Forest For The Trees - Dream

[frsfca]

I've been looking for this song forever! Love it! So underrated! Thanks for posting!

[ponabisings]

It's the chorus that haunted me for so long. Finally found the song. It's weirder than I remember, but that's a dream for you.

[Ellidegg]

This album was a major part of my youth :D

[Yif]

Where can I buy this fantastic song please !?

[LaZafra1]

I remember the song, its ok but a failed attempt at bagpipe rock, if you want to hear some that didn't fail listen to Ashely MacIsaac

[ken131]

I want to go back to the 90s :'-(

[iYEMTheGreatest]

I REMEMBER THIS BACK IN THE 6TH GRADE!! OMG!! THIS VIDEO AND SONG IS SOOOOO UNDERATTED!!

XD

[OptimusOne]

I had the opportunity to meet Karl and his wife, such nice people!

[sledgehammer1972]

a great use for bagpipes at last!!!!!

two things missing from modern music: use of bagpipes and use of cowbells!!!!

[iampeeay01]

I love it... nice video+ nice song = perfect!!! :)

[linedanccelts]

I remember this song back in the 90s and it was different but I loved the song!!!!!!!!!!

[jim5582]

Wow I can't believe I've never heard of this song! I heard it at the end of the movie "All's Faire in Love.." XD

[1341300]

I love it I love it I love it !

[mysourcessay]

I have been trying to remember what this song was for years The only part I can ever remember was the chorus!

[ninjachipzanuff]

@mysourcessay same here

[PigDestroyer0099]

[minneiroo]

Very Good !!!!!

Belo Horizonte, Brasil

[rustmuffin]

Still my favourite album/artist to discover for the first time. Still inspires me. Still incredibly fun and fresh to listen to.

[PunchAPeach]

Feels fantastic to find this song after 13 years.

[greensladyful]

Its Fantastic really~

[musicIuvr]

love the bagpipes lol i remember back to freshman year of high school....it was all about this song, chumbawamba, and maybe some prodigy LOL

[bube0789]

BECKKKKKKKK!!!!!



[ivornovello985]

what amazing wool pants!

[TheThyMaster4]

My dad got this album when I was 7 when it first came out been listening to it ever since greatest album of all time especially when tripping I don't think anything has ever described that state of mind as well as forest for the trees has

[spoon1122]

DAAAAMNN This song takes me back, ohhh those days!!!!

[bonngunk1]

this song will make a big comeback again i predict



[hermanovitsj]

Great to find this song again. Heard it a lot on Dutch radio in the 90s. The guy behind this used to produce some of Beck's early stuff, like Loser, etc. Beck is also doing guestvocals on Forest for the Trees' only album.

[infIikkt]

this top comment guy is a faggot

[sandmarch7]

@infIikkt which one? Possibly u are mistaking people for yourself... You must be what they call an ASS!!! :D

[akashaman]

this song so fuckin rox , thats it !!

[Badnewsdude]

Bought the cd used on eBay for 1.99! Stoked. Couldn't find a download. well worth the two bux

[alorettagay]

this is one awesome song..unique..you can get carried off to the distance..

[subamarillo]

Didn't Lady Gaga sing this tonight on Saturday Night Live? ;)

[johnnymo4000]

@subamarillo Yeah she did she tends to ruin everything about the music industry along with almost everyone these days

[subamarillo]

Didn't Lady Gaga sing this tonight on Saturday Night Live? ;)

[amary7940]

You can see why this song was popular for a while. It's very catchy!

[vinsimjos]

superrok420 ... is my kinda guy

[LanakilaIesu]

The only problem with this song is that it's about four hours too short! lol

[3195121]

@LanakilaIesu Miałem kiedyś kaseciaka i próbowałem zrobić extended mix. Trwał jakieś 60 minut :D

[DubiousMixer]

My last vinyl record :)

[MalkavianWeezil]

5 people were bitter about only being the second person.

[deathcabie7]

that is kevi from 1000 clowns rapping. For sure he aint the greatest rapper in the land but still love that song!!!!!

[baglemonkey]

crap, no sorry, extreme mutant green elephant crap with bits of peanuts in it, they need to get a real job, like working in mcdonalds serving the masses

[08techgrad]

I've been looking for this song for years. Wasn't this also a theme for a TV show that dealt with entering people's dreams around the same time?

[mrwarped]

how come i can't find this on itunes?

