I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)
School of Seven Bells have announced that a video and digital single will be released for “I Got Knocked Down (But I’ll Get Up)” originally by Joey Ramone. Throughout 2013 producer/guitarist Benjamin Curtis had been courageously combating T-cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. Recorded in it's entirety to his laptop from his hospital bed at Memorial Sloan-Kettering in New York City, 'I Got Knocked Down (But I'll Get Up)' is Benjamin's final recording before passing on December 29, 2013. "It was a very spontaneous decision to record this track," says Alejandra Deheza. "Benjamin had been talking about the song a lot, and then he just decided he was going to do it. We couldn't record vocals in the hospital, so he actually face-timed with me and his brother while we recorded vocals in the studio. He spearheaded the whole thing on face time, would even tell us which knobs to turn and listen to levels etc. We'd even see nurses in the background from time to time! It was really amazing. But that was Benjamin, and producing was what he did. It was therapeutic and took his mind off being really sick. This song was really important to him and I'm happy we were able to record it." The track will be made available for purchase digitally on 6/24 and the full video will be premiering on 6/25 exclusively on CultureCollide.com.
