I'm really liking the song "Bigmouth Strikes Again" off of The Smiths, The Queen Is Dead. I think it's mostly because they jack up the pitch of morrisseys voice for the chorus... and it just sounds so cool -- which is extra cool because it would sound ridiculous done by any other band. For the first few listens I kept thinking he was singing "SWEETNESS" which seemed really cool... but, then I realized that it sounded more like "BIGMOUTH" and the whole thing suddenly made sense. I also like "Cemetary Gates" because he talks about some literary people that I don't really know too much of, and also about writing things that you believe in... sort of. basically. I also like "I Know It's Over" a lot, and if I'd been listening to this song just a year ago, I'd be lying in my bed with covers over my face for days, the song on repeat, all the while crying into my care bear. But, to counter that, I can listen to "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" and smile while thinking of things to come. and stuff.

... and I like how it took me awhile to figure out that morrissey was morrissey from morrissey. I'm a bright one, I am.
