1. a singer songwriter, … Read Full Bio ↴There are at least four acts called Kovacs:
1. a singer songwriter, Sharon Kovacs, and her band, based in Eindhoven, The Netherlands
2. a six-piece band from Liverpool, United Kingdom
3. a band from Leeds, United Kingdom
4. a producer Nandor Kurtossy from Hungary with the pseudonym Kovacs
1. Kovacs from Eindhoven, The Netherlands, is singer-songwriter, Sharon Kovacs, who signed a contract with Warner Music in 2014. She uses Kovacs as her artist's moniker and also refers to her backing band as Kovacs. Kovacs has a soulful voice with hints of Beth Gibbons, Shirley Bassey and Edith Piaf. She is inspired by Etta James, Dinah Washington and Nina Simone. Her full-length début, Shades Of Black (Spring 2015) contains a mix of 'night club soul', jazz and R&B.
2.Kovacs (Liverpool) are a six-piece consisting of one Canadian, one Irishman, two Brits and two Norwegians. Since their first experimental fumblings in late 2006, they have armed themselves with Megan Kovacs’ quirky compositions and set out to carve their own niche in the UK music scene. Kovacs is a band not limited to any particular genre and will appeal to anyone with a taste for music off the beaten path. Their influences range from Rachmaninov to Rufus Wainwright, from Gogol Bordello to Isis, and they are continuously expanding their musical palette.
3. Kovacs (Leeds) came about when Clodhoppa fell in love with breakbeat. After a jaded period synapses were tweaked and feet got itchy to move again when the whole 'nuskoolbreaks' thing happened, pushing the dancefloor in a different way. As some of the Clodhoppa tunes stepped out of the 'chill' arena, Kovacs stepped in. Taking the same attitudes but digitising itself and pushing up the tempo. A release on Cone Records followed, the 'TWOCA ep' with remixes by Platinum Mules and Wax Equestrian. Hot on the heels of that came Midnight Records. Seeing Kovacs' deep and dirty approach to breaks they asked for remixes to compliment their deep house stylings.
4. Kovacs is the pseudonym of Nandor Kurtossy, the young Hungarian producer. He started making music in ’96, so nowadays he has his own massive musical archive including his works under the name Kovacs as well as the rest of his side projects like Savages (downtempo), Vega Ass (funk breaks), Cockchafer (trip hop). The pseudonym Kovacs covers dirty jazz mixed with sensual electronica. What he simply calls “nu-jazz”, however, is proved to be much more beyond its common meaning.
The Devil You Know
Kovacs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With cigarette smoke
Feeling alright
The sky looked like black glitter
Tonight you'll be a winner
You said "I do" to
The wrong side
And then you play nice
You've got to know
I burned your letter
Worse for the better
You made me fall
I'll make you crawl
You've made your bed
Now lie in it (oh oh)
We're done, we're dead,
Stop hiding it (oh oh)
One step, two step, three step, four
My heart in the trunk
But your body's on the floor
Horns on my head,
You lost your bet
'Cause you are the devil
You know, you know,
You know (oh oh)
You know, you know, you know
Coming out of a real thriller
Never thought you was a killer
Thunder brings white light
Kovac's gonna be alright
We used to be easy
But now you are my enemy
Did you enjoy the wolf bite
Now we say goodbye'
You made me fall
I'll make you crawl
'Cause you are the devil
You know, you know,
You know (oh oh)
You know, you know, you know
You killed us
You killed us
I wrote my name
And drew a cross
(you killed us)
Blew out the flame
To see who I was
'Cause you are the devil
You know, you know,
You know (oh oh)
You know, you know, you know
(you killed us)
The song "The Devil You Know" by Kovacs is a reflection of a relationship that has gone wrong because one partner has turned out to be deceptive and destructive. The opening verse describes a ride into darkness, in which smoke and glitter fill the air. The singer is feeling good about themselves, but things take a wrong turn when they realize their partner is not what they seem. They've made the wrong choice, and it's messed things up. The chorus expresses a desire for revenge and implies that the singer will make their partner pay for their deception.
The second verse describes the aftermath of the breakup: the singer's heart is broken, and their partner is lying on the floor metaphorically. The horns on the singer's head are a symbol of their anger and determination to get revenge. The bridge provides some hope as the singer realizes they will be okay, but their ex-partner is left behind.
Overall, "The Devil You Know" is a song about a relationship gone wrong, and the emotions that come with realizing someone you thought you knew turned out to be the opposite. The song channels the singer's anger and desire for revenge, and in the end, the villain is defeated.
Line by Line Meaning
You stepped into a dark ride
You entered into a dangerous journey
With cigarette smoke
Surrounded by a hazy atmosphere
Feeling alright
Feeling confident despite the risks
The sky looked like black glitter
The night looked beautiful yet sinister
Tonight you'll be a winner
Tonight, you believe you'll come out on top
You said "I do" to
You committed to
The wrong side
The side that brings destruction
Fucked me up
You hurt me
And then you play nice
But afterwards, you act friendly
You've got to know
You should realize
I burned your letter
I destroyed any evidence of our past
Worse for the better
It may seem like a bad decision, but ultimately it's for the best
You made me fall
You caused me to stumble
I'll make you crawl
But I'll make you beg for mercy
You've made your bed
You've created your own problems
Now lie in it (oh oh)
Now deal with the consequences
We're done, we're dead,
Our relationship is over, it's dead
Stop hiding it (oh oh)
And stop pretending otherwise
One step, two step, three step, four
The inevitability of progress, regardless of the situation
My heart in the trunk
My emotions are locked away
But your body's on the floor
While you're the one that's suffering
Horns on my head,
Feeling aggressive and angry
You lost your bet
You underestimated me
'Cause you are the devil
You are the source of my downfall
You know, you know,
You're aware
You know (oh oh)
You know it's true
Coming out of a real thriller
Emerging from a traumatic experience
Never thought you was a killer
Surprised by your destructive behavior
Thunder brings white light
Catastrophe can lead to enlightenment
Kovac's gonna be alright
I'll come out okay in the end
We used to be easy
Our relationship used to be simple
But now you are my enemy
Now, you're someone who wants to hurt me
Did you enjoy the wolf bite
Did you get satisfaction from causing me pain
Now we say goodbye'
Now it's time to end things
You killed us
Your actions destroyed our relationship
I wrote my name
I took control of the situation
And drew a cross
And left the past behind
(you killed us)
Your actions destroyed us
Blew out the flame
Put an end to any hope of reconciliation
To see who I was
To rediscover myself and start anew
