the more you explore me!
retired :)
I finally gave a song a ten. One of my favorites. Makes me think of myself (in younger days) wrapped in a huge over coat, with my walkman playing, walking along a street on a chilly day.
I read it the other way. Morrissey (or "the narrator", if you prefer) starts out by chastising his companion for laughing at the lonely, because it hits "too close to home".
But then it changes - Mozzer "drives the point home" on the cold leather seats of the car, and realises that he "just might die with a smile on my face after all". He's finally "getting some" - that's what he's always seen happening in other people's lives, and it's finally happening in his.
The content of the lyrics is certainly sad, but the music and the lyrics are so beautiful that the song becomes uplifting rather than depressing. I think thats what dothatagain? means when he/she says "oddly uplifting". If so, then I agree.
P.S does anyone know if Morrissey has played this live since The Smiths?
very true. although I was really disappointed to discover that he totally ganked that line "I've seen this happen in other people's lives, and now it's happening in mine." I forget from where, one of those movies...but I read it in "the Songs that Saved your life." I was really upset at first, but I got over it. it fits perfectly with the song.
Would Marr even consider to produce a Morrissey album, asked by the Man?
Which songs are in the lead at the minute?
13 songs with The Smiths and 4 solo.
