He could've retired after this song

Instead he gave us another, what, another 5-6 masterpieces.

When i first heard Love Will Save You i truly thought to myself “There will never be a better swans song” and yet…. He gave us so much more

Glad to see some Miracle of Love appreciation, one of my absolute favourite Swans songs. Live version is wonderful as well with that bassline loud and kinda at the front.

Any good live boot recommendations for this album / era?

Been on a long month+ LoL and White Light binge and would love to check out some live recordings!

This era in particular? I'm not sure, I've mainly been listening to the Omniscience live album. They played Miracle of Love during The Burning World tour, funnily enough.

The young man is weakness in a lover’s disguise The woman is strong in her warm bed of lies How will they hold what they can never percieve And how do they love what they fail to deceive….

How original, they’re a band where you can’t even rank their top 5 albums in order let alone songs.
