A calculated turnaround by Belk in early 2006 - from being a "Sublime" cover band to only performing original material - coupled with a name change gave birth to a family of friends dubbed “The High & Mighties”. After cleaning up their act the new group is fresh out of the studio with the Evolution EP. While pushing their original chilled-out good time message of summertime romance they have won attention and approval throughout the inner workings of the music industry. Their recent signing to the well supported EchoMix Records promises big year of touring, recording and various appearances on the airwaves and in the press.
Singer/Guitarist Mark Belk’s songs inspired by the groups troubled past and boughts of failed “true love” sit well with his fan-base who appreciate The High & Mighties' slickly-produced earworms. Belk has been a reliable face as bartender at the premiere hot spot Top Of The Hill in Chapel Hill, NC. As he traveled the world studying guitar and writing, Belk was blessed by discovering he possessed an inner talent for the envied ability to convey easily relatable story lines penned for the masses. He often brings to life through his reggae-laced rock tunes the “late-nights” in Collegetown, USA.
As the future looks bright with instant college radio hits like “Candy Jar” and “Turn The Lights Down Low” The High & Mighties are entering a new era of luck and success. The High And Mighties will hit the road to give something back their newly won fans and plan a full-length follow-up to their Evolution EP in early 2009. http://www.myspace.com/thehighandmighties
Waiting for You
The High and Mighties Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Disturbing feelings. Confused thoughts.
Your body was broken and your soul was lost.
Like you have lost the earth beneath your feet.
And now you're screamin' like you never did.
Now poisoned blood is running through your veins.
You're locked inside your mind.
This chain is holding you tight.
The only question I have for you is
What are you waiting?
What are you waiting for?
I don't know!
What are you waiting?
What are you waiting for?
I don't know!
The endless doubts began to change your guts.
Constant inaction leads you into a trap.
I've tried to help you escape from this prison cell.
But now I see that I'm talking to myself.
What are you waiting?
What are you waiting for?
I don't know!
What are you waiting?
What are you waiting for?
I don't know!
What are you waiting?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting?
What are you waiting for?
Disturbing feelings. Confused thoughts.
My body was broken and My soul was lost.
Like I have lost the earth beneath my feet.
And now I'm screamin' like I never did.
What are you waiting?
What are you waiting for?
What are you waiting?
What are you waiting for?
The High and Mighty's "Waiting for You" is a hip-hop love song about a confident and independent woman who is searching for a man that matches her strength and ambition. The lyrics illustrate the singer's self-assurance and resilience, as she expresses her individuality and preferences that defy stereotypes. She asserts that she is not interested in material possessions or fame, but instead values the simple things in life- watching sports, going for walks, and singing. This also implies that she is not in search of a man for financial support but rather for companionship.
The chorus "Everywhere I go I'm spotted, and everything I want I got it, 5'5 with brown eyes, smile like the sunrise" is a declaration of the singer's confidence and her belief that she attracts attention wherever she goes, thanks to her stunning looks and infectious personality. The verse in Spanish adds a level of sensuality, as the man serenades her with compliments and suggests they spend a night together.
Overall, "Waiting for You" is a song that celebrates individuality, self-love, and the search for a partner that complements one's personality and values.
