The Same Old Song

Flying Lotus featuring Devin Tracy “You Don’t Know”

Devin Tracy sings about unrequited love in “You Don’t Know” as though he’s plagued by intrusive and involuntary thoughts, totally passive to a strong attraction to an indifferent person that may as well be like the moon’s affect on tides. This could easily be an anxious or angry song but he and Flying Lotus convey the feeling with a delicate grace, letting the feeling of love be central to the song rather than the frustration. It certainly gives the listener a sense of why this is so hard to pull away from – there’s a lovely sway and warmth to this music that seems more likely to elevate a person than pull them down.
