穿过夜晚 Go Through the Night

黑夜笼罩之后，熟悉的日常逐渐褪色。
清楚地感觉到自己正穿越扭曲的时间与画面，
在那里，我遇见另一个你，比记忆中更加鲜明，
也遇见另一个我，比想象中更加勇敢，
一起往规则改变的未知前进。

睁眼的那一刻便越过了黑夜。

大象体操2021年度单曲《穿过夜晚》，创作始于与日本乐团toe在疫情期间举办的线上合作演出。与toe的团员讨论后，取样其经典曲目 "Two Moons" 的木吉他音轨重新创作，除向喜爱的乐团致敬，也以大象体操的器乐特色诠释梦境虚实交杂的独特场景，为探讨梦境作为主题的下一张专辑揭开序幕。

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.
