    Lyrics
    I feel so possessive darling
    Keep my toes close to you
    With pointed finger I still
    Count myself in sets of two
    We’ll be so progressive darling
    Solar cell on our roof
    We’ll renew our vows each morning
    Hyperloop our kids to school
    I can be malignant darling
    When the truth is plain to see
    I thought you for hours this week
    I’m your best shot presently
    I say hands up
    I say hands down
    When I look inside me baby
    You’re throwing me all around
    I see flash bulbs
    I see LEDs
    No matter where I look man
    You’re the brightest light in front of me
    I seem so pathetic darling
    Check my phone constantly
    Texts loop like a mantra through me
    Buzzing blasts of dopamine
    I say hands up
    I say hands down
    When I look inside me baby
    You’re throwing me all around
    I see flash bulbs
    I see LEDs
    No matter where I look man
    You’re the brightest light in front of me
    We can see the sea change darling
    When we touch wirelessly
    With our sweaty clothes and eyebrows
    We’ll remember how it feels to feel everything
    Please don’t go, la la la...

    Discovered you guys two days ago. Can't listen to anything else since. Brilliant music! Smart, interesting, full of emotions. But i think the best way to describe it is, music you cannot overlook. Just keep creating, we all benefit from it.

    Why almost all Bent Knee songs are better live ?

    • @serpentswyrls
      @serpentswyrls 7 років тому +10

      It's hard to pinpoint the exact cause, but I guess you're right. The recordings feel a bit overproduced/polished, and INSANELY overcompressed (although the latter is just the final stage - for me, it is the most destructive for the listening experience, but at the same time it's nothing like a definitive quality of the performance). The live performances, as much as I've watched them so far, are pure magick. In fact, such uncanny skills do NOT need any extra polish.

      You can ask the same question about Metallica, King Crimson and probably many other bands/artists,,

    Hey is there anywhere I could find sheet music for this song or something? This would be a really fun song to learn but I haven't yet developed the skill to learn it by ear :(

    So very brilliant! I really urge to see you, next time you come to Hamburg, Germany. Found you too late on here, to be at the "Uebel und Gefearhrlich" , this time.
    The extro of your song reminded me of a song by "Poets of the fall". "Don't walk away, dont walk away! When the world is burning! Don't walk away! Don't walk away! When my heart is yearning!"
    In a reaction from a vocal coach, lovely Beth, 'cause this version is not available on youtube. But I guess you will get my point. A materpiece: ua-cam.com/video/uZifi5UbBGY/v-deo.html
    Can't wait to watch you all live, here in Hamburg:
    until then!
    I will share your music with everyone around me, to make it happen. Be sure of that.
    Greetings from the far north of Germany!
