When I first started my university courses, back in 2010 and 2011, I used to travel for two hours eveyday to get to the campus. I lived far away, or the school was far away, one of the two. Needless to say, I would take my Ipod with me. I was going through a serious Swans kick back then, just newly discovering their genius music. Soon enough, those excursions in the name of education and me being on time to class (which I never was anyway) became hardcore listening sessions devoted to this record and "Soundtracks for the Blind" I was playing them to death, sometimes going into a deep trance that was hard to come of. It was hard to pretend I wanted to listen to anything anybody had to say after experiencing such stellar works of art. Suddenly the mundane commuting and public transportation seemed fun and almost something that I was looking forward to, even more so than going to class. Since I was always late, once I got to campus I would take major strolls around and keep listening to more. I became obsessed. It was almost too good. I couldn't help it. I was enthralled. I always listened to some more on the way back and on bathroom breaks. I ended up ditching that class only to come back at the end of the course and pass it on one test. Swans became my favorite band. And I was about to really see what it was all about.
what an awesome version of this song.... Thanks for posting. Every time I listen to The Swans, I just stop everything else in my life...and simply listen.
I've spent the last 16 years wondering what the hell that song at the beginning was. After a couple of hours listening to different versions of the Whiffenpoof Song, I have finally found it. It is by the Sons of the Pioneers. Uploaded it to TH-cam now, skip to 1:22. th-cam.com/video/bnO4gUkTiCY/w-d-xo.htmlm22s
It sounds like a looped recording of "Gentleman Rankers" by an old country band. You can hear the words "We're all little lambs who have lost our way!", which are lyrics to the song. I've yet to find what band it is though. Absolutely stunning song.
There’s no Apollonian physical sun god because the inteternal Christ is the Sunne of the Mind. Especially after Jesus nukes the sun. Blake made this clear

If this was blasted from the top of the Sun Pyramid in Teotihuacán during one of night rituals, the world would end!

Thank you, good sir.

Absolutely stunning song.
Should've put a close up shot of Gira there at the very last second lol Would've gone well with that yell.
Think the sample is The Whiffenproof Song, check out Rudy Vallee's version, which is similar, skip to 1:17...
Hey MyStrangeMind, can you please tell me where the video clip of the sun and the water cam from? Thanks!
