Lyrics:
"It Knows Me"
I seek the water
I seek the trees
I seek the heavens
I'm brought down to my knees
Yeah, I know anger
I know peace
Yeah, I know darkness
Mmm, and it knows me
And it knows me
And it knows me
I've felt the fire
I've held the sword
I've fought desire
Mmm, but I lost that war
Crying out in shame
Oh, for goodness sake
I tried to disagree
Oh, but it knows me
And it knows me
And it knows me
Rest my soul, grace set me free
I know my sins and they know me
And it knows me
And it knows me
Rest my soul, grace set me free
I know my sins and they know me
#AviKaplan #StayHome #WithMe

Am I the only one that likes to put headphones in at night and just close my eyes and lay there and just listen to Avi’s beautiful music? I can’t be the only one.

[@richtsje9961]

I was lstening from 1.30 to 2.30 am , couldn't sleep so was listening from 3.15 to 4.00 am again ( on another channel of him ) . 7.30 and 11.15 am on this channel... Is this what you mean or is this a sign of addiction :))

[@jlynn_rose_2262]

Richtsje De Goede I have done that many of times too.

[@jlynn_rose_2262]

iseron86 thank you for reassuring me.

[@thomaswall1079]

I do that aswell

[@samanthawalker4171]

I fully admit I'm totally addicted to AVI'S MUSIC, well just Avi himself too. 😆🤗😘

[@xarexare2]

May God continue to bless you Avi Kaplan. Sing until words fail and search on for those unknown lyrics. Sing, and I’ll listen.

[@mariawilliams4941]

🙏

[@rosedoodles1853]

His voice is hauntingly gorgeous

[@mariawilliams4941]

It really is 💜

[@michelleblkft3831]

It’s like a prayer... sometimes words alone fall short. This took me back to sitting in the little chapel, holding the sacred hymnals my momma played the piano for and my papa lead the music. It’s a safe place, much needed in this world today. I miss feeling that childlike faith/hope. Thank you for bringing me back.

[@DarukaEon]

Reading this brings a smile to my face.

[@michelleblkft3831]

Your message did the same for me, thank you. ☺️

[@mariawilliams4941]

What a great memory 💜

[@michellecole6325]

Loved the original, but I confess, I like this one better.

[@stephenlocke7891]

The slightly slower speed really suits the song, and it’s closer to some of his ‘Quarter Past Four’ and ‘Sage and Stone’ stuff. It’s really nice to drive along to

[@amandapatch7496]

I agree wholeheartedly

[@jay-leebusque-blackburn6747]

I concur with everything that has been said on this thread 🤗

[@pieman595]

Oh I 100% agree! there is just something about this version that just hits you in the right spot

[@lexxboyer6016]

Somehow he seems to tell a story within the story of the song with the way he sings. His voice is amazing. I've recently been struggling and buckling under the weight of stress and his songs have made it easier. Thanks Avi 😊 Keep up with the amazing music

[@MelissaWallick]

Underrated artist right here 👏👏👏

[@mariawilliams4941]

Totally agree

[@jeantonelle]

Avi, the emotion you put into every song you create touches deep down into the soul. I love this song, both versions. I love everything you've done. I am such a huge fan of your soul. Your voice, your energy and every note. Thank you for the amazing music you have given the world. This is just stunning and I already loved this song, the profound words, things we have all felt. Thank you and bless you.

[@douglascamus8207]

My favorite version.

[@megapowgaming9117]

My dude covered his own song. And nailed it.

[@samanthawalker4171]

Who can PERFECT PERFECTIONISM? AVI KAPLAN CAN! He literally took GOLD and changed it into DIAMONDS. ONLY AVI can do this . WELL DONE AVI, AND FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THANKYOU! 👏👍🤗😘❤😇

[@keithmoncaster1905]

Yes a longer version to this great song....just perfect....TCB

[@wibblewobble489]

I didn't think this song could get any better but here we are. There you go topping yourself again Avi. Love it. The slower version seems so much more reflective and retrospective and magical. I love both but this one adds another layer of magic to the already deep, poignant and relatabel lyrics. I can't wait to see you live some day.

[@blan0539]

just a man and his guitar bringing me 100% happiness 😊♥️

[@simplyfantastic58]

This one feels more spiritual than the original. I love it.

[@PastelBat]

This simultaneously has the same vibes as "Dust in the Wind" and "Hurt" and I really love this

[@kerithwooldridge]

[@gerhardthoffmann]

...keep on Mr Kaplan, it`s a very good music. I think people want to hear Your sound!...

[@GunGuy258]

Smash like 15 seconds in. NEVER sellout!!!

[@rais14]

i just closed my eyes, laid down on my back, and listened to this as thunder rumbled in the distance. what an experience

[@JessicaWilson82]

I love this stripped back version. It's amazing how differently a song can hit with just a bit of modification. Bless you Avi. Your voice is a balm to this weary soul.

