School of Seven Bells - I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)
Рет қаралды 157,753
10 жыл бұрынSchool of Seven Bells is pleased to announce the official video for the track 'I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)' originally by Joey Ramone. Throughout 2013, producer and guitarist Benjamin Curtis had been battling T-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. Recording in its entirety on his laptop from his hospital bed in NYC, 'I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)' is Benjamin's final recording before passing on December 29, 2013.
Directors and long time friends of the group, Toby Halbrooks and Alan Del Rio Ortiz, created this visually stunning piece. Revolving around a cross-country road trip stopping in Indio and Joshua Tree, the video celebrates life while displaying its cyclical and inexplicable properties.
The track will be made available for purchase digitally on 6/24. Full video will premiere on 6/25. Stay tuned for more details and plans from School of Seven Bells.

I used to play this for my husband when he got cancer. Played it at his funeral too....

It's been almost 10 years and this still stuns me. The ending takes my breath away. Such a beautiful piece and utterly timeless and a beautiful celebration of Ben and their work. Miss them so much.

The sound that kicks in at 1-30 is immense. The whole song is just brilliant. What a band SoSB were.

I saw School of Seven Bells in maybe 2012 at the Echoplex in L.A. - already having great respect for them, they've always resonated with me - understatement..........shortly thereafter, I saw that Benjamin Curtis was sick and probably cried out to God in an instant, "Lord, heal him!" What an incredible soul and artist and my love is deeper and I am humbled beyond measure by Benjamin's parting gift. May we live in the spirit of all you've given us! I love you Benjamin Curtis!

This has made me so happy..It's the silver lining of a very dark cloud. Alejandra again looks healthy after a terrible year for her with the loss of the sublime Benjamin Curtis.We can celebrate his music,life and the legacy he left us. Thank you Benjamin,Alejandra and Claudia (on the first two albums).RIP Benjamin. Beautiful,amazing and sublime is this track.

Moving last video between Ben and Alejandra...Ben the impetus, Alejandra who finishes it for them. Beautiful references to perseverance and intention for the future, the song is poignant in its celebration of life and death. I appreciate how Ben is woven throughout, as Alejandra moves through aspects of her grief (being alone, in touch with earth/sand, etc.), and ends with the final note of Ben pulling away forever...Alejandra left to carry the mission that was theirs. I wish the best for School of Seven Bells and hope that Alejandra sees fit to carry on its life-force. (Please come to New Orleans one day :) )

the deserts of the American southwest exist so that indie bands have a place to film music videos. Also, that was awesome.

Beautiful song and video. I only discovered their music last year and have been hooked ever since. I am so deeply sorry for Benjamin's passing. He truly is a gifted and beautiful musician and Ali's voice is beautifully haunting as well as her sister on the first two albums. I do hope hear more music from them in the future.

+Tucker Monticelli I suspect not. Much of the desert shots are ready recognizable to residents of Southern California's Antelope Valley, where I live. I've never seen Joshua trees around Reno (although I like the Reno/Carson City area very much, it is heartbreakingly beautiful up there and I am jealous you get to enjoy those views all the time). The large rock formation is Alpine Butte in an area of Palmdale called Lake Los Angeles. Windmill farm is in between Mojave and Tehachipi, shot from a side road near California Highway 14, including the areas with the very southernmost of the Sierra Nevadas, behind the windmills, probably shot in motion along U.S. Highway 395. Beach shots appear to be in either Ventura or Santa Barbara with Channel Islands in background, or somewhat less likely in Malibu with Palos Verdes in background. Streetscape appears to be from near Pico Boulevard, in Los Angeles' warehouse district just east of DTLA.

Amo esta canción. Gracias Ben, porque hasta el Ultimo momento hiciste magia, y has dejado un legado que muchos sabremos apreciar como un gran tesoro. Una vez más gracias Ben, donde quiera que estés sigue haciendo magia. También las gracias infinitas a Alejandra, es un ejemplo de mujer; por favor sigue adelante y no apagues esa voz tan espacial que te dio la vida.. SVIIB forever...

This is an amazing cover of Joey's song. Unlike Joey's version, Benjamin's version seems to have a different perspective with Alejandra singing, as if she (and the rest of us) have to get up after being knocked down after losing him last year.
