The sisters grew up in a musical family, and began playing instruments from an early age in the cover band Rockinhaim, fronted by their parents, Moti and Donna. The two elder sisters, Este and Danielle, began performing with the pop group "Valli Girls" in 2005. They released a few songs on soundtrack and compilation albums under that name, but left the group shortly after an appearance at the 2005 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. They formed Haim with younger sister Alana in 2007, but did not seriously consider it a professional career for some years. After Danielle became a successful touring guitarist, first with Jenny Lewis and later with Julian Casablancas, Haim reformed as a full-time operation in 2012.
The group's first release, Forever (an EP released as a limited-time download), combined with positive reception at the South by Southwest festival, led to a deal with Polydor Records and a management deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation group in mid-2012. The band began recording material for their first album, Days Are Gone, in sessions between touring dates, including appearances at the Glastonbury Festival. The album charted in the top ten in several countries, including the number-one spot in the UK, and the group had won several "best of" awards by the end of 2013. The group was nominated for Best New Artist at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Their second album, Something to Tell You, was released in July 2017. Their third album, titled Women in Music Pt. III, was released on June 26, 2020. The group received nominations at the 63rd Grammy awards for Album of the Year and Best Rock Performance (for "The Steps").
I Know Alone
HAIM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Calling all my friends but they won't pick up
Found another room in a different place
Sleeping through the day and I dream the same
(I don't wanna)
I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give too much
I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna feel at all
'Cause nights turn into days
That turn to grey
Keep turning over
Some things never grow
I know alone like no one else does
Some things never change
They never fade
It's never over
Some things never grow
I know alone like no one else does
Been a couple days since I've been around
Woke up at the wheel on the edge of town
It all looked the same, every mile
Screaming every word of "Both Sides Now"
I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give too much
I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna feel at all
'Cause nights turn into days
That turn to grey
Keep turning over
Some things never grow
I know alone like no one else does
Some things never change
They never fade
It's never over
Some things never grow
I know alone like no one else does
Days get slow like counting cell towers on the road
I know alone and I don't wanna talk about it
Friday hits and I feel like wasting everybody's time
When Sunday comes they expect me to shine
(Now Sunday comes and they expect her to shine)
(Now Sunday comes and they expect her to shine)
When Sunday comes they expect me to shine
(Now Sunday comes and they expect her to shine)
(Now Sunday comes and they expect her to shine)
Some things never change
They never fade
Some things never grow
I know alone
(I know alone)
(I know alone)
(I know alone)
(I know alone)
(I know alone)
(I know alone)
(I know alone)
"I Know Alone" by HAIM is a song that deals with feelings of isolation and loneliness. The lyrics talk about being disconnected from friends and loved ones. The singer has not been out for a couple of days and has been trying to call their friends, but nobody responds. They opt to stay alone instead, sleeping during the day and dreaming the same. The person does not want to give or feel too much, due to the fear of being vulnerable. The days turn into weeks, life gets slow and monotonous - the feeling of alone intensifies.
The next verse talks about the singer waking up at the wheel on the edge of town; it sounded the same every mile, and the person screams every word of "Both Sides Now." In this verse, the person has hit a breaking point where everything feels stale and meaningless; it's hard to differentiate from one location to another. The person screams Joni Mitchell's song, "Both Sides Now," which deals with the realization of one's life being different from what they previously thought.
The chorus repeats the lines "Some things never grow, I know alone like no one else does." The singer may believe that personal growth is stunted and unchanged and that only they know what it is like to be truly alone. The bridge of this song talks about how, during the week, the person no longer wishes to provide value in any form, but the expectation is reversed on the weekends: they ought to come to life and exist.
All in all, "I Know Alone" presents a picture of isolation and disengagement with the outside world. By depicting a bleakness that is sadly familiar to a lot of people in modern times, the song has gained popularity.

I was going to ask about their "Mom" jeans. I've reached the age to be in the category of Mom out of touch. So, I am wondering if this means it's safe to wear them again? Haha

The are walking but not moving anywhere. Well, they are moving but not going anywhere.
Most important: They are keeping at least 2 meters distance from each others, that's how they don't give each others covid-19! Be smart, stay home or at least keep the distance.
