LYRICS
In early takes
The ones not ever heard
We keep the bleeding road
A sound that we know for sure
Each passing street light sunrise and sunset
The endless reachable
The closer we get
Both front seats full
Straight for the non-exist
Meant to be doing this
Crash the car through the stars
Burning in yellow glow
Floor it and don't let go
Crash the car through the stars
Running the reds of should and should not do
The sirens fade away
Now nothing can change this view
The ride shakes violently, hold tight to beliefs
What's never been before is where we want to be
Hearts and seats full
Straight for the non-exist
Meant to be doing this
Crash the car through the stars
Burning in yellow glow
Floor it and don't let go
Crash the car through the stars
Yeah always knew
Crashing through
Yeah now it's true
Crashing through
Straight for the non-exist
Meant to be doing this
Crash the car through the stars
Burning in yellow glow
Floor it and don't let go
Crash the car through the stars

this perfectly captures the internal monologue i have whenever I borrow my friend's tesla
Ok, so ur a terrible friend. Got it.
@@MGSfan shut up nerd
it's the car's internal monologue as well
@@MGSfan no im the best friend ever
LMFAO
The alto sax solo perfectly encapsulates the glory and romanticism of vehicular manslaughter.
yes
Matthew Broderick, is that you?
Sounds more like Patrick Bateman than Matthew Broderick, imo...
@@peterfalconer hahahahaha
@@peterfalconerHe paid them $175.00.
What more do you want from the man?
As an elderly person who is always searching for something new worth listening too, I cried after the second time I watched this. God bless the algorithm.
Such odd lyrics, but an incredibly moving melody.
You're just a big 'ol softie,
Really???? What am i missing??
@@Jimd905 Are you genuinely perplexed because you can't fathom anyone being affected so positively by this particular piece of music, simply because you don't feel the same way about it? I mean, surely you can relate, as far as knowing what it feels like when a piece of music does resonate with you so strongly, no? Obviously, what it is that gets one person off, may be something vastly different than what gets someone else off, but the outcome and feeling is universal. Anyway, moral of the story, you're not "missing" anything, this song just isn't your jam, and that's perfectly fine. Peace.. DC
@@fatbackfunk well said
RIP to those who got the release notification while driving and took it as a sign from God that the time has come.
This is the highest quality music currently being released
❤
It's high.
Yes
Spot on mate. It's astounding.
Wholeheartedly agree!! :)
Seriously…..this is Genevieve’s finest so far. I’m
Floored
I luv her
@Duck Taco um, no i don't hate everything??
Competition for ruclips.net/video/ORLSD1h3E54/видео.html (from 11 years ago), for sure.
Genevieve’at her best indeed!!!!!
Some of her other performances are outstanding also but yea, I I think this tune really suites her vocal style and I am impressed with the tune and performance. I have a bit of trouble getting used to the boxy sounding drums but all this is brilliant considering this is garage and bedroom production. BTW.. I can't help think that Janet Jackson was a big influence on GA in childhood. Very similar style in my opinion. Loving Knowers continued success and music making.
These people don’t take themselves too seriously with their silly outfits and such. But make no mistake, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written/recorded.
I don´t like the voice of genevieve, it´s just so squeaky and false, i don´t know if i´m the only one
@@irvingavalos1215 well you’re wrong then…
@@irvingavalos1215you're definitely not the only one
Many people don't like her voice from what I've seen
I don't see it though
@@irvingavalos1215 She might not have the volume of an opera singer but she uses what she has with utmost perfection. She's a full blood musician. Same case as Al Jarreau.
@@irvingavalos1215 you are.
Wow, I forgot music can make you feel things.
It's like the lion king ost in contemporary retro.
Like crashing the car.
@@ryanb418 a 180 u turn there
Yeah. There’s some other good music out there. You can ask me, if you want suggestions. IMO, I am actually the ultimate authority on good music.
This is KNOWER's ultimate form. We are witnessing the true beginning of their careers. This is it. We're buckled up and ready to go on this ride with you. Godspeed.
This album is incredible, but they've been making incredible music for over a decade, not exactly a beginning but more of an amazing middle bit 🤩
@@evanrman8048 Agree but this feels... different.
@@evanrman8048 Oh I know, I've been listening for years. But this IS different. This is the acceleration point.
@@semilog643 yea its off the floor recordings now and not dubstep fusion...
This is definitely not my favorite stuff from them lol. The house jams from years ago eat this for breakfast. I enjoy new releases and have nothing but respect for this but I don't get the hype for it over previous killer output.
