Morrissey - I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris

[ballyfab]

thats one hell of a reckless lisp he's got goin on there....absolutely reckless

[DeLoused777]

after the video there's a good reason to go vegan :)

[AmyJohnson08]

I'll have his love!

[theman1789]

God This Is Brilliant

[dontneverstop]

I love this !!

[craigshrimpton1]

i miss the smiths

[RIGGlovesnigg]

Me too :(

[Edhallick]

All the people complaining about God looking old; Consider with every loss there is always a gain, that`s just the way of nature, and the gain here is Gods songs get better and better the more he ages. That song "All you need is me" I think is probably one of the best songs God has ever done, at least in the top three.

[IAMOHSOGREAT]

you are an idiot for exchanging morrissey with god. what's your problem do you have too much time or do you actually think you're in any way witty?

[RainJetSprinklers]

Well besides all these fake commercials implanted in this video for some reason, 5 stars.

[DocWhat10]

he looks a bit pale here...needs some Stout or a Guiness...

[GuanoIRR]

is that Jay Leno?

[REIworker]

I want him to look like he did in 1987 but hell I want to look like I did in 1987. At least his face isn't riddled with Botox like the Aerosmith dudes.

[inga6777]

Morrissey never dies..as rock never dies.

inside he is young.....but I am disturbed about his ...health.

Get well soon, dear Morrissey.

[blackl1steddrums]

bad makeup/lighting

[badsport2008]

Not surprised hes looking older, but shocked at how ill he looks. No wonder the UK tour has been such a trial for him. Get Well soon !!

[Zealant]

Yes, he is "old". Get the fuck over it, he already has.

[nurulfatimah84]

never get bored with this song..yeaaaaaaaaah

[daunce35]

God I love this song so much and Morrissey is probably the sexiest he's ever been.

[OrangeIndieBlossom]

Time pass for all, he is so old =( but is THE male singer and musician of history.

=)

[Edhallick]

It doesn`t matter how old someone is, all that matters is what they do not what they have. Whether you have youth, age, riches, poor, all that is meaningless. All that matters is being alive and what you do. Look at Paul McCartney, the dude is constantly praised selling out shows, but he gets me sick. The freaking dude has done nothing but play songs he wrote 90 years ago while writin shit, he`s like some lame Beatles tribute band today, so he comes across to me as pathetic.

[emthepirate1]

I'm not sure how being "old" is an issue.What an ignorant tit.

[anchorlove06]

I remember the first time I viewed this video.. I thought it was bizarre to see him singing in his same, youthful voice, when he's changed in appearance a bit.. i.e. older.

[cameronny1]

I'M SEEING HIM AT ALLY PAL TONIGHT

yeahhhhhhhhhhh

[DeLa150]

why has he got a MASSIVE lisp?

[NoNameNo4]

@DeLa150 It's called an underbite.

[stevecitano]

He hath a lithsp? I didn't notith

[janosfischer]

how old is he hell fuck

[RingoCasey]

I really enjoy his new stuff along with old, its changed so much but still has the same heartfelt lyrics at the core, love for Moz!

[hoganweaponx]

fucking amazing.

[deadboys07]

this song is lovely, however this Album was very very poor, that solid very unique style he had along with his timeless writing partner Alain whyte, not mention Gary, & spencer that made him a legend is gone and along with that morrisey should quit while he's ahead, having been a fan for almost 20 years I see white jump suits and las vegas in his future, you've had a great run, now's the time to be a spectator

[eddietwang]

yeah..great song.

[KatastrophicKez]

♥

[HelenDiazOfficial]

I want your love haha

[lilbobmars]

Great song...good video...Morrissey is a legend. No-one is better than him in pop music. Everyone else either can't sing, the songs themselves are poor or they're just too fake. No-one in pop music is real anymore. Anyways...this was the first Morrissey song I ever heard.

[jhvscs]

exagerration much?

[Rmg12]

really? its pretty new, what about the smiths

[clevo891]

the ultimate decadent; lately. if he offends you... good ;)

[lvvovich]

GOD!

[clevo891]

u mean like light y. ?)

[G0YAP]

GREAT!

[smantha88]

the lighting doesnt do him justice

[fsyeah]

Morrissey... will you ever stop making GREAT music??

[RuIord]

Great song. Although the fat boy in the end scared me^^ Curious.

[malpas46]

He looks anaemic... But amazing song all the same!!! :)

[paido24]

Anyone noticed that this is in the wrong key and is at a faster tempo than the one on the album?

[staySIC64]

I did now that you mentioned it. How odd.

[tz112]

Big Mouth STrikes Again !!!

