I LOVE YOU, Michael Cunningham, for mentioning how Morrissey is such a " Darlin' " ❤ because, after All'ah, MORR IS HE!!! As a matter of fact, their Darlin' ~your kind soul so greatfully mentions~ & I, do share an Alma Mater...
I'm from Brazil, live in Dallas Texas for about 20 plus years but when that song came out in 97, I thought it was one of his best because it sounded contemporary compared to The Smiths's past material. I'd raise the volume to 11 while listening to it on my walkman in the bus going home after a 12 hours shift.
My name is Alma and I just found out for this song. For once in my life I feel special Edit post 3yr after: ( not long after this comment I got in a relationship and till now we are together. Even engaged and I have never felt so special in someones life before so put your head up you will be better someday)
"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.
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!
I love Morrissey and I love my cat. Together they make an unstoppable team. "So the choice I have made may seem strange to you. But who asked you, anyway? It's my life to wreck my own way." Spectacular.
it's pretty remarkable how many people my music touches.... I think I am very lucky in that way, I think I have you to be the most thankful fan ❤️ 🎹🌹🎹🌹🎹🌹.
@@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.
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.
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 😊
....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...👍
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

I love and listen to a lot of music, different genres, different eras.........but still, after all these years, nothing resonates as much as, and means so much to me as, what Morrissey writes and performs. It never fails to lift me.......sublime.
Morrissey there is music that you can make that is horrible. I have grown up listening to the Smiths/ Morrissey and trust me it don't disappoint. And trust me I'm up there in age 42 to be exact. My Wife and I grew up to listening to you oh and now we got our Kids liking your music to the point of going to your October Concert in San Diego 👍

Aweome song, awesome lyrics: "So the life I have made May seem wrong to you But, I've never been surer It's my life to ruin My own way" Put Morrissey in your life.
Maravillosa declaración de principios de Morrissey. Cuando apareció en las radios, la crítica "especializada" dijo que era el "peor single" no sólo del disco sino también de la carrera del ex Smiths. ¿Qué tenían en la cabeza esos "críticos"?
Es una canción hermosa y una de las mejores de su discografía. Ya lo decía Woody Allen "los críticos son como los impotentes, saben cómo se hace todo, pero no lo pueden hacer".
Davis Fountain He has Barratt's Esophagus. Most people with that have to have scrapes to screen for cancer as it can go that way. I haven't heard him say he has cancer.
I love this man. I think the establishment cant cope with the challenging truth. Its not rocket science that Morrissey entitled one of his albums ' Vauxhall & I.. He wasn't talking about a car... xx
As a Mancunian, I am baffled as to why this undeniably Manc artist appeals to Manchester people AND Spanish-speaking people! Totally different in temperament but equally touched by Mozzer... Weird. 😃 👍
Finalmente encontrei tô à mas 10 anos procurando por essa música só não sabia o nome dela. Uma das mas lindas músicas que já ouvi Grande Morryssey ADORO esse cara
I was hanging out with a very down on her luck girl named Alma who was doing drugs when this came out. She was very depressed. I turned her onto this and she came back later and thanked me like I had given her this great gift.
Thank goodness for everything you gave in your music that entertained and hung around my youngest years. Thank you Morrissey for being such a drama queen.
Gracias Mozz por haber crecido conmigo, por ser rebelde y tan directo como eres..............los genios nacen una vez jamas olvidaré que mi juventud la pasé con tus discos.
He is a prodigy in my view so original lyrics are superb and speak to you I have seen him every time he is in my area and I still have yet to touch his hand. Something compelling about him im a fan till the light goes out
Ouvi hoje novamente chorei litros de saudades de duas mães que perdi recentemente, estava passando em um lugar onde estivemos muito felizes.. Morrissey, sempre o melhor. Alma washed in tears. Alma matters in mind, body and soul.
How can anyone not like this song
I ask at myself the same😢
Seriously ❤
Porque son normales

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.
Alma in Portuguise is Soul!
I'm from Brazil, live in Dallas Texas for about 20 plus years but when that song came out in 97, I thought it was one of his best because it sounded contemporary compared to The Smiths's past material. I'd raise the volume to 11 while listening to it on my walkman in the bus going home after a 12 hours shift.
Underrated single. I think it's one of his best, melodically and lyrically.
My name is Alma and I just found out for this song. For once in my life I feel special
Edit post 3yr after: ( not long after this comment I got in a relationship and till now we are together. Even engaged and I have never felt so special in someones life before so put your head up you will be better someday)
You ARE special, dear. Stay safe, Alma.
Lovely! Well Alma, you matter!!
I'm someone, somewhere.
well,you're lucky one..nice to hear that
You are truly special Alma! I don't know you, but I do know that! And You're the only person who sees things like you do, and that's VERY important!
"It's my life to wreck my own way."

I agree. Morrissey saved me.
I love your comment, you made me feel so good with your word, I feel and think like you ❤
@@margiedahianbautistaforero7790 Thank you! Live your life! 💚
Morrissey is the soundtrack of my life.
This song got me through the day today. And Morrissey got me through life in general.
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.
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!
Morissey is the best.
Bowie too...without Bowie no Morrissey....!!!
This song is so underrated
By who???
This song and melody goes down very smoothly. Morrissey can sing the phonebook and I'd love it!
Why do you look like a school principle
Because you are devoid of a soul... GuG Fur U....
I love the chord progression throughout.

I love Morrissey and I love my cat. Together they make an unstoppable team. "So the choice I have made may seem strange to you. But who asked you, anyway? It's my life to wreck my own way." Spectacular.
I also feel the same but wonder how keeping an obligate carnivore as a pet sits with such an avowed vegetarian
Eating doughnuts. With a cat. Singing on some staircase. It has been proved: Morrissey can pull off any videoclip!
This song saved my life. Morrissey is amazing
im glad it saved you, best of luck

I’ve heard him say that from very early on, he’s wanted to express himself thru songs instead of poetry.
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
If Morrissey threw a bowl of cereal in my face it would rank highly among the most cherished moments of my life.
with soy milk?
? Am i being insulted in some droll, English way?
Lmao. Me too brother...me too.
right😂👏👏👏💞

One of my favorite singles of Moz 💫💫💫💫❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My love, I think, you will never come back, But I‘ll love you and so.. „It‘s my life to ruin. My own way.“
Thank you for the right words, Morrissey.
Alma literally means *soul* and I think that’s beautiful 😌
In portuguise
In Hungarian it means apple. Who knew Morrissey was helping keep the doctor away? What a madlad.

Morrissey is the most beautiful man in the world and no one listens to him about his causes. Animals.
hardly... while he refuses to reunite The Smiths he will always be a pos
This song brings back many memories from when I was in high school, driving a brand new 4runner, hanging out with my friends.
Love you Morrissey- no matter what- for forever and for always. Thank you for existing.

Oh Morrissey, one of the original emos that generations of teens tried to model themselves after; but could never obtain.
Please. Never comment again. You know nothing. "Emos" = a total lack of knowledge.
