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 song is the anthem of breathing manually
damn it
OH FUCK YOU
Oh no
The best part about this comment is I can forget it exists as soon as I stop looking at it.
Fuck you man
I really want to listen to all their stuff but trying to listen to all of swans material at this point in their career is like trying to catch up with one piece
someone they only have 14 albums
someone compared to the rolling stones swans have been consistently good, just ignore the burning world.
Just listen to Soundtracks for the Blind over and over
Try listening to all Merzbow albums.... I'll be at ur funeral
@Connor True, but To Be Kind alone is 2 hours long.
This sounds like a Tom and Jerry episode on acid.
I'd looooove to see that
@@chimedemon if you know the right people, you can
@@mishtaromaniello8295 i gave my cat a hammer but nothing happened
I swear at one point his screams literally sound like the scream Tom makes.
"Most people will die within 10 minutes of total oxygen deprivation. Those in poor health often die much sooner. Some people may suffer other medical catastrophes, such as a heart attack, in response to oxygen deprivation."
this song it's almost 8 minutes, new fear unlocked: dying by hypoxia
Funny that you mention because Gira wrote this song after an intense near-death asma attack.
3:53 this part is so insane and when the drums come back it’s so surreal 🤤
Have my math final tomorrow and just heard this.
Actually feels like I’m about to die.
how did it go?
tyl Dang, I passed ! 7/10 is my final grade
Foxylio Jr. DAMN.
@@maotsedunk1362 dude congrats!!
@@PLAGUE-KARM GETOUTOFMYHEADGETOUTOFMYHEAD
This song is like finally being so happy with yourself that it’s suffocating to others around you.
Cuz ya gotta have, OXYGEEEEEEAAAAAN!!!!!!
I think this is a terrible description
easily the fruitiest way he could've described it lol@@hospitalbruteband
@@hospitalbruteband not really though
I did not interpret this song in that way whatsoever lol
This is a great track to listen to when you’re in space and you broke your helmet outside the shuttle.
Underrated comment
can't be more accurate
Oh shit my helmet broke.
Yo Jhonny put that new Swans.
you die
Breathing in a deeply inhalant way… I NEED ALL THE OXYGEN!!!!
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@harry lamont
Nice Money Store pfp, what's your favorite song from the album?
@@comradejosephstalinoftheus8698 probably lost boys! but if you had asked me when i posted this comment it would definitely have been hacker haha
this song is an anxiety attack
this song is perfect to listen to when you desire oxygen
Mmmm oxygen
I have no idea if I like this song or not, but it keeps popping up in my mind and I keep coming back to it.
It's just so fucking intense and surreal.
you like this song
@@chesecak9535 probably
@@arisnomidisbrazas326 it’s probably the harshest, most chaotic and unnerving song ever made but it’s somehow really good lol
@@oscarh5439 Listen to Filth
@@greatcoldemptiness I have but even filth isn’t as brutal as oxygen, especially as far as the drumming goes.
I love Gira's vocal performance on this song. It adds a lot of intensity.
That's an understatement
WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF
best pop song of the 1980s
Best gospel album of the 2000s
best deathcore ED of the 1900s
W pfp
I legit Fell asleep, so Relaxing.
Lofi hiphop beats
you're insane
he passed out from lack of oxygen
@@phalanx6183 I honestly don't know why, maybe I was just too tired but at this point I pavloved myself into falling asleep to this.
I fell asleep to this album when I first heard it
As a metal fan, I have to say that swans is way heavier than most metal bands.
Alfonso Caro especially their older work
Filth and Cop for sure are pretty metal stuff imo
kind of. i think motorhead is heavy too.
Beyond measure.
Swans is more metal than metal itself
3:02 that brief moment of complete silence gives me shivers every time
3:56
I _STEAL_ ALL THE *OXYGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN*
Edit man 🙁
AH STEEL AWL THEE OCKSEE JEEEEEEN
One of the finest noise rock songs ever made
The bass reminds me a bit of Primus
Gidean Hume But in a good way.
This track Sucks indeed
@@StanislovasRiska That's a really good joke. :)
you should check out glenn branca if you dig this!
@@deathhzrd amazing no wave artist
2:11 when uncle commences silly noodle time
"silly noodle time" 😂
this is the best
This is the most underrated comment of all time
Oof
This is good
My sister showed this to me the day after I had another nightmare about a nuke hitting my city. In this one I was being chased by the police in the subway. Someone came running down the stairs and yelled for everyone to take cover. I just had time to hit the floor in some corner when everything went white and I was already awake in this world again. This song sounds just like that.
