  • Part I of epic piece Bring the Sun/Toussaint L'Ouverture. I don't own the rights, this video was made only to share the greatness of Swans. Buy the album (as I did) from the Young God Record store.

    Jesus Christ, this was like being on a rollercoaster that slowly climbs to the top. And JUST when you think it’s reached it’s peak it just keeps getting higher and higher and higher…

    i introduced this song to my ex-gf because we did this thing were we take turns playing our 5 favorite albums for each other to get a sense of each other's taste, here's her comments:
    0-3:40 minutes "is this song ever gonna go anywhere??? what? it's 30min? wtf"
    4:00- "is he ever gonna say actual lyrics? what is he saying? is this even rock?"
    5:19 - 8:30 "wtf is he mumbling? is he just saying "im a man he's a man?" i thought you said these guys were artsy or watever"
    9:00 - end "i dont like this. it sounds like the apocalypse"
    [turns off song before the second half]

      shallowness is ultimately subjective and the fact that your take isnt nuanced enough to take that into consideration -- not to mention the fact that you dont even know the bitch -- before calling her shallow based solely on your own personal definition of shallowness is shallow in itself my nigga

      It's a bit of a stretch but I always interpreted the whole album as a reflection on how having a child will both completely change you as a person and your relationship with others. Hence the album cover being a child.

    I don't understand why this wasn't on a separate track, especially as "Bring the Sun" is an absolute masterpiece IMO, with its monumental build-up and groovy rhythm. The second half "Toussaint L'Ouverture", on the other hand is just 15min+ of nothingness, and random spoken word...
