This is the song i've been trying to write all along but has constantly eluded me, Morrissey beat me to the punch and did better than i could have ever dreamed.
i love the lyrics Wish I had the charm to attract the one I love But you see, I've got no charm Mmm... Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold Oh, this is very clear to you And you can tell I have never really loved You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day And all of my life no-one gave me anything No-one has ever given me anything My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye You must be such a fool To pass me by
@rpt460 Good question. Either Morrissey liked the imagery of the footage, or it's maybe a reference to a family life (portrayed in the images)......which Morrissey never had (in a conventional fashion). So maybe the video is related to the song's lyrics about longing, and never having anyone who he could create that conventional family life with? Just an optional thought on what the video is about anyway....
When I say I "feel the same", I mean that his words are the closest to my heart, to my mind. That's why I feel like he understands me, although I never knew him. It's just like he was telling me about myself.
Isn't there another, better version of this video with more of the vintage looking footage and less of the closeups? It used to be on YouTube, I thought, but I can't find it. : (
What a beautiful video. Love Mozz :) but I can't help getting a little annoyed by all those morrissey fans who writes about how they are just like him and feel the same things. Noone does.. well.. you'll probably never know. All I'm trying to say is that there is only one Morrissey and there will allways be one of him :)
Sad to think I used to listen to this when it first came out and thought, 'Still, things have to get better.' Now, all these years later, I'm still listening to it. But I know now things will just keep getting worse. The pain is only aided by people like Morrissey who articulate agony and hopelessness so beautifully. Nick Cave used to be like that, but he's sold out. Moz hasn't even tried to sell out in 25 years. Yes, we're all in the same boat (excuse the pun!), to a greater or lesser degree.
I have none!! im 20, gay, good lookin, loads of money, funny, and have no morrissey fans as friends there for; have no REAL friends!! my faimly and friend HATE morrissey im just "too much in love" with the man!! i think that morrissey solo is far better than than smiths!! althogh the smiths r my fav band ever, morrissey solo means more to me! xx
so deep, so real........i feel incredibly identified with the lyrics of this song in this part of my life.... i think that we all have felt like this song says
@synthexes Me to, as I like many people have been down this route many times before. It is one of the most painful experiences to fall in love with some one who does not feel the same way about you!
So beutiful, just like him..cannot get enough of this man, I love him with all my heart, not to mention the fact that this song helped me when I was going through a terible time in my life..
i like the mili-second of "we hate it when our friends become successful" hah. it reminds me of how very many times ive watched the dvd...this song is so beautiful. thank you morrissey, for everything.<3
So incredibly sad and beautiful! How it speaks my words for me: "My love is as sharp as a needle in your eye/You must be such a fool...to pass me by."
"And you can tell I have never really loved
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day"
Once again the man is telling my life in one of his songs...
His songs really make me feel better 'cause I know I'm not alone...
