You might have heard the phrase, "When you know, you know." as it relates to something that resonates in your guts when making big life decisions. And that's exactly the sentiment of this song. It's called, "When You Know".
We had the honor of hearing a love story from some friends of ours and we to put it to music. When you listen, you might find parts of your own love story in the song.
*Something cool: We are releasing it on their wedding day (Sunday, October 24) and we will perform this song on top of the Rockefeller Center in NYC!
We started recording this song as a more simple guitar led song but Dave kept hearing cello in his head, so he called a friend (thank you, Kari Clifton!!) and we simply fell in love with the sound. Our dear friend, Dave Wilton mixed and mastered this song and did an absolutely brilliant job on it!
lyrics
Verse 1
I’ll meet you anywhere on a Monday night
As long as it’s just you and me
And I’m dreaming about all those kisses in the kitchen
And how you’ll keep me laughing and hold me when I cry
Chorus 1
Cause when you know, you know
You are steady, safe and strong
And I know I belong to you
Verse 2
I’m better with you, your hand in mine
And I wonder what you’ll write about our lives
Cause I’m dreaming about cooking you breakfast every morning
And the way you’ll make me dance with you to all of our favorite songs
Chorus 2
Cause when you know, you know
You are beautiful and kind
And I know I belong to you
Bridge:
Even though I take it slow,
I know there’s to time grow with you
I’ll draw plans before we go,
God is dwelling in this home made for two, me and you
Chorus 3
Cause when you know, you know
That you know, that you know
I’ll never let you go
Now that I know
Cause when you know, you know
