08 // SKY HIGH HERALD
SOURCE: Hark! The Herald Angels Sing · GENRE: Drum and Bass · BPM: 174
"Angels at scripture-described speed sound like 174 BPM."
Hark the Herald Angels Sing is about angels moving fast. At 174 BPM over a breakbeat, Sky High Herald is the first track in the album to actually match the physics the carol is describing. 'Joyful all ye nations rise / Join the triumph of the skies' is what Drum and Bass feels like. Flying on electronic wings. The original's second verse says the point of all this was to 'raise the sons of earth' (to lift people up). The DnB rush is that lift. The herald is still singing. You can hear it in the soaring synth lead over the snare roll. Same signal. Much faster medium.

Listen... Can you hear the signal? It's coming from the sky. Hark the herald angels sing Vibrations on a broken wing Glory to the newborn sound We lift our feet up off the ground Peace on earth and mercy mild The rhythm running fast and wild God and sinner reconciled We're running like a golden child! Joyful all ye nations rise! Join the triumph of the skies! With the angelic host proclaim! We're never gonna be the same! Never be the same! WAIT FOR IT! HARK! Glory! Glory! The Herald! Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace The energy will never cease Light and life to all he brings Flying on electronic wings Mild he lays his glory by We're rocketing across the sky Born to raise the sons of earth Given us a second birth! Hark! Hark! Hark! The Herald Angels Sing! GO! Glory to the newborn King! Feel the rush! Peace on earth... Mercy mild...
