Adam, Ashley and Austin ended up living and making a living out of Nashville – Adam has played with SHeDaisy, Ashley with Carrie Underwood and Austin with both SHeDaisy and Carrie. When they saw an advertisement for FOX’s “The Next Great American Band” they decided to make a video and enter the contest as The Clark Brothers. With their matchless sound and sparse instrumentation they progressed through various levels of auditions and were invited to participate in the show – even without having drums or bass. It was a big decision for the guys whether to quit their jobs and take this chance or not, but with full support from their family they went after their dream. It paid off when they won the contest and scored a record deal on 19 Recordings//Universal/Interscope.
Since their win in December of 2007, the three brothers have been on a musical journey, writing songs and exploring who they are as a band. Over time they grew musically and realized their sound was heading in a new, different direction. It was a natural evolution which eventually led to the birth of the name Sons of Sylvia. They are currently working on their debut album expected to release in 2010.
“We have always wanted to make a record that comes from our heart. We want to inspire people with our music. We want to send a message of hope.”

Sons of Sylvia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It could be on the streets of L.A.
It could be on a Monday morning
On a daylight train
It could happen when I'm lonely
Looking out on the rain that's falling down
It could be in a crowd, it could be on a night
I feel the sweet surrender of my heart
Is leading me to where you are right now
I'll know when I see you
And I'll know before I touch your skin
I'll see it in your eyes
My whole life will be there
And I'll find you at the right time
And I'll stay awake cause I don't wanna miss it
You might not even stop and see me standing there
But I'll know you
You're my faith when it's faded
You're the touch that I want to taste
You're the reason I walk this city
And drive myself insane
I'm holding out for your sweet kiss
I'm holding on to the very thought of you
Laying here in the dark wherever you are
I wanna be there now
I'll find a way to push on through to the end of the day
But when you finally come around
I'll know when I see you
And I'll know before I touch your skin
I'll see it in your eyes
My whole life will be there
And I'll find you at the right time
And I'll stay awake cause I don't wanna miss it
You might not even stop and see me standing there
But I'll know you
Oh, I'm barely hanging on
I keep wondering how long
Until the moment I'll get to hold you close to me
I'm gonna find you baby, always
And I don't care how long it takes
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you, I'll wait
I'll know when I see you
And I'll know before I touch your skin
I'll see it in your eyes
My whole life will be there
And I'll find you at the right time
And I'll stay awake cause I don't wanna miss it
You might not even stop and see me standing there
But I'll know you
Oh, I'll know you
Oh, I'm barely hanging on
I'll know you, I'll know you, I'll know you

It could be when I'm dreaming
The moment when I meet you could be something I imagine in my dreams
It could be on the streets of L.A.
The encounter could happen in the midst of the hustle and bustle of city life
It could be on a Monday morning
I can't predict when I'll meet you; it could be any day of the week
On a daylight train
Or it could be while I'm commuting on a train during the day
It could happen when I'm lonely
It could be when I feel the most alone and vulnerable
Looking out on the rain that's falling down
Perhaps the melancholy weather will serve as the backdrop to our meeting
It could be in a crowd, it could be on a night
It could be in any situation, regardless of how many people are around
When nobody's around
Even if there's no one else present, I'll still know it's you
I feel the sweet surrender of my heart
My heart knows that you're out there somewhere, and it's surrendering to the inevitability of our meeting
Is leading me to where you are right now
My heart is guiding me to you, even though I'm not sure where you are
I'll know when I see you
When I finally lay eyes on you, I'll recognize you immediately
And I'll know before I touch your skin
I'll sense that we're meant to be together before we even make physical contact
I'll see it in your eyes
I'll see the same recognition in your eyes that I feel in my heart
My whole life will be there
Our entire future together will be in that moment
And I'll find you at the right time
We'll meet each other when the timing is perfect
And I'll stay awake cause I don't wanna miss it
I'll make sure I'm alert and present so I don't miss our meeting
You might not even stop and see me standing there
You may not even realize that we're meant to be together
But I'll know you
But I'll still recognize you and know that you're the one for me
You're my faith when it's faded
You give me hope and belief in love, even when I've lost faith in it
You're the touch that I want to taste
You're the person I want to share intimate moments with
You're the reason I walk this city
The thought of you keeps me going, even when life gets difficult
And drive myself insane
The longing for you can be overwhelming at times
I'm holding out for your sweet kiss
I'm waiting patiently for the moment when we can share our first kiss
I'm holding on to the very thought of you
I cling to thoughts of you to keep me going until we meet
Laying here in the dark wherever you are
I'm lying here in the dark, wondering where you are and when I'll meet you
I wanna be there now
I wish we could be together in this moment, even though we haven't met yet
I'll find a way to push on through to the end of the day
I'll get through the tough times, knowing that you're out there somewhere
But when you finally come around
But when we finally meet each other, everything will change
Oh, I'm barely hanging on
The wait is almost too much to bear
I keep wondering how long
I constantly ask myself how much longer until we meet
Until the moment I'll get to hold you close to me
I can't wait for the moment when I can finally embrace you
I'm gonna find you baby, always
I vow to find you and be with you, no matter what it takes
And I don't care how long it takes
I'm willing to wait as long as it takes to be with you
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you, I'll wait
I'll be patient and never give up hope that we'll be together one day
Oh, I'll know you
When we finally meet, I'll know without a doubt that you're the one for me

2023?
@user-ox5sh8yz1z
A timeless song. In 2023 it warms the soul as much as it did 13 years ago (or even more) ❤ Your voice is wonderful, Ashley.
@Tfill27productions
This song my wife and I had our first dance to as husband and wife. Also have it as a bedtime playlist to put my toddler to sleep at night. The majority of the views are probably from me. Pains me that this does not have more views.
@tkblondish5820
I agree. They deserved a lot more attention than they received
@raythespian
The perfect video of this thrilling song! Nobody has to put out a clip with the lyrics when Ashley sings! He is the ultimate singer of popular music for our time!
@thestranger8730
How is this song not huge? It’s crazy
@TheClarkBrothersFans
This song alone is incredible and the video just brings it to life even more.. The story in the video makes us "feel" exactly what's going on in the song. It's a touching and beautiful performance from all the guys. I'LL KNOW YOU would be perfect as the title track for the next romantic movie...
@sewtastic
This song seriously needs to be the soundtrack in a movie. Love this song. Love you, guys!
@stevensly
i agree, this song should be bigger. It's as if this song came out at the wrong time :-(
@RM-ui2xq
Love this song! His voice is incredible
