Daily Jam - Swans (Life After Death)

In the early '00s, i was a big fan of Canadian band The Unicorns.  Naturally they broke up.  But then a few years later, a couple of the members resurfaced with their new band Islands who were also good.  So it's all okay i guess.  Anyway, here's "Swans (Life After Death)," our Daily Jam.
