It saddens me to report that Morrissey has been curled up in a fetal position on my couch for a week. See, I had promised him that my vast pool of fans would give our tune, “Lovely Liar,” a spin, and he was counting on their support as a sign that he’s still relevant, as a whiney, oversensitive English warbler. Alas, six people have listened, and just three from the blog. I’m one of them. I think maybe he’s one of them too.
I’m off to St. Louis for a few days, and when I get back I hope to see at least ten more listens on the counter, and Morrissey, it goes without saying, off my couch.
It’s a delightful little depressing number. You can see the lyrics here.
Seriously, how would you feel if your new live-in love interest showed up with a python? And when he/she bails, he/she leaves the python behind? You’d be depressed, of course. And you’d probably have to write a song about it.
Back in a week or so. Keep it cool.
Alright, I’ll add to your count. And bid you adieu with your milieu in St. Lou. Enjoy the time, be cool. I’ll be off to Montana about the time you’re coming back!
You’re doing Montana and then the Alps? Dude, you’re officially going for the gusto! Have a blast @ each.
Yes that’s the plan and thank you. Enjoy time with your mom, I’m wrapping mine up today/tomorrow. Bill
Have a great trip, Kevin. Not sure if SoundCloud counts the same visitor more than once, but I’m giving it another play as I type this.
Hey, my first two-time listener! I think it does count each listen, not each listener, so you’re in. Thanks, man!
Very cool song! Finished your memoir! I’ll write a review as soon as I can, but I enjoyed it MUCH.
Thanks so much, Luanne! Glad you liked both. And thanks in advance for your review.
Now that is a cover, right? I feel like I’ve heard that Morrissey song but also feel potentially stupid that you wrote it yourself, to sound like Morrissey. But it’s perfect. And it makes perfect sense someone would forget his birthday, I get that. I would. I’m not sure if I want to hug him or push him off the curb, you know. Probably one before the other.
Or push him off the kerb, as it were …
No, it’s an original, man. I don’t think Moz would actually put his name to this song, even if it does feel like something that might have happened to him.
God, is that man sad! 😭
PS — Thanks for listening!
