Odesza never fails to place me into the chillest mood. Their music is so relaxing but at the same time so intense. The soft tones and nature-inspired sounds really give that Odesza sound that I love. Even though it is from a previous album, Echoes instrumental is probably one of my favorites because it just captures what I think Odesza does best, which is bringing us into another world while listening to their music. Great job guys.
This KEXP version of "Higher Ground" is so simple and stunningly beautiful. It brought my fiance and I to tears as we heard it together. I'm a professional cellist, composer and arranger. So.... I transcribed it out for my October 2018 wedding and it's what I walked into. I had a live string quartet playing, a mixdown recording of myself playing the keyboard part, multiple recorded brass lines for the ending, and the vocal line covered sublimely by a professional oboist friend (because completely pointless trying to find a perfect silken voice like Naomi). I initially had all the percussion parts in the mixdown too, but removed them. I thought it would be lacking without the funky percussion but it wasn't... it was peaceful and beautiful just like the opening and ending. We both sobbed in joy as I walked to him and and together we found our higher ground. Love you Adam.
Thank God that all of these miraculous events occurred to bring Higher Ground to fruition. The song is so Completely Sunning to me and my absolute favorite of Odesza. Naomi Wild is extremely talented and has an amazing heavenly voice.
Wow this is amazing Naomi Wild is so so talented for coming up with that. I’m surprised how she first sang it in her demo is how it ended up that’s awesome
Naomi Wild is a also a musician as well as singer, songwriter, painter, and more...which a lot of people probably don't know. She doesn't toot her horn about her talents so I think I will. Hehehehe. She is very modest and humble and I hope we get to see her other giftedness as well. She is so kind to share with others her journey because she likes to see others happy and hopefully inspire them too go for it as well! Many artist don't. However, Thank you to Odesza who understand the creative process in that they know it has movement and flows and is limitless. Unlike most ALL other artist who want to keep it a secret or try to hold on to it for themselves so people think they are on a higher level. When they need to be on a higher ground.
Your music is so deeply inspirational to me. I’ve spent many days digging holes, pulling weeds, planting trees with your ethereal sound pulsing through my brain. It is as if you’ve captured the beauty of nature and life and mashed it into waves that we can all understand. Thank you for the experience....and PLEASE COME BACK TO ASHEVILLE, NC. We’re all waiting for you!
Higher ground is definitely in the top 3 of my fav songs from you guys! I remember when it came out, I was out at lunch, pulled out my phone, stopped what I was doing, and jammed out to it!
To see such a humble soul like Naomi inspire these two guys to sit down and write music is lighting in a bottle. Hope she continues to inspire them long into the future.
I am a videographer and whenever I listen to Odesza or watch videos like this I am inspired to be creative something about them makes me wanna make something
Total goosebumps, thanks for sharing these insights into the collaborative process. Love the part about taking a song to a place you have never been before. That really resonated with me, got my spiritual juices flowing haha
I lost count of how many times this song has brought me to tears. The most beautiful song I have ever heard. Thank you universe for bringing it all together in a serendipitous way to bless us. 🙏🏼✨
Higher Ground’s my absolute favorite from the entire Album! ❤️ I can’t even count how many times I played it as my lullaby, while I’m walking down the city streets, while walking in circles around at night looking up to the stars. I love the song so much.
Just goes to show the power of inspiration and music in others. Look how Naomi was in the crowd seeing them perform... and then all of a sudden she's on a track with them. Absolutely stellar
There is just something spiritual and other-worldly in the way they create their music and you're transported to a different dimension the moment you immerse yourself into it
Amazing video!! I love these 'making of' stories, the one about 'Across the Room' got me to discover Leon Bridges and I've been listening to his stuff ever since. Also it feels rassuring after discovering that one of my fav DJs uses ghost producers to see how ODESZA produce for themselves. Keet it real guys, you're amazing! Actually, keep it surreal, cause that's what your music is: beyond this world!
