Morrissey - There is a Place in Hell for Me and My Friends

A song that's beauty lies in it's forlorn tragedy. Morrissey is the only person whos music relateably speaks to me.

I never understood why people ever argue about the meanings of songs. I don't go into an art museum and argue with passers by about the meaning of the piece that I'm looking at. Everyone is looking/hearing this masterpiece with 'their' ears .. a person can never accurately describe the perspective of another person. What's important is what this song means to each of us .. even though our opinions differ from one another. Stop arguing and just enjoy this already.

I think that 90% of people understand that the song is about tragic, collective regret that we all share at times. The other 10% insist that their narrow interpretation of the lyrics is the only one. Added bonus: I think these same people have inside info on Robert Frost's "Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening"! Stay tuned for them to reveal EXACTLY what promises he has to keep, as well as the precise location of the woods!

One of the best drinking songs ever. Definately one for the whole bar to sing along to. Hope I'm at that bar one day.

If it weren't for Morrissey, or the Smiths for that matter, I don't know if I would have made it throught the torture otherwise known as high school!

Beautiful torch song.

@carolinadecolima  That was a comment he made on one of his interviews in a Mexican channel . We Love Morrisey in Mexico and he loves mexicans as well.

[NakedBYdesign]

@heiff He did mention on one his concerts In Mexico about his support to the gay community and also congratulate them for their gay marriage recognition and then he sang There is a place in hell for me and my friends" coincidence ?? I know this because I was there. so most likely is about his homosexuality. I have no doubts.

[heiff]

@fokeet Exactly...people seem to presume an awful lot, which I don't quite understand. I can only guess that they haven't *really* read the lyrics carefully enough to understand that all these things they "know" are just their own opinions. Of course there's nothing wrong with having an opinion, but to state that your interpretation is the ONLY one is nonsense (and diminishes Morrissey's fine abilities as a writer)

[heiff]

@carolinadecolima You're guessing. What you think the song is about is YOUR OPINION ONLY. The song lyrics do not explicitly state these things, and Morrissey isn't on record anywhere discussing the exact meaning of this song, or how it relates to him, personally. For all we know it's a third person confession of a gangster.

[carolinadecolima]

@heiff That song is about his sexual preference since the bible states 'Homosexuals can't enter the gates of heaven" and as we all know Morrisey is gay and also his closest friends PETE BURNS being one of hem.
