[@Pustocvet]

[@boyo7918]

Pekrosha Best sound check I've ever heard

[@boyo7918]

Hmm, Gorillaz S/T though...

[@caiovalente1672]

Man, I swear I read that you like pooping in your car and just blasting down the highway at max volume

[@Gy0952]

@@Pustocvet It's a soundcheck with lyrics and a lenght of 45 minutes...?

[@bartconnelly6926]

Agree this song is amazing. Need to find how i can get a copy that would be higher quality than youtube. Swans seem to be getting better and better. freaky.

[@kattenbroekcom]

Kinda sounds like the 2nd half of the glowing man title track and I also hear at the end lyrics from Frankie M

[@vinyldiary6664]

Massive! Killer!

[@alexswedock3911]

it's crazy how ideas for the world looks red/the world looks black spawned the sonic youth song (1), deliquescing (2) and the man who refused to be unhappy (3).

[@koollegged5739]

Kinda in the same way the 2010 live version of I Crawled spawned The Seer, Bring The Sun and The Glowing Man.

[@VihtoriRaivo]

+Kool Legged interesting, has MG said that somewhere? Your comment made me look up that version of I Crawled and I'm not hearing the immediate connection.

[@Azzamanify]

@@VihtoriRaivo The end of "I Crawled" became "The Seer", then "Bring the Sun", then "The Glowing Man". You can hear the evolution between the studio albums on the live fundraiser albums. I would like a source for "The World Looks Red" / "The World Looks Black" for this song and "Deliquescing" though...

[@VihtoriRaivo]

@@Azzamanify Hey thanks for replying to this like a year later and reminding me how it's been a while since I listened to this amazing track. Have a great day man

[@Azzamanify]

@@VihtoriRaivo something about the title resonates with my life so far. I always come back to it and that's what has happened now and I saw our comments to each other. I must have missed yours. Hope you are staying safe my friend.

[@bartconnelly6926]

this is not man who refusted to be unhappy. its a different song

[@kadin626]

Where's your source? Everybody else who has this song posted is also wrong? The CD (under Young God records) also has this as the song title.

[@theopenmouth9695]

He's wrong, this song is The Man Who Refused to be Unhappy

[@bartconnelly6926]

my source is the cd. This is deliquiescing the title track

[@bartconnelly6926]

What makes this yet stranger is my own message from "10 months ago" where i mention the song is amazing and then looked for how to purchase. but the strange part is that my remarks were in regard to the other song. this one is good but not as good as the one i bought the cd for and refer to as the Man Who Refused to Be Unhappy. So either I went nuts or the op changed the song. i think either could be the case.

[@bartconnelly6926]

perhaps i am wrong as every post in youtube says differently from how i remember. However the title stood out to me and the "slave boat rhythm" of this other song was what i liked so much. here it is by the op kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3a1oGeqZttonpY
