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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Knower has got to be music's greatest gift post 2010's.

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.

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!

Wilkes on the bass is probably my religion by now

Look everyone here is top of the game, but her vocal control is bonkers. Mad. Love it all. Keep it up Cole.

Dave Binney is the man!

The definition of human beuaty is people like this coming together to create something like this.

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 !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎤🎤🎤🎤🫡🫡🫡

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

These are damned masterpieces. I have only found knower in the last year and I have been going back through a decade of brilliance. Some of my favourite music. Fucking bravo all around.

They are unique

Im feeling that feeling that I feel when I get to experience a special album of music. It has been years, I was starting to think it wouldn't happen again. Thank you for Knower Forever

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.

He's a brilliant producer.....in additional to everything else he's brilliant at. It's so satisfying to see the next generation of young instrumentalists inspired like these folks.

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.

This song is a masterpiece. Somehow, it has overtaken all my other Knower favourites and grabbed the top spot, watched it 10 times already, absolutely incredible, i think this one is etched into my soul now.

The string section brought me to tears. Bravo, guys.

I almost cried multiple times. Love you all so much!!

Ok I've listened to this a dozen times now and it's amazing. The whole album is great from beginning to end, and I especially like "Do hot girls like chords" but this is probably the very best song on the album. I love how it switches styles as it progresses. I thought they were about to do some We are the World type shit for a minute, then they went 90s R&B, then they went Earth Wind and Fire, and then they went Steely Dan at the end. Speaking of Steely Dan, these lyrics, it's almost like their own Deacon Blues. It sounds autobiographical about the frustration of trying to express yourself with your music and being misunderstood and ignored, so you decide to just mash your foot on the gas and "die behind the wheel," metaphorically speaking. Wow, I wasn't expecting a cry-fest. Brilliant song, not only the best KNOWER song I've heard, but perhaps one of the best songs I've ever heard. Bravo!

Just wanted to say I appreciated your comment and I agree, particularly on the parallel musically and conceptually with Dan / Deacon Blues.

Maybe "what Deacon Blues would have been if its protagonist was sincere rather than just fantasizing/expressing frustration caused by his middle-age crisis", at least the way I understand Dan there. In a way it is both a reference/nod and a strong contrast. In any case, if your music is compared to Steely Dan, I'd say you're doing quite well as a musician/band 🙂And there's a lot to compare, the arcane writing, flawless performance by great musicians and the overall attention to detail. And I'm by no means a Knower fan - this is just a very good song in so many ways.

@@kfoltman I don't think the protagonist in Deacon Blues is insincere. And I'm not sure if it's clear they're fantasizing, or really living that life... but I could be mistaken. I feel like Crash the Car is more optimistic, while Deacon Blues is more resigned to fail. Crash the Car, seems to have accepted the likelihood of failure, but is committed to at least going out with a bang. When I hear "crash the car through the stars" I'm imagining figuratively crashing the car through popstars, not outer space... But both songs mention car crashes and address death and music. I dunno, perhaps I'm making connections where they don't exist.

​@@Cedric_Harris No, I think your reading makes a lot of sense. Both the optimistic aspect (sort of like "live forever or die trying") and "stars" referring to pop stars or perhaps breaking out to the mainstream, by putting in the maximum effort. Actual result (however you interpret it) rather than just Deacon's pointless "dying behind the wheel" (supposedly in figurative sense, dying poor but at least feeling in control). But for me, the Deacon Blues guy seems to see the musician's life primarily for the bohemian lifestyle, as if he thought he'd one day just quit his job and start playing sax straight from his heart, without spending a thought on the fact that it is a skill that takes years to learn, and there may be some clues he hasn't even started while still being in position to do it. He may well be sincere in a way and hating his middle-class life, but perhaps too native about what it is like to be a full-time musician. Of course, it's lyrics interpretation, never an exact science 🙂
