Gira is genius...

this man is fucking awesome

the depth of that baritone hasn't been heard since "Children of God"...where'd it go?

@TheKnifeWon Nah, not rip off, it's very cool. In fact the bass riff from the Jarboe live version of "I Crawled! in the "Swans are Dead" live 2 CD set (and the same riff used in the current Swans tours) is featured in one of the songs in Gira's "Body Lovers" project.
Cool stuff :)

Never knew a video version like this exists! Many thanks for uploading.

Soon...I'll see him ]

I love the way he looks into the camera. We can all pretend he is singing this to us! Really good for learning chords too

The riff from the lesser knowns "Was he ever alive" is very similar to this one, albeit played with more violence.

@FractalBolt Yes it is! Is it ripping off when it's your own work? Haha. I hadn't listened to that song in a long time.

No. The only ones I have that aren't already are on YouTube are ones I've already uploaded.
I'm still impressed every time I watch this video, mostly because watching a voice like that come out of a person, knowing it hasn't been altered to be more resonant or something, is surreal.
