NYSSA - The Swans

"The Swans” is a present day, apocalypse-era reply to Springsteen's “Dancing In The Dark” or Bowie’s “Modern Love”. I wrote it before the pandemic, but in anticipation of the need to live above and against the fire and brimstone, to forever fall in love with the natural world. The forsaking of matrimony in “The Swans” is just another chain-cutting metaphor, another way of saying no to the trappings of the past and committing to a freer future. It's an anti-property love song directed at the entire experience of living.
