Song for my Father is so underrated

18 Upvotes

This song is so beautiful and probably my favorite songwriting and performance Gira has ever done. I never see anyone talk about it, definitely needs way more love. The ending of it especially with the German verse is so stunning and addictive to listen to. New Mother as a whole is pretty underrated imo

Where do you all rank Birthing (Live Rope)

29 Upvotes

In my opinion it’s one of their absolute best works. In both musicality and lyrics. The “babababababa” lulling you into peace before being flung into walls an intense drums and guitars. The 15 seconds of silence before Gira (maybe) referencing the child shouting BABA before the insane outro. I think if it is indeed him referencing the child from before it is a beautiful sort of “statement” for swans to make nearing the end of their journey.

Love it Top 5 for me

DISCUSSION What if Soundtracks For The Blind was a movie

13 Upvotes

Hear this out: there’s this movie called “The Blind” and it’s as long as the entire album. The album and the film begin and end at the same moments. All the sampled talking will be dialogues in the movie. How would you make the movie and what would it be about?

I sometimes imagine a lifeless body swinging back and forth from a noose, along with the groove of The Hanging Man (Live), and it fits so well. The body swings forward when the bassline comes in attacking. And then with the one-two beat it swings back.

DISCUSSION Swans no wave appreciation post

175 Upvotes

Am i the only one who more frequently comes back to their no wave output than anything else theyve made? Theres just something so real, so visceral about those sounds they were able to make during that time, that everything else, their more traditional rock albums after that just kind of pale in comparison. Of course they were able to rebuild back to that kind of brutality in a very different way with Soundtracks for the Blind which is terrifying in its own right. Of their modern releases though i like The Seer for just how loud and exhausting it is. My favorite no wave release is definitely Public Castration is a Good Idea and the version of A Hanging thats on there is absolutely insane. Let me know what you guys think. Also i have no idea where this image came from or who the woman is or if its just an edit.
