yes, im listening because of Vini Reilly's guitar playing this is pure magic, his guitar style is without a doubt undeniably masterful. And of course the story/lyrics and melody is pure genius..i wish Reilly and Morrissey would record again.
winter w/pine trees out streched w/ snow and my beautiful I miss it so much ams christmas has never been the same since the loss of my family!!!!!!!!!!!!
I moved out of the house where I grew up about 8 years ago. Over this past summer, the basement was flooded and one of the basement walls collapsed. Then Hurricane Irene came through. The current owner is unemployed and probably hasn't paid her mortgage in a while. I have a feeling it will probably get condemned at some point. The inspectors probably don't know and don't care about love. :(
On another level, lyrically. To be able to capture an entire emotional landscape like this, just staggering. Such a fantastic understanding of expression: when to lay it on and when to fade away, exactly how much to say. Almost like he's channeling it, rather than inventing it.
I've come to this song today, because it feels like what I've come to know as a Maudlin Street day. A dreary day that is perfect in it's dreariness, where you feel so nostalgic that you want to cry, but the day's events are so boring that they are beautiful.
@tattoofthesun Thank you. If only I had a real life, instead of one where I sit at home and write about music. Well, I can think of worse things to do.
I dedecate this song for my brother gregory he live4this song well ,I dedicate this to him love your baby sister cyn....R.I.P love you see you in the end!!!!!!and one other thing only a few listen (pathetic).......instead of ga ga it should mean something!!!!!
I dedecate this song for my brother gregory he live4this song well ,I dedicate this to him love your baby sister cyn....R.I.P love you see you in the end!!!!!!
This song is a novel squeezed in a seven-minute symphony of melancholy, betrayal to yourself (memoirs and broken feelings) and mystery that transports you into an imaginary street that could be your own neighborhood. Definitely, like smithslover1 said... ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN!
This song is such a beautiful piece, but it hits with such a force you wouldn't expect. Gives me shivers, makes me want to cry, just feel everything. <3
It's reassuring to see how many people have identified this as a key track, even within the Morrissey canon, this one really stands out, when this chap goes deep, he goes deeper than the rest, this song really shows that, spread the message people
Why is this song so damn brilliant?! I could listen to this on top of every hour for eons. Definitely one of Mozzer's most moving narratives -- God bless that witty "Pope of Mope."
gregory n. I DEDECATE THIS YOU ,I FOUND YOU DEAD WHEN I WAS 13 AND MOM YOU AND SUEZANNE,ROBIN,HARRY,LISA ,SYILVIA I WILL BE W/YOU ALL ONE DAY PLEASE FORGIVE MY SADNESS...LIFE HAS NEVER BEEN THE SAME....AND IT NEVER WILL, UNTIL I GO IN TO THE TUNNEL OF LIFELESSNESS!!!!!! R.I.P..LOVE CYNTHIA....................................EXCEPT I WILL BE COMPLETELY ALONE BECAUSE YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE,MOM YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER GONE THROUGH WHAT YOU DID......NOW YOUR FREE..

@kqpm392 ME AS WELL HE IS SUCH A REAL AND STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!!! I AM 38 NOW I REMEMBER THE TIME I FIRST HEARD (MEAT IS MURDER) AND HOW IT IMPACTED ME IN THE MOST POWERFUL WAY....POET,I BECAME I LOVE HIM AND LOVE HIM ALWAYS CYNTHIA.....
@thecrazybitch371 thanks for the comment, its great to hear of others who feel the same way. Morrissey has taught me to value wonderful things about humanity. he's a cut above pretty much everything really.
@missineichen I couldn't agree more. my favourite track off my favourite morrissey album. "I've been stabbed in the back, so many, many times, I don't have any skin but that's just the way its goes." profoundly moving.
@ishlet78 i hope your good now bro. I had the same thing happen to me i was ruining my life had some life changing moments dont ever want to lose it like i did. This song is awesome live life to the fullest and love and be happy bro.
this was intentionally the last song i listened in my room before leaving for college. dunno why i purposefully make myself so miserable, but i felt like i had to do it.
@moznico Well yes I was about 14 when I tought "this genius must have written this song for me"and now nearly 20years later his music still is the medcine and the drug in one I need every day.
@Luke77rat That is good to hear. I recently started to listen to Morrissey again after a 6 year absence (due to my addictions)... Amazingly I was still able to hold onto my cd's, vinyls, and anything that related to Moz...
Morrisey displays a grasp of the language on a par with the literary greats, Recognition should come as quickly and as expectedly for him as it does for Shakespeare. A true poet
That's Vini Reilly from the Durutti Column on guitar. Sadly Morrisey did not give him enough credit for this album, which is, in my opinion, unjustifiable.
I own the original issue of this LP and i also have a large VIVA HATE tattoo on my belly, it's my absolute favorite record of Morrissey, and this is my fav song. MORRISSEY I LOVE YOU. WE ALL DO, I GUESS
Im 24 now, i will love you till my oncoming death....
There's something about this album Viva Hate, the atmosphere of it and the feelings it evokes are incredible. It's the best thing he ever did in my view.
hola leopoldo no te conosco pero si esta cancion esta "CHINGONA!" I HAVE NOT HEARD THIS SONG SINCE THE '90S AND I CANT STOP TAKING DEEP BREATHS! THIS IS A POETIC SONG HIDDEN IN ITS CONTEXT. FROM SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS I SAY THANKS FOR HAVING GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC!
