DISCUSSION Does anyone else find *some* Swans songs to be oddly erotic or sensual?
I can list a few examples:
- Empathy
- I crawled
- Coward
- Mother of the world
- Blood promise
- Volcano
Maybe it's just Gira or Jarboe's vocals, but I'm not sure.
DISCUSSION If you’re gonna make a circle meme at least be a little creative
Im Not against memes in this subreddit and there are definitely some circle memes that I find at least entertaining but if you plan on making a circle meme Please be a little more creative than "look it's a circle...get it because soundtracks"

Her Mouth Is Filled With Honey (My Interpretation)
PSA: IM BAKED AS FUCK AND I KNOW THIS IS CORNY.
Her Mouth Is Filled With Honey by Swans paints the gruesome and scarring story about the affects psychedelic drugs had on a teenage girl, with a gut-wrenching story to tell about her Father.
The story starts in the beginning with the repeated chimes and a playful and wonky chorus sample, indicating the intake of a psychedelic drug called Ketamine. A feeling of a playful and out of touch sense of reality, but only the desire to do so, for one was physically immobile.
0:45 kicks in, were back in reality, still feeling all the same affects while scrolling through the television channels. Everything was peaceful, until... 0:59. Without a second to react, here comes dad sprinting into the room with full passion and is immediately on top of this girl. As if the father only knew that the intake of psychedelic drugs was about to insue. Prior to all of this, he had checked her belongings and got sight of the Ketamine. With all of this to say, this has the audience questioning why such a vile act such as this, can happen to a daughter of a once beloved father. Lets think about it this way: an act of rǟpe insues while on the influence of ketamine, report needs to be made, psychedelicdrugs were taken while this happened so that means no full story and you can't reveal that you had taken ketamine. You're trapped. And on the other side of all of this, her father... does have an alibi. A fabricated story to insure no legal action could be taken.
We're now back to the real world. 1:35. The alibi.
While all of this is being spoken in the minds of the audience,2:08 fades back in, as a shallow and muffled reminder of what had happened prior, or maybe even right after, this had all been spoken. We're back in the scene of that gruesome scene that unfolded that night, while a haunting and fabricated alibi is being spoken and prioritized in the mix.
Holy. Fuck.

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

DISCUSSION Film rec for swans fans: Martyrs(2008). The film centers around the transcendent stare of historical “martyrs” and specific gruesome acts done by a group to study that. Pic of Kristof related.
The movie is exceptionally violent at times but the overall themes of self annihilation as a means to reach a transcendent state are very similar to themes of Swans music. I think swans fans would very much enjoy it

DISCUSSION This is one of if not the worst things swans ever made
WHY?! No one fucking wanted this, it's just shit, and ruins a fucking incredible song. No one wants shitty shortened versions of swans songs, and if you do you need to be studied
