My name is Alma and I just found out for this song. For once in my life I feel special Edit post 3yr after: ( not long after this comment I got in a relationship and till now we are together. Even engaged and I have never felt so special in someones life before so put your head up you will be better someday)
I'm from Brazil, live in Dallas Texas for about 20 plus years but when that song came out in 97, I thought it was one of his best because it sounded contemporary compared to The Smiths's past material. I'd raise the volume to 11 while listening to it on my walkman in the bus going home after a 12 hours shift.
"It's my life to wreck my own way." I think about this line when I feel the judgement from family and others about the direction I've taken in my life. Reminds me that even if I've made mistakes and done things others disagree with, ultimately everyone has to live their own life and can't live just to satisfy someone else.
@@Juliana-xl2fudo not make fake assumptions. He has never held a press conference, he has never voted in both USA & England. Just because his art has themes of right-wing doesn't mean his personal opinions are right-wing. And many of the right-wing themed so gs are quite ironic more than they are completely serious.
I love and listen to a lot of music, different genres, different eras.........but still, after all these years, nothing resonates as much as, and means so much to me as, what Morrissey writes and performs. It never fails to lift me.......sublime.
Morrissey's lyrics are often so clear and straightforward that it's impossible not to relate to, even if your life circumstances are completely different from his. He's not actually a poet, not in the traditional sense of this term at least, because poets love flourished and artificial language, while Moz's language is always natural and always brutally honest. He reminds me of Leonard Cohen in this regard, even though they are not musically related. Maybe it's because his life experiences, that lead to his writing his painful lyrics, are much more relatable than the wild fantasies and never ending party lives of 'traditional' rock stars. Here we have a real man, talking about real situations, in a real world, not a piece of fiction. He may sound exaggerated and even over-dramatic sometimes, but if you think how many people feel exactly like him, but are afraid of ever letting their true souls, their true feelings exposed, you will feel grateful because there are artists like him. He somehow manages to make the harsh reality of human existence more tolerable by exposing it just as it is, and I don't know how he manages it, because generally we crave for an escape, we crave for illusions. Maybe we should think of this as part of his charm, part of his charisma, as part of the mystery that makes him the fantastic singer-songwriter that he is. Long live, Moz, dear friend.
Very well said. It's not healthy to pretend one is happy all the time, and Morrissey's songs help me feel the painful emotions, move through them, and come out the other side with a smile on my face 😊
....to sum it up....MOZ IS ABLE TO "BE PLUGGED IN" AND EXPRESS PERFECTLY THE HARSH REALITY OF LIFE....NOT FAKING TO GAIN IDOL STATUS....WITH THAT... TONGUE- IN-CHEEK WE ALL LOVE...👍
That's such a greatly written critique, with beautiful sentiment, you've really grasped the concept of Morrissey and the legacy of the Smiths. Oh Manchester, so much to answer for x

Davis Fountain He has Barratt's Esophagus. Most people with that have to have scrapes to screen for cancer as it can go that way. I haven't heard him say he has cancer.
I love this man. I think the establishment cant cope with the challenging truth. Its not rocket science that Morrissey entitled one of his albums ' Vauxhall & I.. He wasn't talking about a car... xx
Morrissey there is music that you can make that is horrible. I have grown up listening to the Smiths/ Morrissey and trust me it don't disappoint. And trust me I'm up there in age 42 to be exact. My Wife and I grew up to listening to you oh and now we got our Kids liking your music to the point of going to your October Concert in San Diego 👍
He is a prodigy in my view so original lyrics are superb and speak to you I have seen him every time he is in my area and I still have yet to touch his hand. Something compelling about him im a fan till the light goes out
Gracias Mozz por haber crecido conmigo, por ser rebelde y tan directo como eres..............los genios nacen una vez jamas olvidaré que mi juventud la pasé con tus discos.
Thank goodness for everything you gave in your music that entertained and hung around my youngest years. Thank you Morrissey for being such a drama queen.
Ouvi hoje novamente chorei litros de saudades de duas mães que perdi recentemente, estava passando em um lugar onde estivemos muito felizes.. Morrissey, sempre o melhor. Alma washed in tears. Alma matters in mind, body and soul.
How can anyone not like this song
I ask at myself the same😢
Seriously ❤
Porque son normales

