Swans - Picture of Mary Anne

[sleeping2dr3am]

.....exquisitely surreal ~ & the photo you chose adds to this haunting ambiance

[autodafeh242]

Yes no wonder....! this was 21 years ago and she was asked to do so, at that time it was not unusual to talk with the members of the band, but you would know... You were still shitting in your mummy's nappies...hahahaha Bye totler:-S

[Ren95]

@autodafeh242 An unfair comment. It doesnt matter how old that individual is, you shouldnt bring age into things as some sort of reasoning. I image any artisit then or today wouldnt really want someone interupting them whilst they were performing. If she was asked to do so... well, Im not really clear about the situation you had there, but still - you dont have to be condescending as regards age, its not really called for. Im 20, myself - I'll admit that I get a little irritated by these things.

[autodafeh242]

@Ren95

Sorry i didnt want to offend you or anybody else in that matter...Remember, i was 20 years once to..

But the situation was weird and that still irritates me...still...But you are right there was no need to take it out on somebody else...so i guess sorry is in order...Christopher :-)

[Ren95]

@autodafeh242 Well, I didnt expect this, lol. Surprising in a nice way :) 'Name is Laura, and apology is accepted, Christopher :)

[autodafeh242]

@Ren95 Thanks Laura...sometimes i just have to keep my big mouth shut hahaha...cheers!!

[autodafeh242]

I like the swans but the singer is an absolute stuck up cow...brrrrr...my girlfriend wanted to make pics of the due .......he kicked her off the stage....Jarbou was standing there and did nothing..we deported!...And i was truly sad because i was waiting for mona lisa mother earth...:-(

[SuperSquishface]

@autodafeh242

your girlfriend just got up to the stage to take pictures of them whilst they where playing?

No wonder he kicked her off the stage...

This song should have 113,158,798 views. Not "Friday"

[RomanWildernesOfPain]

This is the greatest song ever written....epic...art. You will not find the lyrics anywhere on the internet. You have to work for this rare gift. You must either possess liner notes or discern the lyrics by repetitious play. I resorted to the latter.

[RomanWildernesOfPain]

Thank you for posting this surreal track. I have listened to it a multitude of times since you posted in last spring. As per a users post below I just found out the Swans are doing a tour. I checked on the Brooklyn date and called the venue but the dude on the phone said they only rent the space. Does anyone know how to get a hold of tickets for the Brooklyn show this weekend? Otherwise I'll have to try and scalp a ticket for the Bowery show. I must digest Gira live.

[aramchek]

I'm not really here.

[JuNkCriSiS]

@therezident I think it's just a manequin so you're cool. :) hehe

[infinitytru]

[flabbyhabbybabby1]

This is the very first CD I ever purchased...ever...and it will stay with me forever.

[flabbyhabbybabby1]

Had tons of Swans LPs and tapes but compact discs were a new medium back then.

[surfininsf]

This could be the most beautiful rock song of all time.

[stiggyh]

does anyone know why gira and jarboe split up ??

[imagodtoya]

@eFloodwater THEY'RE TOURING!!!!!, There is a God.

[ExistentialRyan]

@eFloodwater its not a reunion its a revival!

[nyjeen4]

i love this

[Anathoth]

This is one of the few places I've heard this song online, and lovely as the piece is, I guess it doesn't really make a difference. If the picture works, it works. =]

Now if only I could find the Swan song Warm in a video somewhere online....

[Anathoth]

Please tell me that isn't a blow-up doll.

[DesolationRow0]

porcelain

[vina55a]

@Anathoth It appears to be a department store mannequin.

[cavalerulT]
