Top 3 Moz singles

I thought I might do a list since it's so popular in blogs thees days.

OK, this is my top 3 of Morrissey's solo tracks that have been released as singles. This is just how I feel right now.

1. Everyday is like Sunday
I bet you think "How original" right now but hey! It's a fantastic song and his voice sounds so beautiful (well, his voice is always beautiful) in it.

2. November Spawned a Monster
I never get tired of this song, but on the other hand, I hardly ever get tired at his songs ha ha. The lyric is one of my all time favorites. The line Sleep on and dream of love because it's the closest you will get to love is very moving. And don't forget the beat, very catchy indeed!

3. Now my heart is full

I have to clear my thoughts

I know I said that this blog would only be about Morrissey in my first post but I feel that I have to bother you with some personal feelings right now. Sorry for this...

OK, here's the thing. This is my last year in school and it's now less than 5 months until it's over. Everyone feels exited about the future and they all look forward to the last day of school. Me, on the other hand just feel anxiety about the future, I see no light what so ever. You know how Moz sings "No, I've never had a job because I've never wanted one" in the Smiths song You've got everything now. Well, that's true. I've never had a job, and why? Because I never wanted one. This tortures my soul. If you don't work you are considered lazy and useless. How could anyone want to hire me? It's beyond my understanding, no experience and no skills. My grades are not bad, they are actually quite good but how could they help me, in what way? Morrissey once said "Life is excessively overrated" and that feels very true right now. At least the "Life" the world wants you to live.

Moz in ESC?

Big news, big news everyone! Morrissey has talked to BBC about writing a song for, hang on now, Eurovision song contest! I don't know if this is good or bad really. No, I guess it's a good thing. I mean, ESC could really use some intelligence and as we all know, Morrissey's got plenty! But still, the thought of millions of people criticizing him. Hmm, could be a bit annoying. The chance of Morrissey actually singing in the ESC is probably very small. It's also hard to imagine him standing there on a big stage in that kind of forum. You may know that Morrissey is a fan of ESC and that he expressed his disappointment over the UK fiasco last year in the Eurovision. It truly was a catastrophic performance by that wannabe rapper Daz Sampson. I remember those girls in the uniforms. A bit creepy actually, an old man and a bunch of school girls. Morrissey was absolutely right about that Daz fellow.

I was horrified but not surprised to see the UK fail again. There’s a question I keep asking myself — why didn’t they ask me? It keeps going round in my head.

The Smiths: Songs that saved your life

I have just started reading Simon Goddard's book The Smiths: Songs that saved your life. I'm only at page 40 or something but I can already see that it is a really good book. It first describes how The Smiths was formed and it contains a lot of facts that I didn't knew before. Loads of quotations and anecdotes for example. Later on, it reveals the stories behind every Smiths track, even the unreleased once. The book is very interesting so far and I can really recommend it. Although I'm sure that a lot of Moz and Smiths fans have read it already. It's just me who's behind the world.

I'm just a country-mile behind the world....

Vote for Morrissey!

It was kind of sad that Morrissey finished #2 in BBC's Living Icons. Especially since he was very honored and glad to take part in it. I would have loved to see him win but unfortunately he didn't. Well, he is still an icon to all of his fans and that's what's really matters. BBC is currently holding a public vote to choose the best "Mancunian" album, artist, gig (and so on) of the year. Morrissey is nominated in three categories and it's looking good. He is in the lead in all of the three categories so far. Make sure he stays in the top and vote for him!
