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,

This song is like stepping out into the morning sun, having lost and gained everything at once. All is clear.

[@andypowder2146]

I cannot stop listening to this.

[@mushroomhead36]

I used to wake up every day to this song, well listening to it while driving to work, for a year. Gave me a lot of strength. Also I was drinking hard, "Cause when we're drinking we can never be filled". God, this man helped me get ahold of myself, being proud, active, angry, in a good way. As to fight the stupid people, don't let anyone put you under. Michael gira, what an inspiration.

[@andypowder2146]

Thank you, Man. I was driving to a factory early every morning. Jamming this tune. I'm a little late responding. I never post on KZbin. But your comment hit me.

[@venusinfurs7033]

I can’t describe how melancholic and deep this song is. It’s so beautiful, I love it. Thanks Michael

[@dannyvendetta8633]

Self deluded confident and blind.... summed up my twenties perfectly.... amazing song

[@lessthanpinochet]

That was genuinely beautiful. Almost hard to believe this is the same guy that made Cop and Greed.

[@LucGeurts61]

Running this in a loop whenever my mind goes bonkers. So soothing, love it. Thank you Swans, Mr. Gira.

[@StarletNite]

I love you Michael as well & your music will travel in my soul for the rest of my days & into the afterlife. I have known you throughout many lifetimes. Blessings

Now some of us are weak, and some endure Some people live their lives with a violence that's pure and clean But I saw man cry once, down on his knees In a corner of a darkened cell, and his pain meant nothing to me But I was younger then Young men never die And I walked out in the sun I was strong, clear-minded and blind Now don't say a prayer for anyone It doesn't do any good Please don't ask me a question It'd just be misunderstood And if you could step inside me you'd feel what hatred brings And if you saw with my eyes you'd see what self-deception means I was younger once and I created a lie And though my body was strong I was self-deluded, confident and blind Now show some pity for the weak of will Because when we're drinking we can never be filled Show some understanding for the lonely fool Because when I am drinking I am out of control I was never young Nothing has transpired And when I look in the mirror I feel dead, I feel cold I am blind I am blind I am blind I am blind

[@timee3221]

[@mllnobody7669]

oui.

[@chasethecolors]

This song and all of White Light (it was originally recorded for that album$ are my favorite era of Swans before they broke up

[@dariusstrolia9701]

written by Michael for Nilsson true story. we were watching our bobbers before the tug wake came in just before sunset. ok, aside, "when i'm drinking, i am Out of control" is a line worthy of sending on Voyager '77

[@danielparsignault3869]

Originally written by M. Gira for Johnny Cash.

[@toferbarber6348]

wow, I didn't know that

[@XxElCapxX]

Why would he ever refuse it???? I knew the singing style was inspired by him

[@kisawisa1769]

Isn't this the same version as is on White Light?

[@callsai]
