    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,

    This is quite possibly the most powerful song ever written about surviving a rape attempt and rebuilding your life afterward.

      To me its sounds like rape attempt and she kills him in self defense. And ended up going to jail for it. When will I return ",freedom"

    Not only pushing the boundary musically/sonically, Swans and all associated with the creation of their artistic output push the boundary emotionally. Even the hardest, loudest walls of noise are easier to listen to than this. Very brave piece of work, specially from Jennifer. The mantric repetition of "I'm alive!". There are no frills there, it is a simple observation and truth. Stunning.

    Absolutely amazing song I came back around to when listening to The Glowing Man again. Crazy how you can listen to an album so many times and not have something grab you until much later. Powerful stuff.

    One, two, three, four
    His hands are on my throat
    My key is in his eye
    I'm splayed here on some curb
    Shards of glass, a starry night
    When will this pig-man stop?
    His stink is like a dog
    My life is mine to keep
    I still kill him in my sleep
    The car door is open wide
    The mouth of death still calls my name
    I beat him on his face
    And I stab with all my strength
    And I scream until he goes
    I scream until he's gone
    Then, I crawl across the road
    Then, I crawl across the road
    When will I return?
    When will I return?
    oh, I'm alive
    (Ah) oh, I'm alive
    (Ah) oh, I'm alive
    (Ah) oh, I'm alive
    (Ah) oh, I'm alive
    (Ah) oh, I'm alive
    (Ah) oh, I'm alive
    (Ah) oh, I'm alive

      This is 2 weeks late, and I'm sure you already know by now, but that's Jennifer Gira, Michael's wife.

      I think Jen's his sister, Siobhan Duffy his wife

      It appears, upon reading the 'oral history' book, I was of course outta touch - SD was previous wife.

      ClangersSpace giras sister has spent most of her life in mental institutions im not sure she is a functioning adult at all, gira has spoken briefly about her randomly showing up at his place in the mid 90s and i think he took care of her for a while
