i recently had a bit of a debate with my girlfriend about '
suedehead' by
morrissey. to cut a short story shorter, her viewpoint was that it was so sad because it sort of 'gives up'. i
didn't share her idea, but i know what she meant. 'let the music play', on the surface, is a northern soul
stomper. but the vocal lends this air of
melancholia. it makes me sad and i
don't know why. i kind of like that. sometimes a song doesn't need to be a call to arms or a weepy or a dancer. sometimes a song, like a life, can be a weary sigh.
