A subtle pad synth can be used to widen the soundscape without taking away from the organic instrumental sound. \n\nProduction Notes: Keep vocals clean and crisp with subtle compression and EQ. Focus on a wide stereo image, particularly with the handclaps and acoustic guitars. The 808 bass should be felt more than heard. Use auto-tune subtly for a polished, modern sound.\n\nTempo: The song should maintain a consistent, driving tempo. Dynamics: The song is built around dynamic shifts. The bridge provides a necessary contrast before the explosive final chorus.\n\nTikTok Moment: The 'This is my high' chant with the hand motions would be perfect for a TikTok moment, and the short mandolin riff from the turnaround works as a great audio clip. Add a visible visual for the hand motions for easy engagement.","description":"A euphoric pop-country radio anthem about finding freedom and clarity through trail running in the mountains. \"This Is My High\" blends modern production with authentic storytelling, sensory details, and a massive, singalong chorus.
