First class collage for my fave tune from 'White Light', although for some reason I'm not quite taken with the tattooed dude writhing in his red knickers. From which Takeshi movie has the image of the zombie in the meadow been gleaned? Thanks for posting!

beautiful song, brilliant album, timeless group..enough said..nice video by the way, where did the visuals come from?

[tralalalatum]

Hi, visuals come from "The Fountain"-Darren Aronofsky "Izo" "Big Bang Love, Juvenile A"-Takashi Miike and "Alice" by Jan Svankmajer

Now I'm not a man

and I don't feel love

And I don't see anything

coming down from above

But this world spins slowly

and I see a light

Rising up from behind the horizon

up into the clear black sky

But I don't see you in my line of sight

In fact I can't remember why we are alive

An amazing song from an amazing artist and you put together an amazing video for it. I've watched this many, many times over the past year or so and it always moves me. Great job. VIVA LA GIRA!!!!

This moved me to tears. Few things do anymore. Swans are the greatest band of ALL TIME; taking us from the darkness to the light and everything inbetween. Perfect synthesis of music AND content. MG is the greatest living, yet underappreciated musician/songwriter of our age....but not by me. If you are hip to this, don't miss them in 2010; it might change your life as it did mine.
