Morrissey - 13 I Keep Mine Hidden (BBC Radio 2)

[ar4216]

Morrissey/Marr/Rourke/Joyce

Make it happen Morrissey!

[RainJetSprinklers]

Oh come on Morrissey, you ain't kidding anyone. Your no longer a 20 digit combination to unlock, more like a 51 digit combination to unlock!

[TorgeistLLN]

This song needs the whistling in it. Hearing it again is nice, but man, does it remind me how great Johnny Marr is.

[shapolfab]

the band is awful, I wish he would just change the while set of musicians!! They sound like pub rock band!

[robotrogelio]

At 0:58 seconds, listen to this genius of a man.

"Yellow and green, a stumbling block. I'm a twenty-digit combination to unlock with a past where to be 'touched' meant to be 'mental.'"

[robotrogelio]

Not only is this a Smiths song, it's the last song the Smith's ever recorded together and a great example of the Marr/Morrissey split. The simple sing-song melody drove Marr crazy, where Moz liked that he was able to litter the chorus with weird curious references to his shoes! Truly a great, if not for it the tune itself, but rather for it's place in history. The last ever Smith's song, resurrected at last.

[biorhythmicc]

what a dull crowd. good god. i remember seeing him a few days ago; pure and beautiful chaos when he played this and 'ask'.

[tmoore2010]

its not one of his most rockin songs. more like a drunk singalong

[HangTheDJ16]

@tmoore2010 Ha ha agreed.. But then again that's what makes it a good song!

[willpreeview]

They have to sit down and not make any noise because it was a live broadcast on radio 2. I was there, free tickets and we were specifically told not to clap or anything.

[Mozgal1]

this is a smiths song...just love it

[infancysguard]

Special plea to Morrissey: PLEASE start playing "Unlovable."

[JoeStunner]

I've always loved this song - a very underrated and witty hidden gem, and the last thing Morrissey and Marr ever wrote together. Oh, the wonderful memories...

[mbeckpopo1974]

it was not the last thing they wrote together it was the b side to sweet and tender hooligan but its like so smiths in the 80's

[JoeStunner]

No, it WAS the last they wrote together.  It originally appeared on the 12" version of Girlfriend in a Coma as the extra track, and was recorded during the final, disastrous session at Grant Showbiz's studio, along with Work is a Four Letter Word.

[bijeto]

Me too! I was thrilled as hell when he performed it 4-8-09. He also sang "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others".

[smilepogo2]

Glad to hear any Smiths song in his set, but I find it odd that he would choose this latter day b-side when there are so many other well known, cleverer, or poignant songs to choose from The Smiths' back catalogue. I guess it's still better than "Work is a Four Letter Word."

[cruisin4busen]

I'm actually ecstatic that he would dust off such a chestnut as this- he also played it at the Wellmont in NJ last Monday....(Work Is A Four Letter Word woulda even better, but highly unlikely...) I take it that you're not a big fan of either song- each to his own...Since he's been trucking out Smiths staples live for the last ten years (like How Soon Is Now- which many of us don't really need to hear again) and his new albums are pretty patchy, its cool to see him throw out a few rarities...

[33thirdweb]

Oh this rules!

[aut0daFe]

Woooooow! What a surprise...!

[poorringo]

quite odd Morrissey-solo did a poll of what Moz song you want him to sing live. The majority of votes was in favor of this song, then suddenly he plays it??

[poorringo]

not Moz - Smiths I mean

[infancysguard]

I just went back to look at that poll, and it only had 147 of the 5400 votes-- very low down on the poll. So I'm guessing no. Still happy to see and hear him sing it.

[Morrisseythe23rd]

Sometimes life provides reasons to live and extreme joy. This is one of them. Thank you!

[rherrick123]

I can't believe he played this. Amazing.

[thomas2909]

know and love this song for 2 days, and now he even plays it live. looking forward to his concert in bremen. wooohoo!

[paulsmartialarts]

He's playing I KEEP MINE HIDDEN!
