God this song is so good. Glad comments are still allowed here. This album is amazing. Guys I don't mean to brag but I'm going to see him finally in August and it is the greatest thing in my life right now. I am seriously getting through each day at my two "essential" jobs thinking, well, in a few months I'll be happier than I've ever been. Sorry I just had to say that. I'm so grateful Morrissey exists and still is making music like this.
@@johnnymeyer4253 It was amazing! For that brief time he was playing, I forgot all my problems. I think I wrote that comment in 2021. We went in summer 2022 also. Both years were the best concerts I've ever been to, though 2022 was even better, he did so many songs I love. I'm praying he comes back this August...he'll be in the UK in July, and mentioned Israel in July also, but I'm still holding out hope for August.. 🤞🤞🤞
@@glortw Yeah I ve been to about 25 shows over the years since 1991...he is great live, there is no one like him thats for sure. havent been in awhile but met him a oouple times always briefly. One of a kind this one....much peace....JM
Morrissey is one of the only musical artists who I can say for sure is relevant to the people. His songs touch emotionally in different ways. Lost love, feeling lost, confused, but also angry towards the world. As someone who is completely sick of the world and the people running it. Morrissey comes out in 2017 with an album that attacks the manipulative mass media, government officials that run the wars, and corrupt leaders. I don’t agree with him on everything, but damn he speaks for the people.
5:13 why wont he make music like this anymore? WHY? Can't he see that all we need is his voice, his emotion ... and a guitar. We dont need beat samples, programmed bass, hip hop textures, etc in an attempt to be "modern." Morrissey, come back to us. "The War Goes On," we need you.
Yes. Very sad, thinking of how an elderly couple would be saying this to each other as their son was killed in a meaningless war to enrich the bloodthirsty trillionaires who run this world.
That's a hard argument. I think the original musicians he started off with his solo career are much better than what he has now. Buz is now too fat to perform well.
@@henryprzepiorka8239 Don't say it's miles better, I think they're vastly different, vastly. There's also a very big difference between Morrissey's solo albums while the Smiths albums were very pretty similar to each other. Morrissey didn't really compose any of the music in the Smiths, he just made the lyrics and accompanied it with the best vocals I've heard in my life, so yeah, I wouldn't say the two are really comparable.
Morrissey this song and all the other tracks on Low in high school proves that you are the most relevant artist in the music industry. I have been a massive fan of you for many many years and I'm more of a fan now than I have ever been.

This is the very same excitement as waiting at the record store so long ago for each new 7" single of Viva Hate. This song, in particular, sounds so reminiscent of that time.
I simply can't understand why this album gets such negative reviews but previous one was praised. This is defintely not worse, it's better if anything.
It's called a media witch hunt because he has opinions and voices them and if the reviewer doesn't agree they trash the album no matter how good it is.
hmmm almost agreed with u but than there are I'm not a man, art hounds and earth is the loneliest planet those for me are in the levels we are talking about :D
the official track from the album of probably best songwriter about love gets only maybe 200K views in 2 years. I think this shows that the new generation does not understand or value love.
Greetings from Oz! Glad to see you're releasing your new material on TH-cam, even though I've paid for a digital copy. Don't let a bad experience in Brisbane stop you from playing here next time you're in Oz, Moz; I swear we've grown up a lot since the 90's and I spent thousands travelling to Sydney to see you at the opera house in 2015. You let a lot of us down in 1991, playing Brisbane, then skipping SYDNEY. Who can stay mad at Moz for long though? XO
from my first listen to this NEW song i like it. Very political but hey! Morrissey does politics very well as people know! musically it is excellent. I will be purchasing the Axe the monarchy lp 😁
This is a great album. I prefer it to the last one. I'm a great believer of each to their own, but to say he hasn't done any good albums in years is ignorence.
I remember so much hate on this song when it came out. People totally misinterpreted it imo as an attack on the military (though it is anti war), it feels just another character study type song about a thug who chose war as a way to do terrible things without repercussion and the governments glee in allowing them to do their bidding. It’s Literally in the opening refrain. Some people probably do join the army to handle a gun… not to say all do. It’s a great song that I hope will be properly reassessed some day.
'Funny how the war goes on without our John' - I think the laughter may be coming from the soldier. John (Lennon) is dead and war still goes on. That's my interpretation anyway.
Yes- it only goes to show what goes through (what passes for) the minds of guardian journalists.. I think there was laughter too at the end of 'suffer little children'.

You're the man Morrissey. I don't care what anyone says. You fucking rule.