[demoniov]

I love Morrissey's music, but I HATE his videoclips... they're so unimaginative, and surely don't match the feeling of the songs. I wish they were more epic, graphic, instead of him simply playing the song eith the band.

[brynaboy]

with respect, if you like good astectics (sp?) and phoney realism then listen to the back catalogue of the kings of leon, and compare it to their newest 'sell-out' album which has much more gloss, but simply isn't them. yeah, my sex is on fire, yeah right.

[demoniov]

I get your point. But if you remember some of The Smith's videos, at least they're not as plane as Morrisey's last ones. I wasn't asking for melodramatic footage of Paris or anything like that, but just something more affirmative, more remarkable... Morrisey's music deserves it, I guess.

[danikabbani]

Sorry - Meant to give you a thumbs up but clicked on the thumbs down. Yes, Morrissey videos are usually rubbish.

[AlTheRelic]

This is my favorite song he ever did, Morrissey you are like wine you only get better with the passing years.

[wicksyplym]

he is a legend, a legend in his own lifetime.....that is a very rare thing....

[hevans94]

kind of ironic after showing a morrisey video its shows someone near death stuffing their face with meat LOL X

[hevans94]

morrisey your a god! X

[carrieanne1967]

Steven Patrick Morrissey is amazing and so are the cute dogs - Spectacular !!!

[loombaron]

lyrics are good but the music is a little dull. Johnny Marr would have made amazing guitar arrangements to this song.

[ckyable]

cant wait to see him at swindon in october,travelling from glasgow couldnt get tickets there!

[svenstrange]

Great song....xxx

[inyofacepriklips]

And who the fuck r u? besides an obsessed tosser.....

[hevans94]

i love this song, morrisey foreverr(L) X

[d8688s]

Hes using Paris the city of love as a metaphor for the absence of love in his life.  not Paris Hilton.....

[kristfa]

Is the dog there as a sarcastic reference to Paris Hilton?

I know the Song isn't at all related to her and what you said is correct I just think it's funny that the dog is running around

[MrStevePriest]

no you're wrong, proof?

you can't get your arms around a city, but you could get them around Ms Hilton.

[MrStevePriest]

The last person who I expected Moz to write a song about is Paris Hilton!!!!! She stands for everything Moz hates surely!!

Sorry but Morrissey has gone down in my opinion!! Shame.

[EmmyNeander]

I'm not sure but could it be he's talking about Paris, the capital of France..?

[cheshirecat80]

Aaaaaarrghhh!!! Wish you'd cut it at the end! Love the song and video anyway x

[andykndy07]

MORRISSEEEEEEEY♥

[RubyTwilite]

I saw him in march 09 live, I was so close I could see the color of his eyes and he looks waaaayyy better than in this video. The lighting was NOT kind to him here. Hang the director! Hang the director! Hang the director!

[EmmyNeander]

Haha, true. He looks pretty unhealthy there. Hang the director! :)

[EllyMcCormack]

Fat man was the best part. Only Stone and calories - except his love.

[foppa123]

who is the fat kid?

[EllyMcCormack]

Watch till the very end. 3:10

[thaddeuslowe]

Is that fat kid Paris?

[TomStrong08]

Why's a guy jumping over the drum set?

[jaroussky1]

i am throwing my arms around Morrissey

[arqpita]

what happens with his teeths? he is lipsync? sorry, but i love him anyway.

[bassmanbally]

haha i like the way its a morrissey video about his loss of love and such, which is then followed by an advert bout a fat child and his fat mum. how poetic! haha

[rowancboi17]

only stone and steel accept my love

know how u feel mate

[jgcrow]

me also though happy yeah no shit lol

[jason0376]

I love this song! I have a similar one I just finished called "Because of You" as one of my vids. check it out!

[distinctlyminty]

I've heard this song played in Asda.

[Idontthinkitsallowed]

Is Morrissey wearing make-up?

[mypethuman]

Dunno, but it makes him no less of a man, as shown in this video.

[m0zc0re]

It wouldn't be the third time he wore a little eyeshadow...

[TomStrong08]

Everybody on TV wears make up! =)

[pur4forlyphe]

nothing with out johnny marr

[bitchenhitchen]

is it legal to say the ting tings and the kooks in the same sentance as morrissey?

[bmxandscientology]

it should be

[UnderTheBridge96]

Played Constantly In Groccery Stores everywhere!!!!

[Paratrooper177]

What groceries are these? The ones I go to only play celine dion garbage.

[TheLast0000]

I just heard it today in Food Lion.  I thought I was hallucinating!!

