I Dreamed I Dream [Sonic Youth cover|remold + VHS Tape Loop]

*All sounds made from analog synthesizer/drum machine, feedback loop, looper/effects processor, noises, and human voice. Recorded using digital multitrack recorder, arranged and mixdown using DAW.

- the video is a VHS tape loop from a broken VHS cassettes (we combine 3 tapes, cut and splice them together, no measurements at all, but a long loop). To make things worst, we draw some random shapes and figures on the reel to add effects. We help the player by pulling the reel to rotate the loop because it gets stuck from time to time, the result is really messed up :)

Probably we cover this song because we are so amazed that we think this track by Sonic Youth was ahead of its time, considering it was written in 1982, it felt like we're listening to some triphop song from the late 90's... Though the tuning of their guitar here is standard and the sounds really differs from their noise-lofi-punk-esque aesthetic which they've known for and we like, the dark-ish downtempo and experimentation here still mesmerizing.

Lyrics -

Note: The lyrics is slightly differs from original, we add some word and subtract a few phrases.

[Ego]

Look before you leap, okay?

Do you read me?

The day we spent, go on...

The dream...

Shit.

Shift...

Fucking youth, working youth

Fucking youth, working youth

Shift.

Do you read me? Do you read me?

The day go on, the dream

Shift.

Fucking youth, working youth

Fucking youth, working youth

Fucking youth, working youth

Fuck, work

Shift, shit

Fucking youth, working youth

Fucking youth, working youth

Shift, shit

May all your dreams come true

The day we spent go on and on

Shift.

May all your dreams come true

The day, go on

Shift.

Fucking youth, working youth

Shit.
