      They played this live when I saw them back in 2012. Everytime Chris played they baseline it felt like I was getting hit in the chest

      saw them in ljubljana two days ago, was right next to the stage, in front of chris acctualy, i could feel how the bass made the hair on my arms move and if i looked up or opened my mouth i felt it in my throat, a beautiful and unsettling feeling

      There's a version of Swans playing Coward in Ljubljana in 1986 on Kill The Child, and the full show can be found here:th-cam.com/video/wnKVABTaliA/w-d-xo.html @@levvercic4324

    This is the first time in my entire life I'd describe a song as being my 'drug'. Not in a cringy, hyperbolic expression of enjoyment sense, but in a self-medicating sense. Listening to this exact version of Coward is like aspirin... makes the bad stuff in my head go away

    Man this version is like Blues Clues compared to the live Screw version from the 80's. That version is terrifying. This is still badass though.

    • @TeaDrinker3000
      @TeaDrinker3000 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Personally I disagree. The old version is angry and intense, and working from a place of desperation. You can't have desperation without a belief in the existence of hope to contrast with it.
      This 2013 version on the other hand is just utterly insane. It lies outside the realms of a man's ability to reason at all.

    • @drpibisback7680
      @drpibisback7680 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This new live version seems to be drawing more on the heavier sound of Filth and Cop. The ultra-slow Public Castration version and spooky album version are both ominous in a really different way to this version.
