  • I'm truly sorry
    for what I never did
    but I forgive you too,
    for your indifference
    You're a lonely child
    layed open to the world
    and when I looked in your eyes
    I saw myself there too
    So please forgive me now
    for what we never had
    Although its useless to say
    I wish you happiness.

    One of the most powerful songs ever written, the catharsis and emotion here are just unbearable, it`s absolutely transcendental from start to finish
    This song is the greatest proof that SWANS isn`t from this world

    This whole album reminds me of a decidedly miserable time in my life, but this song especially dredges up bad memories. I used to listen to it on my drive to work daily, 8 years ago... All I can say is I'm so glad I don't have that job anymore.

    Toda una generación buscaba como fín último el sueño de Ícaro. Volar hacia la luz y, ya alcanzada, flotar eternamente en paralaleo a los astros para lograr el éxtasis celeste. De hecho, flotar es en sí mismo una gozada. Gozo supremo de todo vuelo. Magnífica existencia la del meteoro, fuerza pura, energía sin otro fin que estrellarse en el punto culminante de la exaltación. Feel Happiness…

    For all the talk of this being like a drug....that is the point. Gira doesn't do drugs and stopped taking them a long time ago. Most of the unbridled emotion in this is all straight from the brain...and that in itself could be even more disturbing. I love Swans

    Agree mostly, apart from the 'brain' part. Gira's brain is involved, but imo, and from what he says, it's mostly visceral. Most people won't play from the pit of their stomach or genitals, which is why Swans own.

      Seconded!
      Damn, it's ages since I saw Mulholland Drive. It's one of the creepiest films ever made, but also stupendously beautiful. No-one does that combination like Lynch.
      Absolute Lynch devotee, whatever some feminists may say. Personally, I think he has deep sympathy for his female characters - Laura Palmer in 'Fire Walk With Me' is basically me as a teenager - I used to cry buckets every time I watched it, because it was so relatable.
      Donna: "Do you think that if you were falling in space, you'd slow down after a while, or go faster and faster?"
      Laura: "Faster and faster... And for the longest time you wouldn't feel anything... and then you'd burst into fire, forever... and the angels wouldn't help you, because they've all gone away..."
      Incredible performance by Sheryl Lee. I think I prefer Moira Kelly to Lara Flynn Boyle as Donna - she does cute and innocent but clever and determined so well.

    Yes, they are. Break through possible, but also easy to avoid. New civilization: no chance.

Apparently, fully dependent on his being there w/energy level high enough to support unreal sound world. There for the taking youtube or otherwise.

      ***** The rapid industrialization of the USSR wasn't really a function of the revolution itself, or even the first regime following the revolution, so it seems a bit tenuous to credit one with the other. Toppling a weak monarchy with broad support from the working class and then devolving into infighting isn't particularly impressive in my eyes. But I see your point.
