Is the Daydreamer version of Sleepwalking by Chain Gang of 1974 made as an original track?

Asked by yaujj48 (1176points) September 11th, 2022

I noticed there are 2 versions of the song Sleepwalking by The Chain Gang of 1974, one is famously known used in GTA V and another is called the Daydreamer version.

According to the wiki, it says the GTA V version was the remix version for the game. Does that mean Daydreamer was the original track on its own without being connected to the GTA V game?

The song’s title is ”Sleepwalking (Daydreamer Version)” so read what Wiki has to say…

“Sleepwalking” is a song by American electronic rock group The Chain Gang of 1974. It was written by the group’s frontman Kamtin Mohager along with James Bailey, Rami Jrade and Ryan Ogren. The song was originally recorded by Mohager for his third studio album, Daydream Forever, where it appears as the third track. “Sleepwalking” was first released as a remixed version of the Daydream Forever track, included on the 2013 soundtrack-compilation album The Music of Grand Theft Auto V,[1] where it appeared as the closing track on the first “volume” of the album.

A “Sleepwalking” promotional single, featuring the Daydream Forever track of the same name, was released by Warner Bros. Records to US Modern rock radio on February 4, 2014, serving as the second release by Mohager in promotion of Daydream Forever, following the 2013 single, “Miko”.[2] A later “Sleepwalking” single was released in the United States by Warner Bros. on March 18, 2014. The three-track single features “Sleepwalking” and acoustic “Daydreamer” versions of Daydream Forever tracks “You” and “Sleepwalking”.

I did a search for “Sleepwalking (The Chain Gang of 1974)” & the above came up, but the link wouldn’t open properly on Fluther, so I copied what was written & pasted it here.
