Originally written by singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen (lyrics) and Sharon Robinson (music), Everybody Knows is a moving, poetic song that touches on prevalent world problems at the time it was written in 1988, but is just as relevant today.

Stromae’s amazing beats, deep messages, and talent for wordplay are on full display in this song. That combined with the visually arresting video pair nicely with this week’s artwork by Arcmonoro Niles

Brel’s voice is incredible in this song that he wrote in 1959. You can hear the pain in his heart, and it gives me the feels every time. The video is also amazing… he’s just completely in it.

This song is just as relevant today as it was when it was written in 1966. A lot has changed since then, but unfortunately, so much hasn’t and we still have a long way to go until all people are heard, seen, valued, and feel safe.

This week, we listened to this song on repeat while researching art and creating content. Love the message and the intimacy and emotion of Homeboy Sandman's voice.
