ready to break through and move forward. The song references Matt, possibly an individual who has also faced adversity, and suggests celebrating and finding solace in the moment through enjoying a drink together. The mention of George Carlin, a renowned comedian known for his sharp social commentary, adds a touch of humor and speculation about what he would say in this situation. Ultimately, the lyrics express a belief that they will make it through to the higher ground, overcoming obstacles and finding a way forward.