I am loving this vocal range for Genevieve. It's a great change from the short, higher, rhythmic notes; lower and sensuous, this band is so freaking good.
this comment section is a bunch of music nerds gushing and i am totally here for it. this is my current favorite song.
I just love Sam. Whatever he's playing, he's 200% into.
His Passion makes me passionate
Sam is amazing.
Bass Face
which one
I always knew Genevieve had range but it's always nice to be reminded of it. And Louis just nails any kind of music he composes, can't stress enough how brilliant he is
That "modulation up" after the beautiful bridge was a master-stroke. That felt so good. Genevieve's voice really opened up there.
and is actually the first time the choir start using open vowels, so the whole texture opens up heavenly
Yeah that key change is like "wtf key are we in now?"
Hey KNOWER - 5th grade science teacher here, love your music
When my kids had finals last year, I gave a pump up speech to each class and used this song as an "emphasizer" :))
My pump up basically consisted of me encouraging the kiddos to push through even when they doubt themself, crash the car through that wall!
Extremely proud to say they scored the highest in my charter network for 5th grade science finals!!
Your music has always been a grounding sound while I plan through lessons. I constantly come back to this song when I have a day where my lesson doesn't go as I planned. This song reminds me that sometimes, you crash and burn and sometimes you crash through the non-exist.
you are a cool teacher
@@VictorMartinez-vi7jxcame to say the same lol
that's so cool. major props, knowing that there are students that have been affected by this incredible song jusy feels good. dare I say it makes me feel like a knower 🎉
dawg....fuck yeah
Anyone else inexplicably tear up when the strings kick in? This track is beyond amazing.
Insane...
Came looking for this comment. Amen, brother.
Big same. The brass coming in after the DB solo also felt pretty magic
Yes!
I had to snap it to a buddy, with a "so long since I heard live strings in music." And I was gobsmacked when I started listening to the record. Didn't expect a beautiful string intro in Knower Forever :)
I never thought I'd find something I miss every second of the day, and it would be these works of art I yearn to experience. Thank you everyone. Please just don't stop creating. It's making the whole universe better.
This is the type of music that changes the world
@@emaniacgames8391 Couldn't agree more with both of you.
I am convinced that Genevieve doesn't have a "vocal range." She just wills whatever she wants to sing into existence for a given song, and it's always fire.
I'm left with feelings I don't understand.
I've always wanted to make music that creates that reaction
The last 30 seconds of Jacob Mann twoodling out 80s synth notes while 50 professional musicians stand arround doing jack shit is the most Knower shit ever. No notes. +1
Genevive, WHAT?! Probably the best vocal performance I've ever heard out of her.
Without question. Absolutely stunning
Or anyone really
Nothing makes me more excited to make music than watching KNOWER ✨⭐️🌟🚗
And this is coming from THE MAN for music theory on the internet. That's saying something huge.
I didn’t really enjoy the vocals. They needed a small amount of reverb
@@ineedtostopwatchingyoutube5211 you're basically telling one of the leading educators of music theory on this platform that you don't give a heck about music theory lmao. reverb is the cheapest hack
Lol who gives a fuck if it sounds good...@@pauldee1577
I feel exactly the same. I really think it's because they are truly free and won't sign with a label and do what they want. Being geniuses helps too.
Genevieve knocks it out of the park every time she performs, her vocal control is perfect, but this slower, lower, sensual song has me *feelin*
The string line at 3:33 walking up in fifths is absolutely gorgeous. Feels like a portal in the sky is opening up
(so you can crash your car through the stars)
Wow what just happened to my ears? Why am I crying?
Yes.
@@unrussleablejimmies4428lol MUSIC baby!!!
When I was This age The String section of The Beatles " Day In A Life" FELT like this .
So they're collision shouldn't be avoided 🚗
What a wonderful song. Definitely not the vibe I expected from the title. Pleasantly surprised. String, sax, chorus. All wonderful. You're an amazing band and I love you.
This is how car crashes used to be when quaaludes were still available
@@GizzyDillespee send me back
And don’t forget brass🤌🏾🤌🏾
This song perfectly captures the emotion you feel when you're a depressed retail worker sitting in your car after a 12 hour overnight shift wondering what you're doing with your life, and maybe you should just... floor it. Right into that wall over there. And it'd all be over. It'd all be so much more quiet. So much less chaos.
If you're familiar with this emotion, please see a therapist. They can help.
@@ajaxtaur Stunningly descriptive
David Binny’s entrance through the side door got me 🤣
having a full knower live album is the most incredible thing to happen this year
Agreed... This year does set a rather low bar mind you.
wait this album was recorded live?