[mollymmorrissey]

"Heaven Knows We're Missing YOU Now" best git yourself to L.A. MORRISSEY...LOVE YA MOLLY MAE

[andyveccyv6]

as manc as man united,the mancunian way,and boddingtons bitter all in one

[Kevin5262]

i think they way he looks has to do with the way the video was shot to be honest.

[tamelanj]

people keep commenting on morrisey's appearance. "he's old, he's fat, he looks like shit," etc. i think he looks damn good for 50. damn good.

you know who i think has aged? brad pitt. i saw his photo on a magazine cover and though,"holy shit. he got old!" lindsay lohan; that's another one. i don't even want to think about what she'll look like at 50.

[thirstymuse1]

I live in Paris so I'm obviously chuffed by this song. I've rather despaired of Moz since the sublime Vauxhaull and I album but this restores my faith. Top stuff Stephen.

[distinctlyminty]

Moz spells his name 'Steven'

[JYM40FR]

killer flute solo..:)..still love you ol bastard

[petykeslim]

forever britpop

[214horatio]

so witty he sings that he has given up on the idea of love, but yet he is embracing the most romantic city in the world for comfort

[SoapClawtooth]

Excellent observation :) His stuff has always been like that. Remember the song about Sodomy in Rome on his last album? Thing is you don't KNOW its about sodomy in Rome until you're told, then its blindingly obvious.

[insomniacsuicide]

what r u talking about? please, i wanna know

[StElmosGhost]

That's merely opinion. How do you know its the most romantic city in the world? You don't it's not possible to prove.

[EmmyNeander]

Wonnnnderful song!

[ArreDj]

It makes me cry..

Fabulous...!

[Poll4Life]

I simply love this man!

[0zooropa0]

I'm throwing my arms around Morrissey !

[insomniacsuicide]

sorry baby, but morrissey is mine...lol and i dont eat meat but i eat people who put in my way...... :)

[ilovegabeolivarria]

its probably hard to sing with dentures....cut him some slack about the lisp.

[funtimeadventures]

sup michelle

[refforendum]

moz looks great for his age, I love this song.

[patrickj25]

such a good song i could listen to it all day, not morrissey's usual sound but his band compliments his style very well

[Ikanku101]

Jeez... why does everyone get so worked up about a bleedin' lisp?!

It doesn't matter - what matters is that he's got a great voice, and I think it's brill that he's still going despite getting older.

[TAx2XD]

what do u mean bleeding lips?! whats up with his lips? o.O

[Ikanku101]

I said "LISP"

and "bleeding" is another word for "bloody", as in the swear word. You know, like "Oh, bloody hell".

[TAx2XD]

oh, right... oops lol

[41htdex]

Morrisseys got the coolest band i wish i could here more of boz's guitar sometimes

[Ceolteor]

He only has a very slight and subtle lisp. Thilly.

Moz does look a lot older here... not that it at all matters, I'm with him on that one. But it just feels a bit sad? I think there's a lot of pale make up on him. Otherwise he's doing pretty well for 50, lookswise and musicwise. This song is brilliant

[garagerockermadrid]

I was shocked when i saw this video, because only a year or so ago he looked like a pretty hot mature man, but now he looks somehow old and tired... i am only referring to his physical appearance, though.

[MisterBlue24]

It has everything to do with getting older because he's old. Are his size double D's awesome too???

[spidermode]

Moz has always had a lisp, you can hear it even in The Smith's tunes - so it has nothing to do with getting older, or anything else, it's just how he sings. (and it's awesome)

[MisterBlue24]

If you all want to know why he's got a lisp then I'll tell you. It's called getting old. Just like the body changes with age, so does speech patterns (ie: enunciation and/or articulation). It's a fact! If you look at Siouxsie Sioux and the way she sang live in the 80's and compare that to now, she fights to get the words out at times. Even Kate Bush on her last album tended to slur words at times. People get old, nothing ever stays the same forever!

[danfish88]

i totally agree, it seems like only with marr was he at his best. i just cant find any of his solo work half as poignant, lyrical and unique as his early work. At the same time i cant see the point in half the people who come on here just to slate his appearance, yeh he's got older, get over it! but nah, the real issue is how he's let his music go, not his waistline.

[danfish88]

you're so right, and why the fuck has he got a lisp now too????

[MisterBlue24]

Yeah, well... when something needs to be said, I'll say it. And I don't honestly care who likes it because the truth is going to hurt.

Oh the lisp... isn't it obvious??? He's so desperate to draw in the young boys since his youth is gone that he'll stoop to any means necessary. The Pied Piper + Morrissey's lisp = the same thing. Different scenarios, same purpose.

[insomniacsuicide]

does anyone know what´s up with moz? i heard he´s ill... is that true? please, tell me something!!!!!!!!!!1 thanku

[riversrushing]

has anyone else noticed morrisey has a really bad lisp these days? he didnt in the days of the smiths, anyone got any info on this???