I love Odesza their music is my family's favorite each and every track brings us together and we share together whether if the teens are into hip hop ,Alternative, or EDM. Odesza music really has brings us together especially on road trips!😊 it made me so happy when my sons watched one of the live concerts at home they all said at the same time they wished they was there in person at that moment they all confess to having goosebumps I'm really hoping to get to bring them to a concert soon !!
Nothin but big love for these guys and all the work they've done with so many.... “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ― Plato
I love how Naomi saw you guys at the Do Lab. She was inspired by you and I am sure felt the pull to you guys. Thank you for that! Such a kick ass song brought to life 🎼🎹💛
That's definitely one of my favorites from the album. Imagine a collaboration between ODESZA and Irina Rimes! I think we would get something as good as Naomi Wild.
This is my favorite song of all time. It always elevates me and puts me into an ecstatic mood. Thank you for sharing the story behind it! Love you guys so much!😍💖🙏🎶
I just wanted to say I live in Washington too and I'm a young aspiring artist, this really motivated me to push myself more-seeing how far you guys made it really gives me hope for my future:)
So inspiring and beautiful really how this all came about, I love this I love its story. This just made me love and appreciate the song that much more ✨✨✨✨✨
I believie in you... Perhaps some day I'll see you In the top of the Charts. :D I havn't a big chance with writing Future Bass Tracks, because it isn't very popular but you have the thing to it! Keep going! Plasmind
You guys are Awesome. Now this video has given a whole new meaning to this song. Never listened it with that mindset but was blown away after watching this video. And when that session came @2:04 and (that loop 🔥), Hats Off. 🙌🏳️
If i had a number for each time I played this song - sheesh. My ex hated me for playing this so constantly, however I didn't care. It's a damn good song and I've always liked Odesza. So much work they put in plus the crew in the back scenes. I have to make it to a concert one of these days. Between them and the folks they have so impressive - they deserve/earned a crowd. The fact even Leon Bridges was involved in one of their songs blew my mind - Keep it up C/H/N - Also the people that work their ass off that you don't see. Obviously it's not easy but I hope you folks do another colab with Leon/Wild @ some point. Where'd the name come from just out of curiosity.

This video gave the same goosebumps I had when I first listened to A Moment Apart.
Keep the good job guys.
That album is my absolute Odesza favorite … carried me through the last year of my father’s life and beyond!
Higher Ground’s my absolute favorite from the entire Album! ❤️ I can’t even count how many times I played it as my lullaby, while I’m walking down the city streets, while walking in circles around at night looking up to the stars. I love the song so much.
Damn she went from being a fan in the crowd, to playing on stage! Inspiration!!
I was stoked to have met Naomi Wild at Red Rocks this year during their tour. It will be a moment I will never forget!
Just goes to show the power of inspiration and music in others. Look how Naomi was in the crowd seeing them perform... and then all of a sudden she's on a track with them. Absolutely stellar
Seeing Odesza make their music is so beautiful it literally brings tears to my eyes.
we officially declare this as the greatest collaboration of all time
There is just something spiritual and other-worldly in the way they create their music and you're transported to a different dimension the moment you immerse yourself into it
That is SO amazing. Moves me to tears!

your video editors and cinematographers are gods
I’m crying 😭😭 I love them
An iconic song in the odesza catalog
If i had a number for each time I played this song - sheesh.
My ex hated me for playing this so constantly, however I didn't care. It's a damn good song and I've always liked Odesza. So much work they put in plus the crew in the back scenes.
I have to make it to a concert one of these days. Between them and the folks they have so impressive - they deserve/earned a crowd. The fact even Leon Bridges was involved in one of their songs blew my mind
- Keep it up C/H/N - Also the people that work their ass off that you don't see.
Obviously it's not easy but I hope you folks do another colab with Leon/Wild @ some point.
Where'd the name come from just out of curiosity.
Perfection in all forms
This is so cool. I could watch on repeat
One of my fav songs ❤️
Beautiful spectacular things only burn from free Romanticism mind and inspiration.
Can't wait for RED ROCKS ON FRIDAY!!
FUCKKK. have a great time.