@@christophermaynard528 no theres just mics everywhere for fun
when you feel yourself about to say "I'm not crying, you're crying" as you tear up listening to this alone in your house, that's the sign of perfect, beautiful, magical music. I have only known of you for a couple months, KNOWER, and you have been melting me right from the start and ever since.
I came to say this made me cry, and then found that so many comments here are reporting the same thing. These people are so powerful with the tunes.
When the strings came in my jaw dropped. Beautifully orchestrated. Looking forward to listening to this new album.
Louis knows how to do it!!!!!
The double basses are outside on the patio!
Me too! and by the end I was on the verge of tears. Wow!
This calls for Last Night of the Proms in RAH....
I cannot believe that I cried. This song is so freaking beautiful.
u aren’t alone, believe it!!
Yea I can believe that for sure dude 🥲
We all know Louis can rip the drums but do not overlook his ability to just be DEEP in the pocket. My goodness.....
He’s just completely and effortlessly elite behind a set
I was thinking the same thing! so tasteful and groovy
yeah he's got a whole 2 bedroom apartment in that pocket frfr
He’s an absolutely spectacular drummer; the feel is just so sick
I love the Janet Jackson vibes in the vocal and melodies 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is the first digital album ive bought in years. I made a freaking bandcamp subscription for this. Its fucking amazing
Same
Same, i didn't want to wait 4-6 months.
same, it was the perfect storm of seeing louis and genevieve live, them asking people to buy it on bandcamp and the album being Knower
I do get some here and there, but it’s definitely always this situation where a band I love really wants fans to help them out. I will try and grab the vinyl if it ever becomes available in my country, because shipping is killing me.
Me too, in fact it's the first digital album i have ever bought in my life!
That sax solo was heavenly.
Ok so this will be long, but whatever.
So, i enjoy all the knower songs, but i Love this song, because it has outgrown the knower songwriting formula. Not that they sound the same, but its so easy to stay in a lane.
To all those that say, "this tempo sucks" or " not funkky enough" let me tell you something. You have no idea how hard it is to play with restraint and meaning. Anyone can spray a flurry of notes and shred, but to play with s p a c e takes extreme skill. There is no missing or excess parts here, this is as close to perfect you can get. Music is about decorating silence, and what you dont play, and this is it! Its the modern "here comes the sun" sure it sounds simple, but start counting "here comes the sun" and identifying parts, its really crazily written.
Ive got this on loop all day, and its really sinking in, and actually is the only piece of music, if anything, that can pierce this shell i wear.
Thank you!
Y’all this shit has me in tears 🥹
Right here with ya🥺
Same
I usually prefer your fast stuff but omfg what sweet singing backed up by the incredible talent and hard work I've come to expect. Bravo everyone!
Yep this is one of their slow bangers.
so fucking good top to bottom
Check out That's Where You Are if you hadn't, by far my favorite of theirs. (Also just one of my favorite tracks ever, period)
The way it comes in really reminds me of Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now, as well as some other parts from that one, like the bass at 1:10
Binney slayyyyyyed that solo. Even just that opening line was nuts
has such a nice structure
Since the 1980s, when i started listening to and playing jazz music, I’ve found myself wondering what jazz might become in the 21st century. This is it.
This is a very challenging vocal performance executed brilliantly. These chord progs and modulations are very difficult and sound awful if not nailed.
The mix is fire. The strings and horns and of course drums are dripping with the right amount of lo-fi analog juiciness. And the vocals are properly bright and full.
Next level Grammy material.
That Saxaphone part comes in so perfectly, and the vocals of course are so good
Genevieve's voice and saxophones are such a complimentary mix
the saxophone was the only part of the song i disliked. it was so typical sax solo and didn't at all match the vibe of the song.
@@Mekhami There's probably no need to write that in a comment. Personal taste and all that.
@@richardjones2189 "You can only comment if you're saying you like stuff" isn't an actual thing. Let the guy talk, even if he's wrong.
@@Mekhami Fair enough
This is sick. This needs to be played everywhere, all the time. And Sam Wilkes facial expressions are everything. It's like he's trying to pass a kidney stone. Love this more than my family xx
To art is to suffer!
TBF some of the bass fills are really fun for a ballad, and don't feel out of place at all. Very impressive arrangement.
You can tell he's jazzing hard from his stank face.
You're right, this should be played everywhere! I work in IT at a healthcare company and I think I just convinced my scrum master to play this song at our team retrospective tomorrow. I can't wait.
In one night I’ve learned of Louis Cole, KNOWER, and now I’m about to eat a tofu sandwich. God bless America. I’m 76 years young and I have hope for these kids now.
