Live video recorded in one continuous take of the original song “Highballing Jack”. We recorded this song on the farm outdoors on one of the last sunny afternoons of the autumn 2021. Only two Eartrumpet Labs microphones, and one handheld camera, were used to capture the sound and imagery. Wonderful sunny mood and Jack keeps on highballing!

Lyrics:

Catch a train and ride
Highballing through hard times
Let me know when the ride gets rough
Because I´m not that tough

High times ahead
said the man who built the shed
Have a coffee,
you can sleep when you´re dead
Beacause right now we´re working instead

Highballing Jack,
Highballing Jack,
Highballing Jack
Keep on rollin´and stay on the track
Highballing Jack

Snakes in my dream
Wake up uneasy,
I don´t know what it means
Could it be a dark side of mine?
Highballing into the light

Highballing Jack,
Highballing Jack,
Highballing Jack
Keep on rollin´and stay on the track
Highballing Jack

Beneath all the dirt and grime
All I have is this moment in time
I dwell in the past and I fear what´s ahead
When I could be highballing instead

Highballing Jack,
Highballing Jack,
Highballing Jack
Keep on rollin´and stay on the track
Highballing Jack
