"It's part of being a sensitive, open human."
I've never heard someone describe depression in this matter and it breaks my heart of how true it is.
Jake Niehaus No,it´s not.It´s just a stupid way to feel diferent.Once you accept that you are not especial,then you are a step closer to get better.Believe me i´m tallking from experience
Aitor Llamazares How does one become "especial"?
You become special and then
add a "e"...
+Aitor Llamazares So, depression isn't a mental illness and it's a stupid way to feel different? damn lmao
Dean Quinn
Hey Dean.I didn´t mean that,but i think than depression is a temporary illness not part of being a sensitive guy.That´s just not true at all.I know many sensitive people who don´t know anything about depression.
There is not fancy about being depressed and it should never be glorified,that´s what i meant.
Please excuse my sloppy english,i´m Spaniard.
larry kings questions: who are you? who are the smiths? what is indie? is manchester a city in scotland?
lol
Lolll!
I like the question like what is the patient complaining about?
One thing you can never take away from Larry is that he's a very inquisitive, curious soul
"There is a better world
Oh there must be"
Larry hoover "Asleep" The Smiths. Beautiful yet sad.
The source of the "light" that never goes out?
What makes me feel a little better is that no individual suffering lasts forever
Morrissey depressive....who knew...
Thou Art That - heaven
Thou Art That
He already talked about it years ago
As a person who has survived clinical depression, and counseled people who have had it, I can tell you not two depressed people are alike.
Also I was able to give the impression that I was a positive person while I was dying inside. I had all I desired: a job in New York, a wonderful significant other, etc. But I privately battled it constantly.
Mine thankfully was cured, but not everyone's is.
To say that another does not have depression because they don't experience like you do is wrong.
How did you cure it?
+Brendan Fisher Morrissey doesn't know this, but kratom is a great depression cure. I find it definitely helps me get through my day.
Brian Smith yes but as the original commenter said, no two depressed people are alike. That includes how they react to certain medications and drugs, for you Kratom might work but it can make others feel worse, and for some they may end up becoming dependent on it.
Glad you feel better I wish I could no matter much love
@@brendanfisher Prozac worked for me personally.
This human being means so much to me
It's so easy to laugh, It's so easy to hate, It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Depression is absolutely crippling.
I wanna just hug him 😭
From someone who's lost a sibling from killing himself I have to say it's a life sentence for me it's always there never leaves me from the waking up to going to bed the years just mean nothing you don't "get over it" or find closed its part of me now and I still find it hard to talk about it
sid snot So sorry man, they are waiting for you on the other side. Take care.
Wow how about that, after almost 50 years in broadcasting, 50 years of interviewing almost every person imaginable, Larry finally gets to interview God.
?
"this guy looks like Robbie Williams" annnd you just ruined your credibility
He's just a person. Not 'God'. I love The Smiths/Morrissey's work for decades but no need to be fanatic and OTT over musicians etc. They're just people.
killwill83 : because it shows your pettiness
(kinda like marking my comments)
It must be a dream come true for larry
I think a lot of people are hesistant to agree with Moz's stance on suicide being "admirable", but we have to consider how suicide is perceived through the lens of a depressive. To someone who's been tailed by the "Black Dog" for their entire life, finally having the balls to step in front of a double-decker bus is quite admirable. All depressives, at some point they wonder, when is enough 'enough'?
Morrissey needs to drop some LSD, he'll be writing broadway musicals before the week is out
Truth Hurts _ The guy has been a rockstar for 40 years, I'm sure he's done LSD before...
@@anselmguile6070 he has, the song "Interesting Drug" is about Acid
Morrissey isn't selfish like some other depressed artists in the past. I think he uses his fans to continue on, despite his difficulties.
So brave Mozza. You give us all hope...
Depression started the smiths
oskey o I liked the cure
"I've cured you!" lmao
I think this is not promoting suicide or anything similar, he is not using proper words but what kind of answer do you expect when you ask such questions to a depressive man? In certain way it describes a lot how a person with depression see the life, it is like suddenly the Idea of suicide is not as crazy as it should be, as if only the 'brave ones' are 'strong enough' to do it. I am not telling this is right, is actually a disease!! and for the people that have this is very hard to get over it, it is like the black days find no end and you feel like it has no cure, maybe that is wrong but is the way the sick person see it...
