Lyrics:
no not the end that I fear, its the not sure I am here
babel library I swear, my name isn’t there
I’ll airstrike my food if its cold, new things already tasting old
dropping nukes to clean room my room, see what I am doing?
yeah side by side, your disguise is the real look in my eyes
and my dreams are your trips, holy shit
be here, be lost
go through, a lot
pass on, forgot
yeah life, so hot
just level ground is a climb, freaking out and feeling fine
feeling bliss, feeling dread, reminds me I’m not dead
Your flooding flash is my bath, fucking wet as neptune’s ass
Black holes are used to clean my room, don’t like using brooms
the truest truths will live on, Ill still be here when Im gone
In our dreams, in our trips, holy shit
be here, be lost
go through, a lot
pass on, forgot
yeah life, so hot

Sam Wilkes is pound for pound one of the best bassists on the planet.
What does pound for pound mean in this context?
@@koosp.2270 it means his grooves are heavy
Louis knows that he has one of the best bassists in the world on his side, so he keeps writing the most insane bass lines that make Sam squirm in agony and perform at the highest level 😂
Yeah. He's really really really good. My ears are made whole by his funk.
Not only is he locked in on everything he plays, but watching him work is like an entire show within itself. Pure magic.
You don't find much orchestral dance music jazz with surreal lyrics these days. Engaging and mind-blowing with just superb musicianship.
if it takes you 6 words (minimum 4) to describe the thing then obviously you won't find much of it.
The "orchestral" part takes resources, but in general there are insane numbers of musicians putting out music in hundreds or thousands of genres, Shirley more than at any other time in human history. Someone recommended "Year of the Newt" by the musician Bobbing to me because I like Max Tundra, and trying to find out more about him I came across the "indietronica" sub-genre on RateYourMusic that lists 12,000 releases by hundreds of artists I'd never heard of. There are more kinds of metal than there are brands of guitar amp. Sturgeon's Law "90% of everything is crap" applies, but that leaves hundreds of thousands of tracks every year that are pretty good.
not sure you'll find much of this in any time period
Amen
@@TehVulpezProbably some of Zappa stuff, and that's pretty much it as far as I know.
This is the best anxiety I’ve ever felt
This comment is yet more proof that sometimes the most profound sentences can come from the most random places.
Isn't good anxiety just excitement? But tbh i get it
@@ur1c3hu33 No I've fully spaghetti'd all over my mom
This comment touched my soul.
I literally cannot say anything more accurate.
"Disgraceful. Alright, let's move on".
Normal day at work. Just the conductor shitting on an excellent performance. Let's move on.
The British psyche summed up
@@liamness very dry humor, like Bond's martini.
As a former symphonic instrumentalist, this had me laughing so hard I started crying.

You're wasting your ears if you're not listening to music made by Louis Cole.
Totally true.
The whole crew to be fair.
LOLL honestly the truth

ルイス・コール、相変わらず、作曲センスが超絶技巧過ぎてもはや変態で、凄いっすねwww
ラジオでこの曲流れてて、一発でルイス・コールだとわかって、一発で一聞き惚れしちゃったwww
ありがとうルイス・コール！！！！素晴らしい！！！！！
I am jealous that you live somewhere this is played on the radio! Amazing!
The most exciting thing going on in music for the last several years
I so agree! Not quite jaded senior jazz musician has been in a quandary for years where to direct his energies. I don't want to pretend I have something "new and relevant" nor do I want to wallow in the old "groovy, hip" sensibilities" of the past. This music genuinely excites me and points to a refreshing renaissance of all the elements that make great music accessible and elevating and engaging.
ud like Domi & jd Beck as well
@@omfgacceptmyname I do!
I like big brass and I can not lie.
My mind is blown. This one track changed my whole day for the better. The pocket is like a black hole of groove!
Look at all the Genevieves!!!!!
It's not even 7 AM and this just dropped 57 minutes ago. It's been on repeat. Today's gonna slap. Thanks, Louis and the gang.
Hell yah! The crack a dawn crew! 🤙🏼
The fusion of orchestra and jazz/funk/pop is inspired. I bet the orchestra enjoyed playing this. Really great orchestra break with some excellent harmonies. This is music for the 21st century. Thank you Louis Cole for your artistry. ❤
Zappa would like this element. Great!
I was thinking the same thing.
