"The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows" was the opening shot from Deja Entendu, Brand New's second album, released as its first single on October 6, 2003, on seven-inch vinyl in the UK. A taut, anxious rush of a song, it became the band's first single to chart anywhere: No. 39 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 37 on Billboard's Alternative Songs, and No. 4 on the UK Rock & Metal chart, where it hung around for 33 weeks.
Then Brand New moved on. As their music drifted somewhere less accessible, they mostly dropped it from their sets, pulling it out only now and then, until it rejoined the regular setlist on their 2025 reunion tour. Stereogum reckoned it may be the band's most lasting mark on the mainstream.