I've had it for most of my life and I'm going on 26. I have always loved the Smiths, he was absolutely brilliant with the Smiths, spellbinding in fact. The best thing I've taken to date for my depression have been magic mushrooms; Magic mushrooms have proven therapeutic effects on most people who take them in a controlled safe environment.
Totally agree with everything MOZ said
Here's a positive point.. No depression no Morrissey. None of us would have ever known him,, its his sensitive state that makes him who he is, a real individual a one off...his heart is securely on his sleeve. He uses poetry and music as an outlet or a coping mechanism to get through his life. Just goes to show that success money limelight and fame all that hasn't changed mozz. You can not have a holiday away from yourself.
I was in a studio being interviewed by Larry King
Ans heaven knows, i'm miserable now...
the bit at the end, the last 15 secs - that made me depressed ("hey guys larry here" etc
R.I.Peace, Larry King 💔
Oh Morrissey...So wise.
One of the smartest and honest things I ever heard about depression:
"There is no cure it's a part of being a sensitive human!"
And no it never really goes away like he said even if you tried all the different drugs they proscribe for it.
I guess he and I could try ECT, which is supposed to be helpful against drug resistant depression but he doesn't say and wasn't asked if he has tried it.
In the end it's like he said "a state of mind" and only you can change it i.e. no one will do it for you!
There is also Deep Brain Stimulation for treatment resistant depression.
“Every day is silent and grey”
As soon as he mentioned it especially about the self harm part i immediately thought of ian curtis, unfortunately he never made it god bless his soul RIP
Thanks Morrisey your honesty is inspiring I’m sure it will help others as it helps me. Cheers pal ♥️
Very eloquently and profoundly stated- the man is a genius!!
I agree with him about suicide
It's not depression, it's being too smart and lucid about things, people and life itself. And Morrissey is right: it just cannot go away.
God bless him
He is a genius
i'm bipolar, which causes depression. in public, i hide myself with a different persona, talkative, making jokes, laughing. most people don't believe i'm depressed. but deep down i'm depressed more or less all of the time. solitude makes it twice worse. medication helps a bit, of course, but the pain never really goes away.
Peace and love to you Mr Morrisey... I got a heavy old dark black dog, too! PS thank u for " is it really so strange?"
No more of this silliness
Anyone who feels suicidal, DO NOT LISTEN TO MORRISEY, he is talking shit. I think the guy is a genius but I've heard him say several times that he thinks suicide is admirable. There may or may not be a cure to depression, but there are ways of managing it to the extent where you can still have a good life, and even turn your depression in your favour, such as creativity. The issue with many Morrisey fans is they think this guy is a God and will take everything he says as Gospel. Morrisey is a fallible human being just like everyone else. He has an opinion on everything it seems, sometimes I wholeheartedly agree with him, and sometimes I vehemently disagree with him, such as now.
If you are suffering with depression, please seek help, don't suffer in silence, and certainly don't think suicide is admirable. Being able to survive depression and getting through it is admirable.
I really admire you for taking time to explain this. You are a very responsible and sensitive person
I don’t disagree with your sentiment, but you’re being logically inconsistent in regards to the nature of subjectivity when you say that on one hand you can agree or disagree with him, while on the other, stating your moral values as though they were universal truth.
If you’re going to proclaim your disagreement with somebody, you should at least be able to defend your position on the basis of its own merit(s), rather than simply relying on vague social consensus. Saying ‘I think it’s wrong, and you should too’ isn’t going to convince most people.
That's because Morrissey is also a Narcissist. It's a brutal combination.
"The issue with many Morrisey fans is they think this guy is a God and will take everything he says as Gospel". Huh? that's news to me. I'm curious as to how you arrived at that sentiment. Morrissey fans have always been savagely critical of him. I think you're confusing passion for the music and aesthetics of Morrissey with mindless pop star worship. The latter has never been the case with Morrissey fans.