I was with a unit about 9 years ago here in Boston, opening for them with Nate Wood. They were really cool folks to chill and rap with. I had never heard of them before, but I remember Genevieve warming up in the green room before their set, and there was something about her voice that sent chills up my spine! Then when they went on and did their set, and......HOOOOOLY SH*T!!! I'd NEVER had my mind blown in quite that way, and ever since then I've not only been a fan, but a student of theirs. This new material is a really interesting turn in their evolution as artists, and it will be really fun to see where this goes! God bless you guys, and keep up the incredible work!
You lucky, lucky, lucky bastard. Her song Before the Dark murdered me.
These videos blow my mind every time, there's so much to take in... incredible music and vocals, the video editing, there's a choir outside the garage, a full orchestra in the living room and kitchen, sax soloist hidden behind a door, Tyvek suit camera man, guy on a metal flying-V style guitar playing jazz chords... my senses are overwhelmed, and I'm loving it.
Thank you for summarising that - I don't have to 😊
Love this advanced group of superior musicians..well, they've found the new window of opportunity to enter into an "Alice through the Looking Glass " type magic ... a world so easy to take in and how about David Binney lighting up that Alto Sax... Wheww.
Who else paid USD10 at band camp but keeps watching this here on repeat?
This piece of music is one of the most spectacular things I've ever heard. They achieve something universally beautiful here, with humour, humanity and a fully joyous execution. Knower Forever.
Seriously - there's something about the melody and progression that feels profound and timeless.
I also experienced the timelessness yet so present at the same time
Seeing Genevieve come alive in this song is like when you suddenly see someone you have know for a long time in a new light and they are more magnificent than you could have ever imagined!
Still watching on June 1st 2023 after all this time.
glutton for punishment
Loving the way the arrangement supports Genevieve's singing! Great showcase for her vocal talents.
Also, every time I see a video produced in this house, it makes me happy. This music is legitimately coming straight from the artists to us. They make it look pretty easy, but producing a song that sounds this good, with so many musicians filling up a whole house is bananas.
The fact these are basically live recordings. The absolute quality everytime in Louis mixes is his most underrated skill.
I like to imagine the neighbors enjoying a house of beautiful music on the block.
Dave Binney is the man!
Wilkes on the bass is probably my religion by now
Genevieve, your voice is what I think of when people say angels are singing.
This collective deserves all the success in the world. This is where things need to go. Listing all the good things in it would simply be listing everything in it, but somehow Genevieve's more forceful delivery after the bridge seems the one ingredient above all that was needed, with the phrase-ending vibrato at 3:37 just so gorgeously perfect.
This song marks the evolution of human music. This is one of the most beautiful, funky, soulful, silly, and impressive songs i think I’ve ever heard in my 3+ decades of music listening.
BTW the whole album is absurdly good… like not a single bad track.
Thank you, KNOWER! I gave you extra on Bandcamp!
Can’t get enough of that sax solo - the first run 4:02 ❤
David's sound isn't my favorite, but it fit really well with this song.
ITS SO GREAT BEST SAX SOLO EVA
I just noticed the connection between the lyrics to this song and The Abyss. Gen seems to be lamenting the fact that they keep it real and make amazing music, and yet they are relatively unknown, while untalented pop stars get all the attention and money. I like it. I think a lot of us who are struggling musicians feel the same way.
The vocals from Genevieve at 3:58, absolutely godly
Genevieve is bloody perfect, what a voice and a what a song!
When i first heard this song …i instantly knew what they were talking about and cried …Genevieve beautifully killed this song ….the whole ambience of this song is so outer space !!! Brilliant !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎤🎤🎤🎤🫡🫡🫡
Genevieve really shines in this one. Beautiful vocals and overall composition.
She's just perfect in this song. Or this song is perfect for her. Or both. It's all perfect.
The bass is so good. The snare sounds edible. The arrangement is unique and delightful. The mix is balanced and punchy. The instrument selection is wonderful. The minimalist vibe is perfect. Great job guys!
Never heard a snare being described as "edible" but I really like that.
What about this is minimalist?
@@pauldee1577 compared to the arrangement/tempo/feel of your average Knower song? Cmon man
"minimalist"
@@pulvenberg1709 You mean you don't have the incessant urge to chew discs of metal? How odd.