4:38 my dog at 3 am
Lmao
XD Most underrated comment
I feel like I can make a movie with this song in it. It would probably suck though, I'm no kubrick.
Probably a gore-fest kinda movie. Maybe a scene similar to that weird graveyard scene in 'Easy Rider' except the actors are all over middle age and wearing priest outfits and Thom Yorking.
@@HoodeloodumGAME or.... or....
A chase sequence
i think like a crashing space station
yeah the cracked space helmet comment was spot on, just panicking frenetically while spinning through space
Bring the sun would be a much better option in my opinion
God, Michael's screams at the end of the track. This album is a masterclass in catharsis, an explosion of emotions. I've never heard anything quite like it
I can listen to this over and over. It's so beautifully primal.
Bass riff really shows the Glenn Branca influence. Reminds me of Lesson No. 2. Rest in peace Glenn
this is like a car crash that just keeps going and going as if there is no friction, all to eventually hit a wall and crash into it so hard that it breaks time.
This song encapsulates the feeling of a panic attack induced by existential thoughts perfectly. Pure chaos
6:53 I can’t even explain whats going on here but every time I listen to this part I feel like all the instruments speed up for a second? It’s hard to notice in all the chaos but its a crazy moment.
I can hear it!
I heard it
I think the drums get faster
@@doxskew2221 yeah thats definitely all it is. that comment was pretty silly lol. still sounds cool tho.
When he said "woof woof woof woof" my dog felt that
These guys are actually amazing
Do you look at me while I sleep Obama?
This song is madness. In a good way.
Swans are the loudest, heaviest band I've ever seen, pushing Motorhead into second place.
I Know Motorhead were said to have the highest volume? Did Swans officially surpass it?
Hornswoggle Lover39 that was way back in the 80s that motorhead were the loudest. Sunn O))) have bee the loudest for a while
you heard of Daughters?
I think you gotta check out electric wizard homie
I was stood far too close to the speaker stack(stage left) the first time I saw Motorhead play, in a relatively small venue on the South coast of England, in the late 1970s when I was about 15. The first note that Lemmy played was a surprise, not just volume but the movement of the air hard against us. None of could hear each other talk on the way home!
I once left this song on repeat for like an entire day and ending up not being to get it out of my head for an entire week. It was just echoing again and again and again...
this might be the most chaotic song i've ever heard
ben likes radiohead kind of reminds me of The National Anthem
damn boi so you dont know red krayola
@@nekozombie that one is also very chaotic. In a good way
Listen to The Gerogerigegege
@@BIadelores good meme group, but the first real chaos was Ascension by Coltrane
Hey therrrrrrrrr
DOG MAN WOOF WOOF WOOF
HEYYYY THEEERRRRRRREEEE
MR. SKULL
the drums on this song are so amazing
This song reminds me of middle school when my anxiety was at its peak, and I would hyperventilate until my limbs went numb. I really like it.
1:09 the echo off that first shriek is perfection
You don’t need to be on drugs to listen to Swans. The music is the drug.
Imagine driving under the influence of Swans
Imagine Daniel Day Lewis singing this one.
DRAAAAAINAAAAAGEEEE!!!!!!
*_IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII AM THE THIIIIIIRD REVELATION_*
IIIIIIIIIIIIII AAABANDONED MYYY BOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as an asthmatic, i can confirm...this is what it is like
This remains the most deranged technical perfectionist track out there from the last decade, maybe ever, it will NEVER age.
6:10 when you ask Michael Gira what his favorite Commodores song is
not sure if any of you noticed this, but at about 7:53 there seems to be someone saying something and a small tapping noise in the background
6:50 The ending of this song... Holy God.
It's just so good, especially in the lasts seconds.
So goooooood n tastyyuy
When he just starts screaming like a wild man, abandoning any semblance of lyric. It must’ve been really cathartic
Breathing in and out to the beat of the song feels like the proper way to listen, it made me conscious of things around me such as heartbeat and breathing, completely seriously feels like excellent kind of short meditation/mono no aware practice
May be under influence but I feel refreshed Thank God
I love how chaotic this is.
