Glad to see the comments here are more positive than on Instagram! I don’t understand why people were being so negative. Soo happy RKS is making music again!! 🎉
ig was just a teaser and is more focused on the previous post about the departure. If ppl come this way it's mostly to hear the new song. Comments will be torn either way, but yes facebook and here are much more positive ❤
So glad that they all took the time they needed to figure out how to move forward! Sad that Charlie isn’t continuing this new era with the band but can’t wait so what’s to come❤
The other albums got me through my alcohism & the last 2 years of sobriety. I am very thankful for this band & maybe this album isn't for someone like me but I hope it's therapeutic to others
ELA the outfits are AMAZING!!! you look absolutely stunning so excited to see what the future holds with Rks. I see a lot of negative comments about the departure with Charlie but I understand that change happens…. Its hard but also necessary for growth. It shows strength when people are able to let go and move forward. I wish all the best to Charlie as well as RKS!!❤
It's a shame Charlie is departing but here's to new beginnings for you all. I'm glad y'all decided to keep making music after all. Thank you for existing
@@rbeezy-They didn't gave an exact reason. Just: "After a concerted effort to move forward together, Ela could not find a way to continue working with them...and the band seriously contemplated calling it quits." So we don't know what happened.
damn man... sucked to find out this way. really wish they kept that post more vague, I'm not trying to parasocial with any of these guys I just love and respect the music. keep your drama to yourself or actually commit, cause all I'm getting from that is bitterness which kind of sours the listening experience.
Im so happy RKS is back!! what a wonderful surprise to release this song and video without announcing beforehand. Loved it, cant wait for Superstar to drop!
I’m really glad you like it so much but I don’t hear that at all. The only familiar thing is Ela’s voice. And even that is auto-tuned so heavily now…. Is the old sound in the room with us?

@@Ray-nv6uewhat? Autotuned is literally used for 10 seconds in this entire song. What do you mean? Also every single album sounds different from the previous. New fan or only familiar with the hit songs?
I think people forget Charlie was part of writing this album that’s upcoming so they want to hate on the new music to take sides… but in reality this was going to be their direction with or without Charlie involved. They will be missed dearly, but RKS will still be RKS
It is sincerely righteous that you all are back. It is sad to see Chatlie leaving, but it may be for the best growth of everyone involved. But... I would like you all to know that your music is the best medicine for my mental health. To weep at a live show is the best therapy session that I have ever paid for. Very ready for you all to come back to St. Louis.
This is the best RKS video yet in terms of messaging the subtext of the lyrics. So happy to see Ela getting her confidence and energy back. ❤ Keep shinin, RKS!
They had NO business going this hard! The fucking outfits!!!! I am losing it!!!! SLAY QUEEN!!!! The sets! Everything! How do y’all keep getting better????
I agree with your sentiment but i don’t think it’s technically correct. If they weren’t hard 1920’s folk bluegrass, I think a lot of the current fans would rightly drop off.
@Hiskool1s it's just a new sound. All their old stuff is still there! They remain incredibly talented and I'm excited to see how they can adapt to change.
The auto tune feels a little out of place for me personally, but I'm glad it's not too over the top. Very excited to hear new music from you all, just hope the vibes are generally the same!
Nothing but love from the bottom of my heart and Huntington, West Virginia! Ya'lls music is pure talent & I've done everything possible to spread it here, in the past 5yrs when I found out about it. Only reason I mentally survived the pandemic.
The more I listen to it, the more I love it! Ela is stunning. They're all glowing. I'm sooo happy they're continuing to make music as a band. I have so much love for these humans 💐🌈😻🎊 🥹🫶
I'm glad y'all are back, no matter why folks leave, the fact y'all wanna keep it up is more then enough, an I hope Charlie has a good life an doesn't let the negativity get to him..❤❤
I've been ever so patiently waiting since the tour cancellation and my heart is just so ready for what's to come from you. Thank you for taking the time, we're ready for the return ❤️
I like it but honestly… little to poppy for my taste. i love drop stop and roll, and i am hoping their new songs go back into that direction; less autotune, more indie rock type songs. But still a huge fan and excited (and a little nervous) for this new chapter!
I agree on the auto tune front. It's too noticeable for me :( I don't mind the overall sound of the song but I can't get over that autotune.. super glad they're back making music again though, and I'm hopeful for it!
Just sittin here running thru the lineup and this popped up and am So glad it's in my saved favorites i LOOOOOOOOOOV it, so damn good, you all should come hang out at my porch sometime.
What an awesome surprise that made me actually LOL that they released this track a day earlier with no warning just promoted superstar then cheeky dropped this like "lol" 🤣 I am so glad this band is back with soulful beautifully made music 🌈😍🥰
OMG! This makes me sooooo happy!!! But my heart hurts too 😢🤩💔🎊🥹🤸🏼♀️ I'm sad Charlie's gone. What a roller coaster of a comeback. This is such bittersweet moment! 💔🫶😭

