I always wanted to walk down the aisle at my wedding while this song played...

[macuys]

Just brilliant!

I'm a sucker for debaters.

@JAngeles13 that was... unexpected.

Respond to this video... The original statement was that Morrissey wasn't a composer. You know he contributed to the melodies on their songs. We both can agree that the voice is an instrument and since we're not talking about notes on paper, any melody a singer comes up with on top of guitar chords/piano chords would be a composition. We're taking this a little too far. We both love The Smiths so I guess who cares......if you were in my neck of the woods, I'd date you.

@JAngeles13 And my initial point was that Morrissey didn't write the music to this song. Nor any other Smiths song. So I'm checking out of this argument because we'll never agree.

[anchorlove06]

@JAngeles13 Please, we're not talking about actually writing down notations on a staff. We're talking about ability to write songs. Morrissey doesn't write the music. Marr does. It's plainly written in any Smiths jacket that "Words by Morrissey, Music by Johnny Marr."

This would also definitely explain why Morrissey's solo stuff all sounds different from The Smiths. BECAUSE HE HAD A DIFFERENT COMPOSER.

You didn't answer my question, so I assume you have no idea what you're talking about.

[JAngeles13]

Can you give me examples of Johnny Marr?. Neither one has a formal music education, so I doubt that they have the skills to technically write a song. The Beatles didn't have formal education as well and look at all of the songs they "wrote." I write music on paper, but I also consider somebody singing a melody or recording through software, writing music. For the sake of this argument, I have seen biographical books on The Smiths that showed lyrics and musical notation written by Morrissey.
