Are we shocked that an edited video would have Morissey doing anything but appear poetic? Morrissey is the greatest chain jerker there is, and for that I love him.
Actually I can definitely hear a slight Irish lilt in his accent. It's not an Irish accent he has but I think perhaps he was trying to distance himself from his natural slight Mancunian accent. Possibly he was influenced by his mothers Irish accent, and he maybe also identified with Oscar Wilde who was also Irish.
@@PiratesAndCowboys its a bit of an exaggeration to say its irish with slight English. Its a very light mancunian accent with maybe slight irish undertones from His mam and dad
that's also the first thing I noticed! watching more interviews I realise how my perception of Moz changes. Always thought of him as this super confident and outgoing guy, but he's far different in real life.
@@39Fanclub super introverted people have great confidence in something they believe, in social instances it's hard because we see small talk as bullshit
Morrissey and the Smiths most characterize the apathy of modern Britain. The fact his old tight knit community was torn apart and replaced with concrete council flats is emblematic. Also the shit secondary school.
It's because he is good looking and he has a pleasant accent and dresses nice admit it he was above average in the looks department, if he was below average in looks he wouldn't get the same praise
whenever I see a tape of Morrissey having an interview I think: "damn, how is this artist still alive in my lifetime?" he gives the same feeling that you’d get being in the presence of someone legendary, but ghostly. I only get that feeling watching videos of Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, or Viktor Tsoi.
It's sweet how he has trouble with eye contact with his teacher when he meets her. You can see the shyness that is criminally vulgar. You can tell he has a lot of respect for her.
as a writer myself, I truly understand and appreciate what Morrissey had to say about having an inspiration and a muse. Some of the most mundane things to most people can be quite cathartic to the observant individual; the little details that give writing a depth, a richness to it. These details are essential, if we expect to find an audience. I've been a part of his audience since the beginning and I will be a part of it until he takes his final curtain call.... Thank you, Morrissey, for enriching my life's experiences, inspiring me, when no one else could, or would, inspire me. I love you....
2:58 - 3:46 When I first heard those words, he described my life and thus began my love of Morrissey. Everyone criticized me and told me to go out more, and I did but only to fit in and shut everyone up. For a brief time I thought my life would be like Pet Shop Boys 'Being Boring' but that quote from Morrissey really has been my life. Although I don't think anything I've written "will go down in the annals of history" lol
Shawn Kristen Jones This is what I'm like now. Everybody tells me to go out more and even my dad says I'm not 'normal'. I think its more to do with feeling like you don't fit in so you just try to enjoy your own company the best you can. It can get quite depressing sometimes though. I'm glad there is someone like Morrissey out there to remind me that I'm not alone in feeling that way.
Babywilko As he says in the smiths song, theres a pub if you'd like to go, you could meet someone who really loves you, So you go & you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home & cry & want to die!
Shawn Kristen Jones I feel the same. I don't have a lot of friends and like walk alone. I do listen music a lot and it helps me. Majority of people despite this way of living prefer communication to loneliness, but I do not. Hope you find my words and also I'd like to apologize for my broken English.
I absolutely love the way he has this dramatic measured intensity to him, he never directly faces the camera, always rotating his head and glaring off to the side, then describing how he thought he was mighty important as a young fella, everything would be recorded in the annals of history, then he says "it's proved to be quite true" and wryly smiles into the camera for the first time in the whole clip. If i can smile once in my life with that knowledge that I am who i want to be, i'll die happy
We are all a product of our upbringing. Some of us are more talented at expressing ourselves than others. The cheeky grin at the end of this was priceless.
@-- You shouldn't criticize other people feelings, sometimes idols musicians have a strong impact on their fans that's what makes them so important and influential in the society:)
"I never had a social life, I never left the house, I just simply sat in and read, and watch television, and done all the things in life that are generally considered to be quite negative, and quite soul destroying" 2:46 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA, omg Morrissey's tone is fucking hilarious. This guy is something you know. "I'm afraid uh, I'm somewhat of uh, a back bedroom casuality, I spent a great deal of time sitting in the bedroom writing feriously and feeling that I was terribly important, and everything that I wrote.. . would go down in the ainless of history, And uh.... It's proved to be quite true... (looks into the camera and gives a hilarious grin)... In a way..." 3:49 The face he makes when he says this is my life HAHAHAHAA. Like he's so pretentious and full of himself, which for some reason it's why I like Morrissey so much.