FYI - The sickest tracks on the album haven’t even been posted on RUclips yet. The end of “Nightmare” is basically Louis and Mononeon jamming for 3 minutes. And I’m not even sure how to describe “Do Hot Girls Like Chords”. It’s almost metal. With a legit guitar solo. There’s also what sounds like an actual Clown Core track with Genevieve singing on it. I definitely hope those first two have video. It seems like the whole thing was recorded like this.
everybody involved in this song should know they've made something that will never EVER be replicated. this is seriously a once in a lifetime experience hearing this for the first time. everthing about this is just so so so so so so so so so so so so perfect. i can only imagine how i'll feel if i ever see this live.
What a beautiful track. Harmonies just keep growing and Genevieve's singing here (+ some vibrato!) really takes this to the next level... right to the soul.
Look everyone here is top of the game, but her vocal control is bonkers. Mad. Love it all. Keep it up Cole.
The bassist's expressions make the whole video. That man was born for this.
I've never seen Gens eyes much before indeed the window...Coles bringing back bridges and modulations, among other things. Me and my dad used to listen to AM radio lots of Steely, Kool and the Gang etc...Dad died in car accident I'm sure he woulda loved Lou too..
Beautiful
That flying V guitar is the most Louis Cole thing ever. Such a great track!
Love Cole's snare sound. Always hits the spot.
Appears to be using a Ludwig Black Beauty. Great drum.
I love his drumming usually, but I feel this it was just a tad too loud and forward on this track
@@WooliteMammoth me too, even the timbre and compression are to aggressive foe such a smooth track
He needs a drum tech
This song makes me cry like a little baby and I don't know why. I'm not even sad, it's just too beautiful.
Knower has got to be music's greatest gift post 2010's.
I realise that:
1) this is incredible execution by all performers - I love you all
2) I’d pay more than Coldplay tix to watch you live
3) I’m/we’re so weird in the best ways possible
The world needs this right now
the type of music that makes you clutch your chest, wipe teary eyes, and sway to the tune💘
This song is such a masterpiece. You can always count on Knower to make some awesome music.
this was stuck in my head for like 3 straight hours last night. i'm back for more.
Thanks for all the knower crew! Your music helps me love what I’m doing everyday even more. Gotta crash our own cars through the stars!
Wow, this time they bring a whole orchestra, brass ensamble and choir in to their house, can't wait to listen this new album next month.....
wait a minute: WE ARE IN NEXT MONTH ALREADY, JUNE 2 IS WITHIN 6 HOURS TO MIDNIGHT!!
It dropped early, not sure if that's for everyone or just because I pre-ordered the vinyl. Either way, it's really really good.
Fuck. Every time you guys make a song its. So fuckin good. Thank you guys for making music.
This one was extraordinarily incredible
The definition of human beuaty is people like this coming together to create something like this.
The only reason Knower isn't famous (yet) is because they don't suck! Amazing music!!! Keep on making everyone else SUCK!!!
This is like the Disney hero song Disney would never had the guts or imagination to make. Just wow.
😂
I as well found myself thinking this is like the best, most max-evolved Disney song ever. Good luck, Walt.
i have barely any gas money for the next few weeks because i spent it on the vinyl but it’s SO WORTH IT
same same
Who needs gas when you can just crash the car?
@@Kidynamo123 BUT HOW DO I CRASH THE CAR WITH NO GAS?!?!
@@Neon_Specs roll down big hill. ez.
The most curing song of 2023.
I think if I was at a live performance of this song I would actually burst into tears, it's so cathartic
This song is a journey. In the first minute I nearly skipped it moved on to another one. But I didn't and now I'm crying. What an amazingly constructed build-up and a powerful crescendo.
Everything about this was pure magic. I was enraptured by the time the strings joined in.
❤️
I love when the kitchen table of strings hits outta nowhere
Those slow ones stir my soul over so easily. Can’t even imagine how good it must feel to be playing in the band on one of those songs.
the ending is always the best feel when everybody steps away.
How come every one of your songs brings me to tears due to its absolute beauty?... fantastic. The best.
Rick Beato should review the band's music
the bands silence and contained excitement, after they finish, to let the last seconds of music fully flow... this gives me chills
Parts of this song make me think this absolutely would have been a radio hit if it was released in the 70s. Beautiful arrangements too.
I could easily hear Michael Jackson singing it
I lost my dad in a car accident when I was twelve... Playing and composing music help me all my life to manage my emotions.... This tune... tune me up so deeply... I thank you so much!
This is a masterpiece. Tears welled up. Captivating. The human spirit released on the airwaves for all to ride along in the joy of 'crashing through'. Knower,you captured it. Thanks.
That one is now my favorite.
Thank you RUclips recommendations, this has changed my life
Genevieve subtly channels Michael Jackson in the best way.
I'm just gonna say that this may be my favorite song of 2023. That emotion at the end of David's solo. Holy shit.
