Description
As for There Is a Lightif you dont tear up at the chorus, you belong to a different species. The scenario involves another doomed affair, a love (and a lifeMorrisseys) that never really started. But here Morrissey hovers in an ecstatic suspension of yearning that becomes its own satisfaction, an emptiness that becomes a plenitude. The greatest of his many songs about not belonging anywhere or to anyone, it so very nearly tumbles into comedy (and there are those whove laughed) with the melodramatic excess of its image of the double-decker bus and the romantic entwining-in-death of the not-quite-lovers. But the trembling sincerity of the pleasure, the privilege is mine keeps it on the right side of the gravity/levity divide in the Smiths songbook. (excerpts from Pitchfork)