[@matthewsailors3153]

I read where a blogger stated that when Avi released his latest EP, he wasn't intending on making a Gospel album, but that's exactly what he did. I couldn't agree more... this song especially is profoundly spiritual. When I first heard it, it brought back so many memories of my life as an addict before I found "grace" that truly "set me free." I thank Jesus for the peace, and I thank Avi for this beautiful reminder. Best wishes to you!

[@ohadm6038]

This is the kind of song that absolutely swallows you whole

[@joelrobles9092]

You are loved Avi. Thank you for using that powerful gift God blessed you with.

[@uNkLeRaRa4]

I'm hiking in nature mentally when I'm listening to this 🌲🌲🌲

[@amandakay6330]

This might be the first time I've loved two very different versions of a song equally. ❤❤❤

[@vbella39]

Amanda Kay absolutely agree. But this one made me instantly cry, while the first took the brevity off and had me dancing to the whistle. Even so, love them both equally. 🤗💚🔆🌲

[@johnnydunn2400]

Your music just simply touches the souls of thousands of people, warming them all. We love you Avi, please don't change

[@melaniebrainerd3255]

I love both versions!! This one is like a warm blanket while the other is more of a rock song. I’ll take both. They both represent your coming to a joyful peaceful place, it seems to me. Gorgeous vocals and harmonies!

[@GunGuy258]

The FREEDOM you express since leaving Pentatonix is absolutely beautiful.

[@cameronmaas8447]

Peace in this song. So much peace

[@darrykapkan]

Both are beautiful but I like this one more. My 6month old baby calms down when hears this song🤷🏼‍♀️ because I guess it works on some deepest levels of human nature. Thank you. Hope one day you will come to Russia❤️

[@samanthawalker4171]

WOW ! Only you Avi can PERFECT an ALREADY PERFECT song! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the deep low base hum all the way through the song and especially at the end. I LOVE BOTH versions of the song, but I LOVE this 1 MORE! THANKYOU for making this for everyone. I REALLY REALLY REALLY would love to hug you for this. WELL DONE YOU! 👏👏🤗🤗😘😘💋 I've listened to this 4 times now, and seriously, that low base hum just hugs my soul. It's my favourite part of the entire song. How it kicks in the 1st chorus and to end the song that way is GENIUS!

[@MimiJoys]

Thank You again Avi! How did we ever survive without you? God has sent you for such a time as this to help us get through these uncertain days! I thank God and you!

[@mariawilliams4941]

Amen 🙏

[@doloressanchezperez5448]

Although your voice and your register are always prodigious, the most beautiful thing is your ability to move with it. Thanks for that. 

[@cicciacicciaaa9651]

I just can't choose between the two versions. All I know is that I'd be listening to them both for hours and hours. In fact it is exactly what I do and what I will do.💚

[@legoosetheythem2760]

I’ve been anxious and depressed for the past few months and I think this just made it all fade away

[@marybrown6128]

Hugs. It will all get better. ♥

[@vbella39]

Lucy Ely it’s pronounced Eli 🤗💚🔆🌲 It Turns Out Fine

[@daramorikawa5651]

Sending you blessings and encouragement sweetie. Blessed Be

[@ngosamusic3192]

I love you Avi! Your music helps me get by.

[@СергійШишкін-е6ж]

Peace be with you brother! Shalom! God gave you great power, your voice that penetrates into the hearts of people and makes them better. Make the world a better place!

[@cameronvandeusen7871]

I expect his new catalog of songs to start being featured in movie trailers and soundtracks of Oscar-caliber movies. They just have this feel-good calmness to them. Loving this stuff Avi

[@sylwesterjski4571]

Spokój i moc, wyrazisty bas głosu. Lubię. Zwyczajnie dobra pieśń. Kupię longplaya.

[@sogolagemo4204]

I got lost amongst the water and trees ... where I found this song ... and guess what ... it knows me! Thanks Avi ... truly madly deeply!

[@christifarris3334]

I love this version too! It's more soulful and thought provoking. It's peaceful in, and of, itself. You are amazing. You touch the lives of so many people, but your heart is so humble and kind. There aren't many like you in this world, but the world would be a better place if there were. Much love. 💚💚💚

[@ewawo7360]

Pozdrawiam z Polski. 👍 🤗🤗👏👏🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱🙋🙋💋

[@sophia4915]

Avi is magic. Pure magic.

[@darlenesfiddlin]

Oh so lovely...I'm just sinking into the sound...

[@laurentelesca3921]

You sing directly to my soul.

[@emalba7020]

This song really speaks to me...thank you!

[@CassieSparks85]

I love both versions! Each one works for a different type of "music mood"

[@MegaKnutten]

heavenly voice

[@minamishi]

This song is the anthem to my life

[@misty9113]

I fully appreciate that these two versions follow each other in the line up. The original is very present in feel while the alt version feels more like grateful reflection of a past event. It's amazing what tempo can convey. Your music tends to hit both the emotional and analytical sides of my brain. Very intriguing.

