FF8 - Cree Summer - Mean Sleep

[RebeccaBlackVirus]

some Van Hunt fans need to shut the fuck up and quit whining. They both wrote the song. Both got the credit they deserve. Now shut your pie holes and go to Van Hunt's version if you like it so much.

[Prisjek]

Van Hunt co-wrote this song with Cree Summer and Lenny Kravitz produced it...So Van Hunt sang his own song :) and to be honest I like Van Hunt's version more...

[mjjcng8958]

cree summers is the voice of every black cartoon from my generation. she also was the original singer for the theme song from as told by ginger which she voiced miranda.

[TheGemini4lyfe]

The mean sleep holds the tracks of my tears you gave me this crooked smile now you want me to pretend, pretend i won't you ought to know better!You can't hypnotize me with your split tongue. Aren't the false teeth you gave me enough, and your emotional, roller coaster. I had a mean sleep filled with arthritis and goveernment injections to change my blood and bring curses. The curse is on you though its just dressed up in a rotted garment.Molded by false memory syndrome.MEAN SLEEP but its okay!!!

[TheGemini4lyfe]

you gave me a mean sleep now you want me to come back from the dead like a zombie!! "mean sleep over you" now hurts coming back to life your gonna hate me!!smile!!First i will shut down my split personality you gave me. I had a mean sleep! I won't curse on this one its to awesome!I'm am clearing cobwebs and pushing ome.I don't need no other light.bittersweet, folding in and out. I'd still LOVE you back to life. The memory, i have to still that space and compartmentalize, the mean sleep !

[mzblessed1]

I ABSOLUTELY LOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG!! Thought I liked it when I heard the Van Hunt/Nikki Costa version but this is it right here!!!!!

[alwaysclassy62]

@mzblessed1 I agree. I thought I liked Van Hunt's version also, but I'm feelin' this one

[Rae273]

Van Hunt's version is better,I like that soulfull sound besides his version almost made me cry so he tugged at some emotions which is what you must do as an artist but the guitar solo is sick in this version

[NoPawn]

Where is the official video for this song? I have yet to find it on YouTube!

[myHEADisAtv]

@NoPawn Cree only had a video for Savior self as far as I know. Also check out her old band, Subject to change's album Womb amnesia

[NoPawn]

@myHEADisAtv Oh, okay. Because when I saw Lenny Kravitz's Behind the Music years ago, I thought there was a scene from a music video. If you go to "LK BTM PART 5" you can see it at :37. I actually have Womb Amnesia, and Subject to Change was a good band, but I think Cree might have been pushing herself too hard on that album. She was able to just calm down and get into herself with her solo.

[myHEADisAtv]

@NoPawn Oh snap, you're right! Now I wanna see it too!

[NoPawn]

@myHEADisAtv LOL THANK YOU! I KNEW I wasn't imagining things!!!!

[anko8aug]

i like lenny kravitz music

[natia1899]

This song touched me...

[natia1899]

I Love This Song;)

It's just Great.

[leggluver]

I was in ohio 1990's when I bought cree's album!

[GameBeats]

This song is still 1 of my favs..... i heard this song in 2001

[fatchickskinny]

This is still my favorite song of all time. I love the collab. And the message is so cool.

[mgalore]

the bass in this song is what changes it from van hunt and nikka . this version is more cleaner more harmony . nikka and hunt is more dramatic crescendo rises and falls just two different versions neither one better or worse just different like em both

[mstruthseeker100]

In response to lovelystars07 Van Hunt wrote this for Cree Summer. He recorded much in the same Prince did "I can't make u love me" which was written by Prince for Reba

[cornbreadramen]

I much prefer this version... All the things I liked about this song I didn't feel in the Van Hunt cover. The timing, the cadence... He is no Lenny. And even though Nikka's got some pipes she's no substitute for that lil pixie Cree. I just love that careless raspy twang. It's like what Sheryl Crow did to Sweet Child O' Mine. I didn't hate it; sounded pretty... but the emotion behind it was missing.

[fenderjones]

I fell in love with this song when I heard a snippet of it on Lenny Kravitz's "Behind The Music"

[KlassikMuzik]

I love the words of this song!!

[harmonicmenace]

Actually Van Hunt co-wrote it, and no offense to Cree & Lenny, but I see why. His version has MUCH more emotion.

[226526dannygirlxo]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!! I lip sink to it in my car and I never stop driving becuase I crank it and feel the wind in my face ITS AWESOME

[Gustofthewhitecrow]

Haha, this is pretty cool since Cree is a friend of mine and my ma's. plus i ff8 is just cool.

I like the other version of this song personally With Van Hunt Ft Nikka Costa But this is good too

[fatchickskinny]

I love the guitar solo in this song. It's sick! I hate that this song didn't get the attention it deserved.

Great song....

[romeoblue94]

this song is so sad but so romantic!!! the voices are wonderful... what a beautiful pair, lenny and cree summer!!!! lovely...

[SPS148669]

She voice lenne in FFX-2 as well but she had nothing to do with FF8 so he should be showing FF X/X-2 footage

[Lennykravitz5star]

Oh.. i missed this song, i love it! That video is beautiful, good job, thank you.

