[QUOTE="Amy, post: 1987298456, member: 2821"] Morrissey's vocal melodies are often sublime and have saved many an average backing track in his solo career. Johnny has said he never, ever did what you might expect with a backing track - he'd leave a long intro and come in on what was meant to be the 'chorus', put the actual chorus where the writer thought the verse would be and basically make up his own preferred structure. Sometimes there's just one line, one magic 'moment' that just takes the song to another level. Some of my favourites: Late Night, Maudlin Street I've Changed My Plea to Guilty ("See how your rules spoil the game?") Lost ("So if I see you, and I tell you, how I've watched you...") Boy with the Thorn (the entire song is a God-level masterpiece) Now My Heart is Full ("Loafing oafs in all-night chemists, underact express depression") Nobody Loves Us ("Caaaall us home... kiss our cheeks, nobody loves us" Last of the Famous International Playboys November Spawned a Monster Shoplifters of the World.. Ask Stop Me I'll Never Be Anybody's Hero Now Blue Dreamer's Eyes [/QUOTE]
