1) Mike Truman and Chris Healings have been writing, producing, touring and DJing all over the globe for the best part of a decade, amassing near 250 productions. The duo has written four LPs to date: Wide Angle, 1999; Morning Sci-Fi, 2003; I Choose Noise, 2006; and Disappear Here, 2010 – all on Distinctive.
Since first bursting onto the scene with the now classic album, Wide Angle, in 1999, the Swansea, Wales-based Hybrid have been known as one of the most forward thinking and technically skilled acts in electronic dance music. Blurring the line between in-studio production and live presentation, Hybrid are one of the few remaining dance acts to perform live with a classic band setup.
Though, much has changed on the road to Hybrid's fourth artist album Disappear Here. Most notable is the addition of Hybrid's third member – singer / songwriter Charlotte James – to go along with founders Chris Healings and Mike Truman.
With Disappear Here, Hybrid have managed to create an epic and unique sound which has progressed dramatically from its original dance inception but still retains much of what makes electronic music so exciting. The album features guest vocals from Tim Hutton, drums from Alex Madge and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

High Life
Hybrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like the view from here
And i won't come down
Not 'til you come near
I've been wasting
Away up here
I'll be waiting
'Til my thoughts come clear
Perched up here
In my lookout tower
Froze with fear
At the midnight hour
I think I stay
Where life is safe and sound
It's the end of me
If I come down
'Least we're livin' the high life together
We'll be lovin' the high life forever
'Least we're livin' the high life together
We'll be lovin' the high life forever
Seems to me
It's just a way of life
Altered states
They make it seem alright
'Cause who's to say
Whether it's wrong or right?
It fills the need
To get me through the night
'Least we're livin' the high life together
We'll be lovin' the high life forever
'Least we're livin' the high life together
We'll be lovin' the high life forever
'Least we're livin' the high life together
We'll be lovin' the high life forever
'Least we're livin' the high life together
We'll be lovin' the high life forever
Forever
Can't come down
I like the view from here
And i won't come down
Not 'til you come near
I've been wasting
Away up here
I'll be waiting
'Til my thoughts come clear
Can't come down
I like the view from here
And i won't come down
Not 'til you come near
I've been wasting
Away up here
I'll be waiting
'Til my thoughts come clear
'Least we're livin' the high life together
We'll be lovin' the high life forever
'Least we're livin' the high life together
We'll be lovin' the high life forever
'Least we're livin' the high life together
We'll be lovin' the high life forever
'Least we're livin' the high life together
We'll be lovin' the high life forever
Forever
The lyrics of Hybrid's song High Life refer to staying high on drugs or alcohol and the fear of coming down. The elevated view from being high is described as enjoyable and safe, but the fear of what will happen when the high wears off forces the singer to wait until their thoughts are clear. The lyrics also explore the idea of altered states and whether they are right or wrong. They seem to suggest that being high fills a need, possibly for escape or relaxation.
The chorus, "Least we're livin' the high life together, we'll be lovin' the high life forever," seems to imply that the singer doesn't want to come down alone, and that the highs they experience with others is what they cherish. The repetition of this line throughout the song creates a sense of comfort and belonging that only exists in the high life.
Overall, the lyrics of High Life are a cautionary tale about the dangers of addiction and the internal struggle between finding comfort in being high and the fear of what happens when the high wears off.

Until I am certain of what I want, I will stay in this state of being
Perched up here
I am positioned in a high and safe location
In my lookout tower

At the midnight hour
At a particularly difficult and scary time
I think I stay

Seems to me
In my opinion
It's just a way of life
This state of being is a normal lifestyle choice
Altered states
The state of being I am in is different from a normal, sober state
They make it seem alright
The altered state makes this lifestyle choice appear acceptable
'Cause who's to say
There is no definitive authority on what is right or wrong
Whether it's wrong or right?
No one can say for sure if this lifestyle choice is good or bad
It fills the need
This state of being fulfills a particular desire or want
To get me through the night
To help me get through a difficult time
Forever
This state of being will continue

Everythings is so pleasing visually and auditory. The sound is rich, multilayered, and dynamic. The photo equally. The red and blue lights, the outfit, the poses, the distance the photograph was taken. Beautiful.
