Single Review

The morbid and the mundane have been shaken up and served on a different plate so many times by Morrissey, yet it still leaves the same lingering aftertaste of insight and emotion. Written with Jesse Tobias, this offering relies on a swooning pop melody to deliver the lurid tale of nothingness and redemption from that fate. What better way to show that you are not ready for your music career to be placed in a coffin than a lamenting song about being dead, whilst you still appear to the outside world to be breathing?