This song gives me so much strength to deal with my narcissistic co-parenter
I'm sorry to hear xx
This is like the Dark Souls of Albums
Then their early work must be like trap adventure 2
it's pretty funny to see you here 🤣👍 legit a big fan of your void memes
I detect a hint of Captain Beefheart in Michael’s singing on this one, especially when he does that snarl at the beginning. This is what I imagine Trout Mask Replica would sound like if it was made in the 2020s
First time listening to this, and it’s blowing my mind.
Imagine playing this to a 1500s peasant in the middle of the Spanish Inquisition
I think this song is about the moment when you hit a big wolf spider with a broom and a thousand little baby wolf spiders come out and swarm your basement
memory unlocked: I was going to take the momma spider outside (didn't know it was a momma) and my dad hit it with a shoe. the babies grew up to be doctors and honest citizens; we moved
I want this song played at my funeral ; )
In Motion wtf men
imagine being at your cousin’s funeral and all of a sudden you hear OXYGEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOEEEEEEEEOOOOOAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA
ad the dude in the casket bursts out holding a bass screaming OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH NNNNNNNOOOOOOOO
This song is my funeral.
the fact that this isn’t even their 2nd best song shows how absolutely incredible this band is.
for the record the top 3 are
1. Helpless Child
2. The Glowing Man
3. Oxygen
That is a based take
Not even gonna lie, thats my top three as well. Even at that, theyre pretty interchangeable too (although if we're talking like... OBJECTIVELY SPEAKING... glowing man is 1st hands down).
@@um001 tbh probably
I haven't gone through their entire discography yet, but so far Helpless Child is definitely what I'd say is their best so far.
I'd put Killing for Company above Oxygen
i love the staccato yelled lyrics at 3:31 sooo much. i mean i love this whole song but that parts so fucking fun
My favourite swans song!
Feels like a song that would have been played during a race on a ps2 racing game
this just feels so ballistic
This song is so unbelievably fucking insane, I cant even believe it
One of the greatest songs ever recorded
Absolutely love this band. I have listened to almost every song in their discography and yet not a single song put me in a state of hypnosis and pure focus like Oxygen did once in my life. Gonna be honest, all I did was just hit a stick on a tree, but holy fuck what was going through my mind was immense and ethereal. It's sad that my friends will never like this.
Fantastic bass line.
ok but have you listened to this at the gym? it's fucking perfect for heavy lifts
Glenn Branca reluctantly brought me here.
Hheeeyyy theeeeeeerrrrrreeeeeeee
It sounds like chino Marino did speed and recorded whatever came after
that's literally just the Deftones self titled
my god it does! defones
Owwww, I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Thank you, teacher!
this song is like a bunch of guys trying to push a really big rock up a hill
Great music by great people
Unrelenting dissonance hammered for 8 minutes straight. It also kinda reminds me of some parts of rite of spring by Igor Stravinsky. It has that same spiritual ecstatic violence.
7:06 Gira cosplays as the baby on the cover
Hey therrrrrrreee...
This is absolute chaos, i love it
This is good to listen to while your drowning.
My friend turned me onto this band..... and im not disappointed. This band reminds me of Primus sometimes
A little god in my hands just sounds like Primus on meth if Primus didn’t already sound on meth enough
Mr Bungle is good too if you like Primus and haven't heard of Paton's side projects.
imo one of the hardes songs to ever exist. up there with some true hard screamo for raw insanity
it feels like the tempo is getting faster at times
great song to listen to when going for a run late at night in the dark through the woods
this song sounds like if oxygen was a drug and you overdosed on it
I feel like I'm being forced to breath.
This song is so intense I feel it in my chest. Then when the first “oxygen” comes in it’s like jfc
OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
This sounds like getting chased by 20 knife-welding clowns through the dark wet alleyways of New York.
Love this band
🌌 the horror of being born into a cold bright room gasping for breath!
This deserves 10x the views
This song makes you breathe manually
😂
ISTEEALTEEOXYGEEEEEEEEN
Are those horns art the end? I can't tell, but I really applaud the stamina of the lungs of these performers, if those are horns.
Yep. Horns and a distorted clarinet.
Sounds like some free jazz at the end. These instruments sounds like they're collapsing on each other. Very cool.
My friend bought me over and not disappointed
WOOF WOOF WOOF
WOOF🗣️WOOF🗣️WOOF🗣️
Wow!!!
Are they yelling "fuck" at 2:06? Trying to figure out if I'm allowed to play this on the radio
HEYYYY THEEERRRREEEEE MR SKUUULLL
Heavy 'The Fall' vibes on this one 😎✌🏽
