About This Track

‘High Note’ by Sigrid is a 2022 pop track from the album ‘How To Let Go’. The lyrics cast Time as a cruel presence, switching between escape and pursuit as the narrator insists on wanting to go out on a high note, climbing and running until the moment lands. There is an insistent, determined energy to the vocal stance, even when the words frame being trapped as a kind of constant attention. The title idea turns a personal deadline into an ambition, a last push rendered as movement.

"High Note" is a track by Sigrid, from the album How To Let Go, released 5th May 2022. The track is 2:53 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Sigrid.

Lyrics

High Note

Time, you're being cruel, all you ever do
Is tryna find your ways of escaping me
I wish you wouldn't count
But I hear you out
'Cause even on the days that you're chasing me

You're only here, making sure I know

When I go
I wanna go out on a high note
I wanna climb, I wanna run
'Til the day my body won't
Wanna see all I can see
'Til the moment my eyes close

Yeah, when I go
I wanna go out on a high note
I'm too young to worry now
I got so much more to do
But when I run out of time
I wanna know I've seen it through, for when I go

Time, it's you and I 'til the very end
And sometimes I wish, you would change for me
And losing you hurts, but I know what you're worth
Even when you turn into memories

You're only here, making sure I know

When I go
I wanna go out on a high note
I wanna climb, I wanna run
'Til the day my body won't
Wanna see all I can see
'Til the moment my eyes close

Yeah, when I go
I wanna go out on a high note
I'm too young to worry now
I got so much more to do
But when I run out of time
I wanna know I've seen it through, for when I go

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

When I go
I wanna go out on a-
I wanna go out on a high note
Oh, oh, oh
I wanna go out on a
I wanna go out on a high note

    Sigrid taking on Brixton Academy is both a celebration, and a point towards the future

    Gigs can be really bloody special places. It feels like such an obvious statement; the months of build-up, that excitement as it draws nearer, the moment you turn the corner and see your favourite’s name up in lights. Tonight is all about one thing, and that’s the show ahead. A feeling of real life

    Sigrid is born to run at Reading Festival

    With the release of her 'Don't Kill My Vibe' EP earlier this year, Sigrid introduced herself as a pop sensation. Performing on Reading Festival's Dance Stage the Scandinavian artist breathes fresh life into the hype. Sugar sweet vocals hypnotise the crowd, never more so than in the set's single stripped back number. The real power here, however, lies in the songs' addictive pop punch. This is music with weight, an energy and motion destined to command, and the gathered crowd are powerless to stop it - not that anyone here wants to. Feel good almost to an extreme, it's a performance made to marvel in. So that's exactly what the audience do. Giving themselves in to the music, the energy builds with every bouncing riff. Dancing around the stage with an effortless grace, basking in the moment entirely, there's every sense that this is what Sigrid was born to do.

    Sigrid is a superstar at Latitude 2017

    How do you define a superstar? We've tried many different variations (I mean it's kinda our jobs y'know) but really, it's all about a feeling. A moment in time which you can point to and say "Yes - this is the real deal" and every other description can go to…
