Have you ever heard a hound dog?

Hounds of Love by Kate Bush?

Hounds are the same as hunting dogs.

I spent 20 minutes looking for a pixelated cock!

I think this song is the best of the bunch.

A few minor thoughts:

I'm pretty sure that the chorus is "my life is open" after repeated listens, not "my life is opera." It makes more sense, lyrically -- he is the object of art. But I could be wrong; it's hard to tell on YouTube.

I also disagree that the ending of the song doesn't work. I think the pills and take my hand bit is a nice coda. It appears that the reason the musicians just seem to go on a bit is that they played an extra measure, and should have ended when Moz said "Nobody knows." Which is understandable on the first live airing.

Anyhow, a great song!

Don't forget about a decent mastering engineer too. You know, for like listening to the music and stuff.

YOR would have been a wonderful album if it had a good mastering!

 

[Pokey]

Still not sure if it's Opera or Open (don't think its 'a book', sorry Viva!). I think it's Opera though, the style in which he sings the word is "operatic" to some degree, and in the context of the song his life being an Opera could be the same as saying his life is full of drama.

 

[GlasgowChivas]

It's opera.

And if it isn't, it should be.

I'm not a fan of Bill Inglot's treble-heavy mastering, especially on Years of Refusal where the songs are already loud and heavy to begin with. I think the original 1997 Maladjusted CD has the best mastering out of all the Morrissey CDs.

How will mastering affect the potential of Art Hounds and the newer material? As long as they don't brickwall it and Morrissey finds a decent producer who doesn't think iTunes is the holy grail, we'll have something listenable.

I'm really looking forward to hearing a studio mix of this

 

[CrookedLittleVein]

I thought it was:

"In hushed European museums
Will I see 'em, will I see 'em, will see 'em."

museum/see um...

But I have been reading Dr Seuss to my daughter recently. Mostly 'The Sneetches' and 'What was I Scared Of?'

 

[mcrickson]

It's opera.

And if it isn't, it should be.

I think it'd be cool if it was "My life is over."

But honestly, it could very well be "My wife is Oprah," because I can definitely hear that.

[Fulham Road Lights]

"When they can't find a table for their fat Aunt Mabel, they stamp their feet and cry" and "below the belt is shrivelled and small, it knows a thousand woes" have got to be the two most hilarious Morrissey lyrics in years. Trouble is, I don't know if it's deliberate.
