Slowdive - I Saw the Sun (1992)

[MrWownousernamesleft]

ew @ all the haters on this video......................BES­T SONG OF THE 90'S BY FAR. FUCK NIRVANA. FUCK PEARL JAM. THIS SONG ROOLS.

[IStehSHIT]

FuckinSantaz you know who I am, and you know I told you some year ago or so how this was my all time favorite youtube video. That still counts.

[firedrap]

from which album does this song?

[messthetics]

Just noticed that the video clips are from The Flaming Lips- She Don't Use Jelly? The Stone Roses 'Fools Gold' and 'Nirvana's 'Come As Your Are'. Do I get ten points?

[hydra]

would you mind uploading it or sending via email? i love this version of the song

[FuckingStanz]

Ya'll peep the high quality version I put up or I'll break your legs.

[kingalow1]

slowerdive is cool too

[VenomousSixx]

i adore this.

[Debaseme]

looks like there was some clips of nirvana "come as you are "

[jjhilarious]

This video version sounds different to the bootleg copy? Did you alter it at all?

[FuckingStanz]

@jjhilarious Yeah, the pitch and some modulation.

[gohawkeyes529]

@FuckingStanz Would you mind sending your version to me via email or posting it somewhere it can be uploaded? Really beautiful.

[beastieboyzx]

algo tranquilo pero seguro que es mas cercano al drem pop con influencias space rock

[ThePotatoSackers]

Wow. This is beautiful.

[skulldrix]

Best song to orgasm to while dying.

[lunarsiege]

i hope everyone knows this has been slowed down and that this song in its tru form is in a much higher key. i think i like it like this better though.

[eldinbega]

Great tune and not so rare actually, but your version is "slowed down", it has the wrong pitch ;)

[kreep182]

@eldinbega i think this track was released on an unofficial album of unreleased tracks. i just dont get how thats possible. if they never released them, then who did?

[FlorrieDugger]

@kreep182 I know that soundtrack for I'm the Elephant, U Are The Mouse is also worth looking for. I found a copy on ebay a long time ago on ebay that wasnt cheep, it was a factory style silver cd not burned and claimed to be an official release because it was a silver cd not burned but I still dont think it was. Maybe I will look for Rachels email and ask her about the bootlegs and if they ever plan to get an official release.

[FlorrieDugger]

@kreep182 They are the outtakes from the Souvlaki album. Lot's of artists have songs they record for albums that never make it to the final cut. These outtakes and demos have been around for as long as I can remember. Only ever released on bootlegs. Who was the original source who leaked the outtakes I'm unsure of. It could of been the band or someone from the studio. you could always send Rachel an email and ask her yourself. I sent her one years ago, and she replied with a very nice email.

[IStehSHIT]

@FuckingStanz hah! that was me like a moth ago, if you really want to know, this is still my favorit video on youtube. and i still think you are a genious for puting this toghether.

[FuckingStanz]

@IStehSHIT Right on, good sir.

[Varldsligist]

which version is this? I can't seem to find it anywhere. I would rip it straight from youtube, but the quality is too poor. Is this the demo version of the song?

[Graemetashe]

I DIGG =]

[evilradist]

This is really slow SLOWDIVE ))) LOVE!!!

[DaseinJonLucas]

well, im actuatlly thinking u did it on pervous (yes i have a slowmind lol) either way its great, just thoug it wouldbe nice to respect the actual track bpm

[DaseinJonLucas]

hey, i you did this, why the audio track is pitched down?? if this were you it would be nice to re-render it! justt sayin, about the vid itself, its awesome :)

[jcatjoey]

Being a fan of all that is shoegazer, I could listen to this all day, of course, it wouldn't hurt to be on a menu of different drugs, but even w/o that, this particular music has an undeniable Cocteau Twins influence bordering seriously on plagarism. We loved Guthrie and Frazier and troup but to directly steal their sound...

[IStehSHIT]

comon, do you actually get the same feeling from listening to ct as from listening to slowdive? i love both the bands, and if you know sonting about music you will know the diferrence between copying sond or "integrety" and useing a tqunice. what slowdive has done apart from lots of bands out there was creating their own soundscape. If you coulnd use tequnics that others used before then youd have to stop useing guitarrs and anything but you imagination. this doesnt sound like ct.

