Sing Your Life

I think it's because he finds too many artists are singing about such generic things in life, but Moz likes it his way, about his place in society and his unique way of dealing with things.

Quite simply, its morrissey's mission statement.

This is the song that got me hooked on Morrissey and the Smiths...its a fabulous song...just the whole concept of someone saying to another...life is pointless, who cares if you can't sing, just grab a microphone and sing. I have to say though...the BEST version of this song is the KROQ single version....blows you away...I don't care much for the album version.

I get an intense feeling EVERYTIME I listen to this song it has powerful words and makes you think of things you take for granted.

Am I the only one who believes that this is Morrissey taking a sarcastic shot at those people at karaoke bars who take themselves far too seriously when it comes to selecting and singing a song?

i am POSITIVE morrissey would never direct a song with such grandeur to people at karaoke bars, this reflects on self-expression and those who are awkward at doing so, he's giving it all a musica accent by mentioning "walk up to the microphone" and "sing on-key"... that is all.

I absolutely love this song, especially:

And make no mistake, my friend Your pointless life will end- But before you go, Can you look at the truth ? You have a lovely singing voice A lovely singing voice ! And all of those Who sing on-key They stole the notion From you and me!

My interpretation: Life is short, and you ought to sing if you want to. :)

I AGREE WITH saucerfulofsproule

"Any fool can think of words that rhyme Many others do Why don't you ? Do you want to ?''

All time favorite song. i can't ever listen to it just once, it always ends up on repeat. =]

What a powerful song!!

"Walk right up to the microphone and name.....all the things you love.....all the things you loathe."

Amazing and sung with such passion!
