Hi everyone! 👋👋👋 We're finally back! Our studio is DONE! We can make videos! We're excited!!!!!

Seriously, we are so excited to get back to making music. We just finished up a heavenly two weeks of recording with our friends from the Dover Quartet - we recorded 18 videos in 11 days. 😵 We'll be releasing two full albums (one of covers, and one classical quartet album) which we can't wait to share more details about soon. We also want to tell you more about our new studio and give you a proper tour. (So much to do, so little time!) For now we hope you enjoy our version of "drivers license"...we had a blast making it. Thanks for sticking with us! 🥰

Special thank you to Casey and Northwest Grip for his video expertise.

LYRICS:

I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
But today I drove through the suburbs
Crying 'cause you weren't around

And you're probably with that blonde girl
Who always made me doubt
She's so much older than me
She's everything I'm insecure about
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?

And I know we weren't perfect but I've never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be so okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

And all my friends are tired
Of hearing how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
'Cause they'll never know you the way that I do, yeah
Today I drove through the suburbs
And pictured I was driving home to you

And I know we weren't perfect...

Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can't drive past the places we used to go to
'Cause I still love you, babe
Sidewalks we crossed
I still hear your voice in the traffic, we're laughing
Over all the noise
God, I'm so blue, know we're through
But I still love you, babe

I know we weren't perfect...

BROOKLYN DUO BIO:

Founded in 2014, Brooklyn Duo has quickly established itself as one of today’s most successful classical crossover ensembles. Through its creative arrangements and live video performances, the piano and cello duo has garnered a huge following, with over 1.1 million YouTube subscribers and over 150 million streams annually on platforms such as Spotify and Pandora Radio. Their music has been used in numerous television shows, including Grey's Anatomy, Pretty Little Liars, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, America's Got Talent, and most recently during the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

Members Marnie and Patrick Laird met while students at the same chamber music festival and were married in 2012. Both worked as professional musicians after graduating from the Eastman and Juilliard schools of music, respectively; Patrick as a founding member of popular cello rock band, Break of Reality, and Marnie as principal pianist of the New World Symphony. In 2014, on a whim, the couple recorded two covers and released them on YouTube. They were thrilled when Shakira herself took notice of their cover and tweeted about it. The boost from that exposure and the positive response they were getting on YouTube encouraged them to continue creating videos.

Today, Marnie and Patrick have released over 100 videos on their Brooklyn Duo YouTube channel and 10 albums of covers, spanning artists from The Beatles to Metallica to Ariana Grande. Popular classical music stations Classic FM and WQXR regularly share Brooklyn Duo’s music on their social media pages, with Classic FM calling the duo “masters of the artfully planned pop cover.”

And when the world needed them, they returned

[MoovySoundtrax]

Shoutout to the person working the camera. The way this is filmed makes the music even more powerful.

[MeZombeee]

As someone who only listens to Driver's License for the bridge - when you hit that 'red lights, stop signs' it felt like a goddamn epiphany. Bravo

[Phawks-Phire]

2:23 I love how you all looked like knights of the round table with your swords ⚔️ drawn. Absolutely beautiful.

[sarahbartholomew]

The legends are BACK! What a wonderful day!

[certainlynotthebestpianist]

I especially loved the part, where the viola was given the melody. It's such a beautiful, yet so underrated instrument... always in the shadow of violins and cellos, although equally (if not even more) amazing

[stevenbradley]

The musicality in this performance is phenomenal!

[Reallifeamusings]

I play your music in our toddler classroom of 1-3 year olds and they love it. Your music brings so much peace to their day.

[dominicmesh]

The amount of sheer talent in one room is preposterous

[shirley_grace]

I love how you used different ways of playing the strings to get the depth of the instrumentation in the original. So well done.

[SkyKing]

I've never seen Patrick use sheet music. That's incredible in itself!

[jairoalves]

Here in Brazil enjoying your talent. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[hanwong]

This is spell binding! The way the harmonies blent so purely, the phrasing, the emotion - it made me cry. Keep up the good work, Brooklyn Duo and Dover Quartet! ❤️❤️

[Mona_RM]

Four minutes take you to another world .. I love you 🎼♥🇩🇿

[arthurbutlerpresents]

The original brought a 😢; however, the majestic swath of emotion within the music revealed by these musical painters--without the words, as wonderful as they are, to distract me--made me spontaneously 😭

[nlee]

Imagine being this talented. Have missed you guys.

[kanavsharma]

Brooklyn duo, how many times will you rob me off my heart? I have just one! Show some mercy 🙏

You are kind 😘

[recruitmore]

Welcome back! We’ve missed you! What an amazing way to make your come back with Dover Quartet! 👏👏👏

[barborabaxova]

This is total masterpiece!!! thank you for this kind of music, my heart is melting.
