Morrissey / The Smiths

[Tiny Dancer]

I love them!
The lyrics can become womewhat whiney, but they are still so so beautiful.
My favourites are:
There is a light that never goes out
Pretty girls make graves
I know it's over (most depressing song ever)
How soon is now?
and Last night I dreamt that somebody loved me.

Fave album is The Queen is Dead. It's lovely!

I know it's over (most depressing song ever)

Yes, and I love it with all my sorry heart.

 

[electricringo]

I think Morrissey's a legend. His voice is so... unique?
My favorite album is probably The Queen Is Dead.

My favorite songs are Panic, There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, Bigmouth Strikes Again, and This Charming Man. Amaaaaazing songs.

 

[Fabulyss]

Brilliant! I got handed a backstage pass on Morissey's last tour, however my boyfriend didn't agree with the idea (he didn't get a pass) and I also wasn't feeling well from kidney stones (seriously about to pass out( That was a once in a lifetime chance.

Stretch out and wait

 

[Hipkitten]

Pretty Girls Make Graves

Still Ill

How Soon is Now?

 

[jennifer~]

What difference does it make
The Queen is dead
There is a light that never goes out
William, it was really nothing

 

[.francesca]

i like the entirety of "meat is murder" MINUS 'how soon is now?' because i've heard it way too much.

also, 'there is a light that never goes out' is the BEST love song ever written!

'big mouth strikes again'
'some girls are bigger than others'
'hand in glove'
'panic'

and lots more, really

(this is now in art of noise )

 

[drexl]

Pretty Girls Make Graves
Hand In Glove
This Charming Man
You've Got Everything Now
Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want
Shoplifters Of The World
Half A Person

 

[calexico]

oh god...
where do i start?!?!?!

how soon is now... this song is just plain wicked...
please please please let me get what i want
panic

 

[milamar]

A great thread, found just recently - thx!
So true, jennifer~, that the best ones are those that can make you feel really miserable - but it's incredible how deep they may reach you, sometimes
Here are my favs:

I Know It's Over
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
How Soon Is Now?
Girlfriend in a Coma

I also love Morrissey's solo work, especially the last album - You Are the Quarry. I hope the upcoming record will be no worse

 

[Ianastar]

oh my!!

I love Moz....have a portrait tattoo of him on my right arm.

My fave songs:

Frankly Mr. Shankly
Cemetary Gates
I Know Its Over
Used to be a Sweet Boy
Sing Your Life
The Boy With the Thorn in His Side
Come back to Camden
Moon River
Trouble Loves Me
Reel Around the Fountain
Panic


I could go on and on.

I prefer his songs that are moodier and where is comes across as more of a Crooner.

 

[sars]

miserable lie
you've got everything now
i want the one i can't have
please please please let me get what i want
back to the old house
heaven knows i'm miserable now
this night has opened my eyes
i know its over
you just haven't earned it yet, baby
girl afraid

lol, you know, i just about like everything of theirs :hs:
one of my favorite bands.

Here's a bit of an update on the Smiths... from cnn.com, they rejected a quite sizable reunion offer:

[Jacque Marcel]

"There is a light that never goes out"
"The world is full of crashing bores"

are my two faves at this moment

 

[the-smiths]

I love The Smiths and Morrissey. Such a HUGE fan.

 

[poo]

Everyday is like Sundays
Last night I dreamed that somebody loved me

 

[lemeray]

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

I was recently introduced to the Smiths and I love love this song. I can't stop listening to it.

 

[.francesca]

i read that article too, erin, and to be quite honest with you, i'm vehemently glad they're not reuniting...it may be my cynicism, but i can't imagine that their music now would be as good, and that would make me sad.

Girlfriend in a Coma
Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want

Gotta love the Smiths!
