I just adore Morrissey! We usually influence our children....my son, did me....he played one song from The Smiths and I was hooked...he knew if it wasn’t the music....that the vegan in me would probably connect....I also had a hard life with depression....many of us do.....I just love his attitude, his humour, him! Watched him for the first time at Massey Hall and now have bought tickets to see him in Winnipeg....my country and in the 2nd row! Looking forward to being in awe so much closer than last time! ❤️
The way he responded so well to larry.....
That he is happy when he's singing.
StarGamek I think it may have been satire, or an inside joke of some sort lol
StarGamek I think it may have been satire, or an inside joke of some sort lol
He is a complete one off....and wether you like him or loathe him - he’s been utterly true to himself from day one. A rare commodity in rock music.
Kinda like Liam Gallagher
Larry King?
False
@@mickjagger4707nop
A CONSERVATIVE
I admire how open he is about his depression
He is one of us kek
Love morrissey. To me , one of the greatest singers and songwriters ever. How the Smiths aren't in the rock and roll Hall of Fame is a disgrace.
Not yet anyway. I definitely see them there in the next couple of years.
Neither are the jam bloody scandal
I think Depeche Mode just got in recently so give it time
They're not in because they never really crossed over and had success in the US, The Cure are in but they're a bit more known. Very hard for British acts to get in if they don't make it in the US. I guarantee Coldplay will get in first year of eligibility for instance even though there are many bands from UK more worthy of getting in
I honestly think he doesn't care, like many other artists. I do believe that things like the Rock & roll hall of fame are kind of the opposite of the "rock & roll spirit".
This audience doesn't deserve him. He drops some excellent wit and almost all of it flies over their heads.
How would you know?
At least I’m not the only one laughing a little lol 😂
I dont know man, I appreciate them being quiet tbh
@Jeff Horsager the audience behind them 🙈🙈
How the hell do you know they missed it
His comments on depression and suicide are brutally honest.
I love that he didn’t want to discuss Sam Smith, this guy fucking rules
Such a poor pint, I have no clue as to why so many drink it.
😂😂😂😂 I AGREE
Lol yes… especially with what’s going on with Sam Smith now… lmao… thank god….
ahahahhaha sam smith is a shame to real gay man lmfao
I just adore him...And the last part of the interview where Larry King asks him about his depression and Morrissey says that when hes on stage he could be considered happy, just proves what the solution to depression is...Let your spirit guide you to do what you love, what youre destined to do, and then do it..
Underated comment
What a wise and beautiful human being.
Racism obviously isn't a line in the sand for you
You can say all you want about him. BUT He is a funny dude. “Everyone thinks about it...Even those who mistakenly think they’re happy” 😂
That line instantly made me think of Robin Williams....God bless all who are struggling.
He just seems like a sweet and sincere person
Morrissey don’t worry about depression it’s a normal part of life. You are who you are, and we love you for what you are. A blessing, a gift, a good man, who we think about. Don’t ever stop, don’t ever think twice, making what you can, whenever you can.... love you man...
I wish i could meet Morrissey just one time even briefly, just to thank him and tell him how much his songs meant to me in my youth. Sometimes they were the only things I could relate to.
Have you watched the documentary where he meets a fan who says to him "I just want to tell you how happy you've made me and so many people", and Morrissey deadpans "Well, I certainly didn't mean to......"
If you’ve ever watched Morrissey deliver his songs ( not perform) you will realise that every delivery is different every time. No choreography, nothing contrived , just him. Which is why his song legacy will go on and on .
I don’t know why people don’t like Morrissey. I love him, he’s well spoken and smart.
Ace I love him too, I just don’t agree with his political views at all whatsoever.
@@madalinmastermadeline3761 Over time views can change big time.
John Lowdon very true, however I still stand by what I said at least for now :)
His voice has got better as he's aged. I loved his voice and singing style back in the Smiths days but today he seems to have nailed the delivery. I believe his voice has an essentially Irish root and sometimes he plays up to this live. Wonderful human being who taught me that meat was immoral among other things; oh yes, Sheila Delaney...
Who doesnt like SPM? The only thing I dont like about him is that hes gay
I don't know why but I could listen to him talk all day. His voice is so soothing, he's so eloquent with his words, so well spoken.
@yeahSOwhat I'm pretty sure she was referring to Morrissey.. But I don't think Larry King has been on TV quite that long, either.
I NEED to see this man on stage before I die
SAME I hope someday concerts happen again.
You do not he is a right winger, sad :(
It's great
Can I come with you? :)
@@jimmymack416 whats wrong with being a right winger? Im not saying that what Morrissey says is fully ok tho but being a right winger in general?
R.I.P. Larry, he was the best.
Morrissey seemed very genuine here. Not at all the reputation he has, but then Larry King was asking and speaking sincerely, and I believe that's important to Morrissey.
Wow, the last sentence of Morrissey reminds me of one of his song's title "Jacky's only Happy when she's up on the Stage" ^^
People can dislike him but he is himself and has never wavered from his own path.
