Today's song is this Morrissey/Street composition, a B-side on "Everyday Is Like Sunday" - what do we think?
[The A-Z will now pause for a summer break, and we'll start up again on Monday 16th August.]
Morrissey So L'eau?If someone ever made a perfume called Essence of Morrissey, it would smell like this song.
I think it's a completely different take on the song, rather than Alain not being able to play and thus "butchering" it. Gannon plays it like a Smiths song, a jangly indie pop song in the vein of Marr. Alain accentuates the rockabilly influences and plays it more twangy and raw. It's a completely different arrangement at that.Majestic and flawless when Smiths reserve guitarist Craig Gannon plays it.
Then Alain 'The Butcher' Whyte gets his hands on it and the difference is there for all to hear.

Very diplomatic. You say 'different arrangement' I say 'butchered'.I think it's a completely different take on the song, rather than Alain not being able to play and thus "butchering" it.
