Swans - The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black Lyrics

Sonic better

This is great, but imo Sonic Youth's manic original is far better

GR Rich true. I can’t get that Lee Ranaldo guitar sound out of my head.

la wea fome. nada nuevo si es swans.

Just realized the total length of the track and the transition point are based around multiples of 7

sonic youth made the definitive version of red, but this i can get behind.

Agreed, but M. Gira wrote the original

i really really like this album

Sounds like a meditative cowboy.

I love that it transitions exactly halfway through the song

like in kirsten supine!

@Alexis Blais kirsten supine has one of the best transitions in a song in atleast this century

11:50 on is otherworldly

Is Gira a part time hypnotherapist?

I was listened this song for first time with my friends'sister a.g.
She was amazing❤😍
And this song was amazing incredible fantastic entertaining😍😍

I feel like thus comment should be on a Bruno mars video not here but thats none of my buisness

I will.

Swans - The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black Lyrics:

[Verse 1: The World Looks Red]
Push it away
The world looks red
People with fish eyes
The ground sucks
Walk on my fingertips
Displacing the fog (Silver, na na, silver)
The weight of my body (Silver, na na, silver)
Is too much to bear (Silver, na na, silver)
The memory drains (Silver, na na, silver)
The life from a dog (Silver, na na, silver, silver, silver)
An ocean of insects (Silver, na na, silver)
Works like a sheet (Silver, na na, silver, silver, na na)
The immoveable fact (Silver, na na, silver, silver)
Buries my mind (Silver, na na, silver, silver, na na)
Bury my mind (Silver, na na, silver)
Bury my mind (Silver, na na)
Bury my mind (Silver, na na)
Bury my mind (Silver, na na, silver)
In a horse-hair coat (Silver, na na, silver, silver)
In a pile (Silver, na na, silver)
On the floor (Silver, na na)
On the floor (Silver, na na)
On the floor (Silver, silver, na na, silver)
Bury my mind
Bury my mind (Silver, na na, silver)
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Mother, bury my mind, mother, bury my mind
Bury my mind, mother bury my mind
Bury my mind, mother bury my mind
Mother bury my mind, mother bury my mind
Mother bury my mind, bury bury my mind
Bury bury my mind, bury bury my mind
Bury bury my mind, bury bury my-

[Verse 2: The World Looks Black]

At the love show, I love how they melded this melody with the lyrics from Some Things We Do.

That is fucking super.

This side of swans reminds me of a lot of post-punk bands and a lot like bauhaus!!

I mean they used to be a post-punk band...

the first part has the same lyrics as a song by sonic youth

I was thinking the exact same thing! :)

@leonardo f Gira gave it to them back then, have a google...I saw it somewhere.

@leonardo f The first part was originally a Sonic Youth song that Gira wrote, off of their album Confusion is Sex. So technically it is a Sonic Youth song that Gira happened to write.

Love the flute at 6:08.
It's the little details that make this music so intriguing.

Absolutely

that melody could last for days, i wouldn't get tired of it. So catchy and melancholic, but warm and comforting at the same time.

thank you Michael for these last three masterpieces, already have them in phisical copy. Please, keep the music coming, we love you too