LOVE
He does not describe "Depression", he describes Dysthymia. Chronic negativism, a depressive themed narrative to life. Depression is an illness that happens to you and can be alleviated. Dysthmia is an incapacity to be positive, cheery, optimistic.

Morrissey? Depressed? Now I've heard EVERYthing.
I think they were joking!
I meant the original poster friend
People who mistakenly assume they are happy... sounds like a Morrissey lyric right there
Music is your therapy Mozza.
Morrissey tudo vai ficar bem, meu querido! Eu te amo muito! São Paulo/Brasil ❤❤❤❤❤
Wait did I miss this or did he just say taking your own life was admirable?
i'm shocked. but no- love morrissey
'Even those who mistakenly think they are happy'
It's funny, because you hear things like one person in four will experience depression at some time.
Try four people in four - that will be nearer the truth.
Is he sensitive to only his own feelings?
+Teh goat His songs are not always about himself.
Mark H but the video about himself and waking up with self loathing due to substance abuse.
+Teh goat substance abuse? Morrissey has never done any substances...
He's not completely straight edge, he drinks like a fish.
And to animal rights.
Enough of this silliness. Exactly what I am thinking about the fake pandemic..
I thought you said 'enough of this silliness...'
depression is being a home dweller and too "poor" to travel.
Not true, I went on vacation to the Balkans and the black dog followed me. It followed me to the beach, the club, you can get distracted, but the black dog gets hungry from time to time.
If you don't have it, you're probably not alive. It's impossible to avoid in life
Thank God for Morrissey
Why are you asking about his depression and if he had ever thought of harming himself and about the issue with "C".Yes, he is Morrissey but he is entitled to his privacy.
This is not entairtenment if that is what shows of this kind aim at.
Oh he is handsome, isn't he!
truth.
I personally know how it feels to have bad depression I've had it more years than some of the young whippersnappers so ready to criticise have been alive medication isn't always the answer can make it worse
true, medication treatment is very complicated. depends on a lot variables whether it helps someone. for some it does help, for others it makes things worse. for me, I happen to be a percetage of people who are "drug resistant." I'm trying to get better, putting in work. but you know what would help? a society that better understood mental health and was compassion towards it. we're not there yet and it's really sad
0.44 ... you can hear the emotion
A lot of despair stems from unmet expectations, i would advise Mos to expect less from a moronic world
What did Morissey mean at the very end -“…it’s admirable”
What’s admirable ?
Allot of the time it is weather related, the British weather and lack of Sunshine can make you feel horrible especially like this year when we have not even had one full sunny day, why do you think British people are so desperate for a sun filled holiday.
I have tried anti depressants and it does not work for me either. I am not discouraging people from using them it just personally does not help me, and I have to make a point to be social, and engaged in my problems with depression.
There's nothing admirable about suicide, Moz. I love you, but you're wrong. I understand that life is unbearable for some people and suicide is the only solution they can muster, but that's not admirable-it's certainly not shameful, but it's not something to be admired.
I think he mean that he admires the courage and not the act itself
I think it takes courage
jason crumpet R.W. Chambers - The King in Yellow = suicide solution.
Jesus can save you. Say a prayer in His name.
I think he means he admires the courage it takes to escape your predicament at whatever cost. I wish I was brave enough to.I think it is admirable....or is it jealousy? Jealous that I can't escape.
He wouldn't have written the tunes he did without it I should think. Every cloud...
Heaven knows I'm miserable now.....
I fckin love Morrisey!
I totally agree with morrisey there is know cure for depression you wake up feeling like fuckin shit and just some how get thru the the day i take medication its helps a bit but makes me fat so its a catch 22 feel suicidal or take meds??but know matter what that depression is allways there scratching my brain.
Morrisey really is a hoot. He perpetually criticizes the times, but increasingly becomes a refractive index of them. This kitsch confessional is one such example. He guards his privacy, and yet is seduced into the web of fame and notoriety - a mouse-wheel he just can't seem to jump off. He criticizes aggrandizement, and yet suffers from the same solipsism. He condemns the wealth machine, and yet enjoys it's spoils. He parades his intellect of being widely read, and yet is not deeply read. He is in love with Englishness, and yet eschews living there any more. Honestly.. I can't take him seriously. Perhaps that what he wants, just to play games because he's bored.