[@cutepandaplayz8055]

I remember in 2018 when Pentatonix announced that Avi was leaving I was so upset but I'm happy for Avi and his own sining career. Love you Avi

[@RiverOwl427]

in April 1st 2017

[@hairartist1424]

Piękne. 🎧🎤❤. Uwielbiam ten glos , jak Aksamit. Mam nadzieje ze uslysze Cie kiedys w Polsce 🇵🇱 na Koncercie. Pozdrawiam i dziekuje ze moge Cie słuchać . ❤❤❤❤🎧🎵🎶🧘‍♀️

[@simplyfantastic58]

Second time around and I'm crying. Bless you Avi. ❤

[@NYtoNC]

I just cry...

[@cemirachour827]

Une musique qui touche bien plus que le cœur... Elle frôle l'âme. Merci

[@bradchampion2278]

Wonderful! Thanks Avi.

[@bindingtheairthief5292]

Avi hits the expectation every time

[@lerysalcher]

I love both versions

[@Pasha-Li]

.... Just stunningly beautiful....👌👌😍😍🌺🌹❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜

[@Anecdotal1]

Wow! This is great... thanks for your vision and your talents!

[@deborahhardin4383]

Love this alternate slower version; pure, reflective, honest. You sound at peace with yourself more than ever. Beautiful ~ well done 👏👏👏

[@nataliecline4635]

This version is so good. I like it just as much as the album version. Funny how the same song can bring out such different emotions based on the tempo.

[@vbella39]

Natalie Cline if that ain’t the truth! I love the first one too, has a mix of soul searching truth right up to making me get up and dance. And faith. This one made me instantly cry, knowing what was coming, but so beautiful, soulful, peaceful and again faith. Either way this song hits you with both barrels! 🤗💚🔆🌲

[@luca9473]

Grande Avi bella canzone

[@raquelmos]

Just when you think that nothing can surpass one of your fav songs.. Avi does this!!! Woww!!

[@thehutch1674]

While the other one is more upbeat, this version is more relaxing and just engulfs you... phenomenal

[@davidbarber9657]

My god I have no words

[@auliasutejo]

it sounds like a calming chant... very peaceful, love it

[@parkouristlife4296]

Wow that chorus is glorious😮

[@awkwardteenlee2079]

in all ways, it’s perfect 💗🥺

[@SmallBlogV8]

So warm and gentle, just what I'll need to hear the next time I'm dealing with the darkness that knows me too.

[@magdalenanosel6444]

Bellissima

[@jaxx2507]

This is the most gorgeous song I have ever heard in my life. Avi, you sing with such passion and emotion that you have the ability to give me goosebumps. That's how beautiful this song is. The notes are impeccable. I loved the original but I am absolutely awestruck by this version 💕

[@chrislavigne9031]

This song is truly beautiful.

[@fluidstatic5564]

I've listened to this five times in a row and wept at a new line each time. I thought I knew this song, but I was wrong. Thank you so much, Avi.

[@annaapax80]

When you think a song cant get better, and then you hear this! Absolutely in love with this version💕

[@Leonardorth.]

Truly music for the soul 😌

[@xiongpaolee]

This version is better, more solemn and earthy, matches the lyrics.

[@ohadm6038]

I agree, only refrain is that the whistling works better with the upbeat tone of the original version

[@shwn4471]

From dbum dbum dbum to this masterpiece Absolutely magnificent

[@matthewcorgiat8817]

thank you, Avi

[@suebooa4783]

Wow. Absolutely love this version! Thank you Avi.

[@angelagarciacastro2523]

Maravillosa como todas sus canciones!!

[@Lookinforrealmusic]

I've been waiting hopefully for solo music since I heard his original music in the Spaulding sessions. These acoustic versions are worth the long wait. Beautiful.

[@rodicapopovici6030]

This is the moment when the music talk to my soul...

[@raaygonzalez9042]

I love your voice! I love you!! Come to Brazil!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@samanthaschmidt3628]

I love Avi's style of music so much. Its just so beautifully calming and ethereal. Makes me feel at peace.

[@rocklesson86]

I like this version.

[@corinnaschultz9359]

ICKE DANKE für die Blumen 🤩😍😘🤗😘😅😘🤣😂😘

[@rubydragon1929]

🥰Avi's voice is so soothing. I can't stop listening to this version, the end humming brings so much peace. It is much needed in these uncertain times. Thank you Avi, you are a true blessing.🥰

[@valariebrowning2811]

This version hit my heart even more than the original did and that says so much. Instant tears in a beautiful way!

[@adriennejames9120]

The original was amazing and this version is even better! Avi, your voice touches my very soul and lifts me up to a higher place. Keep doing you, love.

[@luckynumbersevenmusic6144]

This man's voice 🙏🏿 ♥️

[@lauramouse6232]

Your voice is so incredible. Words could never do it justice

[@maaikebrunekreeft3227]

[@kdkent5415]

Thank you...

[@awkwardteenlee2079]

PERFECT

[@joyporter4294]

Just awesome, have always found such meaning in the words and now this rendition is just haunting. Love both of them!!!

[@Елена-ы1т3е]

Очень красиво, песня и голос, спасибо, Ави!
