Morrissey / Sandie Shaw - ...Help Cause Against Loneliness

[SinnMaschine]

Just raping the repeat button, magnificent song!!

[lekonoleken]

Best version of the three versions

[xgreenymeex]

I really love this song, it's not on itunes though, whereas can i get it from?

[xgreenymeex]

Looove this song. Moz you are the best !

[toweronepower]

i dont mind when you come round, it is the day-time when might be in bed.

[khasperg]

i am happy now

[Xiansiempre]

"i'm so veryyy young!

"i am so really really youuunnng"

[rabbitisrich]

It sounds like Karma Cameleon!! ( a bit ).

[ikey76]

this was supposed to be on viva hate. but was ditched becuase it  becuase it was deemed not a good fit on the albulm

[owenarcher]

WoW

[Reint25]

Wow, this sounds fantastic. I think thoug, if this was released on Viva Hate it would sound very much like I Don't Mind If You Forget Me.

[Harno3]

Yess...very nice!

[em0108]

Wasn't this released as a single by Sandie Shaw? I'm sure I remember owning a copy!

[181088]

correct, it was reeased as a single from her '88 album, 'hello angel'

[HangTheDJ16]

How could Morrissey not have released this?!

[KEVXEDGE]

@HangTheDJ16

nooooooo idea.. It's an AMAZING song and the lyrics as well. This version is also really cool. Sandie shaw... my dear lord she was/is beautiful.

[oldramon1]

i actually have the sandie shaw 12" for this song (as released by her alone) and i think its quite good, sorta has a northern soul vibe ..the copyright is 1988

[Xiansiempre]

both versions are beautiful

[Jessuss1991]

This is a The Smiths demo?

[dizzywhore1804]

From passionsjustlikemine

"This song has yet to appear on a Morrissey album. It was written during the sessions for "Viva Hate" but Morrissey never released his version. However Sandie Shaw did release a version as a single and on her "Hello Angel" album."

[rael1999]

Hay Nice post dizzy I've never heard this song befor. It's got that bouncy melody he's used quite a bit since going solo....He's done some great stuff since going solo but the diversity he had with Marr isn't there as much !

[dizzywhore1804]

Apologies to stormeroffer2, I deleted your post by accident (can YouTube not provide an 'are you sure' button?)

But yes it's a real shame that Morrissey has never officially allowed this song to surface. One of his finest moments is left in obscurity.

[Moz1916]

Yes, this would have been a fantastic single! Why was it never released?!

Damn, it's fucking class!

[lidow123]

ill just keep on letting you make conjectures and overexagerate everything i say. i just know in the end, your wrong:-)

[lidow123]

for your information i wasnt banging on about anything i was just stating my opinion. and also i believe there is no official version of this song because it was suppose to be released on viva hate but it never did, it was never was a rough sketch of a song not yet mastered, hence why i use the word demo version. so stop banging on about how much you supposedly know and stop being a dick. oh and this song and the solo morrissey one arent exactly the same. listen closely

[anotaai]

LonEliness...

[dizzywhore1804]

Damn, and I'm usually quite careful with online spelling.

In penance I will not correct anyone else for three weeks.

[PumPumBandit]

sounds christmassy lol

[lidow123]

the demo version of this song is better than any other version of this song.

[mozjunkie]

Sandie Shaw is just excruciating! Shame on Morrissey for collaborating with her!

[narcissa912]

ahem... Sandie is Morrissey´s idol. Did you know that?

[jujuvoodoo]

i love the moz solo version without sandiein the baccking vocals none the less i love this rarity

[valegreen]

fantastic!! a hidden gem from sir moz

[mozroks]

this was last september when he was performing at the hollywood palladium check morrissey-solo for his setlists for the nights if i remember he played it a couple of nights and i just want this track bc its such a nice track

[mozroks]

could you email me this track please he's been playing this when i saw in hollywood last fall

[dizzywhore1804]

Really?! I've never heard of him performing this...ever.

What dates exactly?

[amarmolejo27]

I saw him in all of last year in the Southern California at every venue and I know that he did not perform this song. It would have caught my attention.

[Griff1319]

True I never heard him ever sing this song. Ahh to have been to all of Morrissey concerts since day one and to hve seen The Smiths 4 times :o)

[dizzywhore1804]

I have - through my stupidity - deleted someone's comment. They asked when it was recorded, from what I have been able to find out it's from around the Viva Hate period so 1988ish...

[cartyj]

You are right it does work well as a duet. A great Moz tongue in cheek type of song.

[cartyj]

Thanks for posting this. I've only ever heard the Sandie Shaw solo version. This is great.

[dizzywhore1804]

Works much better as a duet I think.

I also think this is one of Morrissey's funniest songs.

[dizzywhore1804]

This should've been Morrissey's EuroVision entry :-p
