Swans - When She Breathes

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,
- Michael Gira / Swans / Young God Records

Thank You, Michael Gira and the whole of SWANS.
SWANS has been there in some of the hardest times and some of the better times in my life.
Thank You SWANS.

IMO it's probably the best track of the entire album.

[@NickZedd1]

Wow. Mike Gira loves me.

[@fedelamort5107]

Beautiful voice Jarboe

[@crisha721]

always loved the sudden change in chord progression on 3:37 . used to fell asleep to this beautiful song

[@griftegrd]

I never got this song and I used to always skip it. The other day i woke up feeling sick and paranoid of having covid and for some reason I just wanted to listen to this (and Song for Dead Time) on repeat. Jarboe is amazing and the pianos here are something else.

[@kisawisa1769]

I completely forgot this one. Incredible song, just like the rest of the album.

[@urrrccckostan]

Bought vinyl on Sunday, been a favorite album since '91, great to have Blind included.

When she comes here, then we'll see
Then we'll know, then we'll breathe
In her shadow, the sun was born
In her shadow, a new world will form
When she breathes, when she breathes
When she imagines that she breathes in me
When she breathes, when she thinks it once
In the field, steel grass will grow
And from Heaven, she'll rain down the sun
And turn the living into sand
And we breathe her holy air
And we walk this poison place
Made from an emptiness where time was never
Dreamed by one mind so sad as mine
When she breathes, when she breathes
When she thinks it once, when she breathes in me

[@AT7outof10]

This is reminding me of someone else, or maybe two bands combined... And its gonna haunt me.

When she comes here
Then well see
Then well know
Then we'll breathe
In her shadow
The sin was born
In her shadow
A world will form
When she breathes
When she brqtaes
When she imagines
That she breathes in me
When she breathes
When she thinks it wants
In the bend
Still grass will gowm
And from heave
She will remain down the sun
And her believing
Into stand
And will bring
Her home air
And wellman walk
Thisnpoisom place
Made for the dancing dress
Will trump one never
Dream my wooden nine
Shows dead as night
When she breathes
When she breathes
When she thinks it 2as
When she bretah2s
In air

@@LeeGee that would defeat the purpose. I'm satisfied with my work. I have spoken

Does anyone know the reverb unit used on this recording?
Also, if anyone has seen my original record bought on the day of release and pinched, please let me know ;-;

[@ashasalany]

Are there multiple mixes of this song?

[@robertrossignol4445]

Yes this is the 2015 remaster/reissue.

[@denno445]

@@robertrossignol4445 original sounds quite the bit better tbh

[@lucas1648]

Is it just me or around 1:37 sounds like something from a Castlevania OST ?

No

[@youtubeuserdan4017]

God this sounds awful compared to the original master.

[@youtubeuserdan4017]

@ivan karamazov. It's not about audio quality. This is literally a different version of When She Breathes (more specifically it's the version from Various Failures) and I don't like it as it sounds dull, lifeless, flat, and muted.
This is the original:

Que pena, con lo bien que empezaba, con esos acordes siniestros, para luego joderlo, con la vocecita soul(que por cierto no pega nada) debería haber cantado Gira, con su voz gótica, y se hubiera convertido para mi en la mejor canción en toda la discografía de los Swans. Que pena, estuvo cerca de conseguirlo!!

[@paolovallejo5500]

Ni gótico ni soul 🚫
