@@mattkirkhamm That's why 1 generation ago you had a record industry controlling/serving talent as opposed to talent serving themselves via this medium. It's what's good about "now" that in 20 years will be sure to be some swan song those decades my junior will be sure to lament as though their time was the greatest time.
I'd say "what a talented artist" if it wouldn't sound like an insult. Craftsman. Master craftsman. This man has put in hours upon hours studying what came before him in order to gain a high degree of technical proficiency on multiple instruments, and a thorough understanding of harmony and composition in order to have something original to say. Very much enjoyed this. Thank you.

Strictly speaking, "Doing the Things" is the sequel to "Bank Account" and "Money" is the sequel to "Doing the Things". Makes perfect sense, if you ask me.
YT is a miracle. Ever and ever again you detect fabulous young musicians you somehow never heard of before. Today I spotted Louis Cole and Knower. Woooooow. Multiinstrumentalism and video technique in this one reminds me a bit to Jacob Collier.
These lyrics really helped me make a tough choice today. Thanks Louise. I had my comment thought out....then I read the pinned comment from Louis. Do you all really gather that from this song he was asking for money? I should give him, and the Knower ACTIVATED FULL BAND, and ClownCore, and the guy who drives the van in ClownCore, and the guy who films the drive-by for ClownCore a little bit of extra jack that I have to maybe help them produce more funky ass beats. FFS do these get me jammin' Son loves em too. Especially the editing (the little horse next to the keys, the little pointing out obvious things, etc.). "..need enough just to do this....." That didn't spell it out for ya'll? ffs, smh, luzluzluzluzluzlluz and sorry Louis. I immediately replayed this song numerous times just because the lyrics were liberating, and again, reminded me of what is important in whatever decision it was I had to make today.
I watched three times before I even paid attention to the lyrics cause every time it hit “money” I was like “😯😮😲🤩 that bass line”. Great, great, great stuff!
Louis, your strength, creativity, spirit and dedication to your own ideas and identity are really fucking inspiring. No compromise. Only being real. I wish I were strong enough to live the hardcore artist life. A hard life, but a REAL one. I can only hope to support people like you, carrying the torch of true artistry. Never give up. Never stop caring. I love you
I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you're doing. A friend of mine turned me on to the live version of Overtime...just kind of in passing...and I was floored. Then, because my brain enjoys the warm comfort of rabbit holes, I started listening to the stuff you have in this channel. I don't even know what to say. I am utterly blown away. This is great and inspiring stuff...the very definition of why the arts are essential to push us forward, both as human beings and as a society. I hope that you're able to keep doing what you're doing and adhering to the principle of separating art from money. I love it. Thanks for the gift!
Yo Louis I hope you don't mind in like 50 years imma sample this gem because It's so fricking good. This song deserves to be number 1 on all charts everywhere.
I'm convinced we're going to talk about Louis Cole in twenty years time, as one of the true original musical geniuses. Of course he'll still be making sweet short songs then too. But the world will have finally caught up.
Bill Wurtz is every bit as harmonically and rhythmically interesting as Louis. Don't let his nonsense lyrics fool you -- it's plain from his work that Bill is a seriously accomplished musician.
John Suh I agree, my comment sounds like I’m dissing Wurtz. I just don’t know how else to differentiate the styles of music, where Wurtz is more keyboard and drums oriented, LC plays a wide variety of instruments.
I'll say, Louis' music are more repetitive and "danceable"(Knower is an electronic group) , Bill has more time signature change and unpredictable harmony.
"I need enough to just do this"
The new anthem for the struggling musician
The anthem of literally every person who works for minimum wage.
Been an old one for me.
I need enough money to afford a bass, a guitar, a drum machine, a computer, a camera, microphones... mad that 1 generation ago you would be lucky to own 1 Instrument.

