instagram - davidsmagala FAV TRACKS - The Queen is dead, I know its over, never had no one ever, Bigmouth strikes again, there is a light and it never goes out
Can't believe The Smiths dedicated an album to the Queen dying 36 years in advance. Truly ahead of the curve

Was more about the decline of 1980's UK and people still clinging to the old nostalgia of empire and royal reverence whilst most of us were in a day to day battle with existing. Whether workers or not. Sorry for the downer... But them's the truths he's referencing.

The Smiths were out of this world. A short but brilliant affair. You would like "Hatful of Hollow" from 1984. "The Queen is Dead" was released in 1986.

I recommend their second album 'Meat Is Murder' from 1985. It's amazing.

Heyo, thought I’d share some of the song meanings for those you were confused by! Cemetry Gates - Among the obvious controversies, Morrissey was often accused of plagiarizing his lyrics from old English romantic poets (Keats, Yates, Wilde) by his harshest critics, and generally being mocked as another brooding hopeless romantic frontman. The entire song pokes jabs at these accusations with satirical sarcasm and rips into the hypocritical nature of the snobs that critique others when they themselves “take on loan”. Bigmouth Strikes Again - yeah, this is just Morrissey playing the part of the insufferable asshole who hardly apologizes for his “jokes” and has the audacity to claim all the shade he dishes out has divinely condemned him publicly to a fate akin to Joan Of Arc (that’s some Kanye shit fr) Boy With The Thorn - this is a moment of vulnerability for the whole band, with the thorn being the music industry and critics who refused to give them and their music a fair chance, asking if they don’t believe in them now, will they ever at all? Vicar In A Tutu - a vicar is a significant member of the church who addresses the congregation from a pulpit. By putting him in a tutu and claiming “he’s not strange”, Morrissey challenges the social norms upheld in a conservative religious setting that would scrutinize a person for naively expressing themselves in a way that makes them happy while implying that some of these churches are more concerned with counting “the money from the canister” then actually trying to spread the word of God. It’s worth noting that as far back as the early 80’s, The Smiths had many songs that ally themselves thematically with the LGBTQ+ youth and gender non-conformity, making them pioneers in more ways than one. 12:03 Johnny Marr’s exact reaction when he heard the lyrics Morrissey cooked up over his god-tier guitar riff

It's not really an album but a compilation. However... it's their best album! I reccommend it over all the others.

The lyrics to "Some girls......" are quite poinient when looked at from their time. The best selling tabloid populist newspaper in the Uk throughout the 80's and early 90's (also politically tory right of centre) The Sun had a toplesss model on page 3 six days a week. It's almost a lyric that says, yeah women have tits, some woman are fat, some aren't... So fucking what?" I don't know that is exactly his point but as a Londoner who grew up in a similar environment as him (albeit 15 years younger and in a different English city) I remember the misogynist obsession with women's bodys at the time. And still now in a different format. Rant over 😔

The reference to Anthony and Cleopatra is from the British Carry On films from the 1960s, they were cheeky sex comedies. By the way this album came out in 86 not 84.

Be sure to check out 'Strangeways, here we come' Their last album. Slightly different sound on that one. Such a shame they ended, they seemed to have been evolving into new heights. Thanks for your reaction.