He's the biggest chain jerker out there. I love it. Most think Morrissey is all doom and gloom, which he is, but even more so he's a hilarious comedian laughing "furiously" at both you and himself.
This is why Morrissey is probably my favorite lyricist and musical artist of all time. Everything in his life I can relate to, and I went through myself.
I think he is more of an infj. His way of speaking seems unintentional and casual, but he's actually pretty calculated. Also, there's a sort of magnetic field around him which attracts people. He is charming and tragic at the same time. Infps can be charming and tragic too but in a very awkward way, they are more flegmatic, less to express certain emotions.
Every comment on this page is brilliant, spot on, humbling, revealing and very emotional. Thanks for sharing your feelings. I no longer feel i'm alone in my misery. I'm very grateful for Morrissey's lyrics and The Smith's music in my life.
SM, I can relate to what you wrote about misery. I enshrined the Smiths' music in my adolescence and young adulthood. But when I turned to the Lord Jesus Christ (not "religion"), my misery left me for good. He can do the same for you...and Mr. Morrissey.
***** I think Morrissey's eloquent and well spoken manner of speech was much more of a normal way to talk back then. Although some people may agree that people who talk in this way in the year 2014 sound gay (kinda true) back then it was the norm.. Anyway I think it's more a combination of that massive chin and the hissing of poor quality recording equipment that brings on the 'gay lisp' that we find in so many cartoons and comedies of today.
Andrew Toxic Don't make out you know what sexuality Morrisey is. He has admitted in many previous talks etc that he has had numerous female and male partners, he doesn't lack sexuality he lacks a label of sexuality.
TheCritch21 Does not necessarily mean he is not asexual, you can have partners without sex, from everything I know I would think he is probably close to asexuality, he has repeated many times that he is just not a sexual person
To understand Morrissey is to understand "loss". His words touch our sadness in a way that he would never trully recognize, since it would make Morrissey look back at the sadder moments of his life and ours. Every song he sings speaks of a dream unbidden, yet unspoken. How many of us know this....more than we'd like to say.
That's why The Smiths and Morrissey are so great. Very few bands and artists truly tap into that feeling of alienation that most people feel. 'Because the music that they constantly play .. it says nothing to me about my life.'
Loved when he visited his old teacher, so sweet, and also how his writing will go down in the annals of history, such a flirtatious cheeky smile. (Grew up obsessed with The Smiths and Morrissey, and was extremely lucky to photograph him last night at Alexandra Palace)
I love everything about Morrissey, I think he is so articulate, eloquent and unique and a beautiful soul I loved The Smiths from the first time I heard This Charming Man. I feel blessed to have grown up as they emerged and grew on the Britpop scene, along with so many others, the talent was so varied and off the charts.
this video came out 15 years ago and it’s still priceless, Morrisey is such a gentle, smart and talented man and he’s a huge inspiration to me, The Smiths will always be my favorite band
Stunning personality full of poetry. It’s incredible the way he manages to tell his life story, focussing on essential learnings and afterthoughts. England is portrayed at his best, it bring back memories about the inspiration I took from this country. Thank you for being so serious, meticulous and dedicated to your art Morrissey, that’s probably the main reason why you became a genius. from a Frenchman who spent 7 years of his life there.
He's so captivating and everything seems to stop when he opens his mouth. He makes you think as well, when listening to him speak or listening to his music. I find that rare in an artist in this day in age. Love him❤
There’s so many parts of him that are so relatable to people, which is why I think most of what he says of his past is very truthful and spoken out with a small sense of despondency but also endurance as regards to what he’s felt all his life
I really liked this! I wasn't sure what to expect, but he comes across as thoughtful, intelligent, and sentimental in a way that I didn't expect. I loved that little smile, and gleam in his eye's when he made the joke about his writing becoming apart of literary history, it was cute! Manchester was such a trip, looking at all it's desolation, and grey decay, it's easy to understand a lot of the lyrics coming out of those great post-punk bands in the Manchester scene during the early 80's. I'm glad this little piece still exists, thanks for sharing!
Morrissey is highly intelligent, insightful and creative, and has written and performed some fabulous songs with the Smiths, and also as a solo artist. I love the music and am captivated by the interviews. And yet, afterwards I always feel rather empty and subdued, and need to watch something funny or get out of the house.
