Q: I wanted to ask a couple things about the last Swans record. I read in an interview that you said the song "You Fucking People Make Me Sick" was written from the perspective of a murderer or a rapist. How often do you write from fictional points of view and why? MG: Well, I think that might be an oversimplification. I wrote the song when I was just surfing the net as people tend to do these days, looking at music sites, and a side of me was looking at these fashionable hipster young people and I just kind of wanted to murder them or kill them. [Laughs] So I started writing the song from the point of view of someone thinking about that, but it's not to say that I want to do that. This persona emerged and then those words came out, and then I had Devendra sing it because it seemed better for him. Considering the way the song was written, the tone, the register of the vocals seemed better for him. I thought I would remove it from being me, Michael Gira, singing it and make it more of a song in and of itself. So, that's how it evolved. |

The title and lyrics of the song are wrong, it's Toussaint L'Ouverture -notice the missing "u" in L'Ouverture, it wouldn't sound the same without it. The lyrics can be fixed but it seems the title will have to stay as it is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toussaint_Louverture |
