On to a very early composition:
One with several incarnations:
2:33 Producer: Dale Griffin (Jensen/BBC/Hatful)
2:20 Producer: John Porter (Single version)
2:44 Producer: Troy Tate (Troy Tate version)
3:05 No Producer (Crazy Face rehearsal)
The potential lifts & inspirations for the lyrics (Songs That Saved Your Life et al summated):
*Shelagh Delaney - The Lion In Love (Act I:1): "These things take time" .
*Opening line - The Battle Hymn of the Republic & The Year Of The Woman (1973) as cited by Marjorie Rosen in Popcorn Venus ("Mine eyes have seen the glory of the flame of women’s rage" ).
*Eamon de Valera - "Our eyes have seen the glory which Parnell and his comrades…” (Speeches, 1980). Another asserted influence (which may have links to A Rush & A Push...).
*Molly Haskell - From Reverence To Rape: "But even then she knew where she had come from and where she belonged."
*James Dean - Rebel Without A Cause: "I know a place where we can go." (Jim->Judy).
*The Sound Of Music - adapted lyric: "the hills are alive with celibate cries" (asserted often by writers).
Played ~46 times by The Smiths & never by Morrissey solo.
Sounded quite anthemic live.
Thoughts?
Regards,
FWD.
