Daily Music Dose – Morrissey
Spawned from the legendary band The Smiths, singer/songwriter Morrissey truly outshines many of his peers with his witty and thought provoking lyricism. Known for his uncompromising truth and honesty, his unique outlook on love and life has won over fans of all ages.
Morrissey’s lyrics have been described as bleak portraits of loneliness, hung on a wall of sadness, in the observatory of melancholy. While Morrissey’s lyrics are often about heart ache and his desire for all things out of reach, one can also find lyrics that embrace the things that he loves with a passion that is unmatched. The subject matter of Morrissey’s songs offer those that dare to listen a cynical and often whimsical view into his life. Morrissey is the living version of a comic strip that Oscar Wilde never published.
While passing his 20th year as a solo artist, 2009’s release of (due 16 February) “Years of Refusal” show that Morrissey has yet to show signs of slowing down. With a heavy round of touring to follow the release of Years of Refusal and a stop at Coachella, your chance to catch the last of famous international playboys is at hand. Do yourself a favor and let Morrissey sing your life.