[johnoliver74]

@mrwarped buy the entire cd on amazoon ... it is really amazing ! luvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvved it so much

[MrCaduceo]

smoke weed

[Nimue32]

Thank you so much for posting this song! I've been looking for it for years. I used to have the album and I lost it years ago... Im a huge fan of bagpipes, so I love this song.

[oOLG4UsOo]

Whoa.. That's cool, I may be 15 but even I can see this is cool stuff

[AFlockOfBeagulls]

@oOLG4UsOo Im 14. Beat you by a year.

[Olaunis]

i was 12 when I discovered this song and it thrilled me so much, that still now I remember it with a BIG smile. I dont belong entirely to 90s generation, but I also knew a lot of music from that time, and I think it was such a great decade.

[antoinette5000]

excellent memories. long live the 90s!!

[mikeshorin]

YEAHH! @ superrok420

My high school sweetheart told me never to play guitar around her. I knew it was time to dump her then, but of course she ended up dumping my loser-ass. (Being a loser for not dumping HER!!)

[Fractal40]

90s music cant be beat, end of story

[tajavi]

My friend and i had MTV2 on one morning in '97, coming down off an acid trip. This video came on right as the dawn sunlight came through the window. It was like the sun wrote a song and beamed it directly through our TV into our crispy eyeballs. The 90s ruled, harder than it's even possible to explain anymore. GenX pride, baby!

[huggybear921]

who the hell is the one person who doesn't like this. explain yourself.

[rinifus]

I'm hoping they were so mesmerized with the song, they pressed the wrong button... right? :p

[LondonUnderground186]

I discovered it during a summer trip in San Francisco in '97 while listening to KITS 105.3 "Live 105"

[Colossus3999]

I remeber this when I was in High School. Gen X forever!!!

[paddedpencil]

oh god i remember this from when i was like 9

[teddywilde]

Thank you for posting this! The bagpipes were all I could remember from this song--I was PD at a radio station when this came out, and loved it at the time. Oh, and I could also remember that this song was used in the TV commercial for the Clooney/Kidman movie "The Peacemaker".

[teddywilde]

@teddywilde Let's just say trying to remember/find this was driving me nuts...

[poster108]

My music teacher at school played this for us (For the bagpipes part, it's a pipes class) and I heard it, jumped up and I was like, "WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT SONG" This song is sick.

[ichibond007]

What's with the wigs on the chorus singers lol?

[poster108]

I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THE BAGPIPE TUNE IS CALLED!!!! ><!!!!!

[MrSydneyKing]

Wicked. Does anyone know where I can download this song?

[coryskawaffle]

@MrSydneyKing

letmegooglethatforyou.maybe/no­t

[MrSydneyKing]

@coryskawaffle cool thanks. I've had it cranking on my boom sounds all day!

[poster108]

Love this song so much!!

[a656415]

The 90's had the best 1 hit wonders of the 20th century

[ishuaia]

Like 10 years without hearing this awesomeness

Dreammmm dreammm dreammmm...

Best video ever!!! Big ups from Panama

[davalilloster]

OMG!. I have to say the same!. I remember that I used to see this video on MTV Latinamerica and I just loved it!. Years went by and I never heard this song again!. It was never pretty comercial in Venezuela but I allways loved it. I`ve been looking for it for so many times and I just found it two days ago!. When it says.... Life is but I dream... I understood Life is para dream... which in spanish would be ...La vida es para soñar.. Life is to dream.. My english was pretty bad!.

[Walrusknucklecorp]

i heard this song for the first time on the sonic tap radio channel "reality bites" last night. this song makes my day!

[cowcojames]

buenisima cancion, nunca la habia escuchado hasta hoy

[purrrsephone]

I used to absolutely ADORE this song when it came out, and completely forgot about it until today. It's been more than a decade since I heard it. My brain is having an orgasm right now. ^_^

[jonazoer]

me to i dont remember the name of the goup and the song is realy chingonaaaaaa!!!

[elementknight]

I have been trying to find this song for over 6 years. Its pretty hard to find a song with nothing but "dream" being the sole word in my memory.

[mutedisease]

had completely forgotten about this song!!!! Just remembered it after reading Beck´s Wikipedia entry. What a great song. They don´t make them like this anymore.

[mutedisease]

@mutedisease Heck I even remember some local radio DJ calling this the hip hop of the future. Poor guy, little did he know hip hop would become the shit it is now.

[cruise26]

Haha love it, Wow I thought I was the only one who loved this song. My brothers would look at me all weird when I would listen to this song. Now I know I'm not the only one who went through something like that..haha GREAT SONG!!!!

