The EP draws on issues bigger than anything the band has ever sung about expressed bassist, Chris Kwak. "We wanted to write songs for this album that would move our audience towards a cause so much bigger than ourselves." The band's first single 'We Are The Ones' is a message of that same urgency and responsibility that is brought to its listeners.

'We Are The Ones' inspires listeners to wake up from apathy and become a generation of revolutionaries. The song is colored with cutting lead guitar lines (hinting a U2 and Coldplay influence) and a powerful, melodic chorus to create a repeating anthem throughout the song.

Strong melodies and catchy choruses have brought New Heights a lot of attention from various industry representatives even before the release of their new EP. It was not far from their minds while they were recording “Worlds” this year. "We wanted to show growth melodically and lyrically on this CD compared to our first one, so we spent a lot of time working and crafting the melodies and allowed them to really mature" said frontman, Travis Graham.

'Worlds' is a strong representation of the direction the band is heading towards musically. Since the summer of 05', the band has put out one demo CD along with one self-titled EP.

New Heights’ first self-titled EP, was released back in January of 2007 and was released digitally worldwide through iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Rhapsody, etc. Despite the changes that have brought New Heights from an Acoustic-Rock band with six members to now an Alternative-Rock quartet, their message of truth remains close to their heart. Their sound has been compared to bands such as Lifehouse, One Republic, and Switchfoot.

New Heights Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I ignite like all the stars are in between us
And even though I've run into you
In my life I've yet to see

Further than I've ever gone I'm feeling something real
And there's no one else who takes your place
The pull of something real

So I'll fly over endless skies
Fly until the end of time
Because I don't want you to be let down at all you see
I just wanna have you whisper into me

You and I ignite like all the stars are in between us
And even though I've run into you
In my life I've yet to see

Further than I've ever gone I'm feeling something real
And there's no one else who takes your place
The pull of something real

So I'll fly over endless skies
Fly until the end of time
Because I don't want you to be let down at all you see
I just wanna have you whisper

Into me
Into me
Into me

I'm finding my way, finding my way
Finding my way back to you
I'm finding my way, finding my way
Finding my way back to you

Because I don't want you to be let down at all you see
I just wanna have you whisper

I'm finding my way, finding my way
Finding my way back to you
I'm finding my way, finding my way
Finding my way back to you

I'm finding my way, finding my way
Finding my way back to you

I'm finding my way, finding my way
Finding my way back to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to New Heights's song Whisper appear to be about two people whose attraction to each other is so intense that it's like all the stars are between them, but there is a sense of uncertainty and hesitation about taking things further. The singer admits that they have yet to see anything beyond their encounters and has never felt anything like this before. They want to soar with this feeling and not let the other person down, but they also seem to be searching for something, as they sing about finding their way back to the other person. It's a song about desire, connection, and the unknown, all wrapped up in a soaring, pop-rock sound.

Throughout the song, the imagery of stars and flying is used to convey the intensity of the emotions between the two people. The idea of flying over endless skies and flying until the end of time represents the idea of wanting to explore this connection fully, but not wanting to disappoint the other person. The singer's desire to have the other person whisper into them is also a physical representation of the intimacy they crave but are hesitant to pursue fully. The repetition of the line "finding my way back to you" suggests that the singer has been apart from the other person before and is now trying to reconnect.

Overall, Whisper is a song about the tension between two people who are drawn to each other but are wary of exploring their connection further. It's a feeling many can relate to, and the song's soaring sound and vivid imagery make it a powerful evocation of that tension.