@@richardgrier8968 The complex structures of Cole's songs often remind me of the genius of Frank Zappa.
@@FFkingBassMusic Me too.
I can't get Zappa's massive assholery out of my head when I listen to his music. Yeah, I get it, you are the smartest motherfucker to ever step on a stage but what is the point if all of it is coated in nihilism?
I agree! Great stuff! Definitely in the same world as Zappa, especially some of his later lesser known work.
Jacob is always so chill no matter how ridiculous the piece is 😂😂😂
Should really know by now but once again, I am completely floored by how locked in Louis Cole and Sam Wilkes are
2:35
There’s all this bullshit going on in the world right now and Louis Cole keeps pumping out the dope jams. Makes life a lot better.
god this guy just doesn't fucking miss
I want a universe where Louis writes a song called ‘Sam Wilkes is my Spirit Animal,’ imagine the funk!!
It would pair nicely with Thundercat's "I Love Louis Cole"
@@lewiji it certainly would
Sam's neck has got to be made of heavy springs and iron. His head is constantly smashin out his notes. Great work everyone !
A living bobblehead ...
This is the most exciting music you can listen nowadays.
Luckily not….
I like big brass and I can not lie
Nominated for best comment of the day.
Donkey shit
This has to be the funkiest orchestra performance ever. What a time to be alive.
Who needs coffee when you got this banger getting your heart rate up
Like, not even kidding 😂🎉
Me 😂
I'm glad to be living in the same timeline as Louis Cole
Who else but louis would crash on the same cymbal he's riding on- on the same note?
boutta put my skelly jammies on and airstrike my food
ain’t no one else on this dude’s level
Louis Cole and Knower are fking GODS
This was an amazing song and performance! Kudos to these nasty musicians keeping REAL music alive amongst all the top-40 sewage in 2024.
Im REKT…….☠️☠️☠️
Louis Cole is one of the best drummers I've heard in a long time. He's got the perfect mix of groove and technicality. I love Sam Wilkes on bass too.
The flanging / phasing during the chorus!! It juxtaposes so hard with the orchestral backing ... squirming with delight.
Didn't even notice it explicitly before but you're right, it adds a lot!
Admit it; you watched this more than once. I know I did. How could you not? Masterpiece!
Nothing in the world makes me nod my head harder than the signature stabby funky synth chords in Louis Cole music
It's like you've taken One Winged Angel and turned it into a Ridge Racer song, it's incredible.
the break at 2:37 is so sick
1:58 this has to be one of coolest sudden style shifts ever made. Also the way it goes back to the "original" style is so smooth.
Tight drums, funky bassline, fat&loud brass section, angels voices, this is so perfect ❤ thanks 🙏
This song is a masterpiece.
True
louis really thought he could drop the grooviest song in the universe and thought we wouldn’t notice
This will be my favorite album when it comes out I guarantee it
absolutely!
Same here.
Sam wilkes on the motherflippin' bass baby!
the man is a monster
Just love how the orchestra musicians are everyday people brought in to LC's freaky musical world and are grooving to the beat wile at rest :)
That is metropole orkest not "everyday people"
@@julioestrada3111 Fo real. The MO rock!
Highly skilled, multiple Grammy award winning orchestra and musicians is probably why Louis decided to give the Metrople a call 😊
@@julioestrada3111 I was just gonna say. They could probably teach the band a thing or two.
This music is the best out there. Jazz is the winner
Louis Cole and his live performers must single-handedly sell out those skeleton print clothes wherever they are available
Fuck AI, this is what music is about
It sounds like ai to me. Apart from the winds in the metropool orkest.
このリズム♪テンポ♪
骨のスーツYEAH！
ルイスコールのドラム最高🎉
I was there!!! everyone expected more well known repertoire but the actual set blew our minds :)
This track is swifter than my sadness can run.
Hey. Look at me. Don't ever stop being so good. Any of you. I mean it.
This is in many ways complete music: rhythm, melody, feel, harmonies and improvisation. Perfect!
Strong Life era Knower(2016). Takes me back to that album, especially the synth in the chorus❤️🙌
yes!!