Don't believe everything you read. He's been living in Trafford for the past decade.
The thing I don’t get; if he’s depressed all the time; how does he have the energy to be write music?
It is most likely an escape for him, a way for him to express himself and how he is feeling without involving anyone else, since it seems he likes to suffer privately, among many others and myself.
Nobody's truly happy. Just like nobody's truly depressed. Thats just life
Yes, there is. Meditate using mantras. It's up to you to be happy. No one else will do it for you. Exercise. Stop feeling so guilty about everything. You deserve to be happy. Permit yourself to be happy. Stop being so perfectionist and so critical. Remmeber we are not our thoughts. Their is really nothing inside your head. You are empty, there is only space.
***** Meditation is not a Woo movement? I had depression and was able to come out of it thanks to meditation and yoga. Feeling that connection with mother earth is what many of us are missing in our lives
Cheer up Morrissey. Please its not that bad.
Churchill named it 'Black Dog'! Morrissey is so pretentious and conceited ...
He's too good and gifted not to have a black dog haunting him...
Did he just condone suicide??!! What a very tragic man
So you 'condemn' suicide? Cruel.
Morrissey,I love your music,writing talent etc, but depression is having to get up at 3:30am,loading a van ,in rain..,freezing cold, with the deliveries you have to get thru in your working day,and hoping you don't get caught by a speed camera ?!!!!!
Lifes a pigsty -Moz
You can't blame him
Only the fools are happy, the realists see how unfortunate these human conditions are
Morrissey is depressed about meat. It's all in his CD "Your Meat is Murdering My Ass".
I've cured you ? Oh Larry.....are you going to be the next one we find out ya gotta button under the desk to lock the door to your office ??
This guy is bummin me out
That’s a load of crap saying theirs no cure. Depressing is a self made state of mind created by self loathing. I hate it when people say theirs no cure it’s just an excuse for people to be miserable forever
Did he say that suicide is admirable?
I think this guy is trying to be too earnest to the point of being overly negative, to say that people mistakingly think they are happy is denying that people can be and indeed many people are. I think the problem with people like Morrissey is that they actually believe that the world is as dull and grey as they percieve when it's really their minds that filter this belief to them but their ego can't accept they don't somehow have a unique insight of reality
IT IS NOT ADMIRAL TO TAKE YOUR LIFE
Look I love the smiths and Morrissey being one of the prime creators of their music and style I love him for that but please PLEASE if you are depressed and do get thoughts of harming yourself (I get pretty down too- the smiths music tends to attract a certain crowd) DO NOT BELIEVE FOR A MOMENT IT IS ADMIRAL TO TAKE YOUR LIFE it's sad and reckless and if what he has said makes sense to you please please get help and maybe take a break from listening to gloomy moz, I agree with his depressing but darkly humorous lyrics and they help me when I'm sad but these words are incorrect and not ones to preach
IT IS NOT ADMIRAL TO TAKE YOUR LIFE it's a decision sick people make but despite what morrissey says you can recover morrissey says what he has because he is still sick and I know from my own experience depression makes you feel lost and hopeless but there IS HOPE it's a cliche for a reason just stick it out best you can and survive (you have the rest of eternity to be dead- you might as well see the whole life thing to the end and try it out for as long as possible and see how things and the world change)
TSKING YOUR LIFE IS NOT ADMIRAL
Suicide is admirable - there's no cure to depression. I hope he doesn't become a Samaritan
He's right there's no real cure and it's not about right or wrong it's just you feeling pointless it hurts more when people are either just in the way or not their at all but sometimes that's all just pointless also cause in the end it's all you bottom line
Dude. Close that shirt.
No he’s a silver fox
Clinical depression is not circumstantial. It's chemical and it can be successfully treated. There is hope!
I'm not sure they are getting the right help. A lot of families aren't even aware that a loved one is depressed. Sadly there's a stigma associated with depression that keeps people from getting the help they need.
JWGames Never heard any successful long term stories from brain meds. They turn you into zombies
That's certainly not wholly true. I know lots of people who wouldn't be here were it not for pharmaceuticals when they were at their worst. This attitude stops many from seeking help.
