BT (ft. JC Chasez) - Simply Being Loved (Somnambulist) [Official Music Video]

[@dinosaursinloveeee]

I was 19 when this came out and now I'm 38, married & a mom. But whenever this song comes on, I'm back to being a 19 year old driving my car back from the beach at 3 am & feeling free.

[@funeats8201]

Omg same age here 😂 No marriage, no kids and still feeling free but I have other problems. Life sure is funny though, and far stranger than I realized when I was young.

[@mana574]

This song also came out when I was 19. the elders at the time always said I had my whole life ahead of me. the world was still this exciting place with infinite possibilities. Now it’s a dystopian waking nightmare in its final days. When I play this song I can time travel back to that happy place.

[@extremeillyricumaeroclub5871]

I was 19, in novembre 38, now have a little son, piano teacher,fly paragliding 🤪😂😂 go for fishing, when hear this music can do some crazy and danger manouvers in the air(there it is safer than in a ground) 😉 enjoy the life peoples , best regards from Albania

For all the people crapping all over BT for this song, the guy is a seriously accomplished electronic musician with a slew of good songs. Don't hate on the guy because he has a few pop tunes.

[@gerardopena2999]

demerit5 He Musicalize the Movies like Fast&Furious 1 .He is in the next level!

[@sarahbaybordi711]

People who diss on popular things are essentially dissing on good things, aren't they? We can all agree that popular does not ALWAYS equal good, but sometimes, and often, it does. So...viva la pop.

[@stevenduvall2549]

I love his pop tunes. This production is very sophisticated!

[@antemisura601]

This was my favourite track from the days

[@PeugeotStuff]

BT was entered into the Guinness Book of World Records for his song "Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved)". This song was recognized as using the largest number of vocal edits in a song (6,178 edits).

[@To-mos]

He made his own stutter edit plugin for iZotope so he doesn't have to do it by hand now. www.izotope.com/en/products/stutter-edit.html

[@Blackstarroblx]

I love this song!

[@dixieabattoir5201]

6 year later still true 🤍🤍

[@dennisbenjamin3846]

Cliche saying "it was ahead of it's time" but it's totally true

[@Midekai]

I remember first hearing this in DDR. I remember being shocked they netted a BT tune, but I've been a fan even before that. I don't mind the pop style it has either. The guy is so talented and versatile. Takes me back to the times where I thought I'd be young forever. Mid 30s now.

[@livedell8708]

Ddr definitely brought me here

[@madamedutchess]

No idea how any of BT's videos don't have millions of views. He was the godfather of Trance in America in the 90s and did some INSANELY pioneering music production techniques in the 2000s/2010s

[@MIkeDaBBoy]

Replayed this song on DDR Extreme more times than I can count. Good times.

[@mmmagicmmmike]

Hearing this always takes me back to a simpler time :(

[@user-ur9wy1lt8z]

The days when this used to be played on music channels

[@Santana_Art]

Yes it’s harder to listen to these songs the older I get.

[@WinterandNoodle]

Yeah back in 2002 when nothing went wrong in the world, such as the towers fallin--Wait a minute

[@Arc-Tempo21]

Mood!

I LOVE me some BT baby!! AND...JC CHASEZ cameo....how precious and loved and happy for this ...Thank you, Mr. Brian Transeau....love you BOTH so much since I was younger.....GODSPEED!!! XOXO LOVE JC CHASEZ!!

3:13 JC Chasez enters video, but he is singing backup and on every chorus.

Electronic-Boy Productions lol that's sad

[@FaithfulHorrorhound]

I've been listening to this song for over a decade and I never knew that. Then again, never heard of JC Chasez.

@@FaithfulHorrorhound Do yourself a favour and do some research on JC Chasez, you won't be disappointed

[@CyberEnigma]

Absolutely timeless masterpiece. I can't believe this is almost 20 years old!

[@prabhugautham]

Golden days back to be cherished. What an era it was the present is filled with hate, war, fast paced life etc.

[@JiaPia3]

This song seems to have all my memories in it jammed together. I hadn’t thought of this song in over a decade. I danced to this, sang to this, jammed to this. I always loved BT and his work back in the day.

[@nickmaestro]

Yeah, I heard about this song from DDR Extreme on my PS2 the other day, playing 2 hours straight on the dance pad. The PS2 ones are the best. I never really connected with the ones that came out for the Wii. I've got DDRMAX 1 and 2, DDR Extreme 1 and 2, and SuperNova 1 and 2. Just gotta get my hands on some of the others. They totally rock!

[@TashaXKaa]

can I just say I like this song SO freaking much? and that BT's kinda cute?

[@PaladinswordSaurfang]

no you cannot.

