I bought this off Amazon like a year ago, but Amazon sucks so hard I never actually got a copy of it.

    School 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.

Rest in Peace, Benjamin.
