Oxygen - from the album To be Kind by Swans

Hello everyone!

Oxygen is one of the most powerful songs on To be Kind, and this is probably due to the moment that inspired the writing of it.
Michael Gira (composer) suffered a strong asthmatic attack that lead him to be rushed to the hospital.
The song takes the desperation of not being able to breath to make the listener feel the anxiety and even the acceptance of possible dead that the author felt during the attack.
