Heather Nova is a musician originally from Bermuda who has seen much success in Germany. She went to school to study film and often sat in class writing songs to go with them. Later she gave up on film study to persue a music career. Oyster is Heather Nova's third album and the first one I listened to. "Walking Higher" is a somber song about the loss of a loved one. It's a shame I couldn't find a video to post.
Walking Higher by Heather Nova lyrics
I carry you with me, a ghost inside, and in these shattered arms you're still alive. I carry you with me, a holy shrine, and dogs and angels follow right behind.
Could I be walking higher? Could I be right beside her?
The bones they buried will feed the trees, but every word you ever spoke is still in me.
Could I be walking higher? Could I be right beside her?
And I will feel for you in the music. And I will send that river home. And I will cry for you sometimes when the night is down. And I raise my head up to the mountains, talk to the birds and I fly. 'Cause the spirit lives on when the body dies.
Could I be walking higher? Could I be right beside her? Could I be walking higher? Could I be right beside her? Could I be walking, walking higher? Could I be walking higher?
