Release

Before the Primetime Emmy Awards, Lucas decided to rest and spend some time in New York for a few days before heading to Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming.

Lucas doesn't need to worry about finances; he has several hundred thousand dollars in his bank account, thanks to his earnings from the recently concluded film project, "Midnight in Paris." This financial security allows him the luxury to relax and unwind.

During his few days in New York, before setting off on his travels, Lucas kept a heartfelt promise to Liza's friends by visiting them in the cancer ward at Bellevue Hospital.

Reflecting on the past year, it's clear Lucas hasn't had much time to rest. Since arriving

into this world, he's been laser-focused on his acting career. From his early days as Dylan in "Modern Family" to his gripping role in the indie film "127 Hours" as Aron Ralston, followed by his turn as Arthur in the potential blockbuster "Inception," and not forgetting his part in the series "Seven Kingdoms," which later became "Game of Thrones." Then there's his recent work in the indie film "Midnight in Paris" as Gil. Beyond acting, Lucas has been busy with music, bringing over songs from his previous life, signing a deal with Big Machine Records, and preparing for the release of his "Knight" album. All of this hard work means Lucas hasn't had much downtime, yet it has helped his name start to ripple through Hollywood. His role in "127 Hours" caught the eye of film aficionados, while "Modern Family" made him a familiar face among general viewers. Even though Lucas knows he's not yet a household name, his dedication over the last year surely earns him some well-deserved rest.

Now, Lucas is in Wyoming, embracing a much-needed break. Surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of Yellowstone National Park, he finds peace away from the cameras and studios. Each day, he immerses himself in the natural wonders, from the majestic geysers to the abundant wildlife, reminding him of the world's beauty beyond the silver screen. This time in Wyoming offers Lucas not just rest, but a moment to reflect on his journey and the paths yet to explore. As he breathes in the fresh mountain air, Lucas feels rejuvenated, ready to face whatever his next act might bring.

While Lucas takes a well-deserved break, traveling across the picturesque landscapes of the USA — whether it's hiking through lush trails, soaking in the serenity of mountain vistas, or lounging on sunny beaches — his music career is hitting a new note. On July 25, 2010, his album "Knight" was released by Big Machine Records, marking a significant milestone.

Discussions about Lucas's album "Knight" began cropping up on Yahoo! and various social media platforms. The album, featuring songs like "Perfect," "The Scientist," "Wonderwall," "Someone You Loved," and "Everglow," sparked curiosity among listeners. Lucas, while only modestly known at this time, had previously caught the public's attention with a viral clip from "Modern Family" Season 1, Episode 4, where he, as Dylan, performed "Perfect." This video alone amassed over 5.1 million views in just a few months in YouTube, highlighting a growing interest in his musical talents.

The conversation around "Knight" on social platforms and music forums often revolves around the intriguing blend of heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies. Fans and new listeners alike are drawn to the emotional depth and authenticity Lucas brings to his songs, with many speculating about the personal experiences that inspired them.

In the Yahoo! Music forum, discussions about Lucas's "Knight" album bubbled up rapidly. One user exclaimed, "Just listened to the 'Knight' album by Lucas—wow! 'The Scientist' brings back so many emotions from '127 Hours.' Honestly, I didn't expect that level of depth from him."

The thread quickly filled with enthusiastic responses. "Totally agree! First saw him as Dylan in 'Modern Family.' That clip of him singing 'Perfect' went viral for a reason. He's genuinely talented."

Another group of Lucas fans chimed in, "Is anyone else totally captivated by 'Someone You Loved' and 'Everglow'? They're the new tracks on Lucas's album and they're hauntingly beautiful. It's a side of him we've never seen before."

Over on Twitter, where fans of various celebrities converge to share their latest obsessions, the sentiment was just as fervent. One tweet read, "Has anyone else had 'Wonderwall' on repeat this morning? Lucas's new track is stunning. #LucasKnight #KnightAlbum"

On Twitter, fans couldn't stop praising Lucas's rendition of "The Scientist" featured in the film "127 Hours." One tweet exclaimed, "#Lucas's 'The Scientist' at the end of 127 Hours was a masterpiece. The song alone adds a whole new dimension to the film's conclusion. Now that it's on the #Knight album, you've got to give it a listen!"

Lucas's fanbase on Twitter also fell in love with tracks like "Someone You Loved." Its catchy melody and poignant lyrics left a strong impression, leading many to recommend the album to friends and family enthusiastically.

Moreover, even those who weren't initially fans of Lucas began to take notice due to the buzz created by his existing fans. Curiosity was piqued by the song "Perfect," compelling newcomers to explore the "Knight" album further. Upon listening, these new listeners became intrigued by Lucas, driven to learn more about him online. To their surprise, they found Lucas absent from social media, his IMDb page listing only his roles in "Modern Family" and "127 Hours," alongside mentions of unreleased projects like "Inception." Despite his relatively low Hollywood profile, those who had discovered his music yearned to see more of Lucas Knight beyond his compelling songs.

Clearly, Lucas's music resonated across platforms, highlighting his diverse fan base and showcasing his evolving artistic range. Whether it was seasoned fans from his acting days or newcomers drawn in by his music, the conversations underscored a collective appreciation for his new work, bridging his on-screen charisma with his musical expressions.

As Lucas continued his travels, he remained blissfully unaware of the growing acclaim his album was receiving. He had chosen this time to disconnect, to immerse himself in solitude and the natural beauty surrounding him, away from the constant buzz of the industry. His journey was a deliberate step back from the fast-paced world, a time for self-reflection and grounding.
