Somehow lately I have been on a nostalgic trip and revisited many older songs with a deeper message or story. The Smiths are maybe not so well known, but I love their songs. This one is probably the most known, mainly because a part of this song was used in the TV series charmed. But when you listen to the whole song, you realize how wrong the picture is you had of this song back when you saw it. In the end.. we all just wanna be loved, right?
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
I am the son
And the heir
Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
Of nothing in particular
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
There's a club if you'd like to go
You could meet somebody who really loves you
So you go and you stand on your own
And you leave on your own
And you go home and you cry
And you want to die
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
See I've already waited too long
And all my hope is gone
You shut your mouth
How can you say
I go about things the wrong way?
I am human and I need to be loved
Just like everybody else does
Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore
Opening lyrics from There is a light that never goes out by The Smiths.
Stay strong & safe good people.
"...because the music that he constantly plays
it says nothing to me about my life"

The only wild and colorful spot in a clean and classic street, we passed under his window and I immediately recognised the album covers - a shrine to The Smiths !
His face appeared behind the colorful decorum and we connected for a few moments, singing a few lines from "This Charming Man" to each other...
Music does bring people together.
Always stay charming towards strangers, love.
Prints are on the way ! โ๏ธ

Ask- The Smiths
A quick post from me as it's been such a busy day today - will catch up later!
Thanks again to playingwithbrushes for the texture.
Sentirse infinito... Bella utopรญa.
Es como si yo fuera un puzzle. Un rompecabezas cuyas piezas estรกn cambiando constantemente de sitio, encajรกndose de mรบltiples formas, una y otra vez. Aรบn asรญ, este nunca consigue ser completado. Me faltan piezas, algo que encaje en mรญ.
Aunque puede ser que yo sea una pieza que, divagando entre constelaciones y universos blancos, ande extraviada buscando mi puzzle...

My faith has holes and hope it won't hurt
When I get buried beneath the dirt
But a part of me still believes
My spirit will soar above the trees
Yet a desperate fear flows through my blood
That my soul gets buried beneath that mud.

Salford Lads Club, Coronation St, Salford
Itโs been over a month since I posted the iconic Salford Lads Club front doors here on Flickr and added it to my Etsy shopโฆ not a sniff of a sale so far, but thatโs art and photography for you in a commercial world!
As I mentioned in my previous write-up, Kathyโs parents both lived in Salford and her dad was a member of the club in his youth so it was a great surprise to find this room. Here are stored all the membership records going right back to 1903. It took our guide Ross no time at all to dig out the membership card of Kathyโs dadโฆ and all his brothers from such a well organised and indexed filing system (all the grey boxes on the shelving). We even got photocopies of all the family records and at no cost!
But this room is more than just an archive storeโฆ look at the grey panel left of the chairs. That is a laser cut (might be water cutโฆ not sure) panel of a selection of members names, all arranged alphabetically which fill the entire wall behind me. We found Kathyโs dads name and brothers on the wall but it was too high to capture a good close up image (a good reason to go back and try again with a tall tripod).
One final note to mention, many footballers of yesteryear were members of SLC including Brian Doyle (Stoke City), Steve Fleet (Manchester City), Albert McPherson (Walsall and coach at West Bromwich Albion) and most tragic of all โ Eddie Coleman (Manchester United) who was killed in the Munich air disaster. Thatโs his membership card over the desk with his last entry dated 6th February 1958.
This is the bar at The Smith. It is not open yet, but you can eat outdoors. Top shelf takes on a whole new meaning here. I don't know how they even clean this!
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I'm tired and I
I want to go to bed
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
And then leave me alone
Don't try to wake me in the morning
'Cause I will be gone
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I will feel so glad to go
Sing me to sleep
Sing me to sleep
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore
Sing to me
Sing to me
I don't want to wake up
On my own anymore
Don't feel bad for me
I want you to know
Deep in the cell of my heart
I really want to go
There is another world
There is a better world
Well, there must be...

Sleeve: Morrissey
Morrissey changed the wording on the soldier's helmet from "Make War Not Love" to "Meat Is Murder". The original image is used in Emile de Antonio's 1968 Oscar-nominated documentary 'In the Year of the Pig.' Apparently Morrissey used the image and altered it without permission from de Antonio.
Porto, August 2009 (The Smiths, "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out").
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure and the privilege is mine
[taken with iPhone 3G]
There's a club, if you'd like to go,
you could meet somebody who really loves you,
so you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own,
and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die.
Post and Run mode again....
I'll try to visit you later!
SeeeYaaa!

Ohh.. the soundtrack... The Smiths
Last night I dreamt
That somebody loved me
No hope, but no harm
Just another false alarm
Last night I felt
real arms around me
No hope, no harm
Just another false alarm
So, tell me how long
Before the last one ?
And tell me how long
Before the right one ?
The story is old... I know
But it goes on
The story is old... I know
But it goes on
architectural detail looking up in grant's tomb - morningside heights, manhattan, nyc
Approximately 90,000 people from around the country and the world donated a total of over $600,000 towards construction of his tomb, the largest public fundraising effort ever at that time. Designed by architect John Duncan, the granite and marble structure was completed in 1897 and remains the largest mausoleum in North America. Over one million people attended the parade and dedication ceremony of Grant's Tomb, on April 27, 1897. (from the Nat'l Park Service website)
