"Getting things off to a glorious start with heavyweight guitars and lush hooks, "Lord Only Knows" is a mission statement set to major-keyed avant-pop music. According to Bates, "It starts like Whitesnake and ends like Liberace," reflecting a renewed interest in heavy-metal (see also: some breakthrough sessions with Dhani Harrison.) “Through therapy and proper medication, I’d hit a new place as a conscious being. Being of service was this warm, bright light that I wanted to be near. This song is that to me. When I close my eyes I see the shape, colors and probability waveform of where I’m trying to go. If that makes sense.”
Created and Directed by Adam Osgood.
"This is the third music video I’ve created for Big Black Delta over a period of 6 years, so working on “Lord Only Knows” was an opportunity for me to revisit characters and themes from “Huggin & Kissin” and “Bitten by the Apple.” What I love about the track for "Lord" is that it starts with a scream, and the first time I heard it, I immediately knew the story had to have a dramatic change in those first couple seconds. Because I wanted to return to the father/daughter relationship that was explored in the earlier music videos, I had to come up with a way to link back up to the previous stories about being lost in space. The last time we saw the father character, he was a god-like being hurtling towards earth as an asteroid. I thought it would be an interesting twist if it turned out that he was the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. I’m (unfortunately) preoccupied with apocalyptic thoughts during most of my waking hours, and wanted to parallel that Mesozoic destruction with my real-life worries about nuclear warfare. Including the Liberace character was an idea from Jon that I thought was brilliant, and incorporating something zany into this tale was a great way to counter the darkness. Jon Bates is masterfully talented and I’m incredibly grateful to have collaborated with Big Black Delta for a third time." - Adam

