Here’s
something you’ve almost certainly never seen or heard before. The Veils were an
early-90s Los Angeles-area noisepop band consisting of Doug Hammond, Alan Dyer,
Roy Murray, and Ray Sanchez. This clip was a UCLA film student’s music video project.
While The Veils as such issued no recordings, they evolved into Suncatcher,
whose full-length The Girl That God
Forgot was released (after many delays) in 1998 on Restless Records.
The video of
“Unparalleled” uses a shortened edit of the track. The lyrics that follow,
written by vocalist/guitarist Doug Hammond, are those of the full-length
original version.
She locust
sings to me
a wave on my
skin
intensifying
my need to begin
Mine, the way
she starts
the way she
combs her hair
excites me
off in mind
surreal...
beautiful and
marred,
Levanna
revealed
I'm a fawn,
changing, by the
way she
laughs
I'm a fawn
by the way
she laughed
I'm a fawn
Aaah
Stormy
whirling world
we watch the
mojo pass unreal
two mirrors
falling into meaning's
sea of glass
I feel
Unparalleled
Mine the way
she starts,
The way she
combs her hair
excites me
after my release
as temples
fall in waves of
dreams that
never cease
Unparalleled
in parallel dreams
I'm a fawn,
changing, by the
way she
laughs
I'm a fawn
by the way
she laughed
I'm a fawn
Aaah