[SPS148669]

Diddn't she do the voice acting for Young Tidus in FF X. "Native American in Japanese game. LOL

[aact44]

nicely done....this video though???

[gijane28]

This is a great tune! Lenny Kravitz and Cree Summer who knew!

[LaTainaIndia]

Makes sense 'cuz they're connected through Lisa Bonet.

[pauloprata]

i really love this music...my 99 music!!!

[LaTainaIndia]

Thanks. Interpreting song is like interpreting poetry,

I love trying to decipher the meaning & hearing other people's views as well.

[cyper89]

this is a music to fuck or do a striptease =D

[benharperfan2]

This is one of thee most kick ass songs ever. Too bad The Work Group never promoted it back in 1999. It would have been a big hit. This song is sexy and the guitar part is fucking badass!!!!

[Shani84]

This is a good version of the song but I like Van Hunt's version the best!

[Bigleedog7]

I Agree ,,,

[vahustler777]

you know as much as i love this song, i feel like i don't know what it's about

[LaTainaIndia]

When you're missing someone & you have haunting dreams about them. You don't sleep well so it wasn't a kind/good sleep, it was a a mean sleep."It hurts coming back to life", it hurts to wake up & feel it fresh all over again. Your mind is your worst enemy when you're getting over someone."I'm folding into myself, who will find me under this mean sleep?", who can rescue you from your pain while your under such mental duress.

[vahustler777]

wow. thanks. that was very concise.

[mpolani1]

Well said...I can relate all too well...LaTainalndia....You're a very loving, compassionate soul...I feel it way over here...Peace & Blessings...Keep in touch

[LaTainaIndia]

Thank you , sincerely appreciated.

[vahustler777]

yes i must say, i am into deciphering music lyrics too, though I don't think I'm as good as you are. Respect. Are you a hip-hop head at all?

[LaTainaIndia]

Thanks. I have been wrong in the past though.

Am I a Hip Hop head?...

Hmm... I'm Puerto Rican, born & raised in Bushwick, Brooklyn in the 80's.

What do you think? ;-)

[ec02153]

Filipe and Joana are portuguese singers who made a (very good!) interpretation of this song. Check it out: watch?v=1yY49fLVeIY

[tisha812]

This song was written by Cree Summer and Van Hunt...produced by Lenny K....I like both versions.

[SquallCloud]

Well done!

[lovelystars07]

Van Hunt just did a cover of this song with Nikki Costa

[tashabot]

He didn't "just" do it, the cover's been around for a while...but I prefer the original version. :)

[nehcllessur]

Actually, he wrote this song with Cree. also Deliciously Down

[mwilloam]

@tashabot Van Hunt wrote the song ... so technically he was covering himself.

[isisvenomz]

@lovelystars07 Well, it's not "really" a cover. Van Hunt wrote the song.

[AceOfJon]

@lovelystars07 Actually... Van Hunts version is the original, he wrote it for Lenny and Summer.

[RAMBR0]

@AceOfJon Actually (don't you just love it when someone starts a response like that?) Van Hunt AND Cree wrote this song...so not entirely right there Ace. And (here I'm guessing) I bet Cree wrote the lyrics. Anywho...great song, great album, great artist (and damn that wah-wah guitar...suuuweeet!)

[ilovemonstersmusic]

@lovelystars07 Actually,, folks, Van Hunt wrote this. He covered his own song. Cree just recorded it first.

[ilovemonstersmusic]

@lovelystars07 Actually, Van Hunt wrote this for Cree's album. She just recorded it first.

[dazzling4decades]

[DanielaaaMM]

[lionoftroy]

[DanielaaaMM]

I'm watching :P I like better Filipe and Joana version but the original is great :)

[Slave4Anime]

Cree is a family name in my family because we're Cree Indians. Also I thought I was the only girl named Kaya until the MTV show named Kaya.

[tiana1017]

Cbruns71471 hit it right on the nail, neneh's buddy x is about lenny cheating on lisa.. i have the cd, at the end of the song she says romeo blue which was lenny's old stage name

and as far as vanessa cheating on lenny, what goes around comes around

[gijane28]

This is a great track. How come mainstream radio does not give new artists a chance. I have not even heard this on satelite.

[troystew]

Cree Summer is a Goddess! I just hope she continues to put out music!

[faye06]

I really like this song. Real cool vibe.

[Tay2525]

Hmmm, I heard the one Van Hunt did with Nikka Costa first. But when I was listening to it all I kept thinking was this reminds me of Cree Summer. *lol*

I like Cree's version though. :)

[matmacsug]

I always hear Elmyra when I hear Cree Summer... I can't unhear her...

[MykeTyson]

What is she up to nowadays? More cartoon voice work?

[tiana1017]

i cant send the link but go to this website, 3 w's mikkiwillis dot com then go to directory, videos, you'll see her latest video and you can check her out on myspace as well

[MykeTyson]

She is cute.

[lab8985]

Cree Summer's cool!
