Angels of Light - All Souls Rising. Michael Gira of Swans

[@PJPsounds]

This is type of music we're getting nowadays under Swans name.

[@griffinmoore6819]

I have a quite nice collection of Michael Gira's work from the first Swans ep's to recent signed cd's, vinyl, cassettes, all Angels of Light releases, solo output, books, t-shirts, etc. But I never scored the cd this version of "All Souls Rising" appears on. A perfect collection it's not, but subject I chose for my only collection and the hunt to find the items to fill it gave me something to be excited about and kept me from television, shopping malls, mind numbingly pop radio, and multiplex sport centers. I thank you M Gira.

When i saw them play live a few years ago, i became so into the music that i felt like i had been hypnotized! It was very nice:)

[@gofuserect]

a stunning performance!! hard to watch M. Gira performing so intensely! it's perfect!! love the Angels of Light! !

[@squirrelike]

I've known for quite awhile that Michael Gira was God or possibly alien from our world. This proves he is beyond explanation and the Heavens above, or the Hell here. One of his best - if not, the best - works he has ever created. I am in awe.

No God, just a fucking cosmic human

Letras El sacrificio de huesos extraños The cull of foreign bone Médula succionada debajo del árbol de flores. Marrow sucked beneath the flower tree Deja que los justos se levanten de nuevo Leave the righteous ones to rise again Y beber la luz de los enemigos And drink the light from enemies Dulce rosa del bosque Sweet rose of the forest Ruptura y estallido entre mis dientes Rupture and burst between my teeth Ruptura aquí dentro de mi boca Rupture here inside my mouth Cambia el agua, cambia, cambia. Change water, change, change Cambiar, cambiar, cambiar Change, change, change en mercurio Into mercury No soy yo It is not me No soy yo It is not me No soy yo, no soy yo It is not me, it is not me Lleva la suciedad a mis pulmones Draw the dirt up into my lungs Coloca las líneas torcidas de azufre Lay down the crooked sulfur lines Déjame aquí para empapar la niebla que se cuela entre las hojas. Leave me here to soak the mist that sifts between the leaves Cintas rojas fluyen bajo mis pies y alimentan la corriente del espejo. Red ribbons flow beneath my feet and feed the mirror stream Forzar el humo azul en Force the blue smoke in Forzarlo, forzarlo Force it in, force it in Forzarlo, forzarlo Force it in, force it in Llenar el saco de piel Fill the sack of skin Rellénalo, complétalo Fill it in, fill it in Rellenarlo Fill it in Con que, con que With what, with what Con arbol, con arbol With tree, with tree No soy yo It is not me No soy yo It is not me No soy yo It is not me No soy yo It is not me No soy yo It is not me

I'm totally in love with the girl playing bass

[@geoffroyclop]

The great Dana Schechter, she was a huge contribution to the second and third Angels of Light albums, and is part of the second reiteration of the 2010s-20s Swans revival

[@non_rapping_jz]

I saw this tour in Denver...changed my life. This is a great video impression, but it was so powerful live.

[@xavoskate]

Angels of Light is so beautiful

[@YouTubingSheena]

I just entered and exited heaven, purgatory, and hell. Gira was my tour guide.

[@melvingira]

This was my experience when I saw them live. I told him after the show, "I felt like I was hearing the sounds of life and death simultaneously."

[@chaote]

@ andinoble: you nailed it, his music just becomes more complete, intense, more "GIRA" - more of that indefinable something that hooked me on Swans way back when. His fans are lucky that he can actually stay interesting/interested enough in the process to work at his craft and get better w/ age.

[@oryangoat5915]

I loved when Thor came in with the China symbol.

[@gabeuop79]

Reminds me of Jandek. Completely untraditional song structures with garbled, almost folky vocals. Definitely more angry though. Anyone else?

[@warlockboyburns]

wow beautiful! its so... full

[@danielrothwell6868]

Amazing video 😵‍💫

[@Zellig]

I love this song. It's very intense.

[@SkilU]

Great song! Gira awesome! Thanks for posting this...

[@greymalkin100]

Marvellous.

[@deussolinvictus]

It's like ritual music.

[@goldenhog]

incredible.

[@goldenhog]

totally awesome. long live gira!

[@Matias9296]

Muy bonito

[@bootheavy]

This sounds a lot like "Rosary" from Scott Walker. Coming to think about it Gira in this video even looks like him.

[@CalvinRonk-ft3ej]

To be there

if we can make sound travel @the speed of light we can time travel

[@DARSHANCHANDEKAR]

nice stuff... WE ALSO DO IT WHENEVR THRS A GET TOGETHER..:)

[@BurningSpear213]

I think that's Lisa Germano.

[@BurningSpear213]

Sorry, dumbass me, that's Dana Schechter.

[@vertyisprobablydead]

Anyone got tabs?

[@Rotocristo]

ha they're twins, genius twins

[@schwarzblatt]

gira knows how to bring in the top notch musicians. does anyone know who the bassist is?

[@MDK2_Radio]

I think it’s Eszter Balint. I can’t swear to it though.

[@MDK2_Radio]

Further research reveals Dana Schechter is the likely bassist.

[@rothkowitz]

hehe..the man in black crack makes sense

[@spock_elvis]

I thought they were much better as Primus.

[@shitsandgigglez]

he;s nucking futs

[@pranakhan]

@markdksc I would personally fear the implications of this psychiatry in regards to hardcore gangster rap, but its an interesting theory nonetheless.

[@mondoraptor]

kinda like KayoDot !

[@mmusicmann]

Less is more?

[@warlockboyburns]

anyone could play that but they couldnt write it

[@damando6631]

Is that Thor?

[@damando6631]

Yes it is