Idk why people hate on him. He’s so classy and kind.
Because he has tendencies to racial remarks and celebrates depression
He's racist
They hate that he doesn't go with the mainstream.
No comments about him mentioning depression? It was and is a huge part of the man, his lyrics and music.
I appreciate it, especially that he went into such honest detail. I love Kid Cudi for the same reason.
Music Lover I noticed it.
Morrissey said what I have always felt about people with depression, it's when you are deeply sensitive and have to cope in a harsh society. Dealt with it myself for 50 years and no cure as such but it does become more bearable doing what gives you joy and coping mechanisms X music and nature for me X oh and books and writing poetry, writing feelings down or anything creative if you can't find a good therapist as that can help to talk it out X just wish people took any mental health more seriously 🐮💚🌈
I saw and responded to a few, idk what comment section u were in lol,
It's been years since The Smiths so he is probably a very different person for better or worse.
what a genuine human being
Going to a Morrissey concert is one of the happiest events ever. Just fantastic. X
Morrissey is one of the very few ‘celebrities’ that has my genuine respect.👍👍
I didn't know about his depression, though it's hardly a shock. My heart goes out to him. He's a true artist. For a depressed guy, he sure can write witty and amusing lyrics.
I don't think he wants your sympathy nor anyone else who suffers from depression. And I agree with 100% that it is environmental and social rather than individual or biological. If people understand that more it would be much better than offering sympathy.
That was great, I was fortunate enough to see the mozz & I was about 15ft away from the front stage, he was amazing, the crowd was amazing. I’ll never forget it
He's a legend, and nothing anyone says will ever change that. His contributions to the arts have been profound, and yes you can still listen to his music even if you disagree with him.
I love Him...He does nothing to prepare.. He just does it!!!
Kudos to Larry K. A trusty "news" person and interviewer. Oftentimes, media likes to misquote and misinterpret anything from Morrissey to get catchy headlines. Larry was transparent and loyal to the profession. Let the man answer and did not violate his answers. THAT'S why he said he felt safe and trusted Larry. He's had a lot of very important/controversial guests and pretty much never abused his interviewees 👍
What a legend.
He's quite a lovely chap
Many thanks old boy.
So his answer to depression is to learn to live with it and be open with who you are
No one can write a verse like Morrissey. He suffers depression because he's a true, artistic genius.
Stop romanticising mental illness.
No he's a true artistic genius who happens to have depression.
He is correct about depression. It is there from childhood. It is first thing in the morning and last thing at night. EVERY SINGLE DAY!
He is such an great and inspiring artist and a very interesting person generally.
I love his work.
Morrissey is such a lovely creature. I love his soul and personality.
Fernanda Spinelli too bad he’s racist 😔
@@garrettcord1249 A realist*, racism is just a pejorative label to shut down intelligent discussion. Like "anti semite" or "conspiracy theorist"
@@steve050 spoken like a real white supremacist
@@garrettcord1249 He's not. You should look up the definition of racist
@@garrettcord1249 You don’t know the meaning of the word.
Love Morrissey then, now and always. He’s brilliant.
The sounds of my young life and the struggle to become an adult then to be disappointed by life echo all through his lyrics.
Love him so much. He's so witty and lovely here.
Here is the greatest of them all, everything he says is so true
I love him so dearly. I simply must see at least one show of his in my lifetime ♥️
I really dig this guy. I had to laugh though when he said the voices and rap all sound the same to him and repetitious. My 15-year-old daughter rolls her eyes sometimes when I put on The Smiths because she said all their songs sound the same it's like the same notes over and over again.
I like The Smiths and I like Morrisey, but I have to agree with your daughter. Morrisey has a very one dimensional, monotone voice. Which is OK, because it's a unique voice, but I only like it in small doses.
Morrissey is legend.
I know all about the black dog. He’s been my constant companion since I was 17. Some days are just better than others. But mostly they’re dark, grim and empty. My only advice would be is to find something that sparks a bit of a passion inside you and try to build on it.
"You're depressed now, but when you go onstage, it goes away". That is truly profound.
I want to see Morrissey in concert so bad. Followed him through my military career. Tried to get to to see him in concerts worldwide and couldn't.
Do it if you can, it is a beautiful experience
You gotta see him, it's amazing
Morrissey & Henry Rollins, i could listen to then all day , they have so many things to say and they are good people. You become like this with an open mind on life and of course , age
A lot of his music discuss/express his state of mind & being. Depression is such a crippling condition, an incurable illness you have to face/fight everyday!
It's truly la bête noire of the Sensitive Ones.
As controversial as Morrissey is, The Smiths Music resonates everything I know & feel. I've learned long ago to separate the human from the Art...
I've seen him 6 times since 2007 and have two more set for next May. A marvel.
He said "it's admirable" and I agree and I've never heard anyone say that before.