Hi my name is ALMA and i was in high school when this beautiful piece came out. I love you Steven Patrick Morrissey for life.
Alma in Portuguise is Soul!
I'm Irish - I understand, exactly, what Morrissey is saying - he's a darlin' ❤
This song got me through the day today. And Morrissey got me through life in general.
I hope you got to be better than your thought you could be. I’ve got through a lot with Morrisey and the Smiths. I wish you the same.
If I ever have another serious relationship, it will have to be with someone who gets & appreciates Morrissey.
Miles Davis, optional. Morrissey, required.
You tell me if I’m kidding.

Viva MOZZA!
My name is Alma and I just found out for this song. For once in my life I feel special
Edit post 3yr after: ( not long after this comment I got in a relationship and till now we are together. Even engaged and I have never felt so special in someones life before so put your head up you will be better someday)
You ARE special, dear. Stay safe, Alma.
Lovely! Well Alma, you matter!!
I'm someone, somewhere.
well,you're lucky one..nice to hear that
You are truly special Alma! I don't know you, but I do know that! And You're the only person who sees things like you do, and that's VERY important!
This song and melody goes down very smoothly. Morrissey can sing the phonebook and I'd love it!
Why do you look like a school principle
Because you are devoid of a soul... GuG Fur U....
I love the chord progression throughout.

If Morrissey threw a bowl of cereal in my face it would rank highly among the most cherished moments of my life.
with soy milk?
? Am i being insulted in some droll, English way?
Lmao. Me too brother...me too.
right😂👏👏👏💞

Eating doughnuts. With a cat. Singing on some staircase. It has been proved: Morrissey can pull off any videoclip!

Morrissey is the most beautiful man in the world and no one listens to him about his causes. Animals.
hardly... while he refuses to reunite The Smiths he will always be a pos
absolutely one of his best ever tunes, shouldn't be overlooked..
This song is so underrated
By who???
Alma literally means *soul* and I think that’s beautiful 😌
In portuguise
In Hungarian it means apple. Who knew Morrissey was helping keep the doctor away? What a madlad.
the most fav morrissey’s song for me 🎉🎉🎉
One of my favorite singles of Moz 💫💫💫💫❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Always underrated Morrissey song, but one of his best!
What beautiful music. That chord progression is to die for.
thanx for that dan; we'll let u know
Love Morrissey's cryptic messages like in this one life doesn't come sugar coated
About who?
In general Rick brown
To someone somewhere
This song brings back many memories from when I was in high school, driving a brand new 4runner, hanging out with my friends.
It's so epic when Morrisey throw the cereal 😂
This ROCKS, my name's Alma :)
Love Love Morrrissey! Love how he loves his cats and how his pals love his cats. Will love you forever and forever Morrissey. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Maravillosa declaración de principios de Morrissey. Cuando apareció en las radios, la crítica "especializada" dijo que era el "peor single" no sólo del disco sino también de la carrera del ex Smiths. ¿Qué tenían en la cabeza esos "críticos"?
Es prácticamente una patada a todos esos críticos. Es obvio que iban a querer tirarle bosta
eran sordos estimado
Es una canción hermosa y una de las mejores de su discografía.
Ya lo decía Woody Allen "los críticos son como los impotentes, saben cómo se hace todo, pero no lo pueden hacer".
Esses críticos pelo visto não entendem nada de música...
Para mí esta canción es mía,es mi declaración de vida,de quién soy...la quiero cuando parta de este mundo.
Morrissey will always be a legend 🙌 👏 🎖🏆🏅👑
Finalmente encontrei tô à mas 10 anos procurando por essa música só não sabia o nome dela. Uma das mas lindas músicas que já ouvi Grande Morryssey ADORO esse cara

I personally think it's one of the best.