Lincoln Fleming you say how I feel exactly brother
hallelujah!
Bang on the money !
Fucking A!! What a wonderful comment. X🤔🤔🤣🤣❤️❤️🍀🍀🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇮🇪🇮🇪💙♥️
"Funny how the war goes on without our John'" ♥️
I am the Number 45: It's the war is over 1945!
5:13 why wont he make music like this anymore? WHY? Can't he see that all we need is his voice, his emotion ... and a guitar. We dont need beat samples, programmed bass, hip hop textures, etc in an attempt to be "modern." Morrissey, come back to us. "The War Goes On," we need you.
Morrissey went full punk rock in this album with an Oscar Wilde wig. Simply amazing
Leave it to Morrissey to say the thing I have nowhere near the guts to say. I'm in awe of him.
I agree. Help the Hero’s? What hero’s..
Well said.
What a piece of art. A real artist
💯
fits perfectly to the current moment
Whomever wrote the last two minutes of this song, starting at 5:13 needs to write all of Moz's music in the future.
The shift into the outro is Morrissey at his ironic best. Beautiful melody too.
Yes. Very sad, thinking of how an elderly couple would be saying this to each other as their son was killed in a meaningless war to enrich the bloodthirsty trillionaires who run this world.
5:12 its beautiful voice again, reminds so much
of the old smiths
Miles better than the Smiths
I keep on listening to this part of the song again and again... I just can't stop...
That's a hard argument. I think the original musicians he started off with his solo career are much better than what he has now. Buz is now too fat to perform well.

A wretched outcast
With no point of view
What could I do?
Just military servants
I carry out the powerful vulgarian view
I scatter glue
Do as I say or I scatter you
Oh, no, no, no, no, no
You can't blame me
I'm just an innocent soldier
There would be no war if not for me
I'm just a sweet little soldier
No, no, no, no, no
You can't blame me
I'm just an innocent soldier
Give me an order
I'll blow up a border
Give me an order and I'll blow up your daughter
Call me brave, call me a peace-making hero
Call me anything except what I am
From a class without, I haven't a clue
What the war is about
I haven't got a clue
Have you?
Oh no, no, no
You can't blame me
I'm just an innocent soldier
There would be no war if not for me
I'm just a sweet little soldier
No, no, no, no, no
You can't blame me
After all, I'm just
Honor, mad, cannon fodder
Honor, mad, cannon fodder
I'm honor, mad, cannon fodder
I'm honor, mad, cannon fodder
I'm honor, mad, cannon fodder
I'm honor, mad, cannon fodder
I'm honor, mad, cannon fodder
Honor, mad, cannon fodder
Honor, mad, cannon fodder
Duty done by
The moment at hand
I am answerable
Only to Jesus
And with the grace of God
I will die in my own bed
If you wonder what's in my head
It's just the hatred for all human life
When I lose mine, my mother will say:
"He died doing the job he loved"
But I died with a bullet to the forehead
That wasn't the job I loved
That wasn't the job I loved
That wasn't the job I loved
Funny how the war goes on
Without our John
Without our John
It's funny how the war goes on
Without our John
Without our John
La la la la la la la...
Funny how the war goes on
Without our John
Without our John
It's funny how the war goes on
Without our John
Without our John
La la la la la la la...
i scatter glue? perhaps it's gloom?
and isn't it 'military SERVICE'?
No one does ominous and sinister as powerfully as Morrissey.
this song is so great. morrissey is the best, he'll always be.
I Bury the Living:
A wretched outcast with no point of view

On a mad cannon fodder
I'm on a mad cannon fodder

I'm on a mad cannon fodder

I'm on a mad cannon fodder
On a mad cannon fodder

That wasn't the job I loved
That wasn't the job I loved
That wasn't the job I loved

Bohemian Rhapsody-ish, no?
Honour mad cannon fodder , not on a 😂
An artist, a genius ❤️❤️❤️

