When Loveless finally got love.

This is legit a genius genre crossover tbh. It's so creative and it's amazing that they were able to convert a 90s shoegaze song into a cute 60s pop song and make it sound awesome!! I'm obsessed with it

[@Pixelkip]

I listen to this song so many times every day ❤it’s trust the best

[@JulesLt71]

I think this is what a lot of MBV emulators miss - there are actually strong songs under a lot of the Loveless tracks, shown by the fact they can be recognisably covered in completely different styles

[@burieddagger8064]

I saw a video awhile ago breaking down loveless, and under the shoegaze they are basically just really strong catchy pop songs. It makes sense if you look at mbvs history, they started as a jangle pop band with a noisy edge, then basically just leaned harder into that edge

[@rustybaumeier8309]

this is the cutest thing i've ever heard

[@shoknifeman2mikado135]

Rusty Baumeier - SK has a way to make any cover their own; probably the most underated band there is

[@Urlocallordandsavior]

Screw depression, this version is good.

[@GuitarSkash]

thats the way go my boy ;), depression is power!

[@doppelgangerstudios]

This cover is really clever, very fun. Highlights the lyrics too, I think. "When I look at you, I don't know what's real" is such a great lyric. It's over the top yet it so accurately conveys what it is to be completely messed-up on love--it's like the Beach Boys

[@nikhilsingh-cx7hl]

So true!!!! The lyrics are incredibly simple, even childish in places but the songs verses convey love so perfectly

[@mbvteleshaka4366]

It’s about transgenders

[@sofialevines2593]

Totally! Coolest connection

Amazing that Shonen Knife actually makes their lyrics easier to understand. That's a mindfuck right there

I got to see Shonen Knife when they opened up for Death Grips and Swans in 1586, and they blew everyone away. Amazing cover!

[@pierskeegan3425]

Christopher Dlouhy sounds like the gig from heaven and nice nick drake pfp

[@zakur0hako]

lmao

[@user-vb2jr4vh6d]

in 1586?!

[@rbzanatta]

I liked it when they played it live, one evening in 1945, with just a sister at her side, and only weeks before the guns all came and rained on everyone.

[@BlakeBlackstone]

Yup. I was there! Great show.

[@bobbydiosmith347]

Saw Shonen Knife swear fealty to William the Conquer in 1066, they really tore Hastings up, great band, great cover.

[@seamusmalarkey759]

If you were there, you know

[@audrey1697]

i believe it but cant remember shit

[@euristic]

Saw Shonen Knife supporting Sonic Youth back in the 17th century. God they're wonderful. Bear up Bison!

[@euristic]

heh, no worries man, sounded sincere to me. was a great gig, they're still going as well!

[@hanaogra]

なるほど、素晴らしい解釈だ

[@retinalcircus]

"17th century"?

[@hughjass2024]

hell yeah beethoven n shit

[@世界で一番美しい人間]

yeah I saw them with Isaac Newton, good old times. Then he kind disappeared. Last time I saw him he said he was busy calculting "gravitational force". yeah he was batshit crazy.

[@DUCProdt]

This is such a cute cover. Its like the music equivalent of teaching bunnies how to hug.

[@escomofreak3566]

DUCProdt who did the original?

[@robertdurney3253]

My Bloody Valentine did the original if you're still wondering!

[@rep_reprobit]

[@KiIIua_]

This is one of the best covers I've heard in a while. I put it up there with Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" in the sense that Shonen Knife gave this song a unique and different vibe. I love when shit like this happens :D

[@MapleMilk]

This is the version of When You Sleep I would play when I wake up

[@flyingpig5622]

I sheepishly confess, that I always assumed that MBV songs would not hold up without the production, effects and whatnot. I really like being proven wrong, when it results in my mind opening up a bit.

[@henrikkrusty1091]

hi lev

[@agdgdgwngo]

I love the cute lyrics of MBV songs, well Sueisfine aside. Like Thorn has amazing lyrics imo

[@shoknifeman2mikado135]

SK is known for an ability to make any song their own, when they cover something!

MBV done in the style of a Phil Spector production? Awesome! The Shoenen Knife have always been great.

This is incredibly good. A good song can be played in any number of styles and it will remain the same.

this is amazing. i remember when the loveless cover albums came out and i never gave them a listen, can't believe i passed up this gem! so good

[@danielwhelan88]

Revoltingly happy, yet I simply love it!

[@herbertbeiderbecke]

I never thought that could exist a band able to coverize MBV (my favorite band ever) in an original and credible way. Well, it seems there is. Great job guys! Especially with such a beautiful yet complicated song.

[@shoknifeman2mikado135]

SK have been my fave band since 1997

not complicated but definitely interesting with the way the chords n melody interact

How is it I can be a fan of this band since 2011 when I accidentally discovered the Osaka Ramones album. I've been to 3 shows, bought every album available in my country, and even imported Millenium edition from Japan and yet still... STILL I find a new cover when I think I've just about heard all of them (last one I heard was Michie singing Cherry Bomb)