Aww to bad Charlie is not in the band. Charlie was awesome with all that high energy. I think the band is great and I hope you all continue to make awesome music! 👌
i’ve never been this invested into a band, 5 years deep into supporting y’all & to my understanding this rebranding is an attempt to keep up with the times? make sure to stay authentic to ur selves. the folk/indie/rock esk sound will forever remain in a safe guarded place in my heart. keep up the grind nonetheless, i rest my case.
From a money and popularity standpoint it makes sense, but it feels soulless now from what I’ve heard. Personally I hope the whole album isn’t like this. I don’t hear any of their past authenticity under all of the autotune and pop.
Some bands just find new sounds. Whose to say it's not what they wanted to do, and this is who they authentically are now? Personally I don't think anything will surpass my love for Friend Love Freefall and I'm disliking the prevalence of autotune but they're the artists here, this is their expression and soul. Happened to me with Mother Mother too. Superstar was pretty great though imo!
I was a huge RKS fan. Charlie brought a lot of energy and I think we’re all going to miss them, but the change in sound is bold and I’m sure you’ll get some new fans however the overuse of auto tune isn’t vibing with me personally. I’ll miss you guys

Instagram comments are probably the meanest comments on the internet
instagram is a cesspit, horrible depressing people live there
So many assumptions in those comments. Like can we just be happy that they did what was best for them all. It could have been so much worse.
I am happy for them. It’s just this music isn’t RKS. Also, it sucks.
a whole new era is a little scary after 10 years as a fan but I'm so eager for this chapter!! 🥰
Same!!!! Having a really weird time sorting thru my feelings 😭
It's going to be a TRANSistion!
Right?! I’ve been listening since Boone and kinda in a mindfuck with this last week 😅
@jenileestepptriebert4712 Strange times. One day we will see cats become dogs, and vice versa.

It’s very saddening that they got kicked out.
Shit happens. We don’t know the full story
The other albums got me through my alcohism & the last 2 years of sobriety. I am very thankful for this band & maybe this album isn't for someone like me but I hope it's therapeutic to others
This album let me heal from a long term relationship breakup. I got to listen to RKS without the baggage attached! (Relatively)

Im so happy RKS is back!! what a wonderful surprise to release this song and video without announcing beforehand. Loved it, cant wait for Superstar to drop!
Okay actually I love this so much. It’s enough of the old to feel familiar but enough forward movement that it feels fresh. Legit legit legit.
Very well said. This plus the initial teaser we got on ig, sounds like it’s gonna be a good sounding album.

Keep going your own way!!! The real fans hang alongside your journey :)

I wonder why he left
I love how you always reinvent your sound❤
Ela is so glam and I'm loving it!
I missed you guys so much I'm so glad your back this means everything
You guys are insanely talented. I've missed you all so much! This is great.

HEYOO BEAUTIFUL SOULS
👁️✨👁️
absolute banger
RKS for life
here’s the lyrics! I couldn’t find any!
I want you, but hon
We've been through enough
There's so much of us
Is there no love?
Like my heart hurts
Like my jaw hurts
Like my job hurts
And I'm talking to a wall
Hello, operator, can I call you later?
You know shit's been crazy 'round here
Fingertips are shaking, playing Operation
Tag you in the basement I'm in
I can keep on running 'til I'm running out of road
Just wait you keep on asking me
When are we going home
I'm tryna find my soul, I can't tell you if I'm close
Move a little closer when I needed you the most
'Cause there's bad times honey
And there's good time money
And it's laugh out loud
When this shit's not funny
I just feel so clueless
Calling you to prove me wrong
Just be honest, oh
Smoke 'em if we got 'em
Let me know if it's a problem
I can tell you what pill will be the hardest one to swallow
We can hang around smiles
Off of seventh avenue
Yeah we're making bad calls
'Cause we ain't got shit to do
I want you but damn
I can't hold your hand
I can't be your Sandman
I don't need a fan
I am who I am
I'm cool as the goddamn sea
I can keep on running 'til I'm running out of road
Just wait, you keep on asking me
When are we going home
I'm tryna find my soul, I can't tell you if I'm close
Move a little closer when I needed you the most
'Cause there's bad times honey
And there's good time money
And it's laugh out loud
When this shit's not funny
I just feel so clueless
Calling you to prove me wrong
Just be honest, oh (please)
Like my heart hurts
Like my jaw hurts
Like my job hurts
And I'm talking to a wall
Like my heart hurts
Like my jaw hurts
Like my job hurts
Are you listening at all?
Hello, operator, where are you located?
You know shit's been crazy 'round here
You guys always manage to come with something unforgettable and warm.
Gawd, I love y'all so much. I'm not the biggest fan of the autotune but this song hits everything I think we've been feeling ♥️♥️
The amount of healing tears you guys bring to my eyes is unreal 🥹, love you guys ❤
I love your music, and this is a great song 🎶 ☺️💖
This comment section passes the vibe check. This is a banger
Can't decide if I like the autotune or not, but I'm really looking forward to the stripped version of these new songs!
Transitioning can be difficult but has opportunities for growth. -JMK
I can’t wait to continue to watch this band transition and grow. ❤️
I keep coming back. Haunting. Thank you ❤

I NEED THE ALBUM NOW!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
i’ve never been this invested into a band, 5 years deep into supporting y’all & to my understanding this rebranding is an attempt to keep up with the times? make sure to stay authentic to ur selves. the folk/indie/rock esk sound will forever remain in a safe guarded place in my heart. keep up the grind nonetheless, i rest my case.

So quick with past tense wording LOL
I agree on the auto tune thing. This is giving Olivia Rodrigo x RKS
god damn i wasnt expecting this song to hit so hard and be so catchy immedietely upon the first listen. Im already addicted.
I feel like every single one of their songs has this effect on me 😅
Don't take me wrong but don't you all feel that in old videos the image of the group was more a group? I feel I'm watching Ela's video here.
i was looking for this comment
me too...@@allistoller2622
I don’t see it
