Song Review: Moonalice feat. Ray Benson - “Am I High?”
The question is rhetorical. But Moonalice leaves no doubt as to the answer on “Am I High?”
The stand-alone single features Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson as the band gets a jump on 4/20:
Am I high?/my mouth sure is dry/I just keep laughing til I cry/asking myself, ‘am I high?’
Though the lyrics suggest a novelty, the music - languid, swinging-like-a-pendulum jazz - suggests otherwise. The composition is utterly serious making the words that much sillier.
But as ridiculous as it is, “Am I High?” is a tightly rolled number every listener should light in to.

high off my absolute gourd just watched this video where frank picks up rays guitar part so smoothly and seamlessly for him after ray misses, and ray looks so proudly at frank!! im staring into my orb thinking about how frank and rays guitar parts aren’t just support and melody, they weave and interchange with each other like two unlikely friends shaking hands to band together to fight a common enemy (bells tingling over an ancient memory that remembers frank saying that playing live felt like he was fighting for his life) And how important it is that Ray felt like he could trust Frank to have his back while playing these songs especially when they were first starting to write together and i’m going insane. theres so much weight in trusting a stranger to fight alongside you and feel confident enough that they would handle their piece with care. ray is not only able to translate gerard’s thoughts into melody but ray and frank also share a common language that’s unique to each other in the creation of their art and you can see that in the way their respective parts communicate to and with each other in the music and onstage FUCK. i’m just vibing over how harmoniously frank and ray fit together as guitar players like this really is a once in a lifetime band. basically:
