    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

      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.

      ​@@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

    I love this song so much. It perfectly encapsulates the beauty of willful self-annihilation. Doing something new or unpredictable is risky, but it's all worth it in that moment where you're cruising at speeds man was never meant to go, pressing the limits of expression and feeling, and as you finally spin out, end over end, you feel you're flying. This is the song that astronauts and racecar drivers and test pilots hear the moment before they lose control.

    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!

    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.

    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!

Incredible performance by all musicians involved.

    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!
