about
‘I Knew It’ is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming album, ‘Force of the Wind’. A beautifully rich, album inspired by a golden period of 70s Brazilian music. A big one for fans of Milton Nascimento, Lô Borges, Arthur Verocai, et al.
Sunshine can be heard in the opening piano chords of 'I Knew It’. SOYUZ deliver a lush heartfelt arrangement with wispy flutes, warming strings and distant, haunting, distorted guitar. It proves to be the perfect accompaniment to the beautiful vocals of renowned musician and vocalist Kate NV.
'I Knew It', has the sense of familiarity even on first listen and feels reassuring, drawing on compositions from the past, but also being something completely new.

lyrics
We heard the news on the radio this morning
That all of us are the heroes of a meaningless tale
Paperback printed, lying in a distant corner
People were furious at the news
Everything looks silly, no matter what we do
I knew it and now I can't help laughing
I am what I saw.
I am what I remember
I am what I have heard myself
I am the echo that will appear
I am the voice that sounds
I am time, time, time
What you wished for yesterday won't come true
Everything will become something else and be forgotten
Everything will be found by someone else
A pile of unexplored objects and words
Books not read, songs not turned on
My voice will drift softly over your house
I am what I saw.
I am what I remember
I am what I have heard myself
I am the echo that will appear
I am the voice that sounds
I am time, time, time
That all of us are the heroes of a meaningless tale
Paperback printed, lying in a distant corner
People were furious at the news
Everything looks silly, no matter what we do
I knew it and now I can't help laughing
I am what I saw.
I am what I remember
I am what I have heard myself
I am the echo that will appear
I am the voice that sounds
I am time, time, time
What you wished for yesterday won't come true
Everything will become something else and be forgotten
Everything will be found by someone else
A pile of unexplored objects and words
Books not read, songs not turned on
My voice will drift softly over your house
I am what I saw.
I am what I remember
I am what I have heard myself
I am the echo that will appear
I am the voice that sounds
I am time, time, time

Just the kind of gentle soundtrack I need when I am doing simple repetitive manual tasks. Impossible to decide on a favourite track because they are all wonderful.

In These Times
by Makaya McCravensupported by 82 fans who also own “I Knew It (feat. Kate NV) (Я так и знал)”
Unlike any other. Its feel is both reflective and down to earth, and the compositions are easily differentiated despite their relative shortness. Not only a pleasure to listen to, this album is rhythmically complex, but not in a maddening, hard to process way. Also, very clever album title.