[@demerit5]

Women like BT.

[@au5music]

I dont think you people really understand how incredibly innovative and talented Brian really is.

[@ravishingelite]

I use to be OBSESSED with this song as a kid! Haven't heard it in years and I still remember the words. Its still catchy but not something I would have on repeat like before (Being a NSYNC fan and J.C. being in the vid did make me love it more)

[@michaelmontano4280]

ravishingelite I wish I was obsessed with this song when I was a kid, if I knew about it then.

[@SanrioHorror]

Me fucking toooo. My dad would put it on but i never new the artist.

[@Ultralocothedragon]

Recently developed mine after hearing this in a Arby's.

[@AF_1892]

Oh please stop! BT created the computer software/hardware to make this. He is brilliant. When you reach that level of awesome the "hand dancing" is totally automatic. I am afflicted w it and I don't care. I can only do it because I understand the musical physics behind a song. No I didn't go to music school. But all the big sciences. I TA'd chemistry and physics when they still allowed cool st*t.

[@morganredes7423]

This is one of my favorite BT songs - always will be!

[@sidearmsalpha]

Thankfully I first heard this song while listening to a local college radio station back in the early 2000s and that's how I discovered BT.

[@rainstorm193]

Going to see BT tomorrow night, can't wait!!!!

[@GurlPrincess]

There is some intense "jazz hand" action going on in this video!

[@brolysama5147]

U know it 🤙❤️

[@AF_1892]

I have the same problem/gift. If I need to dance like an Orchestral conductor then I cannot turn it off. I hate that getting older I can't do all the breakdancing tricks I can do forever. There is an age limit to getting served by a no hands backflip guy from a dance crew. He nailed the landing. It was in Dallas TX @ S4

[@AGeorge-d6d]

I'm dying! He doesn't know what to do with them!!!

[@auditorygroove]

BT is the ULTIMATE!!!! Not many can ever step to this man. Not only is he the whole package but his music has been one of the greatest inspirations to me as an artist. I simply LOVE him in a completely non homosexual way. Auditory Groove 2012 P.L.U.R.

[@AFK337]

Still a banger after all these years.

[@yourfavscrub2802]

Showing my age here lol But I stumbled across this gem back in 2008 while searching for a different song from the movie Never Back Down. Been in the playlist every since then.

[@saylerstrengthsystems4345]

The song that got me into the electro/trance genre. BT is a legend

[@cubgeek]

Fully agreed. I've seen him four times, and the sheer amount of energy he exudes on stage is phenomenal.

[@Julie-hu5kb]

I’m such a fan of BT or Brian Transeau as he known This man is genius helped and worked with Christian Burns he’s a good person too this song has stutter edit in it

[@jonnuanez7183]

This song is going on 20 years old and still sounds like the future. Brian Transeau was just too far ahead of everyone else. This is proof of that.

Lock this up in a vault. A classic tune

[@desmund2011]

The most vocal edits in a single recording is 6,178 by producer Brian Transeau (USA) on his track 'Simply Being Loved (Somnambulist)', released in August 2003.

I heard it on DDR and have loved it since then, I believe is DDR Extreme, same with Aye Yo Captain Jack

[@michaelmontano4280]

EcchiSamurai Me too

[@michaelmontano4280]

EcchiSamurai DDR Extreme is where you hurt simply being loved DDR Extreme 2 is where you heard ayo Captain Jack

[@michaelmontano4280]

EcchiSamurai also DDR brought me here and I would love to share a story with you as well 3 years ago one day after school I was about to play on my PS2 I was looking through my game pile I came across this one unusual disc, in my head I was thinking where did this come from? So I took it out of the pile and I asked my mom about it and she said her friend Rina had brought it and it turned out to be DDR I had no knowledge of the game and I've never played it before so when I started playing it I was playing all through the song you know following the arrows that go with the songs as they played you know well I came across this one song, actually I came across a whole bunch of other songs that I wasn't familiar with at all and some songs I was familiar with but probably haven't heard in a long time such as move your feet by junior senior etc but this one in particular anyway I came across this song called simply being loved so I played the song and you know just follow the arrows on your controller that showed up on the TV once I got done with the song I was surprised because I never heard that song before and so several days later during advisory I got on one of the computers looked up the song and after I watched the music video it said the year it came out and the record company that produced it, anyways I was more concerned about the year it said 2003 was the year it came out and I was like wow 11 years ago? I was 5 YEARS OLD! when this shit came out. So I'd play the song many more times whenever I played DDR . So that's how I fell in love with the song.

[@michaelmontano4280]

EcchiSamurai if I had paid attention to what was going on around me back then I would have known about that song a long time ago
