Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins and Jarobe=Heaven! I don't even drink, but; some wine a dimly lit living room; this song, some snacks...the sound of rain and thunder outside....ahhhh! :)
I have two signed CD's fom her solo-era. Both personally dedicated to me, one of them being kissed on the insert with purple lipstick. She is that kind of person. So sad she left Swans - the one recent Swans CD that lives up to their old standard is, IMO, the one she has a guest-performance on: 2012 The Seer. Anyway, however difficult especially the two most recent Swans CD's are to listen to, this is music made out of an urge, out of necessity. So, if you, will, true art. Anyway, I'll see the Swans October the 7th - I got on the invite-list for some reason. ;-) Sad that Jarboe doesn't visit Europe too often, would instantly book a ticket.
I'll live forever, I'll never be filled I'll never imagine I can change what I killed I destroy what I love, I drain what is filled And I live by the heart of the things I kill I will be alive for a thousand years This memory will never leave, this body won't die This body is a temple stolen from the Lord I'll walk in his shadow for a thousand years This is the gift I was given at birth I'll walk in your shadow for a thousand years One thousand years
Stunning! Puts most goth stuff to shame, as it has a sense of honesty and loneliness. My three favorite LPs by SWANS/SKIN are: CHILDREN OF GOD, BLOOD WOMEN ROSES and SHAME HUMILITY REVENGE. I don't think Gira ever came close to the perfection of these LPs!
Thank You for posting this. My ex-girlfriend snaked this record from me. My favorite album probably ever! I bought it for $7 in 1990. I hear it's worth a lot now. If I had it, I would never sell it.
@babypianocries When I saw her sing it live, Jarboe explained that they'd written this song for "interview with a vampire." So yeah, it's definitely about vampires!
Yeah, Jarboe was really perturbed, that Gira ended Swans. I remember her saying that she didn't even know that it was the Final Tour at first when they started it or words to that effect. I can't remember her exact quote.
@Herbalaussie well, Gira, has another SWANS going now, with longtime member guitarist, Norman Westberg back in the fold. Have you heard about that? Check out the site on myspace.

I'll live forever, I'll never be filled
I'll never imagine I can change what I killed
I destroy what I love, I drain what is filled
And I live by the heart of the things I kill
I will be alive for a thousand years
This memory will never leave, this body won't die
This body is a temple stolen from the Lord
I'll walk in his shadow for a thousand years
This is the gift I was given at birth
I'll walk in your shadow for a thousand years
One thousand years
Hmm...I thought it was guilt, not gift......
Very spiritual. Wonderful.
what a voice !! I love Jarboe.
I remember finding this song on my iPhone when I was in hospital for three months in 2010. It's like it appeared on there.....
this is still sooooo beautiful Jarboe! You were a big inspiration to me..

I found my copy at a local record store for just $1
I wore this album out! How great to hear one of my favorites again. Thanks!
A divine masterpiece!!
such soulful voice...reminds me of old Bond movies
I love this.
breathtaking.
that's a big yam she's holding
Underrated project

StrangersInATangled I knew it!
Thanks for uploading this! Been looking for it!! Love this. Memories.......
I have very similar memories...Usually "Deliver Me" from Diamanda's Saint of the Pit would follow this song..
I've wanted to see this for years, thanks for posting!
I had this and Girl Come Out on vinyl...not sure where they are...but I miss it so much!
Had those on Vinyl to back in the eighties,Swans and Cocteau twins etc got me through the depressing/boring days ✨🕊

Meh, not Jarboe's best nor Swan's best. Just mediocre Annie Lennox vibes.
