Morrissey A-Z: "When Last I Spoke to Carol"

[Deleted member 28251]

With the right marketing approach, this song would’ve been a top five single. Surely?

He didn’t seem to feel like coming to someone’s aid or rescue was pointless in songs like sunny

Is that Lana Del Rey at the beginning of the live clip? Just asking for a friend.

He has grown colder over the years.

I see the docile one has proved once again he’s clueless in Minnesota. He doesn’t even know the title of the song.
Box sets, Japan rarities, Vegas 45’s, nobody ever loved me, pow, wow xx

Thank you. Phenomenal similarity (at first sight).

He’s grown harder but I don’t think he’s grown colder. I see lots of sympathy coming from morrissey. I think he also has the practicality and perspective of an intelligent man of his age who maybe feels like he doesn’t have the time for the superficial

The Toy Selectah remix should probably be included as it was released through official channels (albeit initially rather obscurely - Myspace & Universal Sweden).




Further,
This:




Is meant to be the 'Tijuana' (aka Nortec Collective) version and was asserted to be remixed with 'official' sanction.

I like both of these but I can't believe a 'Meat Mix' received 'official' sanction...

Do you not hear “Jim Jim Falls” as a Morrissey internal monologue about self-doubt? “Staircase At The University” I find cold and without a hint redemption for anyone involved.

 

[Southport Grandma]

Probably my favourite song from the album I’ve enjoyed the least.

 

[Famous when dead]

I like both of these but I can't believe a 'Meat Mix' received 'official' sanction...

I believe Stephane cited it that way as, given the time period, they wouldn't have access to the vocal take (which sounds unmixed/different) unless it was handed to them.
It's also been called the Nortec Coyote mix, Nortec Bostich & Fussible and just Nortec - who knows?
But:

(Sagrada = sacred)

That was more or less my interpretation when first hearing the lyrics, but English is not my first language, so I became a bit unsure after reading some of the earlier comments. To me, Carol has clearly been battling depression for a long time and Morrissey, suffering from the same affliction, is unable to help her and too sincere to bring himself to say those empty phrases that people say to "cheer" someone up.

The lyrics are pretty dark, but the song is catchy and energetic and I hope that he will sing it live again in the future.

yes, exactly

Not entirely sure what you’re getting at, but I actually feel he has become more superficial these past 15 years or so.

Yes, exactly. Some people, however, maintain that he is singing to himself.