This resonates with my nervous system in Waze that various little music does, and it’s incredibly valuable to me for that reason. Rhythmic it does something to my neurotransmitters, my mental math that seems to create some alignment that doesn’t exist when I’m not listening to this music. Harmonically, it soothes me, but in a tremendously expensive way. Like I’m flying over the planet experiencing humanity Like life is some big neural network and we’re all connected to everything. And besides that, it just amuses me. There is a joyful sarcasm. A playful irreverence, and yeah, it just makes me feel good in a way that not much else does and I’m a pretty happy person for the most part. But this, this is extraordinarily special. Like really effing special.
you are us
we are you
we are one
with uncle lou
This new album is going to be EPIC!
Watching this and Clown Core back to back is nuts
On a scale of one to five, I give this a million stars
AMAZING!! Sooooo damn funky!!! The Sax solo.... that bass line.... The vocals.... THE STRINGS....THE DRUMS!!! Amazeballz.
drums too
@@blopa5893 GOOD CALL!!! Edited....
This deserves a Grammy
Why
@@markgeelen5207 that's a lot of comments for some music that didnt manage to reach you, dont you think mark ? If you dont see what's good and interesting about this, why would you spend your day whining over anyone that can ? Just listen to an album that makes you giddy instead of wasting your life away being *that* guy.
From a random 64yo jazz fan to some random bitter lil' man : you deserve better than what you're doing to yourself.
@@sirzebra so a random little bitter man (thanks 🤣) is not entitled to an opinion and this is because a 64 year old jazz fan has decided that?
Hahahaha. Let’s face it. We are both just as unimportant to the world. This kind of discussion stops the moment one of us is attempting make it personal. There is no need for that. An opinion is an opinion. No one owns the facts. And opinions are not getting more true if they go paired with dirt throwing.
I listen to all sorts of music as long as I feel there is an attempt made to connect to the audience. Especially on a live situation. Here they are clearly struggling with that.
It of course is technically complicated and the players have amazing technical skills, but that is not enough. What is missing is essential. Something the metropole orchestra managed to do with almost all artists they performed with. Steve Vai, Erykah Badu, Herbie Hancock, Junkie XL, and many others I witnessed.
But this collaboration is missing that spark. The arrangement is already full. Adding the orchestra adds very little. Maybe I should word it differently. The players are so busy with themselves and the technical performance of this very tight music that adding the orchestra is taking away from it. And not because they can’t add to it, but there isn’t enough space in the music to add this orchestra. A mismatch. That is what it feels like. Can’t help it. But now I have to dash. To go sit in a corner. Alone, feeling bitter and random 🤣🤣🤣
@@markgeelen5207 you're entitled to you opinion, and maybe even just entitled, eheh but it's ok, i called myself random too, but you took it personal, probably read too much like an insult where it was just a jest.
i'm fine with your taste, arguments, (or lack thereof, if they didnt even exist) i cant prove it to you if you can't possibly conceive it, but it's a fact. i dont need you to like or respect anything i like or respect, nor do i think it should be any other way.
All i suggested is that your (valid) opinion should make you move on to bigger and better things (to you)
The rest of your take is just based on what it felt to you watching this video : cole and his crew are a lot more fun and interactive live that you could ever imagine, but i can gather from that need to "defend" yourself from a simple comment that you'd be pretty much insensible to it, and that's fine, really.
Tbf : i think this concert / this video does seem and sound more "static" that the show i saw last year, so you're probably thinking everything all of it has to be how you saw it once here, we're also sadly "entitled" to our biases as unimportant humans.
Consider the perspective of someone that saw it live in a (very) good setting : it's really not, but you'll have to take my word on that. It's not so serious, it's virtuosic but still very fun, it got me feeling the same wonderfull impression i got watching Hiromi shred her piano with a huge smile on her face with a chamber orchestra : you could argue, even for her, that the arrangement didnt need the extra notes, but it adds fun, variety, and power.
That's my opinion, it doesnt mean you can't keep spending hours trolling around these boards if you must, i wont "deny" you the right to waste your time.
Again : my whole message point was this : go and enjoy something that's inspiring to you, instead of bathing in negativity, so i'll say it again : go and enjoy something that's inspiring to you, instead of bathing in negativity.
I beleive my point was made, thrice, if you feel insulted by me wishing you a better moment : it's ok to me !
Dont (try) to bring me down either, by acting victimized by my remarks, i was polite and wished for you to find pleasure and happiness the first time, it didnt change now, and it wont then, why you're reacting like you are is for you to sort out, or maybe caused by my broken english (fourth language, i'm trying) , or maybe because you're actually bitter, at least on the subject of this music here, and that's on you bb, i can see it and point it out if i want, otherwise you shouldnt spam public comments for all to see, if you dont want anyone reacting to them, and how they portray your mood.