i was looking for "god only knows" by the beach boys and by mistake i wrote "lord" instead of god...what a pleasant surprise i stumbled upon!. sick instrumental/atmosphere!
Lonely astronaut turned space God turned killer of dinosaurs...what a journey it's been!🖤
Goddamn this is sick. First minute was not what I was expecting at all but the classic BBD sound totally dominated the second half. Loving this new direction, can't wait for the album!
My body is ready. Love everything about this.
God I love how this song evolves.
The end is near ... or a new begin
My all time favorite. Played over and over again. I’m also super interested in the story
This is the greatest unintentional birthday present ever. Thank you so much, Big Black Delta
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday
This song touch my soul.
Bates makes nothing but epic music. Hands down the most genius shit I’ve heard in a decade.
Lyrics: It's about that time again
It's already here
Lord only knows
What I was thinking
I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you right now, before I leave
I already know
What you're going say
I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you right now, before I leave
I'm going to love you
I'm going to love you right now
First sumnoner and then this! How incredible you're. Thanks a lot from Patagonia Argentina
Boló, increíble esta banda. Y no muchos la conocen por aquí, un gusto toparme con alguien que disfruta de BBD. Y si bien nunca hicieron show en Argentina se viene el streaming del 12 de septiembre, algo es algo!
@@torrapa Increible Banda!! Aguante BBD!!!!
BBD keeps evolving. Brilliant song, brilliant video and man what a spark of light during this foul year of our lord.
From Dinosaurs to the end of man, from metal to the epic ending - lot's of impressive evolution happening here. Hope I'm not being selfish by saying the fade out left me hanging. I wasn't ready to come down off it!
This video makes me cry every time I watch it. Adam did a great job giving this song a visual backdrop. Y'all are a phenomenal combo. It almost comes across like the Space Liberace guy is the one pulling all the strings behind everything. xoxo
It might have even started with the odd Songstress in Bitten By The Apple
John Bates, Master of synthy and/or choral "AHHHH" sounds
You might've crafted one of my new favorite song outros of all time
Big Judas Black Priest Delta . Perfect . 🤟
This song has everything..
HOLY SHIT A NEW MUSIC VIDEO!
This is such an emotionally intense video and song Thanks BBD!
Thank you for all you’re fantastic music over the years!
Huge everything over my body and brain listening to this
this is so damn good!!! Never disappointed by a BBD release.
As always, great video and music. Thank you!
Feeling it! Can't wait for more!
So happy you're back!
SOOOOOO good to have you back. Killer work!!!
This song is fantastic!
Absolutely stunning track.... pushing boundaries here
That voice soothes my soul
A bomb!!!
I'm glad you guys sent a mail, this is great!
Can't wait for July
It starts like Mötley Crüe, i like it. Cant wait for this album!
I’m really digging the delicate mix of exploring new styles and sounds, while also including that classic Big Black Delta sound we all fell in love with from the BBD EP / LP era. Though I still like The Summoner better (both visually and musically), this new track is getting me excited for hopefully a new record in the near future.
Beautiful
The Audio visual combo is so amazing
Love that intro
I thought I'd clicked on the wrong link for a second then. And although I love guitars and heavy music, I wasnt initially sure I wanted it mixed with BBD, but I think I like it now
What a jewel
🖤🔥🤘🏽
love this band
LOVE!!!
I'm listening to the song and smiling i don't know why
Keep it up BBD 🔥❤
Was on Twitch and preached about your music on there. Loving this song 👌❤️
SOO GOOD
Preordered this expected epic album so thanks in advance. This song is like a perfect collaboration of BBD and Mellowdrone which if it is, I’m hoping for more of it. God speed Mr Bates!!
💚
Perfect.
Badass
From picking up lights at Chaos Visual Productions, to blowing it out of the water with your own. Fantastic work Jon!
I love you BBD 💕
Badass!
Amazing song. I love the harmonies and the guitars in the beginning. So different from the other releases. But the genre doesn't really matter. Your songs wear you footprints. So... keep 'em coming! :)
Oh! I forgot to mention the great art style of this clip and the one from Huggin & Kissin! I always loved that style. Somewhat surreal.
It's evolution, baby
Such an amazing music clip. And it's a really liberating song, beautiful. Love it a lot.
Lyrics, please? Thanks in advance. :)
Temazo ♥
This would make one hell of a Bond theme song.
Genius.
Still my first and favorite band👾
Oh yeah!
YESssssss!
Really dig the animation style. Same guy also did Dhani Harrison’s video.
Ahhh ♥️
BBD 4 da soul.
This has me excited for BBD again.
Yup. 👍
What a great track this would be a prefect song to be in an nhl game
for a split second i thought why does this have so less views? but guess im just too early
❤
This is a really weird, beautiful song.
Guitar threw me off. Pretty awesome
KOOL
If I ever crash my bike, I want it to be to this track!
If I was a character in a 2D fighting game this would be my theme
Anyone else hear the broken Chicago tornado siren around :50 sec? So eerie, so good.
OBSESSED with this song! does anyone have the lyrics?
It’s about that time again
It’s already here

u r ma muse
That guy's balls are totally touching that brontosaurus for the ride.
How do you keep doing this?
Uncle Phil rides again.
lyrics? Alguien puede subir la letra? Gracias
Lord only know / what I was thinking / when I met this clip / by accident... I'm gonna tell you, I'm gonna tell you righ now, U won't believe...
Having seen No Time To Die, this would've been much more fitting (and powerful) for that intro (and more in line with the theme of the film) than the Billie Eilish theme. By a mile.
trying this a .75 speed. Still sounds extra beefy .
That cat...
anyone know the lyrics?
It’s about that time again

@@weirdwest1702 thanks!
Salvou a pandemia
Looking forward to Armageddon. There's no way to avoid nuclear war.
I'm not sure how many live instruments were used. I suspect it's mostly virtual instruments. I have no clue. It would sound better with more authentic guitars and drums.
BBD is the best at making their unique sound. But this song needs more session guitarists and drummers to be as immersive as it could.
The guitar riffs and drums need more life. In my honest humble opinion. Summoner was/is epic though.
Shuuuut uuuuuup
_"I have no clue."_
Thass all you hadda say...
Jon is an amazing guitar player... You really don't know what you're talking about.
@@dannygiovannini2669 I said I don't have a clue what they did. But with a lotta great rock music out there, and how good their other music is, this didn't quite match up.
Imo, he used his Mellowdrone band for this song. Bates first fantastic band
