this band is one of the reasons I am still alive today. music is powerful and you guys have kept me going through this shit. I am forever grateful you share with us such emotion. can’t wait to see you guys in a few weeks
I feel the same way. Last August my best friend cj killed himself, I discovered rainbow kitten surprise i think that same day.. very cj-ish approved vibe. Wish he could have heard yall top he would have loved it so much
Also Ela’s voice is just hypnotizing. She sounds absolutely beautiful. This song is amazingly done and despite the loneliness and pain you can really feel the love of this band and their bond
Man, I went to class today during a thunderstorm only for it to be cancelled. I just stayed in my car, checked out your Spotify and saw you had just released this. It's a hard feeling to match, sitting in a car listening to something you know you're gonna hear throughout the rest of your life.
Wait bagels have to go to class? Wait actually even more concerning bagels are capable of deep existential thoughts about the music they will be listening to through the span of there whole lives?? Wait, wait actually even maybe more concerning bagels have RU-vid accounts???
I feel like you always hear the music you're meant to hear at the right time and for the past couple years you guys have been on point ever single time. Thank you for this!
Killer as usual...talent is dripping out of these guys. Every song is a reminder of something else to me. When good music is done great...rks is an emotional roller coaster about things you connect to....I try to play as much of these guys for people who have not heard them...
Lyrics: Well there’s two sides to my tail lights And they both don’t work - right There’s a motel on the highway A hundred miles out - side of Nashville And I still don’t know when I can come home But I promised I would try so I might be a coward Well the first cut was the deepest but it healed up whole And the next one was a soft touch but it bled out below We were a team Till your toxic I mean you talk shit, often But once upon a time We were in love Well there’s two sides To a fair fight And you’re the third man out I was hopeful With a slow hand And I got gunned down Well you asked me if I could grow up But I don’t know why for I don’t know much I’m a palm frond Dyin’ on the front porch Well the first cut was the deepest but it healed up whole And the last one was a clean hit but I bled out below We were a team Till your toxic I mean you talk shit, often But once upon a time We were in love Know there’s two lanes on a highway And I passed you by Thought about callin’ But I deleted your number and we both know why -Bridge- Truth is when I met you well you know you made me cry And I knew you for a second you were gone in flashin’ lights But since I had one, lost one oh at least I said goodbye What’s done is done is not enough to describe When I met you I regret you if it makes for the longest ride If I let you stay in my head then it’s overnight You like when I sing our songs about us Well you like when I sing our songs about us in the rain I exorcise us baby I’m working out the pain I knew you had a heart but God I knew just how you were If I’d have known you I’d have cloned you just to see you hurt - Well there’s two sides to a timeline and they’ve all got the same arc When I’m next to you I can wave to you because we’re miles apart Know you wrote me ‘bout you changed things but baby you know me I don’t read a damn thing Don’t ever read a damn thing Well the first cut was the deepest but it healed up whole And the last one was a clean hit but I bled out below We were a team Till your toxic I mean you talk shit, often But once upon a time We were in love Well there’s two lanes on a highway And I passed you by Thought about callin’ But I deleted your number and we both know why
Literally set an alarm for when this would drop. Thank you all for sharing your beautiful art with the world. 💖 You're my favourite band, and I can't wait to see you in Milwaukee next week!!
seeing this song live a week ago was so ethereal- seeing you guys was truly an almost religious experience. if you ever have the chance, see them live! thank you for having such a massive impact on my life in more ways than you know
RKS - you are the real fkn deal ‼️ absolutely incredible and I personally rank you with my most prized happiness. your songs have become part of me and (I do not say this lightly). I could never speak to your ability and impact I’m not worthy ..‼️most importantly, I could never thank you enough, Please keep doing what you do and thank you for being you .
saw your tweets last week and wanted to congratulate everyone on their personal journeys! special congratulations to ela for coming out as trans, really inspirational :) can't wait for the full album! this song is awesome
Im very happy that she is happy with the way she feels but I hope that it doesn't affect the music in any way which is honestly something I'm afraid of I love there style right now
Literally describes my one and only attempt at being married... He was a narcissist, I am autistic/ADHD... I described it once as a lamb with an exacto knife versus a lion with a sledgehammer. Nobody won. We just broke and bloodied both of our hearts...
This is beautiful! Ela, I just heard your amazing news today! Congratulations girl! I'm a trans women and musician too; except that I left my music life behind when I transitioned out of the fear of lack of acceptance of a trans vocalist/musician. You and Charlie have been inspirations for me to re-evaluate that decision and to continue to find and be my authentic self. Love you all and your music!
Listening to this after along day after work.. life goes on even without the one that broke your heart.. hang in there guys it’s better on the other side
I couldn't have chosen a better band to be my very first concert. I'm so excited to see you all next week in KY! As always your music has entered my life right when I needed it to. Thank you sm RKS for being the home my inner child always needed 💝
This song released on the day after I broke up with my bf. It perfectly encapsulates what I feel. “When I stand next to you, I can wave to you because we are miles apart”.
Forever waiting for the day you guys announce a UK concert - been a fan for so many years and can't wait for the day I get to hear you guys in person. Thank you for the good music, I will never tire of it
Can't wait to hear this In July! I am ridiculously excited to see you guys live, you have had my heart since I stumbled upon your music a year ago, I wish I knew about you guys sooner but happy as hell to know you now!! I can't wait!!
I've been listening to RKS for years and every song is just so full of meaning and poetry; I love every single one of them. This in particularly makes me think of Rufus and Mateo from They Both Die at the End, which is also a beautiful story, much like this song
And I thought you guys stopped making music, haven’t seen you around lately from some of the old songs I’ve heard. I would cry with one of the first songs I ever heard from you “Devil Like Me” in my car going home. Glad you have come back around in my feed. It’s nice to see you again haha
I love every song you guys put out. You truly are the band I've been needing and has gotten me through some tough times💓 I can't wait until the rest of the album. COME TOUR AUSTRALIA🇦🇺
Found this band when I was in my lowest and contemplating life. I just remember listening to them for the first time and feeling overwhelmed with hope. Idk how to describe the feeling but I just felt like every thought and problem I faced was a minor inconvenience and I was finally going to be ok . Rainbow Kitten Surprises y’all don’t understand how much you’ve impacted my life🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️
my favourite band ever. Love you rainbow kitten surprise!! thank you for saving my life literally in the hospital now and you guys get me through it all!!! So powerful and meaningful songs