Great doc. Thanks for posting it @vivahate33. Morrissey is truly one of the greatest artists of all time. I was lucky enough to see The Smiths on their last tour. I feel blessed by that.
Love the line and the look he gives when he says "its proved to be quite true, in a way". He is such a contradiction. Generally a shy person but at times, in brief moments, something ungraded, open, and flamboyant just jumps out proving the opposite.
As an old Trafford resident I pass 274 Kings Road often and the tram passes under the bridge morrisey went to school via. Oh how I wish he was back here
"I'm a afraid, yes, I'm somewhat of a back bedroom casualty. I spent a great deal of time sitting in the bedroom writing furiously, and feeling that I was terribly important and that everything that I wrote would go down in the annals of history, and it's proved to be quite true, in a way." Morrissey, there aren't words strong enough to describe the amazing impact you've had in my life.
I completely get what he's saying the house you grow up in as a child will forever hold an imprint on you and then one day they come in and demolish it and the area you grew up in has it's soul ripped out.
Morrissey would be an internet addict if he was born in the 90s.

I love Morrissey. His anger and pain reflects well in his music .Especially when he was with The Smiths.
This is such a beautiful video.
His voice is so calming wow
when his old teacher calls him Stephen
I really liked this! I wasn't sure what to expect, but he comes across as thoughtful, intelligent, and sentimental in a way that I didn't expect. I loved that little smile, and gleam in his eye's when he made the joke about his writing becoming apart of literary history, it was cute! Manchester was such a trip, looking at all it's desolation, and grey decay, it's easy to understand a lot of the lyrics coming out of those great post-punk bands in the Manchester scene during the early 80's. I'm glad this little piece still exists, thanks for sharing!
that's so sad. Poor houses and poor memories. I would have felt like him.
I've seen this so many times. Never gets old.
he was so incredibly handsome !
Great editing...that end fade away over the ruins and morrissey dissolving into that cement compound was really poetic..
I love how much i hate him and i hate how much i love him
The one saving grace of being born in Manchester; Morrissey also grew up here..
Zachary L this nation's saving grace, by any chance?

You’ve also had oasis, the stone roses and joy division to name a few 👍
I literally can't focus on what he's saying when his face and his voice is so attractive
Very well directed. Lots of feeling and info in just 5 minutes. And the last shot of Morrissey in the midst of the concrete madness is excellent.
I just learned of this band tn. So enchanted by his voice
This really helped me understand and appreciate Morrissey on a much deeper level.
Morrissey is highly intelligent, insightful and creative, and has written and performed some fabulous songs with the Smiths, and also as a solo artist. I love the music and am captivated by the interviews. And yet, afterwards I always feel rather empty and subdued, and need to watch something funny or get out of the house.
Great doc. Thanks for posting it @vivahate33. Morrissey is truly one of the greatest artists of all time. I was lucky enough to see The Smiths on their last tour. I feel blessed by that.
this brought tears to my eyes; a poetic soul indeed 💕
Charming man that Morrissey
Love the line and the look he gives when he says "its proved to be quite true, in a way". He is such a contradiction. Generally a shy person but at times, in brief moments, something ungraded, open, and flamboyant just jumps out proving the opposite.
This is my favourite Morrissey interview of all time... love it!
As an old Trafford resident I pass 274 Kings Road often and the tram passes under the bridge morrisey went to school via. Oh how I wish he was back here
This is the single greatest video in all of existence. Just...that editing...
Ikr. Back to the Old House playing as the camera drifts back over the urban decay. The feels.
*I want to leave, you will not miss me*
*I want to go down in musical history*
thank you for the video!
"I'm a afraid, yes, I'm somewhat of a back bedroom casualty. I spent a great deal of time sitting in the bedroom writing furiously, and feeling that I was terribly important and that everything that I wrote would go down in the annals of history, and it's proved to be quite true, in a way."
Morrissey, there aren't words strong enough to describe the amazing impact you've had in my life.
I completely get what he's saying the house you grow up in as a child will forever hold an imprint on you and then one day they come in and demolish it and the area you grew up in has it's soul ripped out.
I've been looking for this always but never realized till just now viewing it. Love this man
i love him , omg he is such a legend
Mahsa Yavari he is incredible and 100% an original and true artist
I love walking aimlessly around the streets where I live. Not depressing at all - it's great!
