"Goodbye Horses" is a 1988 song sung by Q Lazzarus. It was written and produced by William Garvey. There are three versions of the song, of lengths 3:12, 4:20, and the extended version at 6:28. According to its writer, "the song is about transcendence over those who see the world as only earthly and finite. The horses represent the five senses from Hindu philosophy (The Bhagavad Gita) and the ability to lift one’s perception above these physical limitations and to see beyond this limited Earthly perspective." The song is featured in the films ''The Silence of the Lambs'', ''Married to the Mob'', ''Clerks II'', ''Maniac'' remake and during the second act of Marc Johnson's (skateboarder) 2008 video part in ''Lakai:'' ''Fully Flared''. It is also featured in an episode of "Family Guy" in reference to the same song's appearance in The Silence of the Lambs. Additionally it is featured in the video games ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' and ''Skate 3''. ==Covers== In 1996, Psyche's cover version of "Goodbye Horses" was released as the b-side to their single "You Ran Away". This recording became popular enough that the band decided to make an extended version and include it on their album ''Strange Romance'' at the end of the same year. When the trailer for ''Clerks 2'' appeared promoting the movie, Psyche entered the Top Ten downloads on iTunes Electronic chart. The song is featured on two best of compilations, ''Misguided Angels'' (2000) and ''Legacy'' (2004), as well as a recent limited Australian tour CD collection entitled ''Club Salvation'', and remains a staple in the band's live repertoire to this day. Over the last decade, the song has been covered by other performers including Gil Mantera's Party Dream. In 2009, The Airborne Toxic Event began performing a cover of the song in their live performances. The Whitest Boy Alive covered the song during Lowlands '09. In October 2009, Brad Sucks released a cover of "Goodbye Horses" on his website. At their NYE 2010/2011 show, Snowden debuted a cover featuring Corinne on lead vocals. However, aside from the original, only Psyche's interpretation has maintained its popularity. Electronic band Fan Death and garage-revival band Harlem have also covered the song, and it is currently being performed at live shows by Liverpudlian band Lovecraft, recently signed to the Probe Plus label. In 2009, a compilation on Metropolis Records entitled "Until The Shadows" contains Psyche's re-recording entitled "Goodbye Horses (21st Century Version)" which corrects the previously misinterpreted verse "lying over you" to "flying over you".〔http://www.metropolis-mailorder.com/product.php?prodnum=MET+602-4〕 In 2010, Indie band Venus Infers released two different mixes of their version of the song on their album "You'll Understand When You're Older". Also, Island Def Jam artists The Airborne Toxic Event released a live CD/DVD containing a performance of this song, entitled All I've Ever Wanted. In 2011, The Airborne Toxic Event released its second studio album, All At Once, containing a studio remake of this song. In 2013, Wild Beasts frontman Hayden Thorpe and Jon Hopkins recorded a sparse piano-driven cover of the track which accompanied the re-release of Lazzarus's original. Another cover version is found on the 2010 ''Mortal Loom'' album ''This Vastness'' sung by Ilja Rosendahl.〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102926/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Goodbye Horses」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