Louis Cole is bassically one of the best artists working today.
He slaps
I am SO sorry for my comment.
You call this working?
I call this transcending the plane of musical existence! lol
Agreed! Louis Cole is the shit! I love his music!
100% Louis is the God damned shiznit
As a bassist, that is one of the weirdest slap bass parts I've ever heard. And I dig it.
Its the offbeat slapping thats weird but too funky brother
you should see him live, it's amazing shet
@@rageonlifefor2 Yooo. i hope you had a nice day ... but i’m trying to see you funk to this ! >>> ruclips.net/video/n4sNya9LuXE/видео.html
That cs he is a drummer in his sole and ass, I think. his approach is different to almost any instrument
.. Well, me too!
As a Britisher, I discovered Louis Cole about three days ago.
Holy fuck. This guy is a phenomenon.
He sure is.
You dirty wanker. 😅
Check out clowncore and look at who the musicians are

Well said! I like the way you put it
Exactly , not talent , but practice
@@JHLC186read the bottom of the description. Louis Cole is not inhuman for his skills, but for his dedication.
So good...!!!
Agreed
Lol what the hell Louis Cole is now also a bass god.
Right I was like wtf this probably isn't even his final form
I guess he woke up in the morning like "oh yeah, bass guitar is cool. Maybe I should learn and master it." *5h later* "Yeah, let's upload this song"
From the description:
"(I practiced this slap bass part every day for 4 months, and its the only thing I can play on bass as of right now)"
He's still a god but ya know
Prolonged exposure to Joe Dart
@Josh I agreed with you until you said 'natural talent'. That phrase alone craps on the hard work people put into practising.
maybe one of the the most creatively diverse and talented musicians we've seen lately
Not maybe, but certainly
Louis, there’s no dishonour in being paid for your art. You deserve your success, man.

Blimp, bank account, doing the things, money.
2'20"?! I dunno Louis, these short songs are getting awfully long...
I thought that too when i saw it was over 2 minutes lol
what is a long song to you? 🤔
I think he released an official statement on twitter increasing the maximum length of short songs from 2:00 to 2:20.
@@aislingoda6026 Anything over a minute.... I listen to too much grindcore
Now that I think of it, I haven't seen Sam Wilkes in any videos recently. Did Louis eat him and absorb his powers without telling anyone?
He's touring with them. Or, at least, he did for the US stuff.
You're a genius.
1% inspiration and 56 takes to get it reeeeeeeal nice Perspiration.
So are you, Andy! :-)
You seriously are one of my greatest inspirations in pursuing becoming a better musician.
I love you man.
Couldn’t agree more.
Wow, Louis Cole can play the drums very well!
Louis: *THIS ISN‘T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!*
*plays bass like a boss
he plays everything basically
Lol
epicly
Can't stop this wave!
Cole Slapping DA BASS, what a boss :o
This is otherworldly. I love it!
oh YES! that slap bass

BILL WURTZ VIBE
my favorite part!
@@mafirasyaharani7836 BRO!!!! I knew that shit sounded familiar.
One of the sickest slap bass riffs I've ever heard in my life and it is absolutely obscene how GOOD it is. I could listen to it forever.
This dude blows be away every time. The world aint ready
I watched three times before I even paid attention to the lyrics cause every time it hit “money” I was like “😯😮😲🤩 that bass line”. Great, great, great stuff!
hahaha same here
When it comes to contemporary art, Louis Cole is ahead of his peers. A true wizard.
Looks like Prince found a host for his spirit.
I wish I could like this comment more than once to make it go to the top b/c it's so damn true!
He IS!
been saying this since i found louis cole
been saying this since i found louis cole
@@chrisramirez9094 yes!
Legend.
Me at 0:30: Where the drums at Louis? 🤔🤔
_one second later_
Louis: *B A S S*
I flippin love Louis Cole.
I love the way the music of Louis Cole sounds......Sonically
Louis Cole is light. Good vibes.
Bro, save some instruments for the rest of us.
Louis Cole you are an inspiration.
HELL YEAH LOUIS
How am I just now seeing/hearing this??? SOOO GOOOD!!!! Thank you.
Considering you're already a great drummer/keyboardist/composer/arranger, could you plz not also be good at bass?
BassByTheBay if it makes you feel better he said on Instagram that this is the only song he can play on bass and that he really doesn’t play it
U forgot singer
to be this good takes SEGA.
The bass almost seems sped up its weird
DOOOOOOOOOD that slap bass!!!
So refreshing to see mega-talented artists like this on youtube
New favorite song. God damn.
Never stop making music Louis.
Awesome!

