LYRICS:
Won’t see it when you’re looking at me, I’m stuck in the life between my dreams
Black curtains springing little leaks of sun, I feel the nothing I’ve become
The question I’m asking, please don’t be answering, Is this where I’m supposed to be
I’ll let it be the best I can, It doesn’t mean I understand
nah nah nah… Let it happen
nah nah nah… Let it happen
This sleeping pill was never enough, now on my flight I’ve woken up
Above the clouds and beneath the sea, that’s where I hit reality
I’ll give into infinity, I’ll let it be memory, if this is how it’s supposed to be
I’ll let it be the best I can, it doesn’t mean I understand
nah nah nah… Let it happen
nah nah nah… Let it happen
nah nah nah… Let it happen
nah nah nah… Let it happen
Everything will be, Let it happen
Let it, let it happen
(repeat)

[@ekn4514]

Hello. I know it's extremely unlikely Louis Cole himself could read this, but nonetheless... I truly felt like I'd end my life today. I failed. Listening to this song again, it's comforting me in a very dark moment and I almost feel like I can go on. You're one of my favorite musicians of all-time. I don't know how or why -- your music just resonates with me unlike any other. I am going to try to see you in concert before anything happens to me. Even if you never read this, I'm forever grateful for you and your music. Thank you so much, Louis Cole.

I let my anxiety stop from me doing anything with my life. Now I'm a 30 year old custodian, and there's no shame in it, but sometimes I get really down on myself for not pursuing any of my passions. This song cut me right down to the core. Thank you Louis, for making me feel a little less alone.

[@gido9467]

I have done, and continue to do the same thing to myself. Was even feeling anxious tonight, listened to this for the first time, and it helped take the edge off.

[@drig509]

You’re never alone my friend.

[@gr6e]

I'm a 29 year old custodian and honestly I took this job because I just kinda wanted to not have to think at work for a while. It's okay to work a job that's just kinda doing stuff, you know? I save my passions for after I clock out. Trying to do something you like as a career is a great way to start hating those things.

[@LadyTanukiTime]

I work the graveyard alone in a building to have peace. I am totally hidden and isolated and i just cried my little broken heart out. ♡ but this song paused my pain.

[@Mike-ge7pe]

I’ve been there man. Something to remember… life is a journey, not a destination. Don’t get too down on yourself. Try to do things that allow you to be true to yourself and feel good about who you are as a person, not as a worker or as a pursuer of ambition. Don’t judge yourself by what you’ve achieved, but how you treat people, and don’t let anyone else tell you it’s not good enough. As long as it’s good enough for you, it’ll be good enough for the people in your life who actually matter

[@loklan1]

The zoom effect is a great visual metaphor for what it feels like to be in a crowded city. There's just so much detail, every lit window and person you pass on the street is a whole universe that you see only from a tremendous distance, layered over hundreds or thousands of years of history and habitation. I find it overwhelming sometimes, guess I've just gotta let it happen.

[@SparkyKev]

The entire last half of the song is one of the most genius, brilliant chord progressions with seamless key changes I have ever heard. Holy crap.

[@austinwilson3602]

Im not a huge theory guy or anything, but i love how the key change is like a part of the riff. It doesnt seem so weird because its continuous and so it also feels like its constantly progressing

[@harrisonia]

Yes! Well stated!

[@yuiopa]

If anyone figures out the chords for this song please share! I would love to know this one.

[@Lugodu87]

@@yuiopa Okay so here are the chords from what i could hear. First things first this song is not in standard tuning, I could get pretty close to it by tuning to A = 426 Hz. First part is in D Major goes like this : |: Em9 | Gmaj9 | A13 | F#m9 Bm9 :| Transition part at 2:57 : | Em9 | % | A13 | % | | F#m7/A | F#7#5/A# | Gbmaj7/Bb | Ab/C | Final part : | Dmaj7 Bm7 | Gmaj7 C/E | Dmaj7/F# F#7b9 | A#°7 Bm | E7sus4 E7 | A7sus4 A7 A7sus4(b9) A7(b9) | | Dmaj7 Bm7 | Gmaj7 C/E | Dmaj7/F# F#7b9 | A#°7 Bm | E7sus4 E7 | Bb7sus4 Bb7 Bb7sus4(b9) Bb7 (b9) | Then you repeat the same thing again but 1 semitone up, only difference is that you will have a minor chord instead of the C/E chord for some reason, for example in Eb : | Ebmaj7 Cm7 | Abmaj7 Fm7 | ....... Hope that helps !

[@yuiopa]

@@Lugodu87 Wow thanks! I'll give it a go.

On the one hand, it’s criminal that LC doesn’t enjoy the status of a world class musician millionaire like Beyoncé or Drake or someone.

