Minus Something Lyrics

Cover art for Minus Something lyrics by Swans

The vocals (from the sampling) in this song sound so...faded, tired, and I guess you could say, worn-out. It fits with the rest of the album so well (the whole idea about old age, deteroration, etc, which was further enforced by the title of their last live album "Swans Are Dead").

Anyone know where they got the vocals from, or who performed them? That goes for I Was a Prisoner In Your Skull, too.

On the website that Gira created to release Swans albums, Young God Records, if you dig deep enough you'll find that Jarboe had a series of tapes from FBI field interviews. I seem to recall reading that her father was an FBI agent, but don't quote me on that.

To the best of my knowledge, the samples you hear on Soundtracks are the sole property of Jarboe. Pity. I'd love to hear them.
