Genghis Tron - "Relief" cover

I've been sitting on this cover for ages because I was so afraid I wouldn't be able to do it justice, so here's my best attempt! One of my favorite songs of all time from one of my favorite bands, and it feels especially relevant right now.
THANKS SO MUCH TO MY PATRONS!! I am blown away by your continued support and it truly inspires me to keep creating.

Love me some Longfield hardcore vocals. That's what actually introduced you to me years ago! You and Rob Scallon doing uke metal.

[@Ambar42]

Same.^^ The ukulele metal videos are classics.

[@shanetapp]

Been a fan since a pal that worked at a Madison, WI radio station, WJJO, invited me out to watch a battle of the bands style guitar contest that she won! lol.. (don't kill me Sarah ;) ) Was a fan back when her channel was "Sarahsmiles4u" :p So much talent.

[@philh98]

I miss that time 🙂🙂

[@yetinate8014]

Great seeing older Genghis Tron songs getting some love

[@fairboop]

exactly 2 years of waiting for it to be on spotify

[@misanthropizza]

Oh this is fucking great! My favorite Genghis Tron song and you didn't just do it justice, you elevated it.

[@GHRiz]

Justice? Holy shit Sarah! This is incredible. You really, really need to sing more. Please? Pretty please?

[@SarahLongfield]

Thank you!!! I sing a TON on my new album that is SO CLOSE TO BEING DONE but isn’t quite done lol😅🥲

[@GHRiz]

@@SarahLongfield Very looking forward to it.

[@philh98]

@@SarahLongfield I can't wait!

[@artisinventable]

i love you so much for covering this. Board Up The House was revelation for me

[@djbobesh23funkytownth3soun9]

Talking about goosebumps .. This kicks ass so much !!!

[@spankyjeffro5320]

GT is one of my favourite bands of all time, especially this album. Super cool to see someone else who loves them. I know nobody who likes them.

[@kineographBOT]

I thought I was the only one who remembered Genghis Tron. This was excellent!

[@jarshall2]

There's a new album, it's rad, but they've changed their style.

[@williamhalley7462]

@@jarshall2 No Way... Im checking this out now. Loved that band

[@boarderking133]

Same.

[@Midgetmunky13]

I listen to board up the house at least once every 3 months, a banger of an album.

[@workwellhypnosis]

Great job on the cover, and this was actually my introduction to Genghis Tron so I owe you for that. I also love that Meshuggah was listed in the credits as one of the patrons; I missed that back when I first saw this cover. Presuming that's the band and not an Internet handle, it's cool to see that sort of support and recognition from somebody like them. Pretty cool all around!

[@ZachPowers]

Two great gifts from this video; the absolute banger that was this song, and a rad new band to check out! Awesome work on the track and video, it turned out amazingly!

[@okevolutionviii]

This is wild, I used to listen to GT all the time back in '07-08. Also, I picked up one of your sig Boden 6 strings after owning a Prog NX 7 for a while and I love it.

[@johnnytmcq]

They released a new album in 2020. See You Next Tuesday just released a new record also, a few days ago.

[@okevolutionviii]

@@johnnytmcq Yeah, heard SYNT was doing some shows again. I saw them open for Winds Of Plague, Despised Icon and Suicide Silence in '07 then they seemed to disappear.

[@elumuchu]

1:50 i wasn't expecting that, amazing. Love your hair btw ♥

[@SarahLongfield]

Haha it’s been a min since I’ve done any screaming😅😅and thanks!!

[@birdrustler]

I've listened to this song for years, and this is a perfect homage. It's obvious you love it as much as I do.

[@wforbes87]

thanks for reminding me how much I missed this band, great cover

Been a big fan of the Tron since 2005, loving the cover, good job!

Wow, I'm completely in love with this video. Well done.

[@samanthastudios618]

Fan from Wisconsin here... you've inspired my life as a musician! Thank you so much!!

[@Frogstrap1965]

This is my favorite Genghis song. Excellent cover. Absolutely crushed it

[@carah.s.6854]

I never expected to see this song in my subscription feed, I’m so so glad you covered it! I looooove the album this is on

[@SonnyC]

One of the most slept on bands out there.

