Swans - Lunacy Lyrics

wise words from the author! very good song! ☻♥

Is this what a heart attack feels like?

I can't believe SWANS wrote a song about the greatest FRC game

If lord of the flies ever gets a good adaptation, they should definitely use this.

This band has some weird comment sections, i was expecting to meet a bunch of metalheads, stoners, prog listeners and psychedelic dudes in here but no... its a bunch of what seems to be Shakespeare fans and meme kids.

There is some Pink Floyd in there , can you hear it ?

LOONA found quaking.

The absolute state of the democratic party....

thank you, mother

This crazy chick named Ryleigh told me this was soothing music that would help me get to sleep. Fucking crazy Canadians. I bet I could take a foam bat and march into Canada and singlehandedly defeat their military, declare myself King and deport her to America. Yeah, I know what I'm doing for Christmas...

You're such a dork lol <3

@Ryleigh S ♥️

What does this have to do with Flat Earth? I'm so confused...

Hello me, this song is cool. Fuck Flat Earth.

come to Chile plisss!!!

Un peu diabolique la chanson, non ??

This song actually terrifies me. Like I feel nothing but pure dread when I listen to it.






10/10

Love you, Gira. Love you, Swans. ^^

Hail Macbeth !

Just discovered the absolutely brilliant "artwork" (the whole album) - music expressing all kinds of emotions of human experience!

Here from Chambers

Found them through my favorite band tool. The vocalist of tool states that this is one of the bands that influenced him many years before their band was created. Can see many parallels and influences from them.

Who's here from Chambers?

Where can I just donate to yall? I dont think I need a physical copy but I love your music so so much. <3

younggodrecords.com

funny dog

Is this beautiful? Then let’s have this album. This is the way of answering for this kind of aesthetics. Of course I’ll buy too lol.

1.25 speed

I’m watching the BTK documentary (Bind, Tie, Kill) and the Happy Death Day commercial came on while playing goth music.

i came here because of greentext to hear what this sounds like and now i wish i didnt and i want to delete music now.

>hang around on 4chan
>see anon talking about putting The Seer on a overcrowded bar jukebox
>know nothing about The Seer so go listen on youtube
>comment section is talking about McBeth and childhood being over
>I don't get the joke
>I listenned to something totally new and I still don't know what to think of it

>hang around on 4chan


that's where you messed up, bud

Découvert dans l'excellente série "Il miraculo"... hypnotique!

I just noticed the picture slowly zooms out...

I like the bit where there's music playing and michael gira is making vocal noises. Am I the only one?

Comple shit

Just made a tribute video with this song.
Kylo Ren - Lunacy

Came here thanks to Johnkennmortensen

Es parte de la Serie El milagro.

Do people who listen to swans unironically hate themselves or what?

Hail Macbeth!

Just heard this song the other night in the Australian movie, 1%. Great movie

After devouring Sonic Youth, Glenn Branca, & Rhys Chatham for years, I can't believe it took this long to finally check out Swans. Very good stuff

I love Swans and Sonic Youth, never listened to Glenn or Rhys before, will check out soon, thanks!

I feel deeply intrigued by this music. Can someone explain why?

Just go with it. Keep listening.

Bring Jarboe back!

Greentext?

the miracle.

this track sort of pisses the wife off ,dunno why

man this is the nicest description i've ever read
i really wish i had enough money to buy the album and support the band

absolutely! you are a young god as well!

it's sort of nice but also sort of terrifying

Il Miracolo.

This tune’s at the end of episode 3 of “Il Miracolo” by Niccolò Ammaniti. Awesome & creepy tv series!

A circle of turkeys brought me here...

Best opening ever

kill the truth

"I have given S U C C" - Lady Macbeth 1606

Swans est unique . . . Swans est humain . . . Swans m'accompagnent dans ma peinture . . . Avec Swans ou on adore ou on déteste . Merci Mr Michael Gira

This gave me both joy AND pleasure!

I found this sacred band through "A Little God in My Hands" and hated it. Then I loved it. That's the way it goes with Swans. This is awesome. This is sacred. I love you!

You can skip the first two minutes of this song and still get the whole picture.

Alexander Chippel no

bent down and grabbed some snow, just to feel it in my hands a minute ago. something tells me where I'm going I'm not going to feel the snow for a very long time.

One of my all time favorite desert island Albums

Thank you for sharing your awesome music with us. You are excellent.

A Captain Hydra Fanedit brought me here.

Fantano brought me here

I'm pretty fat and eccentric, are you sure you love me? I won't be offended if you withdraw your sentiment.

this song does not help with my anxiety

What's with that chant "Lunar Sea, Lunar Sea"???

Lunacy*

meh, it was meh

Your childhood, is over.

This is how I am feeling right now, lol.

Heard this whole album while reading Blood Meridian. Needless to say, It's a religious experience.

Gosh, the artwork for this album is creepy... I love it!

your medium.

All hail.

Music for grown-ups!

Thank you.

Hey Mr. Gira, Alan and Mimi are from my hometown of Duluth, Minnesota! So cool to see you have local talent features on your record! ❤

^Featured

Interesting choice of words in the description

this is so beautifully intense.

I love you too, Michael

Hydra Cap brought me here.

all hail to vordeel

Better than Bohemian Rhapsody.

Kyle Potato true that.

Dumb comparison..

Jules Gilmour Recently watched Bohemian Rhapsody?

@disappearer I saw, I didn't like what I saw.

@disappearer nope.. don't care for queen. But the comparison is so fuckin dumb. Doesn't surprise me. Swans fanbase is full of total morons as evident from comments section!

I fucking love you, /mu/

macbeth

all hail

Are they saying "Your childhood, is over" over and over towards the end?

Godspeed Swans and Neurosis top 3 bands since the 70s

Steven Dormer current 93

I wish I was home listening to Swans.

This party sucks

Are they wearing abercrombie? plebs

my feet hurts

Amedeo Zanotto p

I know it's a meme, but I blast Seer, TBK & TGM in my car every fucking day. I shake all of the cars within a 1 block radius during Bring The Sun and Frankie M. I fucking love this band!

WOW... this is one of the most intense recordings I have ever heard. Seriously... this is amazing from a listening and creating the images in your mind stand point.

wise words on the video description, thank you too Michael

No wonder Mynard and Tom Morello used to take notes from Michael's music..! Its very inspiring..

ONORE A MACBETH!

I found

dam this song is like taking a nice long shit DAM. lyrics are great. gira you a smart cookie, we all crazy or denyin it. you know it, i know it, lets go chill wit roger waters. the concepts of lunacy remind me of darkside of the moons concept but while dark side is more empathetic and like dam we all crazy look at ourselves, this is like DAM WE ALL CRAZY LOOK AT YO CRAZY ASS SELF its horrifying! love it. thats my thoughts anyway peace

This is the highlight of Swans era II for me.

I guess you could argue that. I never really separated pre-Jarboe from the other stuff. I've also only been a Swans fan for fifteen years, so older people will have different attachments to definitions of Swans.

yeah, you certainly would separate pre - Jarboe Swans from what went on with her addition.

you guys make great music !

all hail Mcbeth!

this is supposed to be music?

Yes, what makes you think it's not?

Nice try fuzzy balls.

+Insanity5163 his shitty taste of music

Fuzzyballs01 Exactly what separates this from music?

I love how haunting and creepy this song is :D It just makes me so happy

Me encanta!!! ❤

Ok, gonna find out what these swans guys are all about now.

It will be like going deep down to your subconciousness...maybe not always a cheerful experience, but yours.
