When this album was being written and recorded (2005-2006), Morrissey was living in Rome and was seeing a man he calls Gelato, but who is actually called Gabriele. He owns a restaurant in Rome and he and Moz were frequently seen together at the time. Morrissey writes about the affair briefly in his autobiography. Although, characteristically, he doesn't go into much detail. I've never thought of Morrissey as particularly secretive about his sexuality. He said as early as 1983 that he was interested in men and women. I've always sensed that his interest is mostly for men, though.
Fun fact: the strings at the end were Ennio Morricone's, who did the string arrangement for the entire song but then Morrissey decided not to use his arrangement. For next week's suggestion: 'Wide to Recieve' off of Maladjusted, the first song written about the internet!
the heart feels free coda and the echo engulfing the voice and then it's gone. and enio's magic. what a beautiful song (about kegs between legs and legs spread and... legs) ☺️ greeeeat composition.
I love your channel, man. Considering that you seem to like The Smiths/Pulp/Manics etc, you should try The Libertines. A very important band with a dense mythology and fantastic lyrics. All the best to your and your channel.
Thanks Nick just fabulous. Regarding the endless speculation about his sexuality, there's a few surprises in his autobiography. I don't want to give too much away but he does catch the bad guy in the end before handing his badge in
Some Moz suggestions. Sorry if you have already done them. Ganglord. Friday mourning. Come back to Camden A song from under the floorboards (a cover of a song by Magazine). Moz has done some really good covers.
This is the best song on this album by a country mile and very different to the rest of the album, so do not think that this is the mood for the whole album, it is real shame it was not in this mood, the rest are just rockers.
That's not entirely true. This album also has Life is a Pigsty, I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now and To Me You are a Work of Art, none of which are rockers by any stretch.
Some Morrissey suggestions Alsatian Cousin Angel, Angel down we go together Girl Least Likely to Happy Lovers at last United Lifeguard on Duty National Front Disco Sunny I like You Staircase at the University
Can I suggest The Bluetones and specifically their first album Expecting To Fly. It knocked oasis off number 1 in 1996 and is at the same time underrated and a classic of the Britpop era. It's much more accomplished and mature than a lot of what was released around then. You could start with the big singles, Slight Return and Bluetonic but I'd really recommend the opening track Talking to Carry and the album track Carnt Be Trusted. With what you've been listening to I think you'll really like this
A beautiful heart tugging master piece, the genius of Morrissey!
This is what Morrissey does. Makes you smile but your heart breaks for him too.
This song is my favorite from the album, I agree with you such a beautiful song. Great video man, I really needed another Morrissey Friday!

Nick was visibly surprised when Morrissey was spreading his legs.
