    Hello, thank you for listening to our music. I hope it gives you some joy and pleasure.
    I am pleased that you have discovered our music through this medium. I view this experience as the equivalent of previewing a record in a record store in days of old. However, if you wish to experience the music in its' fullest form, I would strongly encourage you to acquire it in a physical format you can bring into your home. Not only will you then be able to experience the richest version of the music sonically, but you will also be afforded the opportunity to enjoy the tangible artwork, which was conceived in tandem with the music, and serves as a further portal to experiencing the total conceptual and spiritual and emotional content of the work we have labored, lovingly, to bring to you.
    I love you,

    They're in my top 20 of the greatest bands!!! I don't say something like that easily. But the vast amount of output plus the variety of their sound from really hard to dark to calming to beautiful (sometimes in one album or in one single song) makes them one of the best bands on the planet. And stil they're relatively unknown and have to work so hard to even make the release of an album possible...And they do it anyway, they put out music even if it's not easy for them. That's true artistry!

    [Verse 1]
    Walking out
    Counting up
    Breathing
    Reaching out
    Reaching out
    [Verse 2]

    Leaving
    Leaving now

    Surrender! Surrender!
    Take us! Take us!
    [Verse 3]

    A son

    Just a heads up to Swans fans.. yesterday I went on the Young God Records site to purchase Filth.. Unfortunately it's currently out, but I did find a hell of a deal. You can purchase The Glowing Man (it's a 2x CD set) for $5 right now (Feb 2021). Most of the other Swans albums start at about $17 on CD, so it's a steal. Go snag one for yourself!
