That Morrissey, a singer stereotyped as being all about musical melancholy and despair has produced a work of such beautiful warmth and love, is just brilliant. One of the most moving songs I know: "And I have to dry my eyes".
@@PhilBig68 Really Phil?!?! OBVIOUSLY not you or me...because we’re here dear boy. But to the vast majority of unenlightened neophytes Morrissey is (unjustly) an unknown. So, don’t take umbrage, spread the word! Cheers! 🇬🇧
One of my favorite songs ever. Moving. Beautiful. Love it. The video doesn't do it justice. I always wondered why this song did not generate more traction. Morrissey made so many incredible songs... Jack the Ripper, Lifeguard on Duty, Paint a Vulgar Picture, Do your best and don't worry, Will never marry, and countless others. What a gift he gave to us. Thanks, SPM.
Losing in front of your home crowd You wished the ground Would open up and take you down And will time never pass? Will time never pass for us? Your weary wife is walking away Your nephew, it's true Well, he thinks the world of you And I have to close my eyes Losing in front of your home town The crowd call your name They love you all the same The sound, the smell, and the spray You will take them all away And they'll stay 'til the grave Your weary wife is walking away Your nephew, it's true Well, he thinks the world of you And I have to close my eyes Losing in your home town Hell is the bell That we'll not ring again You will return one day Oh, because of all the things That you see when your eyes close Your weary wife walking away Your nephew, it's true He still thinks the world of you And I have to dry my eyes
This song pulls so much emotional strings, the melody, the words, the music, the vocal harmonies. A song that many would kill to compose. This song always open the floodgates of my eyes...
To me, it's about keeping up the hard work, even when you feel knocked down. Tired. There's a reason why you want to keep going... Love you Stephen Morrissey.
Fui boxeadora amateur, me tocó ser Sunny siempre y hoy con 35 años tengo la necesidad de volver "because of all the things, that you see when your eyes close" Te amo Moz.
This song is so much more depressing if you look deeper. All you want for this guy to be happy, he has all the love and support but he feels like he doesn’t deserve it. Brilliant
1996 driving down the 60fwy on a hot summer day in Los Angeles. Heading out to Santa Monica with friends all singing along to this song…only 18 years old
@@allybally0021 LOL It was in '97 outside the Electric Factory in Philly during Moz's Maladjusted tour. Happened to walk around the side of the building and down the alley at the right time when he was out there greeting fans! :)
Losing in front of your home crowd You wish the ground Would open up and take you down And will time never pass? Will time never pass for us? Your weary wife is walking away Your nephew is true Well, he thinks the world of you And I have to close my eyes Oh... Losing in front of your home town The crowd call your name They love you all the same The sound, the smell, and the spray You will take them all away And they'll stay Till the grave Your weary wife is walking away Your nephew, is true Well, he thinks the world of you And I have to close my eyes Oh...
@@dutchcub what's stupid and rude??? If you know the song, you know the words, if you don't know the words, you can clearly hear them. He sings them clearly enough. People typing lyrics into RU-vid comment sections maybe, should "get a life" as in, find something better to do. Your insult means nothing, because I suspect you're much less let's say "interesting" than me.
