Will Morrissey ever walk alone?

[zither]

Do you think Moz should cover You Will Never Walk Alone?
if so, how would it sound?

 

[Kewpie]

What makes you think Morrissey should play cover version of the song?


Many Mancunian people booed when cover version (by Smoking Popes and Nina Simone) of the song was played during the intermission of his gigs.

 

[sistasheila]

i like this song a lot..always get shivers hearing shirley sing it while you see images of moz at wolverhampton and his fans on the hulmerist video...very powerful

i know nothing about football because i dont care about the sport, but i read here t that hey did boo cause it is an anthem of one of the liverpool football clubs, right?

And?

Just because it is a song associated with Liverpool FC Moz cannot play it?
Morrissey always plays a controversial card - it is a great song and he can do what he likes despite some nobs deciding to boo it.

I don't Morrissey is weak enough to cower away due to it not being some people's favourite.

Love PTxx.

because I can easily assume he really likes this song, isn't it?

 

[mcrickson]

I like it, and I think it would be a good cover, but I don't think he ever would.

 

[Kewpie]

yeah

because I can easily assume he really likes this song, isn't it?

Fair enough.
Morrissey said in a recent interview that he's no longer interested in football.
Personally I'd be very grateful if he keeps distance from anything to do with football.

It isn't just a football song - the lyrics are very distant from football and can be applied to any situation.
Why should he keep distance from football though? Is he not allowed to be interested in the game?

Love PTxx.

Re: yeah

The first time I ever heard it was when my mom dragged me to a high school production of the musical Carousel that my sister was working on, and even though I wanted to hate the show, that song got me all choked up.

It's a beautiful song!

I hope Morrissey does a covers album one day.....

PS - Elvis and Frank Sinatra covered it too

It's settled then.

I couldn't imagine Morrissey singing this song - I have nothing against it, I just think this song isn't made for Morrissey's voice.

(What's the problem if it's associated with a football team? Munich is about an accident accoured with football team.)

 

[kyleleonard]

no cos he'd look like a c***

 

[j0wled]

I've never cared for the song. He should cover Blue Moon.

Munich isn't a football team that divides his fanbase

hope not leave it to the scousers to mull over

Didn't he say that during 'The Importance Of Being Morrissey'? If so that was four years ago.
Two years ago he was watching the Chivas play in LA.

As for the song? As Morrissey himself said at the Apollo in 2006 (in reply to the boo's) ''That song goes further than Anfield''.
But no..... he shouldn't record it

I love that song. it means so much to so many people including Morrissey.
He has attended football games across England when Liverpool played in the 90´s.

Munich is a city.. but the song is about a football team that died in an accident....

Yes, obviously.
But I'm saying..gah, oh nevermind. It's not worth it

 

[anon x]

Forget the football connotations which ruin a great song from a great musical.

The Carousel version (where the song works perfectly in the story)
is where it's at.

Morrissey would do justice to that version.