I wont spend a day "arguing" over thin air, i'm fine with wishing you a good day, meaning it, and moving on.
@@sirzebra There we go again. I said there is no need to make it personal. First sentence in your reply is exactly that again. It is what children do when they are in an argument and run out of intelligent things to say. It’s clear I am wasting my time talking to you. Because you say you want good for me but if you look closely and really read what you say you act in the opposite way. That is a tell tell sign of a toxic person. Just leave people alone if you don’t like their opinion. I am outta here! Good luck!
Man, I wonder if Louis Cole ever considered scoring a movie. I love the Bernard Hermann soundscape in his orchestral arrangements.
Also, I REALLY hope we get a proper track release of "High Five". I've only heard it in the live performance and would love a studio version. Looking forward to the new album!
pretty insane performance
Starts off with a very Short Ride in a Fast Machine vibe, and I love it!
That's incredible on so many levels, the drive, the energy, the composition, the lyrics, the speed, the skeletons, the talent, the performance, the solo (wow!).... and totally all round cool !!
YOO IS THIS AN INTERPOLATION OF TRUTH AND LIFE BY CLOWNCORE???
God I can't get enough of this stuffff
This is so fucking good I can’t even believe what I’m hearing. JFC this is ridiculous musicianship!!!
I was checking the first 5 seconds in awe wondering: OMG, is he the original Scary Pockets bassist with his disctinctive head-to-the-rhythm move? Yes, indeed! Killer song, killer band!
This is the best
What an absolute masterpiece. I want to thank you for continually working on and releasing some of the most unique and incredible pieces of music that exists today. It’s always a great day when new Louis Cole drops!
this is heaven
Sam Wilkes 4ever 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I feel the funk in my heart and I don't want it to stop - Is this . . .LIFE
Heres some more lyrics for me to religiously live by
Damn! You guys are so sick! Unbelievable drive and groove. Everyone is spot on. Wicked music!
AAAAAAAAH!!!! YOOO!!!!!!! WOW!! WHAAT?!?!?! HOW?!?!? The SOLO!! AND THE AFTERMATH!!! That was absolute LUNACY!!! Great job.
Damn, i cried
My mom knows the sound of them. I am so happy!
CLOWN CORE!!!!!!!!!!!! Knew it was them.
Yeah this is basically a remix of Flat Earth 😂
I come back to this song to center myself now. Thanks brother.
HEYYYYYY what a full blast song!
I love the way Jacob mann plays such crazy chords while being so chill lol 🖤
This is insane and yes Zappa would get it... Music beyond the pandemic.. 🌻🙌
Louis Cole, Music for Ascending Souls
Of course you must record Life live. Truly we are living in the best possible timeline, despite anything else that happens this year
So great to hear again, was fortunate enough to be there in 2021 and 2023 in Utrecht. Already preordered the vinyl!
I'm so in love with this music and Knower can't wait to here more new music!
Louis Cole thank you so much for doing these shows here in NL. Cannot wait to see you guys again in October!
Same re. the vinyl, then I went fuck, how am I gonna feed my kids this week 🤦♂️
SAX A MA PHOOOOONNNEEE
That bassline is just daft. Bravo!
I love the fact that so many talented musicians all subscribed to bringing Louis' amazingly frenetic and intricate music to life (pun intended 😉) 😍👏🏾🎶❤️🔥
Louis Cole's songs always bring a smile to my face.
Damn this is dope!
Damn Sam Wilkes is tight.. always is
The standard for tightness has been raised even higher 🔥🔥
This is the most louis cole louis cole has ever louis coled and I love it
sooo tight and ethereal, love it so much 🥲
You guys are fantastic!!! Jamiroquay meets Zappa in Charlie Parker memorial barbecue party
Beautifully observed.
Sam Wilkes go wild bro
super solid louis cole experience. new album looking great
THAT SAX SOLO !
Musical triple espresso!!!
Orchestra sound I'd wish to be fuller, but guess that's hard to do in a life recording.
If this song ain't the soundtrack for the next Rainbow Road in Mario Kart, I am asking Nintendo for a refund.
I've already listened to it 10 times...
the bass drum duo is crazy !!!!
It's so good that once you've heard one song, they all sound the same.
