Will Never Marry

Gutwrenchingly good.
 
The 14th best Morrissey song, to be precise! Even better than Nobody Loves Us. http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?t=83646&page=2
How I wish Moz would stop using those ghastly synth strings and revert to the real thing. The strings in the Viva Hate era songs were wonderful.

1) Everyday Is Like Sunday 9,59
2) Suedehead 9,55
3) Now My Heart Is Full 9,55
4) Speedway 9,54

9) Trouble Loves Me 9,14

very moving song. also the video of it on "Oye Esteban" - incredibly powerful.
 
Do you think Moz was influenced by the old folk song, covered by Ramblin' Jack Elliott and many others, "I Never Will Marry"?

I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I intend to stay single
For the rest of my life
One day as I wandered
Down by the seashore
The wind it did whistle
And the waters did roar

I heard a poor maiden
Make a pitiful cry
She sounded so lonesome
At the waters nearby

"I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I intend to stay single
For the rest of my life

"My love's gone and left me
He's the one I adore
I never will see him
No never no more

"The shells in the ocean
Will be my deathbed
And the fish in the waters
Swim over my head"

She plunged her fair body
In the waters so deep
She closed her pretty blue eyes
In the waters to sleep

I never will marry
I'll be no man's wife
I intend to stay single
For the rest of my life
 


i love the video of will never marry where they cut all the stage hugs together WHICH CAN be seen on the introducing video+the oye esteban video
..but this video from youtube (and all further videos must stem not from introdrucing but from "¡Oye Esteban!" cause the last minute is missing
..at the introducing version of the stage invasion "willl never marry" montage it actually continues a bit further then as it can be seen on youtube
:when the song hushes and the music stops for a second then the music starts again with the instrumental of "will never marry" and you see further invasions for about a minute longer than in the youtube version
maybe someone could upload the longer version?

havent brett anderson name it as his favourite morrissey song once?
