"When You Sleep" is a song by rock band My Bloody Valentine on the album Loveless.
"[5] He explained: On "When You Sleep" it sounds like me and Bilinda singing together, but it's just me – me slowed down and me speeded up at the same time.
I started sorting through the tapes and it did my head in, so I just played them all together and it was really good – like one, vaguely distinct voice.
[6]Sam Kemp of Far Out Magazine said that "When You Sleep" is the song that most defines shoegaze.
[It's] filled with indelible blown-out noise, shattered guitar feedback, and muddled confessions narrowly escaping the surface.
"[7] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian ranked it as the 6th best My Bloody Valentine song, stating that "When You Sleep" stands out in Loveless due to its "blissful melody and smeared multitracked vocals [that] evoke a stoned, uncertain kind of euphoria.
