Favorite Song by Swans

You Are Nothing from the bunny one is pretty good

NOBODY BEATS EM
NOBODY BEATS EM LIKE A COP
WITH HIS CLUB
JAIL

Feel Happiness and the live version of The Sound.

Helpless Child is probably their best studio recording though. I just wish they added Ligeti's Breath to it, just like on the German version.

Probably "Hurt" by Johnny Cash

This
Alternatively I crawled

The Sound or the live version of Coward on Not Here/Not Now. It hits you every time

>>70111653
Not Here/Not Now was so good. The Seer/Bring The Sun/Toussaint was killer. Too bad the recording quality was absolutely shit.

>>70111653
My nigga, that is a fantastic recording.

I wish they re-did more old stuff live in the style of nu-Swans.

I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL I SEE IT ALL

if it isn't off one of the first three albums, you either haven't heard them or you're death. i can't even choose an album let alone a song, but it'd probably be something off Cop or Public Castration is a Good Idea live album

Early Swans is the weirdest kind of catchy

>>70111745
but post-rock sounds better than noise rock

>>70111523
If my favourite song its ''Song for a Warrior'' means that i am a pleb?

well... well fuck... i mean

>>70111834
if the production was more grimier then maybe to me yeah. the thing that most appeals to me about swans and many other related bands is the lofi approach, with a clean sound it just loses everything to me. i think it's boring

Helpless Child is my favorite, what an experience it is listening to that. That, or maybe the live version of Blood Promise.

>>70111834
why not mix the two? Then you get the best of both worlds

I absolutely love "All Lined Up" for its atmosphere and explosiveness and "Power for Power" for its fast unstoppable sludge but they're not really my favourites per se. "Volcano" and "Yum-Yab Killers" stand out in Soundtracks and they're both great. Original era Swans has some great shit throughout, some of my favourite music ever.

>>70111834
I've never thought of early Swans as noise rock at all. It's too rhythmic.

>>70111867
The live albums would be perfect for you then.

>>70111834
Shut the fuck up retard
le crescendos are fucking terrible and I'd literally rather be gangbanged by every current and former member of swans before I have to listen to neoswans shit

>>70111971
be careful what you wish for, friendo.

>>70111997
I won't be careful if it means I don't have to hear any swans past Dead

>>70111971

I've listened to all of their albums multiple times, the only acceptable post rock album they have is Soundtracks

>>70111745
>*deaf

Big fan of A Hanging

>>70112104
>only acceptable
>implying you can prove that with impenetrable factual evidence
When are you going to give up arguing about your opinion being superior?

Swans best album is The Burning World
prove me wrong
(you can't)

>>70112065
Well, aren't you a ray of sunshine? I personally like earlier and new swans equally, maybe earlier more. Filth and the old stuff is just better in its style. White Light Into the Mouth of Infinity is good too.

>>70112135
also a great song, so off one of my favorite of their earlier records.

>>70112157
good for you

swans sucks so fucking much

it's pure neckbeard or edgy autismo teenager music

>>70112847
>tips fedora.

Bring the sun is neo-swans at their best i think, Toussaint is them at their worst

Big fan of Frankie M, the album version. Old Swans I'd say anything from the EP gets me good.

Best Swans song is New Mind

>>70111523
In my Garden

>>70111523
the beautiful days always touches something in me, its one of the most profound songs ive ever head and soundtracks for the blind is beyond anything ive ever heard

FAILURE

>>70111523
All Lined Up

Blood Promise off Swans Are Dead, no contest

Tbf Stay Here

I've only heard a few Swans albums though and also I don't like Swans I just like to be strong and hard

>>70111971

No particular order, except for the first one maybe.

Feel Happiness (Swans Are Dead)
Blood Promise (Swans Are Dead version)
Killing For Company (The Great Annihilator)
Weakling (Filth)
New Mind (Children of God)
Coward (Public Castration Is A Good Idea)

>Ywn work up the courage to suicide by overdose on cough syrup while listening to Volcano on repeat at deafening volume

I couldn't give a ranked list but Stay Here is one of my favorite songs. It makes me feel feelings just from the sounds theyre making, which sounds like a simple requirement for music but it's rare that something does it with no effort. It just happens.

I also really like Giras solo album Drainland. You See Through Me and Fan Letter are great.

>>70111845
you had to call me in to show you how to use a fork

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT YOU ARE FUCKED UP

AND EVERYONE KNOWS I AM FUCKED UP

>>70111914
Yeah and I can't understand their label of post-punk. Swans is Swans, I hate when people are anal about genres

>>70112024
New Swans is really cool, impressive composition.

Old Swans is a fucking experience that goes beyond putting on a record

>>70112281
It's piss smells sour

What is it with him and piss

>>70112847
>Gira
>Edgy

It's only edgy if it isn't genuine. Swans is just what he is. It helps if you know about him and his life.

Failure, something about it just always evokes some type of sadness in me.

i've been really stuck on "Time Is Money (Bastard)" lately but i also love "Volcano," "Blackmail," "Laugh," and "Beautiful Child." idk if i could just pick one

>>70113137
I can't say I agree. While the instruments on Frankie M.'s studio version tops the live version, the vocals are nowhere near as good. I was so disappointed when I first listened to TGM.
