    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,
    - Michael Gira / Swans / Young God Records

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

      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.

      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 RUclips. But your comment hit me.

    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
    you'r welcome :D

    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

    lyric:
    Now some of us are weak
    And some endure
    And some people live their life
    With a violence that’s pure and clean
    But I saw a man cry once
    Down on his knees
    In the corner of a darkened cell
    And his pain meant nothing to me
    But I was younger then
    And young men never die
    When 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
    You'll 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
