Nick Cave said that Morrissey recently contacted him to offer him Control singing for a new song. Something, the cave, a long -time fan, “would have liked to have done”. If it hadn’t been the fact that Morrissey didn’t ask him to sing a stanza or take over background singing. But to open the track with an “unnecessarily provocative” speech.
“It was just not my thing”
In response to a FROM “RED HAND Files” website about his relationship with Morrissey, Cave said that the former front man of the Smiths reported to him last year by email because of the song. Cave described the piece as “pretty nice”. However, he said “started with a long and completely irrelevant Greek Bouzouki-Intro”. (A bouzouki is a long -necked string instrument.)
Morrissey wanted this instrumental intro, according to Cave that he wanted a “somewhat silly anti-woke fire speech [vorträgt]the [Morrissey] had written “. Cave said no details about the pamphlet. And even admitted:” I think I agreed to the basic idea to a certain extent. ” But, he said, “it just wasn’t my thing”. So “I rejected politely”.
Politics does not belong in Caves music
“I try to keep politics out of the music in which I am involved,” said Cave. “I think that it has a weak effect. And runs counter that I try to achieve.”
Even if it is not known what exactly Morrissey had written for Cave, it is not particularly difficult to imagine it. In recent years, Morrissey has triggered controversy regularly, especially through some of his rather right -wing views – especially with regard to immigration. Since the publication of his last solo album “I am not a dog on a chain” in 2020, Morrissey has announced several follow -up works, but none of them have been published so far. In an interview last year, Morrissey claimed that an album was “silent” and the “idiot culture” prevented its publication.
Morrissey on tour despite the lack of albums
Even without new music, Morrissey was active on tour. This spring he ended a series of concerts in North America and was just starting a European tour that will continue until August. Another stage with concerts in North America is planned for September and October.
