VIOLENS & CHAIRLIFT – NEVER LET YOU GO

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Violens and Caroline Polachek from Chairlift made a song inspired by Justin Bieber‘s video for ‘Never Let You Go’ . The whole idea is pretty awesome: “We went on Youtube to find a video among the highest ranks of hits, and came across ‘Never Let You Go’. Went on to make what we call a ‘sgin’ (anagram of the word ‘sing’) – an original song written specifically to synch into someone else’s video on mute.”

UPDATE: The video has been removed from Vimeo and YouTube, but you can watch it here. Thanks to Frank for the tip.
