Joseph's comment on his favorite love song -
"I chose 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' 'cause my friend Cerise told me it would be a really good idea. Joan Wasser played violins. She is a light that never goes out. I hope Morrissey likes it."

    Oh well, can't expect too much.

  • Dear Friends,

    I really despise most songs which cover Morrissey/Smiths tunes. Most are simply awful- and I have a good collection of these cover tunes!!!

    However, you should *really* buy this CD if only to listen to this version of "There is a Light..."

    This incredibly version is extremely haunting, yet- at the same time- uplifting. It is best listened to at a higher-than-average volume. The song is deeply textured- it is woven with violins.

    Give this one a try. I can't stop listening to it. It sounds reminiscent also of My Morning Jacket ("Golden").

    Always-

    I don't usually buy compilation CDs- but this one is rather interesting. Yes I bought it at Starbucks. (I have mixed feelings about Starbucks in general- but the coffee is good)-

    Most of the tunes are very clever and interesting.

    My favorites are
    Rufus Wainwright- "My Funny Valentine"
    Calexico- "Love Will Tear Us Apart"

    There is also an *excellent* (touching) Matthew Sweet Cover.

    Of course- the best- is the Smiths' classic cover.

    It is *not* the best compilation CD- but it is interesting.
