Ακούμε το διαλογιστικό epic των Swans ’The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black’ από το άλμπουμ τους του 2016 The Glowing Man. Οι στίχοι του πρώτου μέρους είχαν πρωτοεμφανιστεί, με άλλη μουσική, στο τραγούδι – συνεργασία του Gira με τους Sonic Youth ‘The World Looks Red’ (Confusion Is Sex, 1983). Όσο για την κλιμάκωση του δεύτερου μέρους (από 5:27 και μετά) συνιστά εκστατική εμπειρία. 🟡 🟡 We are listening to the meditative epic by Swans, ‘The World Looks Red / The World Looks Black’ from their 2016 album The Glowing Man. The lyrics of the first part originally appeared with different music in the song/collaboration between Gira and Sonic Youth, “The World Looks Red”, from their 1983 album Confusion Is Sex. As for the escalation in the second part (from 5:27 onward), it constitutes an ecstatic experience.

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
The weight of my body
Is too much to bear
The memory drains
The life from a dog
An ocean of insects
Works like a sheet
The immovable fact
Of the world looks red The World Looks Black
Follow the Sleeper Man, follow the Maker Man
Follow the Keeper Man, follow the Leaver Man
Follow the Sleeper Man, follow
Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow, follow, follow, follow
B-b-bombs are going, b-b-bombs are going
B-b-bombs are going, b-b-bombs are going
Follow the Sleeper Man, follow the Maker Man
Follow the Keeper Man, follow the Leaver Man
Follow the Sleeper Man, follow
Follow, follow, follow, follow
Follow, follow, follow, follow
The world is ours
The world is ours
The world is ours
The world is ours
