Heaven Knows He's Happier Now

Ringleader of the Tormentors - Morrissey


Morrissey was recently voted as one of the Top 100 living geniuses of our time. His recent album Ringleader of the Tormentors is a departure from his gloomier days with The Smiths. It's an excellent album.

An interpretation of Morrissey track, in direct reference to the film director Pasolini with his debut film 'Accattone'.

The HMV / Parlophone Singles 1988-1995


This is a beautifully re-mastered collection of 62 Morrissey songs including many previously unreleased b-tracks.

If you don't know Morrissey, this is a great introduction to his music.

Hi Justdoit,


'Heaven Knows He's Happier Now' is actually a tongue-in-cheek word-play reference on Morrissey's title in The Smiths - 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now'.


Morrissey himself, now solo for many years and touring strong, certainly seems a lot happier now.

Hi Christian,


Good to know there are some Morrissey birds of a feather here on glocals. I know of one other, so there is at least 3 of us. Smile


Morrissey has claimed to have been depressed for many years.


See: http://hbcprotocols.com/morrissey.html


His official 'unofficial' website at: http://true-to-you.net/


It appears that Morrissey has decided my antidepressents are no longer for him - he has self-reportedly taken them on and off for many year - as the closing lines of "Something is Squeezing my Skull" confirms.


He's just released a new album called "Swords" in the last couple of weeks. Will try to get hold of the vinyl version.


David

There is some good recursivity here: Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now was also a toungue-in-cheek play one words. I think it was from Sandie Shaw.


Blood aside, justdoit, his heart is English.


David Lawson, you've been dropping hints about Morrissey all over the place!


 


For both of you, in case you're not aware, Morrissey was the guest on Desert Island Discs last Friday. You can Listen Again for the next two weeks or so.
