Biography

Swans is a band from New York City, active from 1982 to 1997, reformed in 2010, founded & led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist [a79651]. Marginally associated with the no wave scene initially, their original sound was slow and extremely heavy, best heard on the live album Public Castration Is a Good Idea. By the time Swans released twin albums Greed and Holy Money the music had sped up. Drum machines and samples were slightly more prominent. Michael Gira was joined vocally by Jarboe which gave the band a broader sonic range. Swans eventually broke up in 1997. In 2010, Michael Gira re-formed the band. A notable change was that post-reunion Swans did not have Jarboe as part of their group, creating tonal differences between post-reunion albums and older albums.

LYRICS

In light your skin is golden
The truth remains unspoken
The door was closed but opens
With mind and limb interwoven
I'll go now, I'll go now
I'll go now, I'll go now

Through a tunnel carved in the air
I am falling
I can hear them, voices calling
Children singing, laughing, screaming without meaning
Colors shifting, vaporizing
Sifting oceans here in my hands disappearing

Will it end? Does it end?
Will it end? Does it end?
To begin at the end
Will it end? Does it end?
Does it endlessly end in the end?
Will it end? Will it end?
Does it end? Does it end?
Does it end? Does it end?
Does it end? Does it end?
Does it end? Will it end?

Pay attention motherfuckers
(Reversed Voice)

I saw you, I saw you
Beneath the sea, I saw you
I saw you
Behind the air, above the sky
I saw you
Ba-ba-