[FrysBoyRemus]

I know! I noticed that too! But I only really realised it on this song. Does he lisp on others? I missed that.

[sweetttina666]

:) "{feedback} the Ting Tings and the Kooks on Transmission from 5-12.......Morissey is throwing his arms around Paris,- and why not." :)

Wow, Morissey's music is so euphorically powerful, it even blissfully colors the quote proceeding the video!

[humanhobbie]

Why would you waste your time writing what you wrote? You just wasted a part of your life. YOU just WASTED some of YOUR only life. So so sad. So so pathetic you are.

[MiffiMuffin]

That's not the way I meant it all but anyway I do not care what you think at all. You must be very borde and lonely and have a lack of attention if you feel that it is necessary to write such bullshit. Poor people who got no real life...

[JYM40FR]

killer flute solo:)

still love you old rocker

[muriloguimaraes]

for me, the dogs are himself :)

fofos!

love him, fabulous! probably

[crowdoubt]

I love his personality...there's no other like Morrissey.

[manicmacintosh]

This seems like a comedy sketch. throwing my arms around parish!

[cdcruce]

I think the tempo is a little quicker on this video than on the album. I like it this way. Doesn't drag as much.

[MiffiMuffin]

Great man, great song. But what's up with those dogs?

[patrickj25]

they're morrissey's dogs

[MiffiMuffin]

Oh really? I did not know he had dogs. It's cool then.

[jn33403]

theyr not

[patrickj25]

i would imagine they are

[patrickj25]

i just realised morriseys drummer is the drummer who replaced jimmy chamberlin during the smashing pumpkins tour in 95 after he ODed and the keyboard player john melvoin died

[justinjoyit13]

Huge Smiths fan, Big Mozza fan.. but all slipping into parody.. no one is famous forever, no one is talented forever.. not  Wilde, Thomas,Keats,Yeats,Joyce.. not even Einstein.

[patrickj25]

i wonder how amazed those younger band mates must be to playing with him

[sweetttina666]

Do you know how much I love this song!?...Well, do you?

[sweetfranx]

yes, now. ;-) same here, btw. ;-)

[mikesurfer310]

Los Angeles and Redondo Beach will always love you, Moz. Don't know if it's true and am afraid to ever find out but I thought, if not for a minute, you didn't hate Southern California. That's part of what keeps me here.

[d1sintegration]

he's still got it

[Viktortheviktor]

why not manchester?

[ilturconapoletano]

Wonderful Morrissey

[sanchezlira12345]

morrissey will always b da SH%$, genius of music.

[myblackrabbit]

i'll accept your love you sexy bastard even though you're old now

[Mey405]

I relly love this song, but i hate those videoclips that just show him sing (like "irish blood..", "the last of the famous..", "i have forgiven jesus.." etc.).

what about more interesting videoclip, something like the clip of "suedehead" for example?

[maxhieliger]

Oh, that Moz......we ♥ you...

[ajacpmcm123]

Toulouse Lautrec caught something of the essence of Paris, Auguste Rodin embodied much of the Parisien spirit BUT it took a sensitive Mancunian soul to encapsulate the heart of the artistic mecca of France !

[ricco185]

and his solo work stands up too... We love him too

[ricco185]

A sad day for the music industry when what you look like is more important than the music created. Like slagging off the cure because of how robert smith looks.

The smiths the MOST important band in british music bar none, and morrisseys lyrics are genius, and Marrs guitar....music at its finest

[praisethedog]

the einstein of music

[AnniCox]

how I love him!!!!

[pineapplehead2]

Wanted to listen to a Morrissey song ! Didnt expect to see that fat boy after

[Belindraahgh]

:-))) :-))) Kind of a shock isn't it ?

But funny enough to hear this mother saying: "I'm addicted to my son" right after hearing Morrissey singing :"Nobody wants my love" !!!

[333snottbox333]

Who's 'Smiling Face' Would he be refering to?, Mr. Marr Pharhaps?.....

[wasagoodkid]

no i dont think it is, its more of an abstract person that doesnt really exist and thats the problem that the songs about

[mignonhenne]

20 years of genius...one song is equal to everything blur, oasis and stone roses combined.

[jacg1484]

El autentico maestro

[iggysrusforceten]

He looks much better in person...

[racoonking]

Morrissey... I love his music... but he did not age well.

[Buzzjugs]

What 25 years can do to a face.

[JYM40FR]

pair that with booze and dope

[iluvmorrissey]

Good song.. i dont love it, but im certain it will grow on me

[stoz99]
