I don't get it, why not? Does he need the money? Is he coy? This is wonderful and it's messed up how there's a bunch of other demos out there not on the net because of his (rightfully) attitude.
@@ein8539 I think by having the demo versions of these songs available everywhere it takes away from the exclusivity promised on the original fundraiser CD. Plus it’s his work at the end of the day and if you respect the man then you’d respect his wishes for the demos to only be on the physical CD.
@@coronelfalk that album was actually made to be intentionally pro-Christ as a rebellion against the Satanist trending themes of other bands at the time. There's tons of other pro-Christ stuff in Swans. They even made two songs about Cloud of Unknowing, an amazing Christian mysticism book.
@@nicknickson3650you don’t have to cope like that. It’s okay to listen to non religious music. When I was religious I was constantly doing this with media I liked. I would google “is father John misty a Christian” for example. In the end, you don’t win. It’s better to forget about claiming art for yourself and just enjoy it as it is. Peace
@@user-bz9xd4ss7pObviously they're not a gospel band but there's tons of Christian themes and no themes that don't sit right with me. Hopefully you come back to Christ! peace
Where have you got this from? It's quite amazing! Did Gira ever released the demo stuff anywhere? Would be quite enlightening to listen to some of those introductions to song. Thanks!
its one of the bonus tracks from we rose from your bed with the sun in our head, its physical only and can only be listened to if you purchased the album.
@@Raifuuuuutrue huh. Also just because someone says don't, but they can, are they going to listen? Not usually especially if you tell them not to. Must of liked it enough to share it. Be positive🎉 😅 🎉
Probably my favorite song, in my whole life.
A definite desert island song for me too.
beautiful. so happy to hear this as it was created by Michael alone with his guitar. this is one of my favorite swans pieces out of all their records.
worth noting that before the demos on the album, Gira literally begged the listener not to upload them anywhere

@@ein8539 maybe he just wanted the world to listen to the album version first, I imagine he likes that one more.

I love the Michael Gira/Swans Demos. This is quite special, especially stripped to the barest elements.
Thank You.🙂
>that glorious out of tune guitar
god bless
i can’t even tell that it’s out of tune
This is so beautiful it makes my heart ache
Thank you for posting .
So beautiful. Shed some tears listening to this one. A real prayer. Heartfelt and yearning. We all really want to see. Be with...The creator
Mmkay, so we're all sobbing, I trust?
Swans is lowkey Christian music and I love it
SAVE YOUR SOUL, DAMN YOU TO HELL- NAH
SAVE YOUR SOUL, DAMN YOU TO HELL- NAH
SAVE YOUR SOUL, SAVE YOUR SOUL, SAVE YOUR SOUL, SAVE YOUR SOUL!

It was on the limited edition release of "We Rose From Your Bed With The Sun In Our Head"
Halonics Amazing, thanks!
Halonics Are there more tracks like that with comments?
electrizer Yep. That includes the special edition of "Not Here/Not Now" as well, by the way...

this is incredible thank you, any way you have the other acoustic songs?

Yeah, but I can't put them up. My channel was already close to being taken down for other Swans songs, which I had to remove.
@@Halonics please I need them I'll give you my Gmail 😭😭😭

It was all over the internet way before I put it up. Still, if you're reading this Mr. Gira, I apologize.
At least I can hear this recording today because of the uploader
