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.”

Ill Know You
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
There's a possibility that I'll find you even in my dreams
It could be on the streets of L.A.
Our paths might cross on the busy streets of L.A.
It could be on a Monday morning, On a daylight train
It might just be a normal day on a train ride, but I might see you in the daylight
It could happen when I'm lonely
I might find you when I'm feeling lonely and searching for companionship
Looking out on the rain that's falling down
Maybe it'll happen while I'm watching the rain fall outside my window
It could be in a crowd, it could be on a night, When nobody's around
I could find you in a crowded place or in a deserted spot at night
I feel the sweet surrender of my heart, Is leading me to where you are right now
I have this strong feeling that my heart is guiding me to you right now
I'll know when I see you
I have this strong intuition that I'll recognize you the moment I see you
And I'll know before I touch your skin
I'll have this unexplainable feeling that you're the one even before we touch
I'll see it in your eyes
I'll be able to read it in your eyes that you're the one
My whole life will be there
I feel like my whole existence has been leading me to you
And I'll find you at the right time
I trust that fate will bring us together at the perfect moment

But I'll know you
Despite that, I'll have this undeniable feeling that it's you
You're my faith when it's faded
Your presence gives me hope when my faith is dwindling
You're the touch that I want to taste
The thought of your touch is what I crave the most
You're the reason I walk this city
I'm walking around this city because I'm searching for you
And drive myself insane
The longing for you is making me go crazy
I'm holding out for your sweet kiss
I'm waiting and yearning for your sweet, romantic kiss
I'm holding on to the very thought of you
The mere thought of you is what's keeping me going
Laying here in the dark wherever you are
I'm in bed in the dark, thinking of you, wherever you might be
I wanna be there now
I don't want to wait anymore, I want to be with you right now
I'll find a way to push on through to the end of the day
I'll find a way to make it through the day until I can see you
But when you finally come around
But when I finally meet you in person
Oh, I'm barely hanging on
I'm barely holding on, the anticipation of seeing you is too much to handle
I keep wondering how long
I keep wondering how much longer I'll have to wait to meet you
Until the moment I'll get to hold you close to me
I can't wait until the moment when I'll finally get to hold you close
I'm gonna find you baby, always
I'm always going to search for you, no matter what
And I don't care how long it takes
It doesn't matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you, I'll wait
I'll patiently wait for you, I'll wait as long as it takes
I'll know you
I'll have this surreal feeling of certainty 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
