“Enough For You And Me” by Highline - A Song Feature

 

     The guitar near the start of “Enough For You And Me” sends the signal that Highline has the ability to write and then deliver attention-grabbing riffs. Still, the start does not prepare the listener for the conclusion in which all instruments are ablaze. The drums deserve praise for the level of energy that was required during the final minute. But the guitars are the stars of this production.

     From the perspective of the vocals, the highlights of “Enough For You And Me” are the soars, which are primarily in the chorus (during “…with you”). Sam Rigney is comfortable in the upper octave. In comparison to the chorus, the verses are more descriptive and less vocally acrobatic. A strong bass is featured during the verses, showing that Highline is skilled in all facets of Indie Rock and Indie Pop Rock.

     Lyrically, Highline explains:
   “The song is about leaning on your friends to feel better about the mundane times in life. It’s both a celebration of friendship and the good things it can do for you as well as a reflection of when you’re not happy with the way things are going.”

     Highline is based in Sydney, Australia. The four members are Sam Rigney (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rhys Hope (lead guitar), James Priest (bass), and Jim Osborne (drums). Quoting content with which we agree:
   “As the four-piece band from Sydney navigates the transition from teenagehood to adulthood, their lyricism has taken on a nuanced edge of loss and longing. Before, singing of young love and heartbreak, they now tackle the infinitely more subtle dynamics of evolving friendships.”
   “After bursting onto the scene in 2019, Highline have solidified their upwards trajectory with an impressive resume in that time. From sold out headline shows at esteemed Sydney venues, With Lansdowne, Mary's Underground, The Vanguard, and Oxford Art Factory, to clocking over 500,000 streams on Spotify, it’s clear that Highline are doing something very right.”

Lyrics of “Enough For You And Me” by Highline
I see you standing
Out in the front yard
Jacket in your arms
Your eyes are red and worn
 
And your patience
Is wearing danger thin
At work you’re struggling
Your boss at it again
 
It’s been a hell of a week
And I’m in the mood to not think with you, with you
Talk for hours bout nothing
Drink more than we should take in
And lose our heads.
Just let me know.
 
Tell me did you think
You could have been more
Than what you are now?
Tell me, are you proud?
For the weeks are long and weekends short lately
So come and save me
I’ll be waiting
 
It’s been a hell of a week
and I’m in the mood to not think with you, with you
Talk for, hours bout nothing
Drink more, than we should take in
And lose our heads
 
Cause tomorrow’s bringing nothing new
This can’t be enough for you and me
So come around this afternoon
Waiting by the avenue, I’ll be…
