Decaying Orbit is an experimental, unorthodox, highly diverse & genre-splitting band from Texas led by their infamous front man Mike Ash. "No, this music's not about that, it's not about sound quality, it's about passion." - Mike Ash. Decaying Orbit is produced by their label, Decaying Enterprises Productions and has released many studio albums since they formed in 2008, after the violent break up of the Psychedelic Rock band, Strangefire, of which Mike was the former front man. Decaying Orbit believes in unadulterated musical & creative freedom, Mike describes their music as a "cathartic purge" or "nervous break downs caught on tape.". The band believes that creating music is a sacred, spiritual and magical art form brought to them by the Muses, wraiths and demons hidden just beyond the veil between the worlds of the physical and spiritual realms. Decaying Orbit has traveled beyond the veil and into the realms of the spirits, only to reemerge, like a caterpillar from it's cocoon emerging as a beautiful butterfly, so does Decaying Orbit get reborn through the fire of their cacophonous tunage. The band believes in complete freedom of lifestyle, I.E. sexuality, religion, spirituality, drugs, manner of dress etc. They believe that music is an interstellar language that needs no translation to be understood by absolutely anyone. It's the passion behind the emotions found in the music that matters to Decaying Orbit, they believe that integrity is more important than fortune or fame. This is our Decaying Orbit & we do hope that you will N'Joy tha' show!!!!

Story behind the song
following the general theme of the album, "Great To Be High" is right at home. it just fits in perfectly!!! plus, it's just the simple truth, it really IS great to be high!!!! the best of us know this to be absolutely and utterly the truth. I know I am ALWAYS happier once I get high, more comfortable with myself & others as well. also way more mellow, patient and easy going too. I am a part of the war against the war on drugs!!!! legalize our crutches and stop locking us up in cages like filthy animals. the legal/justice system is a terrifyingly nightmarish & deplorably corrupt system of greed. it is merely a money-making business just like the Christian Church or Waffle House, it is sadly ALL about the almighty dollar. Truth and Justice actually has no real place in the legal systems of this abhorrently corrupt nation. the scariest part is that NO ONE is doing ANYTHING about it!!! no uprisings, no rebellion, no resistance what-so-ever, we just allow the Government to do whatever they want. "The gang & the Government, there's no difference!!!" - Perry Farrell(Jane's Addiction). anyways, I just get as high as I possibly can to try and forget just how horrifyingly messed up the shit actually is in this world. well, the world itself is a beautiful and wondrous place, it's the parasitic fucks that screw life up for us all with their moral hypocrisies & self righteous religious ideals that are really only Church Dogma, so they even misrepresent their OWN Lord & Savior. if they are capable of thinking that they know better than God, then they are dangerously egotistical and myopic. just stay away from them if at all possible. go make friends with a freak, a junky, a queer or a crackhead!!!! you will be soooo much less likely to get fucked over that way, I swear!!!
Lyrics
Great To Be High I’m not dead so just forget it Cut off my head-I’m so pathetic Nothing left –just try to kill it Here I am-I’m so magnetic Apocolypse-you’re so prophetic I can’t stop the clouds from dreaming I will die-I can’t stop the bleeding I cannot stop this bomb from exploding Hold it in and just keep on going End it all and just go back home It’s great to be high-it’s great to be alive If you let me try-you might just be surprised How bright my Love shines. I’m not dead so just forget it Cut off my head-I’m so pathetic Nothing left –just try to kill it Here I am-I’m so magnetic Apocolypse-you’re so prophetic I can’t stop the clouds from dreaming I will die-I can’t stop the bleeding I cannot stop this bomb from exploding Hold it in and just keep on going End it all and just go back home Slightly drastic-I’m an extremist I’m the chemist-mixing druggist It’s great to be high-it’s great to be alive If you let me try-you might just be surprised How bright my love shines I am yours and you are mine. I Love you all the time.