[@CC-qb9sm]

Wow! Just fantastic! Loved this! It was not something I was familiar with. As always Sarah, wishing the world sends only kindness your way! 🤠

[@miannekahkol9556]

Sarah this is amazing! Incredibly well done

[@jarshall2]

Woah! This song is an all timer. Meant a lot to me when it first came out, haven’t heard it in aaaages.

[@Eva-yw7xm]

Sarah you are so underrated. You are absolutely amazing!

[@Dajugames]

This is awesome! If you put this on spotify, then I'm going to jam it every day.

[@shaynebarrett9071]

This is flipping awesome great job Sarah! 🙌

[@_mrcrypt]

Pretty damn cool! I love that you got this range like super prog, subtle and soft - then BLAST into screaming fucking metal shit 🤘 ALWAYS Amazing! 🍷

[@christopherscottbrown1473]

This is so awesome ‼️ Freakin Brilliant on every level💯

[@Mr99conrad]

More people need to make Genghis Tron songs their own. Nice

[@MarkofSnow]

I haven't heard genghis tron since I was in high-school. Great cover and brought back the feels.🥲

[@sanssun5050]

Holy hell, this is amazing.

[@Geopholus]

Great electronic music! i think you could teach Nahre Sol a few things about using synthesizers, and what is at the core of experimenting with sonic possibilities. LOVE it . Thanks Rick Beato for the introduction..

[@eternalAku]

Great cover, love the screams :)

[@RyanMichero]

Genghis Tron is awesome. Great cover!

[@SarahLongfield]

Agreed! They’re incredible, a huge inspiration of mine forever now haha! Thanks!

[@t4b5jo]

Genghis Tron, come home we miss you.

[@dbackscott]

Haunting, eerie, and badass.

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

People wondered what Sarah would sound like if she combined her old sound with her new sound, so she did it. Anyway this blew me away. I don't know the original but holy shit this is sooo good! New genre to replace djent incoming...

[@SarahLongfield]

Woo thanks Zack glad you liked it!! Believe it or not the original song came out in 2008, these guys were sooooo ahead of their time in so many ways (they went on hiatus for a while but just dropped a new record, it’s very meditative and almost psychedelic)

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

@@SarahLongfield very nice!! Wasn’t sure how much was a straight cover vs your interpretation of it.

[@RBdestroyer3321]

Holy shit Sarah never heard Genghis Tron before that was truly amazing, btw I love the hair I feel it suits you well

[@PrestonSmithsMusic]

That was awesome, Sarah!

Thank you. Even if I hardly clue of all you did. I'll check the lyric...

[@hi-five4960]

Wow your screeching is great

[@mickjager]

Board Up the House is still straight banger

[@iannytes694]

This slaps

[@ericjam6346]

The start was so nice. There was this beautiful vibe to it. Like a sirens chanting to Odyseeus. Then those wretched screams seemed to reveal the true nature of the harpies. Couldn't make out the lyrics. A whole lot of effect on them giving it a digital kind of thing. Trippy kind of psychedelia Longfield.

[@SarahLongfield]

Thanks!! The lyrics are a bit obscured in the original as well (which I like because it has this doom-vibe and instrumental quality) but lyrics are: I see no light ahead I choke on desperate breath We knew the water'd rise Felt the ground subside I loved who I could As war clouded minds I did what was right As we all came loose I see no light ahead And I feel your panic too I hear the battered soil sigh If we're broke It's the right time All will be forgotten All will be well

[@csamail]

Somewhere about 1:50 it seriously dropped in my brain (in a great way).

I love this cover tho it's the first time hearing this song

[@lolh4x]

I definitely think you did the song justice. You did an amazing job. The only thing I personally would have liked was the repeating guitar riff that you played on the keyboard to be a bit more loud/up front in the song. Nitpicky thing honestly, you really did nail it.

[@snixbae]

I like your cover way more than the original

[@hatbox9536]

Just found you. I love you.

[@jetklaatu9831]

Great cover! Can see a laptop in the background with a program running, which one is it? And did you use it for your vocal effects as they sound amazing!!!

[@hedhuntervizo6749]

Oooofff

Beautiful voice and beautiful face ❤️