[stillilllife]

@jcatjoey I really, really love this song, but haven't been able to really get into Cocteau Twins music yet, so if you could recommend me some songs of theirs which are in the same vein as this song I'd appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

[PlanesinJune]

Is that the Stone Roses around 2 minutes in? And Slowdive? Awesome!

[luraske]

0:55 that's "come as you are" from nirvana. Nice video ;)

[kingalow1]

Dude - a slowed down demo? haha. - wrong band vid too - nice work - you jive turkey...

[NWforager]

@illegalprogram ....one of the best comebacks i'v heard in a while FS =D . I love the video mashup you'v done here.

[GhostOfPaley]

Fail troll is fail.

[hathigmonorow]

Lil wayne sucks and so does all that other worn out r&b gangsta bullshit pushed by cocksucking old record execs on braindead popteens. Loser.

[pollypatron]

you seriously dont belong here...

[IndieComedyGroup]

lol.

[FakeUsername54321]

lol. fail.

[tajgooba]

all the albums sound the same... a jumbo jet crashing in slow motion... I loved seeing these guys in the club in Santa Barbara, California in '92

[comusic]

what slowdive album should i get that most accurately depicts this band is, in most opinions, best? i'm new to them

[honeypower]

All three, and the EPs.

[eric1012wi]

I love it. We have The Flaming Lips in the opening seen.

[evilplonker]

this track is played too slow compared to the 'correct' version.

[john1120]

this song makes me zone out.

[pussyface]

where is this song from? i dont' have it yet, and i thought i had all the major slowdive releases. title? year? record label?

[seascout]

this is from I Saw the Sun. It was never released

[hydra]

dude just do google blog search and type in i saw the sun. it was an unreleased demos and b-sides/

[XxsilentninjaxX]

I Saw the Sun is an amazing album.. I have it and love like every song on it.

[edwould8]

Am I wrong or in this video we can see bits of I Wanna Be Adored by Stone Roses?

Anyway, amazing song. Love slowdive.

[dmich12]

you're not wrong, theres clips from 'come as you are' by nirvana as well

[dsfretagord]

Why aren't there any bands like this left?

[FOXHOUND111491]

its a dif generation bro. its all rap n shitty rock now

[hikupoopoo]

its a bummer i cant believe something this noisy and expiremental was on mtv thats fucking crazy

[talktal]

there are bands that try to be like this today, but they cant really compare to the original. sweden has a decent shoegaze scene right now

[denveraic]

Good song. I never knew who these guys were til right now. I just downloaded after hearing this. I also read about them on Wikipedia. I hear they loved the Smiths, I also do.

[Blacklightroom]

when music WAS music ...hummmm...

[LulzAtYourFace]

I like how the audio is all screwed up, makes it sound really distant, like a faded memory or something.

[kicksex]

love this song..one of the first few i ever heard by them....but the one i have sounds a bit different like reproduced maybe....

i bought souklavi and its excellent just wish there was a lyric sheet...need to download their lyrics..peace, lej

[MorphinxX]

sometimes i wish i'd live under their same skies..so tat i will understand in their creating of songs,to what makes the mystery,

[FuckingStanz]

Never. This comment section is under my dictatorship.

[allthiseverything]

sooo beautiful

[Sean2046]

there's another version of this song. featured it in my latest video, personally i like it better. this version isn't bad though.

[gspotgaz]

This isn't on an album is it?

[electroplate]

love it. the track sounds even more hypnotic slowed down.

[PERUVIANMETALMUSIC]

How is this song rare?

Is one of their most famous

[djstarsign]

it is rare. i was a huge fan of slowdive when they were still together, this wa never released. it may be more familiar to the p2p fans , but this was not one of their most famous tracks, believe that.

[lunarsiege]

i've listened to them for yrs too.i like the way the audio is screwed up.may they forever remain obscure.

[tangokuningas]

alright thanks!

[tangokuningas]

hey stanz fucking awesome vid and song! whats that first band btw? i can regonise the others are nirvana and stone roses but whats the first one?

[bizarreoutsider]

How many accounts have you had by now? I'm glad this dreamy track is back, but I'm apparently gonna have to make some changes on my rekluziv account.
