I've been accused of worse...

***********************************************
Just one of those can't-stop-brain-from-humming days today, where something pops in your head and the only way to purge oneself is to make a tiny simple track out of it asap.

LYRICS
Accuse me of magic but
Nothin's up my sleeve

While world tries to sell me
Pop-ups to believe

Guess I'll try breathing
Maybe the air sets me free

I swear it's this easy
Just open my eyes to see

Accuse Me

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