[FIDELCRUZCA]

IT´S AMAZING. SINCE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS SONG. MAKES ME FEEL COMFORTABLE. GOOD TO SEE THE VIDEO. GOOD MEMORIES.

[MrCaduceo]

THUMBS UP IF YOU SMOKE LOTS OF WEED

[6ixx]

@NEEDCARS Yeah, it's rap alright. You cretin.

[cappsoutlaw]

even pop was better in the 90's

[lilithbathory7]

I've been looking for this song for years!!! and I was hoping someday, someone felt the same way and rescued it from the box.

Thanks lot!!!

[chefmackenzie]

Bagpipes Rock !!!

[jedifarfy]

For the last 12, 13 years the chorus has been running through my mind. FINALLY I have found this song. AMAZING! :D

[benjaminboo]

@jedifarfy SERIOUSLY. it was the same for me too.

[phabbiola]

@jedifarfy I know!!

[bigoilsucks1]

Ditto - make it a DECADE and an extra 2 days for me!

[nimzosnite]

holy freakin crap. i have been looking for this song for a DECADE.

[mrwes77]

Earlier today I was in the third person

Where can I download this? I used to love this song.

[ichibond007]

I was only 8 when this song came out and LOVE it!

[redheadfairy2003]

cool

[AaronsEve]

Love how all the music from around the world is in this song and how they incorporated it into the video.

[SeriousCakes]

Been looking for this song for YEARS. Thank you :D

[MrCaduceo]

@NEEDCARS It's not rap idiot.

[nopillonombre]

the song SOOOO BAD

the rithm betwen good an bad

but the video ITS GREAT THE BEAST

[MrCaduceo]

@nopillonombre No, it is YOU that is SOOOO BAD. Stop projecting.

[nopillonombre]

its my opinion

who like its good

who dont ok

thats my opinion

[squidpants]

I remember this song, based on the bagpipes. That guy kind of looks like Ludacris

[kristinmarieevans]

I got this cd from Barnes and Noble like 15 years ago and it was hard to find then. Silver w/ black trees and lime green writing. AMAZING album if you can get your hands on it. I love their song algorhythm; but this is by far the best song.

[Mcbridester00]

thats my convertable karmann ghia that he is driving with his feet!

[music2thepeople]

@Mcbridester00

like you own that exact car from the video or the same model?

[Mcbridester00]

@music2thepeople that exact car, no joke, been sold on since, i remember them using it although i had never heard of them at the time, i have pictures and everything , happy times :)

[Powerman33]

I could never remember the name of this song. I always remembered it being in those trailers for "The Peacemaker" with George Clooney.

[chazmizzle]

incredible band. can't find their album anywhere though

[martysoulshine]

i have always loved this so much!! thanks!

[ludo1french]

C'est artistiquement po mal , mais c'est pas trop mon genre Miss love tralala

[jimmyboy1816]

Love this song, had it on cassette been looking for itunes too have it but no luck bought it on amazon.

[MrCaduceo]

@jimmyboy1816 Casette? how primitive!

[cutters10cks]

Brings me back to the 90s

[randeegrl79]

I loved this song! I use to listen to it all the time back in college.

[mrwarped]

I've been looking for this video for years but I could never remember the name.

[MrCaduceo]

@mrwarped Now that you've found it, do you feel that your comment is sufficient for the years of work and sacrifice you've dedicated towards searching for this video?

[mrwarped]

yes I can now die in peace lol

[CMVMic]

hhahahaha i feel u bro

[Baheena]

I've loved this song ever since I first heard it back in 1997. It's great to finally see the video that went with it!

[superrok420]

I remember telling my highschool sweetheart I loved this song and video. She looked at me weird. I knew it was time to dump her after that.

[UHNicolea]

@superrok420 She didn't see it! I loved this. For years I would sing it to myself at random times, lol.

[GoodBud45]

Good stuff. I love this song.

[superrok420]

Dude, the guy in the Lakers jersey looks like D Ali G.

[ianjsnyder28]

although i normally listen to bands completely different from this (Whitechapel, Lamb of God, and Job For A Cowboy just to name a few), i thought this was really cool. good song too.

[6904233]

excelenteeeee

[DHGroove]

This shit was 10+ years ahead of its time. Released now, I see this being a much bigger hit.

[qfmarsh64]

Now consider that it was all but done by 1993, but Carl Stephenson, the brains behind FftT (also the producer of Beck's "Odelay") had a nervous breakdown and backburnered this project until '97.

So it basically isn't 10 years ahead of its time, it's 15. Not just next-level shit, but like three or four levels.

