穿過夜晚 Go Through the Night

黑夜籠罩之後，熟悉的日常逐漸褪色。
清楚地感覺到自己正穿越扭曲的時間與畫面，
在那裡，我遇見另一個你，比記憶中更加鮮明，
也遇見另一個我，比想象中更加勇敢，
一起往規則改變的未知前進。

睜眼的那一刻便越過了黑夜。

大象體操2021年度單曲《穿過夜晚》，創作始於與日本樂團toe在疫情期間舉辦的線上合作演出。與toe的團員討論後，取樣其經典曲目 "Two Moons" 的木吉他音軌重新創作，除向喜愛的樂團致敬，也以大象體操的器樂特色詮釋夢境虛實交雜的獨特場景，為探討夢境作為主題的下一張專輯揭開序幕。

When the night fell, the familiar daily life gradually faded.
I could feel the passing through distorted time and picture.
There, I met you, more vivid than I remembered.
There was another me, braver than ever.
Together, we walked toward the unknown, where the rules were changed.

The moment we opened our eyes, we have gone through the night.

Stemming from their recent collaboration with the Japanese band toe, Elephant Gym’s new single “Go Through the Night” fluidly interpolates the classic toe song “Two Moons” into their unique scene where reality intertwines with dreamworld illusions.

Peppered with chopped samples of the acoustic guitar from “Two Moons,” the Taiwanese trio’s expansion on their beloved song is stamped with KT Chang’s signature basslines that twist nimbly into her brother Tell’s gorgeous piano melodies. While glued together through drummer Tu Chia-Chin’s tactful, pinpoint-precise drumming, the song maintains a dreamlike air, with passages shifting inexplicably and abruptly in a way that still feels natural.

This blurring of boundaries between Elephant Gym’s dreamscape and reality is the central theme of “Go Through the Night,” and doubles as the band’s opening statement for their upcoming album centered on dreams.
