We Play the Funk (CMC & Silenta Remix) [feat. Bootsy Collins]

Welcome to the description of Know No More,

You made it! It's good to have You here, please make Yourself at home. :)

There can be times in life where it feels like You know exactly where You're going, what You're doing, and who You are. Times when You feel like You know a thing or two, and You've got this world figured out.

Then there can be times where the direction isn't clear, the action isn't obvious, and You are no longer certain of who You are. Times when You feel like You truly don't know anything, and You don't have anything figured out at all.

This song is an honest admission of that feeling of knowing nothing. The focus is not so much on a loss of what was once known, but rather the clarity, lightness (of weight) and spaciousness that allows new knowledge to sprout and grow. The false ending/bridge of the song is to trick You, just incase You thought You knew what was going to happen! >:D

In some way, this song is also about letting go and trusting that the knowledge that You need will appear when it is needed. If my head is constantly cluttered with repetitive thoughts about what I already know - it is hard for new ideas to find room, it is hard for new information to be processed, and it is hard to truly listen to someone whose experience and knowledge is different than my own.

How do we know when to KNOW, and when to LET GO and allow ourselves to think, feel, process, discern, or listen?

I don't know...

^-^

Oddly, to me 'not knowing' means to relate to a moment as if it is fresh - to investigate it without projecting what I think I know onto it. To perpetually be in the process of learning and understanding. I like 'not knowing' a whole lot!

But what do I know! :)

This song was originally inspired by, and currently dedicated to, the serenely sweet Mary (Thank You for Your influence Mary, I Love You) <3

I was motivated to record it by the sincerely savoury Nik (Thank You for doing what You do and helping bring this song into existence) <3 ( @nikpersaud )

With invaluable production advice and second opinions from the seriously stupendous Frank (Thank You for Your ears, and Your mind, and Your heart) <3 ( @francois-john-cormier )

Thank You to my family and dearest of friends. And especially to Tove, Anaïs, Zak, Juniper Lilly, Paula, Ana, Marcus, and Eireen.

I am grateful. <3 <3 <3 

Lyrics:

Un - True, Untrue Freefloor (justkidding)

I don’t know where I’m going, (adventure!)
I don’t know who I am, (isn't it obvious?)
If I checked the roots of all the truths I’ve ever known,
There’d be no solid ground left for me to understand on.

All I know is that I don’t know nothing.
I don’t know nothing at all.
All I know is that I don't know nothing,
I know no more.

I don’t know what I’m doing, (could You tell?)
I don’t know why I’m here, (why do You wanna know?)
Questions marry answers and they run off on their honeymoon,
Of all the things I’ve learned I didn’t keep a single souvenir,

All I know is I don't know a thing,
Don't know a thing for sure,
Don't know a thing for certain,
Don't know anything.
All I know is whatever You think I know was better to let go,
So I know no more.

Why’s it so hard to be simple?
Why is everything so complicated?
I don’t know the facts,
I don’t know the faux,
All I know is that I don’t know…

All I know is that I don’t know nothing,
Nothing, nothing, Nothing weighs on me.
Don’t know the facts,
don’t know the faux,
Just relax,
Go with the flow.

Don’t know where I’m going,
Don’t know where I am,
Don’t know what I’m doing,
Don’t know who I am,
Don’t know how to do it,
Don’t know why I am,
Don’t know how to say it,
Don’t know when I can.

-----------------------

I know, I know, I said 'go against the flow' in the last song, and now here I say 'go with the flow' - by now You must know that I don't know - perhaps not every flow is go-with-worthy, You know?

Yours truly,

Nono Moore

Know No More (feat. Nono Moore)

Something more traditional/folksy I've been chipping away at for a bit, struggling to flesh it out with more instrumentation. However, the more I listen to its currently bare-cupboard, acoustic vocals+piano arrangement, maybe it's simply *meant* to remain rough and rudimentary?

So please pay no attention to the little finger flubs here and there, and just let yourself get washed over by the orange waves of the Northumberland Strait, where I grew up and where my childish heart still beats.

***

Orange waves crash then go
Stealing sand with its ebb and flow
Holes dotting cliffsides' red clay
Where the swallows sleeping lay

Beyond green edge a homestead puffs away
Hurls hardwood smoke through cold blue
Rocking chairs paired, slowly rotting grey

Island smiles from across the way
Thin dark line splits Strait and sky
It flickers ghostly, hovers fey
Once Ile Saint-Jean, now PEI

Each flat stone we throw from the beach
With dreams to skip, perhaps to fly
All doomed to sink, the island never reached
Drowning jealous of the driftwood swimming by

As full moon flirts with blushing tide
Salt waters sink and sandbars swell
Before they change their minds and hide
I take their path to Mount Carmel

Beyond green edge a homestead puffs away
Hurls hardwood smoke through cold blue
Rocking chairs paired, slowly rotting grey

At Trois-Ruisseaux I wait for you
At Trois-Ruisseaux I wait for you
Trois-Ruisseaux

Orange Waves (acoustic rough)

Another one from my early "iPhone Sessions" recordings.

I think I was going for a Pink Floyd feel with this bluesy instrumental.

Why does this You-n-I-verse allow the Best of Us to Age and Crumble when they have given us so much and asked for so little in return?

True Superheroes should live forever, g-dammit.

LYRICS

After the first, Scared shadow of a man
stares at me 
and says “I see myself, son’s eyes scream everything”

Then he says,

“Not so long ago, I’m in your place, 
glare at own dad’s face
and hear myself, Confused and questioning”

At what moment in the growing weight 
of a life does it break one’s back
at what point does one run away from the light
and pray to fade through to the black?

He struggles to explain, 
but thought and memory soar free 
from a plaintive self
the strain so deafening

In this fluorescent silence 
a gap of decades 
and five feet separate our selves
why can’t I say anything?

Awkward moments, statements slur together, 
can’t even sense if he is still himself
where is the one who for years kept us glued together?

Where is the father who raised us from the start
that Big Red lug who moved mountains 
with his superman heart
Where is that strength when he needs it to live
Why does world take from one who only knows how to give?

***

Second time worse, three days and nights in straps and drips, 
full-intubated self
scared, darting eyes that don’t see anything

At what moment in the growing weight 
of a life does it break one’s back
at what point does one run away from the light 
and pray to fade through to the black?

Where is the father who raised us from the start
that Big Red lug who moved mountains 
with his superman heart
where is that strength when he needs it the most
how do I stop a soul from leaving its fraying host?

Originally this was going to be a sing-songy track, but then my fingers couldn't stop strolling in the deep end deed-tales, and now we're all entangled by yet another instru-mental.

Soar-y.
