Quality Over Opinion - Louis Cole 

I love louis cole

“Sometimes hating, always loving”. In the rhythm of a heartbeat. Gorgeous piece.

True genius is telling another person what they didn't even know they were thinking. That's what this just did for me.

This album and mycologically infused chocolates are healing me right now. Lost my mom in 2018 and hadn't cried in a couple of years. This is beautiful brother. Even if you never read this thank you for the impact your music has had in my life. Don't ever stop. I love you all

I’m 44, dad x2, married 10 years, fairly happy, successful, fortunate, but this track cut deep. I legit cried on the outro.

My path is up to me Our path is up to us But we need each other Tell your friends These words are for you . . . . I love Louis Cole

So much of Knower and Clown Core feels like a "more is more" philosophy where they are just cramming as many notes, genres, and music theory techniques into a track as possible -- and I love that -- but it's also really cool to see Louis bring his considerable talent to bear on some "less is more" type tracks too. The arrangements are simpler and more emotional. The ideas are bit more earnest and restrained. It's amazing to see how much he can say and how moving it can be by restricting himself to do less musically. (With great power/talent/chops comes great responsibility.) I hope he allows himself the space to continue putting out this (relatively) chill stuff even while he continues to push boundaries with his neo-funk crazy stuff. I'm here for all it.

Louis, Your art is the best art of all the art.

The fantastic composition of the song mixed with the poetry spoken in front of and behind it... Amazing!

Cole you are an underrated treasure in a world full of overrated pleasures🤘🏻♥️👏🏻

Uncontrollable crying as I sit here in my car and listen to the absolute truth vocally and sonically.

And the cycle repeats... Fitter Happier

This track is amazing. The chord progressions and voice leading in the strings are tight. Just great work. I could listen to a 20 minute version of this beast. Amazing work that frankly puts to shame "serious" modern concert composers.

Dude, my jaw dropped at the end there. Holy shit man!

The imagery is amazing

Like someone else said this extremely saddening and uplifting at the same time. I feel hopeless and optimistic at the same time listening to this.

this guy is a serious inspiration. Thank you Louis Cole!

I don't even need food right now. His music is sustaining me like the sun gazers looking into the sun.

This is some profound shit. Everything you touch is gold. Thank you Louis Cole. Seriously, thank you.

Seriously that chord at 3:10 is too fucking much... It breaks my brain, I freaking love it!! You're amazing, thank you for making such incredible music!

saw him recite this while reading it in a paper, it was even mindblowing than listening to the studio version

I’d love to hear an instrumental version of this song. Just the music, beautiful.

This guy deserves my money. if I had any.

Sobbing throughout this entire track. This is what virtuosic potential fully realized sounds like

Thank you. Sincerely.

This is a great album Louis. The songwriting, execution and production values alone are remarkable, but what makes this truly great is the freedom of expression and your vulnerability. As a listener, this is outside of the comfort zone, yet exactly where I ought to be. Please keep it up.

The sound of the future. Brilliant

I love you Louis 🧡 thank you!

Yes!!!!!

This is exquisite.

the new fitter happier

really dig this album

The homie still got it.

Wow. What an experience listening to that! High speed through my head...words, thoughts, emotions and images. Love it.Thanks

I cry everytime I listen to this

Another level, thankyou louis cole🦝

damn louis cole made this kind of music? damn so heartbreaking

If this doesn't give off Dark Crystal vibes nothing does... Amazing

I've been playing jazz drums for some time now, and like everyone else, I have day dreams of playing with famous people, but honestly, if I got invited to play with his band... I would have to pass. I can't hang with these guys. Too much heat. Too much precision. And I think he's just getting started...

Holy shit? Holy shit.

This dudes an awesome drummer, and poet

woah

this made me feel complete full body euphoria it's like it spoke directly to me

The essence

This intro is amazing

Nice

Justin Hawkins said I should check you out

Oh my god

My days, you’re quantised different

Maybe I'm crazy but I got FFX temple trial vibes from this.

Sounds like stream of consciousness poetry over a John Barry soundtrack. Bold!

does anyone know any music similar to 1:38 ? im totally in love with the orchestration

Those genious strings arrangements reminds me of Jeremy Lubbock.

if he isn't the new MJ/Prince/Zappa/James Brown I'll eat my own ears

come on, dammit....lyrics please! Always loving.

🎧 so. great.

Kimda corny but he doesnt mind and neither do i

i just realized this song's 0:50 sounds a lot like clown core's Three's 1:55, the melody is literally the same. that's neat.

Beautiful and sad. Like exurb1a at double speed.

Fam

omaigato. leveling up. please allow some remixes of this, would be so insane! stems? 🤤😅 "incoming ilumi dildo" LOL. you are such a good person. mad respect

Louis, I truly hope you'll find time to write a proper string orchestra piece. I'm brought up within a camerata string orchestra. I have listened to a lot of string music. You are among my top ten favorite string composers.

Thanks from a beatnik.

Louis Cole has one thing in common with so many timeless musicians: he recognizes that if you block out the perceived outcome of a creation, if you disregard what people will think about it just focus on creating something that is a manifestation of the energy around you and inside you at that moment, then the resulting creation will always triumph. This is a beautiful track. Another one of my favorite musicians, John Frusciante, spends 45 minutes talking about Quality over Opinion here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5ArDkQJbVcE.html

Reminds me of 2001 space odyssey

and that outro..

Mister Louis, why this shit unlisted I couldn't find it, tryna play minecraft to some keyboard clicks and mediocre ideas.

If I ever talked shit on slam poetry… I take it back
