Zwan - The empty sea

From the show at the Glass House, Pomona, CA, 16/11/2001.

This is the version I like the most. The lyrics are a little different on this one than other live versions. Feel free to leave a message and to rate the song if you like it.


i've searched and searched for you
in every face i've passed
and i've searched through their souls
from the coolest springtime
until decembers cruel

no matter what i do
i was only searching for you
with every step i choose
i was only searching for you

my ships sail the empty seas
running our crossbones
to seek your poetry divine
my words are used up
and rhymes that brought you down

no matter what i do
i was only searching for you
with every step i choose
i choose you
to do what i must do
i must go on searching for you
no matter what i do
i choose you

i built my temples there
to speak your name alone
i've pissed my life away in every way i've known
i'm not sure what i've seen
but still my heart is sewn up
inside your tattered clothes

no matter what i do
i was only searching for you
with every step i choose
i was only searching for you
to do what i must do
i must go on searching for you
to do what i must do
i choose you

release me so i can love again
release me so i can love again, love again
release me so i can love again, love again
release me so i can love again

@PuReNiRvANA1 This was before Paz was in the band- Dave Pajo played the bass for Zwan at first

[Feanaro5503]

My favorite Bill Corgan song out of the hundreds and hundreds I have listened to.

It seems like this version was modified a bit to kill the crowd noise and lower the static hiss. It doesn't sound as sharp, but casual listeners will probably like this mix better.

Is it weird

This song was uploaded 2 years ago today?

I was at this show. David Pajo and Jimmy Chamberlin were so hungover - ha ha ha.

Anyway, this my FAVORITE ZWAN song ever is referenced in

"Swim WithOUT Sharks ~

The REAL Surfer's Paradise:

Guide to shark attack-free Destinations of the World"

a new book released just this week on Amazon.

Thank you Billy Corgan for being such a prolific inspiration!

@PuReNiRvANA1 Not yet because I'm trying to start a band, when I get a guitarist and a drummer I'll post our work. I'v already written three great songs and a few not so songs: "Deaf Ears," "Love Me And My Screwed Up Head," and "Break These Chains."

[PuReNiRvANA1]

wtf did they replace paz with a deer lol whats that all about anybody know?

[PuReNiRvANA1]

@nicholsjoshua15 do you have any of your own recordings?