He is quite wrong. You never know what one tomorrow might present. Never romanticize suicide. Everyone who has survived a self-inflicted fall will tell you just how quickly they changed their minds on the way down.
@Mark Smith Suicidal impulses have no co-relation to intelligence. Nor does a mind devoid of empathy which only co-relates to psychopathy and narcissism. Try to have a decent day.
Living legend. The one musician, along with the rest of The Smiths that I wish I could meet and express my deepest thanks to.
Beautiful man ❤❤
64 years old now and still putting on amazing live shows. Absolute legend
2:55 This explains the line: "Don't give anymore! Don't give anymore! You swore you would not give anymore..." In "Something is squeezing my skull".
40 thumbs down? Why did they come here when they know it makes things hard for Morrissey?
Lol.
Brilliant. He speaks so much sense about depression. God bless you.
Napping during the day always hits me with a good dose of the ol black dog, I've always wondered why. Still though, it doesnt mean we cant have good days, once you have your passion and you get up early and sit in the park, read, work out.
no mater what, his music still makes me have hope.
The record shop I saw him in the '80s in Record and Tape Exchange in Camden think it was called that
Yes it was, I remember it well :)
Oh my gosh…”Memory glands?” Clueless Larry King and clueless graphics writer; it was "mammary glands" and a lyric from the Smiths’ “Handsome Devil.” What a disrespectful thing for that social media person to ask Morrissey after all these years. I agree with him about unfortunate decline of record shops.
I thought you meant Nancy. Brilliant. Lol
I love Morrissey !!
Morrissey for president 🙌 👏 ❤️ 💙 ♥️ 😍 🙌
Morrisey is a national treasure for England 👍🏻one of my all-time favorite singers
The most honest star out there.
I have always loved him. I too have depression and I too am a musician and it goes away when I am performing too! It's the only time it does.
Loved his vibe on Top of the Pops with This charming man whenever that came out but i loved it (in that context especially) and all these years later this feels good too, not groundbreaking but satisfying
Despite the years of preforming on stage he's still very shy
Probably my favorite interview of him. One of the last of his kind, influenced by the greats. Sad the world worships so much rubbish.
nothing new under the sun
@@sexobscura I think people like repeating that phrase without really knowing what it means
@Brit Sehnsucht spot on
There's many phenomenal new artists like Kanye
Tyler the creator is also great
He's so witty
RIP larry king❤
Morrissey's eyes light up!
From my perspective...being a glass half full person...Morrisseys's songs seem purposefully ironic but listening to him you understand, no..that is him...and he is wonderfully rare and unique
I love Morrissey! ❤❤❤Brazil
Long live Morrissey..great interview..
That first social media question was hilarious 😄
I hadn't seen this interview before, but I found interesting to see Morrisey answers questions from social media, which he's not that close. Furthermore, I'm not a fan of him, however some of his songs get me every time.
Can relate to the lifelong depression and that it tends to wake up with you
It's an old interview but I also have a name for my depression: the relentless claw
we are who we are having secretly decided who we'd like to be.
I love this version of Morrisey
R.I.P. Larry King
A wee scrunchie on the thing near the hand, a loose one, ping it when you feel "low". Orange peel scent is good too, nearly better than oxygen. All the best x
Morrisey a legend
A national treasure
Incredible part of a great time to be young.. Oh the college years of loving The Cure, The Smiths, The Replacements, Bauhaus, etc... What a great time and era. And I happen to agree with Morrisey 100%, modern music is NOT interesting
I’m sure older people who grew up before the era you love would have said the same about that music you enjoyed. That’s how it tends to work!
Morrisey boutta be featured on Asap Rocky's album now I'm excited to hear it
As one who has had depression for years, one thing in particuliar has helped me....Being productive.
he speaks lyrically
Would love to hear him tear other artists up in private, must be hilarious.
Oh bless you. I ve struggled with the old black dog all my life x
Morrissey stayed with his irish auntie facing my house every summer.. was no big deal.. two doors down lived Maria McKee ... nobody noticed... 🤷🏼♀️
Wow cool. Was it NY or Denver? He mentions those trips in his autobiography. He seems to have some nice memories from USA and the NY music scene....
3:35 Interesting, Marr on the other hand can't stand some of the songs. Like This Charming Man. When I was at a gig of his, he basically refused to play it even though the crowd was cheering for it. He even started playing it for 5 seconds and stopped, just to tease us! I also know he hated a particular song they did towards the end, a B-Side for Girlfriend in a Coma, I believe it was called Work is a 4 Letter Word (not their best work, I admit)
I agree with Morrissey why can't he have views and still be a good person even if they differ. However Im a what you would call liberal but have many views that sound like im in the middle. Also get the depression issue that means he is deeply impacted by whats up in the world. Lots going on that some can't block out n live in denial. I think he is one of them.
What a hugely endearing person Morrissey is!
This thumbnail is so fucling hilarious
Mammary glands not memory glands
Fascinating man.
