The Smiths - Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me
For a smiths song I would think I know it's over
"Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed
Oh well. Enough said.
I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go
Oh ..."
"If you're so funny Then why are you on your own tonight ?
And if you're so clever Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very entertaining Then why are you on your own tonight ?
If you're so very good-looking Why do you sleep alone tonight ?
I know ... 'Cause tonight is just like every other night That's why you're on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms While they're in each other's arms..."
I had a roommate who used to play this, and I always thought it was so sad.
At the same time I used to play an arcade game called Phoenix. When you got to a certain level it would play this.
A friend of mine put me onto this, he said he almost couldn't handle the sadness the first time he heard it and I thought he was exaggerating but I had the same reaction.
Anything by The Carpenters. No way was she feeling on top of the world, evar.
To be honest, doe, life is like, well short enough without dropping sad tunes L, R & C. Muhfug gets home to his trailerpark home from a hard day's work (:cough:), man wants chillaxation, not to reflect on his own perceived ineptitudes or what-personal-demons-have-you. The wife will do that for me just fine.
I used to put Japan's "Ghosts" on the local pub jukebox just to get a rise out of J*mmy Price. He used to ask the landlord to switch it off as it was "Music to slit your wrists by." (I think the chords are nice, it takes more than lyrics dropped by a man wearing make-up to harsh my mellow of several Guinesses and a Baileys chaser)

I was a big fan of the band at the time but with the benefit of retrospect it feels to me that Morrissey tried a bit too hard at being miserable whilst someone like Curtis was genuinely disturbed.

Morrissey always has been and always will be a whiny, maudlin, navel-gazing asshole trying way too hard to come off as deep and tragic. Dude gets the bozack.
From the Soul Power doc - totally caught me off-guard. Was happily watching the insanity of putting together the Zaire 74 concert and then this came and punched me in the stomach. I was bawling in my seat.

Agreed. The live version at Carnegie Hall is hard to beat.

That movie changed the way I thought of Bill Withers singing.

Personally I don't thing Moz was ever "trying". He's a miserable sod. I was just meaning of picking sad Smiths songs, that's the one that comes to my mind.
And I will always ride for Smiths. I can't handle Moz on his own. But with Marr... Yes!

LEE HAZLEWOOD FOR ONE MOMENT
Your probably thinking, anything by those two has got to be joyful. I agree it is kind of joyful in a weird how-ya-sat-it kinda way.
This woman was my first love!
Thats what I was thinking as well.
