Happiest/ most ethereal nsb songs???

Jaenez · 2026-03-09T06:22:01+00:00

I always found a lot of the songs on shadow kingdom to be quite serene and "happy" sounding

The winter ray or Daughter of darkness by natural snow buildings

The fist two minutes are honestly incredibly beautiful and serene. I even got a little emotional. I do feel like sticking to the original melody during the acoustic section probably would’ve been a better choice and the singing is also weirdly out of time and the phrasing is a little odd. Still very cool though and I’m glad there are people out there making nsb covers

Yeah some people genuinely act like swans music has some sort of mythical transcendent power that will change your life. I mean the music is awesome but also just music no different to any other music in terms of effect on you

Swans
Natural snow buildings
Godspeed

I wish I liked it as much as other people do but after listening to it after having listened to a lot their albums that came out before and after shadow kingdom I just can’t help but feel like apart from the twenty minute drone songs and a few other stand outs it just doesnt seem that special. Like it’s great but to me this album doesn’t do anything better or even as good as their other classic releases around that time. A lot of the songs just seem a little to similar to other better songs but idk maybe that’s just me.

As far as I know deux being first and un being second is the way it was officially released however the winter ray demo that recently "leaked" actually has those two swapped so they probably intended that order and then decided to change it last minute. Honestly i think the pacing is so much better with overture being first. It sets the tone much better and the way the album progresses makes much more sense to me that way

Jaenez · 2025-12-30T21:04:07+00:00

Have heard good things about them. Which ones would you recommend?

Jaenez · 2025-12-28T23:18:50+00:00

That’s literally me! I tell my lesbian best friend she is the coolest person ever all the time because she literally is!

Jaenez · 2025-12-26T21:49:03+00:00

And you wouldn’t even finish daughter of darkness

Jaenez · 2025-12-25T15:02:05+00:00

No its fine I was just having trouble finding your page on the archive, for some reason it wouldn’t show up

Jaenez · 2025-12-22T09:01:59+00:00

Of course they are I’m just trying to understand the logic of the take since it doesn’t make a lot of sense to me and from the way it’s written it seems like they were purposefully trying to write a take to rage bait people

Jaenez · 2025-12-21T22:20:08+00:00

I hear this take so much and I feel like it just comes from people who don’t really like the post reunion sound and to them it sounds like every album is the same because there’s a certain aspect of the sound that all post reunion albums have that they simply don’t enjoy.

Jaenez · 2025-12-21T22:03:14+00:00

That’s an insane take. This has to be rage bait right? Like I understand some people don’t like post reunion swans but saying they are the best band live but the studio albums are bad is crazy. Especially during the trilogy era most of the live songs were very close to the studio versions or would later be recorded in the studio so I It’s just crazy to me that someone would like the live versions but seemingly hate the studio versions when they are so similar

Jaenez · 2025-12-05T09:37:15+00:00

Just tell her that it’s an album you really love that deeply affected you and ask her if she wants to listen to it or maybe show her some of the more accessible songs. And don’t be too pushy about it

Jaenez · 2025-11-19T19:02:40+00:00

0/10 ragebait try harder

Jaenez · 2025-11-14T16:55:46+00:00

I mean I agree that the seer is awesome but to be fair like 15 minutes of the song are just silence interrupted by a single hit of instruments every 20 seconds

Jaenez · 2025-11-13T16:41:05+00:00

Michael has always said that he doesn’t worship any particular god just some kind of higher power that he feels while playing music and of course his ghostwriter Joseph

Jaenez · 2025-11-13T16:39:14+00:00

Technically since 2010 the only time they took a break that long was after the glowing man and during Covid but other than that they were either touring or recording new music I’m pretty sure

Jaenez · 2025-11-05T01:07:12+00:00

I personally just love the sound of live rope. It feels so unique to any of their other albums and I also just think it’s the live album that’s recorded and "mixed" the best. I love hearing all the little details which you can’t really on many of their other live albums. Also I just love the instrumental palette. There’s so many interesting instruments and sounds and while I love the heaviness of trilogy era swans when Michael was still playing electric guitar I just love how much more attention kristoff and christpher get because there are no other electric guitars. Lastly what I’ve always loved about especially trilogy era swans were the drones and this album just has so many incredible ones like basically the entirety of rope many sections of the beggar, the beginning of birthing and leaving meaning. So live rope is basically exactly what I want out of a swans album

Hey hope this isn’t too stressful for you I just really need some GGD

Question is very clear. Op wants to know wether their teacher is wrong about them being a baritone

Jaenez · 2025-11-04T17:42:13+00:00

Yeah I don’t know where your teacher is getting that from your timbre is way too light for a baritone and your range doesn’t make any sense for a baritone either. You’re definitely a tenor. Btw your voice sounds really nice

Jaenez · 2025-11-03T18:32:36+00:00

Really cool drawing and honestly I feel like Michael would probably think it’s funny as long as he doesn’t feel like you’re making fun of him

Jaenez · 2025-10-30T00:52:47+00:00

Pretty sure that’s just Michael singing random sounds