@@andrewtucker94 living in a state of permanent sedation is not a cure.
@@jfluffydog2110 Pharmaceuticals should only be used as one tool alongside therapy and/or changes in lifestyle, I agree.
Kind of thinks of himself as being sooo important
80s icon...
Vastly more people than admit to it suffer from depression.
None of this 1 in 10 people during their lifetime nonsense.
Try, more like: a lot of the people most of the time ...
I don't know if Morrissey has been depressed. He has lead a very productive life so far. If you are clinically depressed you can't even get out of bed, your body aches, and you can't concentrate. He might have experienced a recurring feeling of the blues, but not the clinical kind that requires serious intervention. Maybe, he has. Lastly, being sensitive and feeling good are not mutually exclusive.
i dont know, there is a condition called functional depression, people are very productive during this period, not healthy but productive, i am one i work long shifts as a black cabbie, i struggle but it does not stop me working, just my op
A lot of depression is a self fullfilling prophecy. I've heard most of his songs and he is a miserableist extraordinaire cultivating depression because thats how he makes money. negativity is bad for your health.
I am sorry he is suffering, but he can be a real ass, especially with evil meat eaters.
suicide 'admirable'? i disagree. there's nothing glamourous about death in my humble opinion. a n y w a y , get well soon moz.
vacuum cleaner I do feel exactly like him all over my life since i was a kid and ttly agree with him . I think you will only understand since you feel how it´s like. I use to say that happiness is like fleeting and melancholy always very latent. I just cant put this feeling out. That´s it. ;)
vacuum cleaner I believe he said this partly in regards to the general idea that suicide is "cowardly". Most people tend to think taking your life is selfish and weak, but Morrissey looks at it more in a way of: someone managed to take control and put an end to the pain. That takes courage in some way. He's not encouraging anyone, he's not saying every suicidal person should do it. He's just saying that suicide victims should be respected and not seen as cowards.
+vacuum cleaner He never said anything about suicide so don't know why everyone is trying to put words in his mouth!!!
He just said that some people are able to overcome their depression unlike him by just saying no more in their mind and taking control of their lives, he said nothing about killing yourself to do it!
daviangel No, he did talk about suicide, actually. Listen closely.
I like Morrissey but he's promoting suicide here
He's full of shit. Morrissey has made millions romanizing about loneliness and depression. Want to know who actually struggled with depression ? Elliott Smith, Cobain, Ian Curtis among others.
wovokanarchy he writes about his struggles, there's nothing wrong with that. It personally helps me because I can relate to it.
self declared "depressed" millionaires are the worst kind of people.
first-world problems taken to a whole other level.
i can see how it would be depressing waking up in a mansion, with whatever supermodel you bought home in your Ferrari last night.
i'm sorry if i'm not very sympathetic of his "dire circumstances",
but i'll save my sympathy for cancer victims and people who won't eat/drink today...
Such a naive person to think that if a person has money then they cannot feel depressed, depression isn't a thing that is created by money troubles or health problems. It is a mental state of mind that sometimes cannot be healed, think you should get a better understanding of it.
Exactly! Just look at robin williams
Dan Stoney It can be healed. Morrisey is chatting shite when he says otherwise.
Raptor Jesus Morrissey has dealt with depression since he was a young teenager living an average life. Achieving fame and fortune didn't cure a MENTAL ILLNESS.
Marije Bowie yet he's just said he's not been prescribed any medication.
i have a friend suffering from REAL peoples depression and without the meds they'd likely be dead.
so when a rich guy sits there and claims to be depressed but says he's getting along just fine without medication it actually makes me rather mad on behalf of the people who actually have real problems and real depression.
I wonder if he is fighting his true sexuality
He’s openly bi
He's turning into a self-parody. That's depressing.
You're right but I reckon the transformation began at least 15 years ago
I feel so sorry for someone who has had everything in life. Now your bored poor you. While most of us humans want wealth to take care of our family not to party.
Ken Fetters I think it's a fair bet that Morrissey doesn't party
i think he parties with his friends. and on stage. i think i couldn't imagine him like sleazing around drunk or getting trashed with loads of people.
