Swans - No More of This

Swans new album, The Beggar, released worldwide June 23, 2023 on Young God Records/Mute. Formats include 2X LP, 2CD, as well as download and stream.
“After numerous pandemic-induced cancellations of tours for the previous Swans album leaving meaning, and an apparent bottomless pit of waiting, waiting, waiting, and the strange disorientation that came with this sudden but interminable forced isolation I decided it was time to write songs for a new Swans album and forget about everything else. They came relatively easily, always informed by the suspicion that these could be my last. When I finally was able to travel, songs in hand, to Berlin to work with my friends recording this record, the feeling was akin to the moment in The Wizard of Oz when the film changes from Black and White to Color. Now I’m feeling quite optimistic. My favourite color is pink. I hope you enjoy the album!” - Michael Gira

[@nicknickson3650]

everyone says that whenever Swans releases a new album. "omg this sounds like a goodbye song!" Gira already said there's more Swans to come.

[@madhav77777]

i actually cried

[@TheMoonFairy620]

No more of this no more of this No more of this no more of this Neither rage nor fear nor love nor bliss No more of this no more of this Now is the time to begin Now is the time to close me in Let the blue fires sing Bring the hammer down to break my wing No time to breathe no time to think Time to swallow the key it's time to sleep No more of this no more of this No more of this no more of this Now is the time to pay There will be no bright shining new day No tomorrow, no open way Now is the time to finally walk away No more of this no more of this No more of this no more of this Goodbye lovers goodbye friends Goodbye daughter goodbye sons I pray to heaven that you exist Within a cloud of healing mist That permeates your deepest being That bathes your soul with A light that cleans And may an ocean of tiny stars Enfold and hold you wherever you are More, more give me more

Seeing SWANS in two days, glad to be able to witness while they are still here

If I could wrap my arms around a suffering world in the hopes of easing the endless torment and soul crushing of every brokenhearted person, this is what it would sound like.

[@anthonytyler3692]

Given the lyrical content, I wonder if the “Seasons in the Sun” vibe this has out of the gates is on purpose.
