Two other loose categories could be formed out of the songs on The Queen Is Dead: Beside the meta, there’s the merry and the melancholy. Despite the morbid (and misspelled) title, “Cemetry Gates” is sprightly and carefree. Even though they’re strolling among the gravestones quoting poetry at each other to show how intensely they feel the sorrow of mortality, the life-force is strong in these precocious youngsters. As so often with Morrissey, the frissons come with the tiny quirks of unusual word-choice or phrasing—the little jolt of the way he pronounces “plagiarize” with an incorrect hard “g,” for instance. Featuring the album’s second instance of cross-dressing, “Vicar in a Tutu” is a slight delight with just a casual twist of subversiveness in a passing reference to the priest’s kinky antics being “as natural as rain”: This freak is just as God made him. Almost cosmic in its insubstantiality, “Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others” seemed at the time an anticlimactic ending to such an Important Album. Now I think the understatement is just right, rather than the obvious curtain-closer, “There Is a Light That Never Goes Out”—the glide and glisten of Marr’s playing on “Some Girls” is that never-fading light.

Sin embargo, luego de dos semanas, decidieron volver a admitir a "Andy" por lo que la banda temporalmente se volvió en un quinteto. The first song from the album to be recorded, in July 1985, was "The Boy with the Thorn in His Side". The recording, made with engineer Stephen Street at a small studio in Manchester and initially intended as a demo, was considered by the band to be good enough for release as a single. It went on sale on 16 September 1985 and made number 23 in the UK Singles Chart.

Firstly, the original album. The Tim Young mastered UK Rough Trade original is - like all of them - rather brittle and strident. I've never understood the hyperbole around original pressings. Con dicha formación grabaron los singles "Panic" y "Ask", además de irse de gira por el "Reino Unido" hasta que en "Octubre" del mismo año, por incompatibilidad con el resto de miembros, "Craig" es retirado.Skull Lovers svg | Til Death Do As Part Clipart | Gothic Couple Cut File | Flaming Lovers Stencil | Day of the Dead T-shirt png | La Muerta And then there’s the life-and-death serious stuff. Both songs of unrequited love, “I Know It’s Over” and “There Is a Light” make a pair: The first spins majesty out of misery, the second transcends it with a sublime and nakedly religious vision of hope-in-vain as an end in itself. The writing in “I Know It’s Over” is a tour de force, from the opening image of the empty—sexless, loveless—bed as a grave, through the suicidal inversions of “The sea wants to take me/The knife wants to slit me,” onto the self-lacerations of “If you’re so funny, then why are you on your own tonight?” and finally the unexpected and amazing grace of “It’s so easy to hate/It takes strength to be gentle and kind.” Not a strong or sure singer by conventional standards, Morrissey gives his all-time greatest vocal performance, something ear-witness Johnny Marr described as “one of the highlights of my life.” A steal for 20 quid. I compared this to my original pressing and as expected nothing will beat the original but to the untrained ear this is also an excellent press. The only print error is in the gatefold pic of the band outside Salford lads club. On the original you Coleman, Mark (11 September 1986). " The Queen Is Dead". Rolling Stone.
