Black Steam's latest release, "Higher" takes the listener into the cockpit of a fighter pilot torn between duty, adrenaline, and the brutal reality of war. And that contradiction is what makes the emotional punch of the core journey of the song work: to go up higher while questioning why you are fighting in the first place. It's not about glorifying the mission; "Higher" is about the human toll and the desire for freedom beyond the fight. That perspective has a lovely tension, providing the track with a sense of movement while keeping its emotional focus grounded. With Black Steam, "Higher" is less like a battle cry and more like a plea for peace.
