Johnny Marr is my hero - he's easily the most intelligent person ive seen in pop music and one of the most intelligent people in the arts generally. I've got so much respect for how he and morrissey stuck by pop music and showed people how powerful it can be as an art form. Pop musicians today could learn a lot from them.

This interview to me is a showcase of the differences at times subtle and at times blatant that exists between lyrical standards of the States and the UK. Not that the talent to write is lacking in the States, but rather the emphasis on song production is more toward the stylistic aspects of the song. How the singer delivers the lyrics, how they harmonize with the instruments, how the track volumes blend the lyrics... but the lyrics... the actual words simply don't have the level of creative tweaking that exists in the UK. "Born in the USA" is a great song... its lyrics deliver a message of metaphoric satire of the failures of the US and of individuals who despite it all, are where they are because of their choice to be... but the lyrics themselves could have been arranged by a junior high students at lunch. Then listen to say... "Life of Riley" ... and the juxtaposition of lyrical arrangement, word choice, and phrasing is like a Rolls Royce compared to a nicely equipped Ford. I'm btw, from Atlanta Georgia, USA. and those here who know, know Hollywood for movies... and the UK for music.
@NIIIIQQ

Compare them to songs written by good US bands though. "Not born in the USA". More like " Venus in Furs" or "Flash Light" or if you wanna go shoegaze "don't fall in love" by Still Corners even though that's post smiths and isn't truly shoegaze. But whatever lol. DIIV is great and Men I Trust Mac Demarco Beach House etc But ya dont get me wrong when it comes to guitar and melodies no one compares to johnny marr. Him and the Beatles are my top guys.

The Queen is Dead is polished, accessible, and immediate, and it feels like the culmination of everything that has gone before. Strangeways feels new: it has more complex arrangements, better lyrics and Morrissey‘s voice is at its peak, but it’s more sombre and less likeable than TQID. The band were, apparently, very happy while they were making it, but it doesn’t sound that way. I think they broke up at exactly the right time, with a damn-near perfect catalogue.
