How can anyone not like this song

[@larissakelle3008]

I ask at myself the same😢

[@mistersurrealist]

Underrated single. I think it's one of his best, melodically and lyrically.

[@AngelisaJosalisa]

This song got me through the day today. And Morrissey got me through life in general.

[@kennguyen4510]

I hope you got to be better than your thought you could be. I’ve got through a lot with Morrisey and the Smiths. I wish you the same.

[@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454]

If I ever have another serious relationship, it will have to be with someone who gets & appreciates Morrissey. Miles Davis, optional. Morrissey, required. You tell me if I’m kidding. -Matt’s now solo dad. Viva MOZZA!

Hi my name is ALMA and i was in high school when this beautiful piece came out. I love you Steven Patrick Morrissey for life.

@@Juliana-xl2fudo not make fake assumptions. He has never held a press conference, he has never voted in both USA & England. Just because his art has themes of right-wing doesn't mean his personal opinions are right-wing. And many of the right-wing themed so gs are quite ironic more than they are completely serious.

[@higgolini]

"It's my life to wreck my own way." I think about this line when I feel the judgement from family and others about the direction I've taken in my life. Reminds me that even if I've made mistakes and done things others disagree with, ultimately everyone has to live their own life and can't live just to satisfy someone else.

Best voice on earth....

[@wintherr3527]

Morrissey's lyrics are often so clear and straightforward that it's impossible not to relate to, even if your life circumstances are completely different from his. He's not actually a poet, not in the traditional sense of this term at least, because poets love flourished and artificial language, while Moz's language is always natural and always brutally honest. He reminds me of Leonard Cohen in this regard, even though they are not musically related. Maybe it's because his life experiences, that lead to his writing his painful lyrics, are much more relatable than the wild fantasies and never ending party lives of 'traditional' rock stars. Here we have a real man, talking about real situations, in a real world, not a piece of fiction. He may sound exaggerated and even over-dramatic sometimes, but if you think how many people feel exactly like him, but are afraid of ever letting their true souls, their true feelings exposed, you will feel grateful because there are artists like him. He somehow manages to make the harsh reality of human existence more tolerable by exposing it just as it is, and I don't know how he manages it, because generally we crave for an escape, we crave for illusions. Maybe we should think of this as part of his charm, part of his charisma, as part of the mystery that makes him the fantastic singer-songwriter that he is. Long live, Moz, dear friend.

[@eightiescrazy]

Very well said. It's not healthy to pretend one is happy all the time, and Morrissey's songs help me feel the painful emotions, move through them, and come out the other side with a smile on my face 😊

[@elizabeth-qx2bs]

You couldn’t describe it better!

[@vegasvince]

....to sum it up....MOZ IS ABLE TO "BE PLUGGED IN" AND EXPRESS PERFECTLY THE HARSH REALITY OF LIFE....NOT FAKING TO GAIN IDOL STATUS....WITH THAT... TONGUE- IN-CHEEK WE ALL LOVE...👍

[@cc92103]

I’ve heard him say that from very early on, he’s wanted to express himself thru songs instead of poetry.

[@user-wc2uc7so2l]

That's such a greatly written critique, with beautiful sentiment, you've really grasped the concept of Morrissey and the legacy of the Smiths. Oh Manchester, so much to answer for x
