Why does everyone have to get high to enjoy this?? This amazing music and video is a NATURAL high in itself - it needs nothing else but appreciation.

(watch?v=6CjtZov99KA) ... And if ya like what ya hear, could you kindly come back and give this comment a thumb up and perhaps Subscribe to our channel? we appreciate it dearly :)

Everyone doesn't "have to" get high to enjoy it - but it's obvious that the song is inspired by or influenced by tripping on some kind of drug. If you've been high you can see it, and that's fine. If you haven't been high like this and don't relate to that aspect then that's fine, too. But don't fool yourself into thinking this group doesn't trip pretty damn hard and then come up with these wild videos and songs.
