Morrissey Ganglord

When he gets it right,he really gets it right.

[@miked6426]

He will go on forever ..He's too cool to ever stop

[@sunshaped]

Old Morrissey fan here who's been resistant to most of his music after Southpaw. Haven't heard this except for when he's done it live. Wow, it's a really great song.

[@blackmonster4708]

agreed. i love him. He should have retired after Vaxhaul - but He still turns out hits

[@miked6426]

I was listening to Southpaw last night. Just a dark album.

[@WatchingTheWhackJobs]

Oh hello beloved BPS fancy meeting you here! I looked up this vid today during the Tommy Robinson/UK police state situation to hear the line "they say to serve and protect but what they mean to say is get back to your ghetto" which to me, pretty much sums up the message the UK establishment is sending to white working class Brits who are not towing the propaganda line.

[@TheodorusRex]

Black Pigeon! Love you're videos - you are doing a great service to the world. ...and yes, great tune.

Just saw him perform this at the Santa Barbara Bowl here in CA just a few hours ago. So heavy. And the man is really at the top of his game this far on. So good...

[@cosmofoxp2343]

Yes, it was absolutely brilliant. I was there too. So powerful

I saw him play it in Seattle at the beginning of his current tour. The most powerful thing I've ever witnessed at a music show. Stuck in my head 27 days later!

[@Viracocha711]

WOW! ...I saw Tears For Fears at the Santa Barbara Bowl way back in 1990 or 1991 when I was stationed at Vandenberg AFB, California! That's a really cool amphitheater with a lot of history! The girl I was dating at the time was going to UCSB & knew all about it.

[@kittenklub1964]

I've been directing people to this in the wake of George Floyd's murder - This song is over 10yrs old! Morrissey despises police brutality and the abuse of 'establishment' power. One of Moz's finest songs - he will ALWAYS shine a spotlight on the things other people shy away from. ("It might smear their lovely career" - The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores). Watch him perform it live, with his mandatory backdrop showing scenes of police brutality: czcams.com/video/dJ3CQ4TIFyI/video.html
LEGEND!

Excellent song. Played loud = kicks ass.

[@DylanHughesPhotoVideo]

The vocal melody and lyrics themself just sound so stupid. Like he's just spluttering out words. So distasteful. And exactly what association does Morrissey have with ganglords? Seems so out of place and a forced attempt to be masculine, in an cliche way. Like it's cool to associate with derelict violent characters. I don't understand how he went from his early career classics to this. I'm a huge morrissey fan, by the way. But it's like he lost his awareness and taste for what timeless music sounds like. He made it... once upon a time.

[@AriadneRimbaud2]

Are you really a Morrissey fan? Haha.

[@pingpong9275]

DylanHughesss i think its anti establishment and libertarian views.

[@leslymason129]

Yes, the three comment responses sum up my reaction to this comment, but I still feel the need to say my piece. "And exactly what association does Morrissey have with ganglords?"
He's ALWAYS been fascinated with the gang mentality. He grew up in 70's Manchester and his area was flooded with gang activity. His attraction to them has been displayed throughout his career. Ever heard of FIRST OF THE GANG TO DIE???? Piccadilly Palare?
"Like it's cool to associate with derelict violent characters."
Yes derelict and violent like a person who "killed a policeman when he was thirteen"? (I want the one I can't have)
"Heavy-rings on bitten fingers. Black-eyed Susan sometimes shakes to break. So, watch it" That's a bit violent, isn't it? (Black-eyed Susan)
What about The Last of the Famous International Playboys, a song about idolizing criminals and murderers. A song that mentions the Kray twins with a heroic tint. "Dear hero imprisoned, with all the new crimes that you are perfecting, I can't hepl quoting you".
Not to mention the song called, "Jack the Ripper".
Trust, he doesn't write about these things because he thinks it'll make him look cool and masculine. I could only guess it's nostalgia for his upbringing.
Lastly, this song isn't even about ganglords, really. It's a song about police brutality. It's social commentary. He's anti-establishment and again, has always been that way. He often uses characters to write through.
Now, it's obviously fair to say you don't like the song but in criticizing it, you've criticized a lot of what Morrissey has always stood for.
I'll quote Ariadne Rimbaud2 in saying, "Are you really a Morrissey fan?"
