The Knocks were formed in 2008 by James "JPatt" Patterson and Ben "DJ B-Roc" Ruttner. Patterson and Ruttner met at New York City's New School and shared an apartment, where they set up small recording studios in their bedrooms. The loud noise coming from their apartment led to neighbors constantly knocking on their door in order to get them to pipe down, hence the duo's name. Early success as remixers, however, enabled them to build their own studio in Manhattan. During 2008 and 2009, Knocks remixes surfaced for Katy Perry ("I Kissed a Girl"), Britney Spears ("3"), and PRGz ("Soul Glo"). B-Roc and Andrew W.K. also released DAMN! The Mixtape Vol. 1 in 2009, featuring several Knocks productions.
In 2010, the Knocks released their first singles, the sunny "Dancing with the DJ" (which later appeared on their 2011 EP Magic) and the whistling "Make It Better." Over the course of the next few years, the duo's profile was magnified by additional remixes for Tegan and Sara ("Closer"), the 1975 ("Girls"), and Dragonette ("Let It Go"), among others, in addition to tours with Ellie Goulding, Dragonette, and Sleigh Bells. They also collaborated with Fred Falke for the Kitsuné Music release "Geronimo" in 2012, as well as Treasure Fingers for "DYWT," released on Fool's Gold Clubhouse in 2014. Also in 2014, the group released an EP, titled Comfortable and released on the Neon Gold label, that included collaborations with X Ambassadors and Ra Ra Riot.
Signed to Big Beat, the Knocks slowed it down a bit for the 2014 single "Classic," one of their funkier and more disco-indebted singles, featuring Powers. An EP titled So Classic appeared in April 2015, followed by a new version of "Classic" featuring a verse by Fetty Wap. The Knocks spent much of the year working on their long-delayed debut album, which was previewed by the singles "I Wish (My Taylor Swift)" (with Matthew Koma) and "New York City" (featuring Cam'ron). Finally, in March 2016, the duo released their first full-length, 55, which included additional guest appearances from Wyclef Jean, Walk the Moon, Carly Rae Jepsen, Alex Newell, and Semi-Precious Weapons' Justin Trantor. That July, the pair remixed selected tracks from the album on the 55.5 EP.
In early 2017, the Knocks released Testify, an EP of new songs featuring collaborations with MNEK, Delacey, and Tayla Parx. Later that year, the duo teamed up with Skylar Spence and released a future funk mixtape as Amelia Airhorn. They also formed the Mary Nixons, a group with Mat Zo, and issued the single "Adrian." They followed with the Captain Cuts collaboration "House Party." July 2018 saw the release of the single "Shades" which appeared later that year on the Knocks' second full-length, New York Narcotic. The album also featured contributions from Method Man, Sofi Tukker, and Foster the People.
2019 brought several singles, including the Kah-Lo collaboration "Awa Ni" and "Lucky Me" (with Great Good Fine Ok). Most of these were collected on the EP Summer Series: 2019. Several more singles arrived in 2020, including "One Fine Day" (with Idris Elba), "Bodies" (with MUNA), and "All About You" (featuring Foster the People). The following year, they released Melody & Silence, an EP with Foster the People that included a remix of the single, as well as covers of hits by Beck, Moby, and the Verve. Also in 2021, the Knocks released "R U High" (featuring Mallrat) and "Sound the Alarm" (featuring Rivers Cuomo and Royal & the Serpent), and were featured on Purple Disco Machine's "Fireworks." The following year saw the release of the full-length effort, HISTORY, which featured collaborations with Foster the People, MUNA, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Cold War Kids, Parson James, and Yoke Lore, among others.

Walking On Water
The Knocks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Real love feels like walking on water
I wanna tell you we'll be here forever
Real love feels like walking on water
Some things never end, it's you right beside me
Some things never end, it's you right beside me
Some things never end, it's you right beside me
You always will remember
Ooh-ooh (you never will forget)
You never will forget her
Ooh-ooh
I wanna tell you how, over and over
Real love feels like walking on water
I wanna tell you we'll be here forever
Real love feels like walking on water
Some things never end, it's you right beside me
Some things never end, it's you right beside me
Some things never end, it's you right beside me
Some things never end, it's you right beside me
The lyrics of Walking on Water start with the desire to repeatedly express how true love is akin to walking on water. The concept of walking on water is often associated with Jesus Christ, who performed a miraculous act of walking on water, thus making it a metaphor for something seemingly impossible to achieve. The lyrics of this song suggest that real love has the ability to make one feel buoyant, weightless and fearless. The singer believes that the love they share with their partner will last forever, and they will always be there for each other. The repetition of the line "some things never end, it's you right beside me" reinforces the idea that the connection between the two lovers is eternal and unbroken.
The songwriting is simple and straightforward, yet it conveys a powerful message of enduring love. The chorus is catchy, easy to sing along to, and provides a sense of comfort and security. The verses are stripped down and minimalistic, allowing the chorus and the overall sentiment of the song to shine through. The lyrics also touch on the idea of memory and how certain moments with loved ones can stay with us forever. The line "You always will remember, you never will forget her" suggests that the person the singer is addressing will always carry the memory of the love they shared together.
