Actually, Morrissey and Sandie Shaw became friends, I think. He (and Johnny) were fans of her music from the '60s, onwards and wrote her a letter, or something. And she eventually agreed to meet Moz and ended up recording some of their songs.

And then went on to sort of reinvent her career I guess.

The Smiths are my favourite band EVER. I listen to a variety of music but mainly Hip-Hop i'd say but the Smiths rule all! The lyrics are truely amazing and Morrissey's voice . Speaking of I love Ringleader of The Tormentors

Cris

The Smiths are so great!

I love 'There's a light that never goes out'!

Where's My Elephant?

I love The Smiths. I have all their albums. The Queen Is Dead is my favorite album of theirs and "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" is my favorite of all their songs.

Thanks for that! I to hear little stories like those of my favorite musicians...it makes them more real to me somehow. I love to feel as if their fans themselves, you know? Because then they must know how I feel about them.

Moz is afraid of his own fans, though.

I'm amazed that most people don't say "How Soon is Now?" is their favorite Smiths song.

I don't think I can choose a favorite. It changes with my mood. Right now it is: This Night Has Opened My Eyes. That's a really good bassline right there.

Thanks Andi for the little info.

It's quite strange because once that a song is played in a popular tv show it becomes an instant hit.

But I love that song anyway.

Yeah. 'How Soon is Now?' was the first Smiths' song I heard because of 'The Wedding Singer' soundtrack (and 'The Craft', too). And then the Love Spit Love version was played on Charmed.

But I don't know what my favourite is. Perhaps 'I Know It's Over' and 'There is a Light That Never Goes Out'. The latter because it's one of the best love songs written, ever imo.

And no worries, guys. I like to tell little stories like that.

Nikki K

You and me both.

As for favourite songs, I'd also go with "I Know It's Over", "There is a Light That Never Goes Out", "A Rush, a Push and the Land is Ours" also "Hand in Glove", which I adore.

Ohhhh. I love that little, growl kind of thing (it's the only way I can explain it) he does in 'A Rush...'.

*Circe*

I love the little noises Moz makes that no one can properly explain.

Like In This Chamring Man...I would kill to be able to make that noise.

I'm fine with not being able to make them. But hearing them makes me a little weak in the knees.

I bought from a local store "You Are The Quarry" at the indecent price of 3$.

I'm officially in love with "I'm Not Sorry" and "How Could Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel".

a n d i

3$?? That's awesome!! I just fell in love with 'First of the Gang to Die'. I even made a t-shirt with the sillhouette of the tommy gun on it, with 'First of the Gang to Die' written underneath. Then on the back it says 'You have never been in love, until you've seen sunlight thrown, over smashed human bones'. And I wrote 'Morrissey' on the sleeve. Hee.

The Wanderer

Wow, I love that t-shirt. And the lyrics are amazing.


And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've done
And I'm, Not looking for, Just anyone

I'm, Slipping below the water line, I'm, Slipping below the water line
Reach for my hand, And, And the race is won
Reject my hand, And, The damage is done

I'm, Slipping below the water line
I'm, Slipping below the water line

The woman of my dreams, She, She never came along
The woman of my dreams, Well, There never was one

And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've said

*Circe*

You know, I remember him doing an interview when he was promoting this album where he said that he was in a relationship with a woman and the radio DJ person was so shocked! It was kinda funny to hear...



At Coachella, I saw so many Moz tattoos...my friend and I started making bets as to how long it would be until we saw another one.
