    Simple yet profound, Thom truly is our greatest songwriter and musician of the generation.

      Agreed..and so under rated. But that's what I like about him...I don't think he does it for clout. It comes from the heart. Probably why he doesn't get more attention because most people don't have hearts. They would rather hear people singing about drugs and guns and having sex on the dance floor. I've been listening to Thom since I was 13 years old and it never gets old.

    When I first heard this song I wasn’t that into it, but last week and this I really found a new meaning of the vocals. Funny how Thom can capture your emotions before you even experience them in your life. Been listening to it on repeat and now the video came out. Very strange, very eerie. Hope everything will end well, I need to come through eventually.
    To all those struggling - we are in this together and better days are ahead

    Free in the knowledge
    That one day this will end
    Free in the knowledge
    That everything is changed
    And this was just a bad moment
    We were fumbling around
    But we won't get caught like that
    With soldiers on our backs
    We won't get caught like that
    A face using fear
    To try to keep control
    When we get together
    Well then, who knows?
    If this is just a bad moment
    And we are fumbling around
    But we won't get caught like that
    Soldiers on our backs
    We won't get caught like that
    I talk to the face in the mirror
    But he can't get through
    I said, "It's time that you deliver
    We see through you"
    I talk to the face in the mirror
    Now, he can't get through
    Turns out we're in this together
    Both me and you

    Thom and Jonny are amongst the finest musicians of our time. Jonny is now on a level with Philipp Glasss. Thom's songwriting is awesome. And his lyrics are pure poetry. The text of Free in the Knowledge is one of the finest poetry of the upgoing century comparable to Auden, Trakl and Rimbaud. So here we are really on the heights of art creation.

    "Smile and others will smile back. Smile to show how transparent, how candid you are. Smile if you have nothing to say. Most of all, do not hide the fact you have nothing to say nor your total indifference to others. Let this emptiness, this profound indifference shine out spontaneously in your smile" - Jean Baudrillard
