Swans - She Loves Us

Показать описание

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

this song marks the exact moment Gira took up his Pink Poodle form.

I would like to imagine this was Jim’s ultimate vision for The Doors’ music.

A summary of this song:

This song immediately opens with an intense march-like groove with guitar lines syncopated over heavy percussion and bass. This repeats over the next few minutes turning into a hypnotic chant. The raw, primal atmosphere continues, building suspense and pulling the listener in until everything drops out giving way to a sinister drone. Slowly a massive cluster of wailing guitars build up, coming in waves all at once over top of massive hits of drum and bass. This wall of sound serves as a transition between the first and the second sections of the song. After the storm of noise dies down a simple guitar riff becomes the basis for another driving groove as well as the introduction of Michael Gira’s vocals. The groove continues to grow, adding more layers of guitar, and intensifying drums with a heavy swing feel. The vocals and lyrics continue to intensify along with the instrumental into unhinged, primal screams. The song eventually reaches a point of such intensity that it seems it can no longer contain itself and breaks apart into chaos. Suddenly all goes quiet and the listener is left suspended in an eerie drone of unintelligible voices right before every instrument comes crashing down in giant synchronized hits, over and over again, serving as the climax of the whole song. One final hit is left to ring out and fizzle into nothing, ending this gargantuan monster of a track.

This song is more metal than metal itself

When ever I hear this, I like to imagine some ritual being performed with a giant bonfire where tripped out people dance around in a circle praising God and chanting Hallelujah. Such great music.

After 7:30 I can't help but smiling every time I listen to this: everyone just sounds like they're having such a blast, with Gira going insane and abrasively screaming nonsense
