Swans - I Want To Be Your Dog

Stooges Cover

[@kirriereoch]

The tempo totally changes the feeling of the song from the mad scramble of, and for, lust wished for in the Stooges original version into a desperate wish for forgiveness and hollowness from the other party and an ultimate bleak emptiness . A brilliant interpretation.

[@allasorokina7334]

kirriereoch Well said, indeed!

[@shupamelapijaboludo]

*Category: Pets & Animals* That's pretty honest

[@ForARide]

Just added to my Animal Justice playlist:kzbin.info/aero/PLNINWcxxj9hHFTf48RZ6AD8t5AVqvguYk

[@BlPlN]

@@ForARide Good list!

[@ForARide]

@@BlPlN Glad you like my list. I went through your favorites and there are quite a few bands and artists we both cherish. Seemingly you also have a very wide range of musical tastes, but I'm a little surprised that there's no John Cale in your list. Whether you're not to familiar with him or dislike him I don't know, but he is definitely worth listening to. I consider him to possibly be the most versatile musician around, always rearranging his songs and music, and also one of the most influential personalities in the development of alternative music. Here are a few links to some songs, you might want to give a try. As you're into Eno, both did a collaboration on the Wrong Way Up LP in the early 90's:kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5mWc36uYqx3r9E This one is with Nick Cave:kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqfIoKd3rZisn6s This one is from the 60's, recorded beside working with The Velvets:kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqrIZIuLaaqnjac Hope you enjoy.

His bloody voice...

[@maraellis3458]

I wanna be your dog

[@TheTetrarch]

So messed up, I want you here. Gira's voice is so perfect, as always.

[@chrisalchemye]

such a mind-blowing song and swans get have got into the deepest meaning of this. this is a dark dream that gets true, every-time, any-time, all-the-time.

[@robjones2408]

Iggy Pop has rated Swans for decades, so I doubt he would have a problem with this version. Mike Gira was massively influenced by The Stooges, notably "We Will Fall".

[@childintime6453]

I knew there was Michael Gira version of this song I knew it. And it fucks

[@frankenzion0001]

The first time I heard this version of this song, I thought it was Peter Murphy and Bauhaus.

[@allasorokina7334]

Purely mesmerizing peformance!

[@WuNdAfRiEnD]

My best friend became my dog. Now were both dumb and happy

[@Nowhy]

masqueraded Infinothing. Aww, animals are cute, aren't they?

[@user-ib5fi4rr4p]

Come on, Michael, be my God

[@Dyadactic]

Perfect for the pre-climax low point of a film.

[@derekr3607]

Isn't this from The World of Skin (ca: 1989 Gira/Jarboe)? Either way, it's good to hear it again. Thanks for posting.

[@tysfalsehood]

I did some looking: it was the bonus track for the CD version of Shame, Humility, Revenge (by Skin) from 1988. I had never heard it before since I've only heard the vinyl tracklisting.

[@Sighbot]

Interesting cover. The chorus sounds like a mad struggling to escape a void.

[@hellio27]

we were always gira's dogs

[@minhaz252]

What a cover !

[@lasa-ma-risa7678]

I love this

[@wolfthrone1746]

da Papà Michele accetto tutto

[@red_dawn_wj4174]

Amazing

[@fredgoth1393]

God isn't far.

[@SanjArh1]

be your God lovely~

[@RedAnthropology]

Jeffrey Prosser Swans have been so many things there's no way to say what "is" and "is not" Swans... unless you mean this was recorded as World of Skin and not Swans? Whatever. It's all Swans.

[@marke9088]

not swans. skin. closest track might be your not real girl.

[@user-gl1eq2vy6q]

Santa Sangre.

Exactly what I thought lol

[@wanneske1969]

GOD IS IN THE HOUSE

[@gideonros2705]

Wouw

[@byggetech]

If you speed this up from 33rpm to 45rpm, it would sound just like Iggy.

[@ericroe5641]

lonesome wyatt sounds a bit like this guy

[@littlemissscare-all5320]

Eric Roe thank you i just discovered a great artist because of you

[@gamingchanneldumbass6729]

I think I heard some Jarboe synths from New Mind here.

[@nathan9580]

Please anyone have chords? I'm not musically adept enough to hear by ear.

[@Brian-sh5ne]

Nathan I’m a bassist so I know G F and E are the root notes of the main chords, but I’m not entirely sure what types of chords they are. I think though that they’re G6 F6 and Eminor. Hope that helps some.

[@DM12128]

Dude how are you even a guitarist? It’s three basic chords.

[@generalsmiddy5948]

@@DM12128 no need to be harsh. Some people just don't have the ear to pick up even simple chords by just hearing them.

[@lookbovine]

On the original it’s power chords on the A string with open E droning, the chords are G at the 10th fret, F# on the 9th fret, E on the 7th fret.

[@MrGrizzzlik]

​@@generalsmiddy5948 maybe wanna ask Michael Gira if he knows how to read musical notes? Not every musician is trained to recognize every possible chord.

[@KetamineReview1159]

in my father's words "YeahRight"

[@HunterFunk]

If you put the speed to 1.5 it's more like the original

[@MrPaulwithap]

I like it at 2x.

[@godpatton4765]

Speed it's the answer... :P

[@user-gl1eq2vy6q]

Judges 11.

[@danyel1998botezan]

Sounds more like Iggy Pop 🙂

[@brentlohr4439]

Better than the original by miles.

[@mynameissusan440]

Play it on 1.5 speed sounds better

[@DM12128]

That’s just the tempo of the the original.

[@jeffreyprosser9075]

Nice, but not Swans.

[@cvrsedscvm]

Jeffrey Prosser -- what do you mean?

[@vinyldiary6664]

Michael Gira= Swans

[@kennemackillop1644]

and neither would be the cover of Black Eyed Dog, which is a fantastic cover. and M. Gira: Swans, World Of Skin, Angels of Light - varying degrees of Gira's genius. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZy3apd_f81jd7s

[@trebleboostboy]

droll.

[@CrazyMetalZombie]

Is that supposed to be insulting lol

[@CrazyMetalZombie]

Boring cover. And lol @ artsy pseudo intellectuals trying to classify it as "brilliant."

[@madslasher12]

CrazyMetalZombie that's just like uh....your opinion, man

[@tomsenft7434]

Sam Schofield : it's more boring than the original!

[@tomsenft7434]

C'mon!

[@navaeh282]

lol

[@panzram31614]

I like your style, dude...

[@guilledcf1547]

pretentious

[@thatguy6919]

You breath pretentiously if a cover of a stooges song by Swans is pretentious

[@guilledcf1547]

hum. deal.

[@AtacamaHumanoid]

***** Illuminatus!

[@katherinelopez207]

why?

[@Sighbot]

How so?