Herr Kitehugel so so true mu freund
Thanks for sharing that memory!
The guitar does sound like Vini Reilly at points
This song is kind of powerful.
thank you Morrissey
I simply can't understand why this album gets such negative reviews but previous one was praised. This is defintely not worse, it's better if anything.
Rolling Stone put a 3.5/5 on it, not too shabby
Talk about damning with faint praise.
It's called a media witch hunt because he has opinions and voices them and if the reviewer doesn't agree they trash the album no matter how good it is.
Maybe it's not that good? Not everyone is out to get Morrissey.
obviously he target the mainstream media, i'm not surprise by then cryin' about this
This is the best thing you've written in the last decade.
Pickles Presents since you are the quarry*
And ringleader of the tormentors ;)
yes, quarry is so good, I listen to that more than any other still.
That doesn't sound like much of a compliment.
hmmm almost agreed with u but than there are I'm not a man, art hounds and earth is the loneliest planet those for me are in the levels we are talking about :D
Me and my cat (who happens to be called morrissey;)) love the new album so much:)
your cat actually thinks Morrissey is a racist.
Love the crickets at the start it sounds like Dave Haslam's birthday party
This whole album is pretty great from top to bottom.
As a morrissey fan, that’s not true
I agree, great from start to end. Most all Mozzer albums are....no one like him that's for sure. A true original.
Seen Morrissey in Glasgow at the weekend. He was absolutely amazing!
This is what Mo is like when he takes the gloves off.
OMG I can't even begin to express how powerful the music, and lyrics are...... Just wow......O.o
This track is beyond amazing
certainly his best album in the last few years.
I love his irony! XD "U cant blame me I'm just an innocent soldier" hahahahhaha "...call me anything except what I am" :))))
The best antiwar song ever created...
It's good but PJ Harvey has done incredible job on this subject.
Wow, concept, simply genius - art
honor, mad, cannon fodder
Another masterpiece!
Go on Mozza lad!!!!!!
Moz. If you're ever up for a conversation, I'll be here.
"It's just the Hatred for all human kind"
First time hearing , wow great lyrics again
So beautiful!
this is F*** intense .. what a great musician ...
Yes! Straight on point!
He means it! What's he says resonates truth and he'd be right. XXX
XX
XXXX
Thank you king Moz
Love every bits of this song!
Here with only 27 views feels like being at an official release party online.
Another amazing album as always ❤
Fair play, speaking to the moment. Bold stuff
Superb. Very moving. Genius.
Masterpiece
That bass 👌🏼🤟
I think is about John Lennon.
Love u Moz.
the official track from the album of probably best songwriter about love gets only maybe 200K views in 2 years. I think this shows that the new generation does not understand or value love.
I love it when Morrissey gets aggressif and weird !
Weird? Passionate! And telling the truth.
Greetings from Oz!
Glad to see you're releasing your new material on TH-cam, even though I've paid for a digital copy.
Don't let a bad experience in Brisbane stop you from playing here next time you're in Oz, Moz; I swear we've grown up a lot since the 90's and I spent thousands travelling to Sydney to see you at the opera house in 2015. You let a lot of us down in 1991, playing Brisbane, then skipping SYDNEY.
Who can stay mad at Moz for long though? XO
ohhh yess!!!
Good man, Mr. Morrissey... Loving your punk attitude. Always have.
❤️
Love it my Mozzz...
Took me a few listen's , but I really like this track , loving the album !
Brilliant ! Brilliant !!!!!
This is really brilliant - so creative
💎
This is heavy
PEACE MAKIN HERO
Living for THESE ❤️✨❤️
You are the best, the best.
This should be the anthem of the Russian army.
thx moz
PLEASE COME TO BRAZIL IN 2018 !!!

Hola, Morrissey, desde Pamplona, Navarra, Spain. Un álbum increíble, genial.
this one is fantastic!!!
Great
from my first listen to this NEW song i like it. Very political but hey! Morrissey does politics very well as people know! musically it is excellent. I will be purchasing the Axe the monarchy lp 😁
Best album since THE QUEEN IS DEAD (1986)
Best album since Viva Hate i think
Sencillamente hermosa
sweet boys
There is no such thing as a good guy politician. Always think for yourself ALWAYS! and please support all troops♡♡♡♡
Remember to thank the Taliban for their service. Fuck troops who aren't fighting for their own freedom
Interesting track...not his absolute best, but it ranks right up there...a fantastic anti-war song
This song is gloriously transgressive
I am answerable only to Jesus.
Love him😍😍
voy a llorar.
💜🌻
It's funny how the war goes on without our john
La la la la la la la...
This is a great album. I prefer it to the last one. I'm a great believer of each to their own, but to say he hasn't done any good albums in years is ignorence.
Fxxxing Great!! 😢😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
i like the picture...
masterpiece

Honesty is always the best policy: Mo? You need to dig out my poetry (it'll hurt [like Andrea del Verrochio], but at least you'll see the wurkings of a poet's heart... for real) Much Love,
©mullen
That title...
God job, Moz!
'Funny how the war goes on without our John' - I think the laughter may be coming from the soldier. John (Lennon) is dead and war still goes on. That's my interpretation anyway.
I.P. Knightly you know what? I️ think you’re absolutely correct!
well, smarter than your average Guardian reviewer at least
it could be interpreted many ways! For me this coda is Smiths kitchen sink realism-the war goes on w/o Johnny Marr is my interpretation
Yes- it only goes to show what goes through (what passes for) the minds of guardian journalists..
I think there was laughter too at the end of 'suffer little children'.
you may have your interpretation but the only connection between Marr and War, I see, is the eye rhyme.
I always knew Moz was a horror fan.
0:57 start
Cade os brasileiros?
Eu aqui!
Nakinha, que bom saber que uma jovem como vc curte Morrissey. Ele foi a referência pra toda uma geração nos anos 80.
