Great prompt!! Had to rock out a bit.
Lyrics:
V1:
You take a chance
Do the dance
Figure it'll be fun
'Cause after all
You never fall
At least not 'till the party's done
You crank it up
Drink from the cup
'Till your house is on fire
Smile from ear to ear
You have no fear
All you feel is desire
CH:
Anything That'll Get You High
Sooner or later will take you low
Left, right, up or down, laugh or cry
You'll lose the ability to even know why
Anything That'll Get You High
Sooner or later will take you low
V2:
Then the morning sun
Makes you wanna run
Bursts your magic illusion
Your smile's now a frown
Entire body's down
In a ball of confusion
CH:
Anything That'll Get You High
Sooner or later will take you low
Left, right, up or down, laugh or cry
You'll lose the ability to even know why
Anything That'll Get You High
Sooner or later will take you low

Rock out, indeed! Good beat and strong lyrics illustrating the before and after of the crash. I like the contrast of the two, especially how you interpreted them musically.
Love those harmonies…..This is a really well constructed skirmish write. Bravo!
Love that harmony vocal. This is a great write
Wow, this is such a good skirmish! Great message and harmonies.
Really tight for a skirmish. Good observation as well. Great if we can find a non destructive high.
good anti-drug screed. like the rhythm guitar and vocal harmonies
I continue to be amazed out how people can write such good solid songs in such a short time! This is great. V2 is especially good, IMO. Nicely done!
Yes! Awesome! I was singing along with your catchy choruses. Solid write and melody for a skirmish. I haven't met a song of yours that I don't instantly like.
Wow, this sounds so good. The chorus is very catchy. A well crafted song - hard to believe you did this in under and hour!
Good sounding song, vocals, lyric & guitar. Enjoyed listening.
Fun, bouncy music. Very catchy and dynamite melody and harmony. Really impressive work - and I very much like that you used my prompt of "anything that gets you high"
Wow- this is really fantastic, in every way! I love the lyric content, that great chorus, the vocals and harmonies, and the arrangement really highlights all of the above.
and of course love that you hit a high note on 'high' and a low note on 'low' (there's a name for that, I forget what it is...)
Love that chorus! This is a jam, had me nodding my head with the music the whole way through. Well done!
Very beautiful song, catchy, melodious, wonderful to listen to. Amazing to come up with such a great song for skirmish. This is definitely a keeper. Loving the harmonies. Beautiful singing and playing.
A timeless power pop/folk sound that I just adore! And harmonies! You get a whole lot of rockin' done with guitar/vocal.
Wow, that is a fantastic chorus! The verses say it well too. The vocal harmonies are a delight. What a great song!
Great song and performance. Very wise and insightful lyrics.
Love the beat to this. Great take on the prompt.
Guitar and vocal performance is rock'n. Impressive skirmish. Chorus is infectious.
True enough words and delivered wonderfully!
Oh I love that chorus so much. This has a cool 90's feel to it. Really nice harmonies as always!
Wow, this is great work especially for a skirmish! Your storytelling here is top notch and that chorus is crazy catchy, I was singing along with you by the second one. I love how you go up on "high" and down on "low" that adds a little something extra.