You changed my life is a huge, light filled way Louis Cole 🎆
THE BASS, OMG I love you Louis
Louis cole for president. your bass line make me so happy, Thx
MAN every single song this guy makes is an absolute bop
Excelente!!!! Y la campera también!!
It breaks my heart that this masterpiece isnt on spotify
Spotify stole all my music...
Maybe not, but you can at least buy a digital copy of the song on Bandcamp
might be worth to use bandcamp exclusively for louis cole listening sessions.
Lots of good shit isn't on Spotify. RUclips Music instead has it all.
This NEEDS to be a full song. Absolute fav LC creation 👌

Dear Louis Cole,
All of these on streaming please?
Thanks
The Louis Cole meter should never lower! Another banger yet again!
Still in love with it.
every song slaps. never disappoints! keep it up!
Pfff ! Just ''Waouh'' !!! 😍😱🔥🔥🔥
Yo Louis I hope you don't mind in like 50 years imma sample this gem because It's so fricking good. This song deserves to be number 1 on all charts everywhere.
That right there is the sound of a brand new set of bass strings! Amazing.
first “doing the things” now this, i feel an album coming up ✨😊
One just came out this year with "doing the things", some great stuff on there!
Yes Yes Yes!!! Your the man L.C!!!
1 word: amazing!
Not only the song. Also the charity, and in general everything you do in this culture is amazing! Keep up!

Always a joy !!!!!!

Lyrics are life. Love this song already.
“I’ll make sure the charities are tight” 😂 ok
30 secs of music can be really amazing
This is so good! The chords/part in the beginning reminds me om Level 42 in some strange way
amazing musicianship
Has Sam Wilkes in his band.
Still decides to pick up the bass.
Brass balls.
Mans a fucking musical god. A modern musical god. It's almost humbling to see this in the making.
Your music is like refined Bill Wurtz stuff.
Bill Wurtz is already that

@@jalfredprufrock620 Also his lyrics are far from nonsensical. They are weird, but not randomly chosen. They often do have a story to tell
I'll say, Louis' music are more repetitive and "danceable"(Knower is an electronic group) , Bill has more time signature change and unpredictable harmony.
Incredibly gnarly wow
Don’t normally, but immediately went and bought this from Bandcamp.
Louis Cole is a much needed breath of fresh air for music.
The Deep underlying Message Is Louis Cole Needs money. But he doesnt care about it, he cares about making great music.
He just posted something denying this. I think he’s well off.
Your conclusion about the deep underlying message in this track lacks in depth, as seems to me.
BEAST
Louis Cole is actually a bass god.
Not a big surprise.
Edit: Read the description. He's just crazy.
Oh man this funks things up.
Money is a great song:
- everybody: "ah yes, Pink Floyd"
- me an intellectual:
Well, I mean they're both centered around bass i guess?
I love you louis!
Louis Cole is on a different level omg
Can't help this being me favorite Louis Cole track so far, that bass is just so funky.
I got so used to seeing Louis with sunglasses, I feel weird when I see his eyes
You are a strong spirit, thank you for your gift
So... hes basically Bill Wurtz, except like a god at every instrument?
need more louis cole in the world
Louis be like “Oh yeah, I also play the bass a little..”
I try to watch this every week.
Looks like an early 90s sponsporless Jeff Gordon :p
great musician this sir louis cole . . . !
Louis Cole is the only artist I'd go to Burger King with.
I feel like he’d wear his big circle sunglasses and just like sip a pepsi the whole time just sayin “yeah” to everything you say
Perfection
Waiting the ultimate crossover between Louis Cole and Bill Wurtz
Gods bless you Louis Cole
Can you post a video of just the slap bass part close up or will that reveal too many secrets
That's epic give it to that bass! Love the contrast with the cool mellow feel and then jump right in the punchy funk.
I think Bill Wurtz just ripped this off
Love "Green Becomes the Only Race"....& The Syncopated Groove...