[monica9965]

I agree this song was way ahead of its time. I mean bagpipes and a sitar; no one has the stones to do stuff like this. It's phuckin' genius!

[SpclOps20]

The blonde at 4:03 reminds me of one of my High School flings. Before I met her I actually thought dumb blonds were a myth.

[AlbaGoBragh]

less cowbell, more bagpipe

[bretttammi]

toke it up man

[dardoivan]

Awesome!

[bretttammi]

mad cow is injected when we are born

[PuzzlingEvidenceTV]

If a sound tree makes a cow spuum, does milk fall?

[MaximusDowns]

profound

[bretttammi]

when a tree falls full of spurm does it make a sound

[Berothsloth]

When a 10 year old is left alone in a room without supervision, does it make it sound? Fortunately, not that we can tell, but the fucker can still get on youtube and annoy the world with stupid comments. :(

[bretttammi]

she is such a good cow

[bretttammi]

my cow has more milk than yours

[bretttammi]

when i sit in a tree i wonder if it is going to fall

[hippi28]

this song is great i rmemeber this song being huge in ontario canada in the 90s . :) boy times have changed. society sucks shit now compared to what you used to be 10 15 years ago .. fear culture... ha

i laugh at your fearhehehe

"when i get up i dont know if im truely awake or if im still dreaming .. dream dream dream life is but a dream"

[OptimusOne]

Carl's a genius!

[devasic1]

OMG. I looked this up after checking out this site that lists the modern rock top 20 for every week of the 90s not knowing what it was. And YET I totally remember this video and song. That chorus hook with the ladies has been going through my head for these last 12 years! I feel like a piece of my childhood has been recaptured! lol

[nimzosnite]

@devasic1 dude, i finally went through an archive of mtv 120 minutes after years of having the chorus trapped in my head... only knowing "dream" and the melody. literally looked up anything that remotely seemed like it would be it, and i had a general idea of when it was released, between 93-97. when i finally happened upon the artist/title, i knew i had it. i blasted it for at least a day straight, makes me feel uplifted.

[ALEJOGOMEZ1]

excelente tema, unos de mis preferidos-from argentina

[dardoivan]

buenisimo, sos el primer argentino ademas de mi a quien le gusta esa banda, jeje, saludos!!!

[solovief]

All Time Fave

[MultiDan82]

Carl Stephenson is the man!

[morrisonbette]

My favorite version of Dr. Mac is on Fred Morrisons "Broken chanter" -

haven't heard this for years - I loved this song when it came out!!!!

[good2btheking]

This song is a classic any which way you look at it. I am surprised it did not go No-1 for the time it came out.

[mcjones19]

I was wondering if anyone else had even heard of this group. I was in high school when this song came out. It's fun. The cd is fun.

[ilovekbo]

oh god. I loved this song. I wonder how many copies this sold. I'm pretty sure this song was super unpopular, but somewhere I heard it and I loved it.

[Dmoney333]

haha i remember this song...actually heard Dr. MacInness' Fancy and it made me look this up!

[ChrisZ70]

The bagpipe sample is Eric Rigler playing the first part of a four-part hornpipe called "Dr. MacInnes' Fancy." If you want to hear the whole bagpipe tune, played by a world-class band, look up Simon Fraser University Pipe Band 1992.

[ceejeezy]

Actually, The bagpipes in this song are played by Aaron Shaw of the Wicked Tinkers. He was a member of Forest For the Trees. Just thought I would give that tidbit.

[ChrisZ70]

Right --- Aaron Shaw. I don't know why I said Eric Rigler! Pardon me. Thanks for the correction!

[music2thepeople]

@ceejeezy

great tidbit!

[asteraith]

What a great song. It's a shame more people don't know about the album. I hope some more songs get posted

[amessinger]

Thanks for posting this! Just one thing missing: the alarm clock song that finishes off the album version.

[amessinger]

Should've been "alarm clock sound" not "song." I cn tpye gud! :-P

[RussianFuHat]

wow... memories.. what is this? 97 or 98? I just thought of it randomly and looked it up... here it was.

[amessinger]

'97. I was half-way through college. One of the great overlooked songs of that decade.

[kruncytheklown]

I have it on tape, gotta find the CD. Yes, great, great album.

[3jays]

i love this song!!!! i remembering listening it ages ago...i lost the album do you know where i can get it? if not plz upload infinite cow :p

[RadDugan]

Ebay has the CD for $0.01.

[ReGreta9]

Thank you so much for posting this!!!!! I can't believe it. I love this song and video. Love practically the whole album. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