@@brileystewart Everything is a remix

Ohh that's where I got the christmas vibes from. It's this particular chord progression, and the stacked vocals ala Beach Boys

[@brileystewart]

Yeah man, loads of artists do this. You’d be surprised how many songs are just “rip offs” of other tunes. Thousands of songs have the same chord progression, some of them not on purpose. I think Louis wears his inspirations on his sleeve though and I really respect it. I’d love to sound anything similar to what inspires me.

[@ChrisSmout]

This dropped a few days before my Dad passed away and a few days after I would see him for the last time. It helped get through it all but I can't help but tear up hearing this. Great track, excellent crescendo; Louis is a class act and I only wish I could have introduced my dad to him.

[@pedrogaspar10]

This is insane. I discovered Louis Cole about a month ago while staying in Noord Amsterdam. I listened to his albums every day while walking around and I'm just now watching this video and figuring out that parts of it were recorded exactly where I was walking through. The shots near Kebec Corner and in Buikslotermeerplein - my mind is blown, what are the odds?

[@winterlogical]

You know, despite Louis Cole's eccentric persona in his presentations and some of his silly antics in songs he makes with KNOWER... His music and the lyrics therein sometimes reflect such raw and deep emotions, as well as intense existential musings. I think of his song Night as well. Who am I? Am I doing what I'm supposed to? Is there purpose to my life? Why do I feel emptiness in me? Do I even care about any of that to begin with? etc. It's a beautiful thing to see an artist genuinely write and sing about these things, especially in an era where few mainstream artists write with such depth. Those topics are becoming less and less important to the average person (in my humble opinion); things like purpose are so diluted in our modern era of comfort and technology. In the Western world, we're in the top 1/10th of 1 percent of the wealthiest people that have ever lived. Just makes you think, are some not wrestling with these questions anymore because we've gotten _too_ comfortable? Even if lyrics aren't the main point of Louis Cole (his music is insane), it's just something I wanted to observe and appreciate about you, Louis. Thank you for being genuine and expressing yourself.

[@nilssonschmillson5395]

100%!! This is what takes Louis Cole’s music several hundred notches above other similar “musical” artists (Snarky, Vulf, Jacob Collier etc) is the heart and emotional value in the lyrics. Not many artists wear their emotions so openly, especially in this particular scene. Really takes makes me think of amazing songwriters, not just “arrangers”. There’s also the fact that Louis stays within the boundaries of taste and doesn’t needlessly jazz his music up, there’s a concept and a range of ideas he stays within harmonically and compositionally within a song and yeah, the dude has great taste.

All three of those artists also have good, "more serious emotional" songs. I don't think Louis would really fuck with you fanboy gatekeeping either, considering he's buddies with and has played with all of those artists. Just like what you like.

Yes!!

the first half speaks to my very soul - achingly wonderful... the humour and humanity in his videos.....

When the world needed him most.. 🥹🙏🏼 Thank you Louis!!!

[@SashaKaiser11]

Sensational and deeply moving.

[@SamOwenI]

One of my favourite elements of this song are where the backing vocal merges with the saxophone so much that you can't tell which you are hearing. And I love the little details of the different sounds in each ear. It's a real feast of sound, and you notice new little details each listen.

[@goodshipzion]

Bro, that's not a saxophone; it's his voice.

[@cmtcfu]

@@goodshipzion - correct which then merge to strings. it's a very psychedelic part.

What a beautiful moment to be alive. This is a beautiful song. As Thundercat said "I Love Louis Cole"

The uplifting part of this song starts 4:45. The part with the violin is inspiration from higher level of the consciousness. I almost start crying 😭. God bless you all. 🙏❤️

Just heard this today, my brother-in-law took his life on Friday, it was a long battle with depression but we thought he was doing better, some of these lyrics really resonate. Thank you for another masterpiece Louis.

I'm so sorry 😟 sending you and your family much love and strength ❤️

Such a helpful song for me, I’m in the middle of this period when none of my friends/band are reaching out at all, but if I have to take my music in a different direction, that’s okay. I’ll just let it happen…

[@mitya_music]

you sir definitely know how to create some magic. that was mesmerising 💜

[@arturobandini4078]

Some how the song sounds old and refreshingly new at the same time, very clever.

Heaven and Space all in one place. Reminds me of some trip hop artists and the Cocteau twins.

[@Will140f]

Greatest idea of a music video I’ve ever seen. Also I cried so hard the first like 5 times I ever watched this. Louis Cole is a mastermind, a renaissance man (without the syphilis), a true musical idiosyncrasy in the world today, and free therapy all in one tall white package.

[@eddo00]

This mans come a long way from sitting in front of that closet completely changing what I knew drumming could be. Nice to watch your progress from afar!
