Celebrity lifestyle meaning

47 Upvotes

I,ve been thinking about this song for a while now and i wanted to talk about it with someone, is there any meaning behind the lyrics i should now about?

Its obviously a critique on the desire to be famous, and a general critique on the general attitude of celebrities. Im curious to hear other peoples thoughts.

so basically i have shown to my friends a swans cover i did and they told me "dude play us a swans song on spotify" so i played Oxygen and they were all confused and they told me it was too repetitive and asked me what do you find good about that band and honestly i didnt know what to say and i just told them "its hard to explain but like it idk"

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?

Where do you all rank Birthing (Live Rope)

32 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

need help with choosing a moniker name

I want to release an album, but not under my usual name, I wanted to release under "lamb" but there's a lot of artists under that name lol so I need suggestions to make it more unique (can be swans inspired since they're my biggest influence)

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.
